I got Juan a panini grill today. He has been wanting one for a while now. After I made him a panini I made one for myself. I used sliced Italian bread, two slices of oven roasted Tofurky, vegan mozzarella flavored ‘cheese’, spinach, tomatoes, basil and a little olive oil and vinegar with a small side of veggie sticks (chips). It was very good. I am SO serving these bad boys at our next gathering. I’m thinking of inviting some people over this week just so that I can make a bunch. It was fun.
I swear… I’m not bored yet. Really.
Quite a bit has happened since I last blogged. I quit my job last week. To make a very long story short, I got tired of the crap and didn’t think it was worth it anymore. So I left. Some might say that I’m stupid and that I should really think before I act. Maybe they don’t have it in them to stand up for what they believe in. But I do. I’m not much of a risk taker. I’m a planner. I follow a routine. But every once in a while I take a deep breath, close my eyes and jump. And somehow I always manage to land on my feet. Sometimes you just have to take a chance.
Now I get to spend more time with my son. And when I start school in September I can give it my 100% because I won’t have to worry about work. My family and I benefit more with my being home. I feel better. I’m calm and content. I really need this. And I thank my husband for being so supportive. He actually suggested I quit a long time ago. I’m just glad that it’s finally over. Now I can breathe.
There’s been quite a bit going on in my life these days. I guess you can say it’s an even mix of good and bad. We’ve been going out more which is definitely good. We have a vacation planned at the end of July. We’re going to New Hampshire for a few days to visit with my grandparents. Then we’ll probably spend a few days in Rhode Island so we can catch up with my family. I start school in September. I guess the only bad part is work. It sucks as always. But I’m learning to not care. The problem is that I used to care so much and it got to me. But I’m not letting it get to me anymore. It’s just not worth it. I guess the only other bad thing would be my second wisdom tooth which was extracted last week. It still hurts. I’m also taking antibiotics which make my stomach cramp up. So if my mouth isn’t hurting my stomach is. I really wasn’t expecting this one to hurt. The first one was just fine. I didn’t feel any pain at all. I wish I knew how much longer this pain is going to last. I don’t think I can take much more of it.
Anyway, here are a few pictures I took while at the beach last week. They’re not my best. However, they’re not that bad considering it was very cloudy and humid.
I can’t wait to take Jack (my camera) to Mexico in February. I’m going all out too. I’m going to hook myself up with some new lenses, filters, etc. I will definitely have lots of kick ass pictures this time around.
Maybe one day I’ll change this layout. I’m not sick of it yet. But something different might be nice.
