What Happened to March?

So I apparently skipped a month with my blogging. Sorry! Ive been pretty busy lately so I apologize that I haven't been posting. I haven't even be reading any blogs. So whats been going on in my life since the end of February...

- work has been crazy. Lots of new clients and new projects. Lets hope we can keep up with the demand.

- Brett is going back to school. He started classes for the University of Phoenix Online and has been hogging the laptop. I usually post at home so I have to go into the other room to use the computer. too much work.

- my grandfather passed away. He was a great man. We miss him a lot.

- my family came back for the funeral. Thankfully they also all left again. It's nice to see ya - even better to see you go!

- I've been doing well on Weight Watchers. I switched to the Core Program and I've lost a total of 9.5 pounds. Good huh? I need to keep on it. I hate paying $156 for someone to weigh me but its my only real driver. I don't want Arlene to give me dirty looks!

- I bought my first expensive bag. I will have a separate post for this one. It deserves it!

- Billie Jean turned 1 year old on 4/1! Happy Birthday Billie Jean!

- I realized I cant drink like I used to. I puke now. God - I used to be able to drink like the Irish Woman I am - what happened? Now I puke. I hate puking. I should stop drinking so much but now I just want to know if I can drink my way out of this issue. I feel like im in the drinking marathon and I just need to get over "heartbreak hill" (Boston Marathon reference). What do we think? Should I just give up? Am I ever going to win this drinking marathon? or am I just too old?

- I made a huge dent in my debt. yay me! In the past two years I have canceled two credit cards and brought my debt from upwards of $9K down to $1,700!! How on earth did I ever have $9K in debt? My goal before I got married was to be debt free. I was able to get down to one credit card before the wedding (I had three) and Ive been working on the Amex ever since that damn wedding!

- I'm learning how to manage different people. Its a challenge for me to manage people with such different personalities from myself. I am trying not to make people cry. Honestly... its going to take a lot for me to be empathetic at work. I can train people but its when you train and train and train and they still don't get it. I cant handle it and I need to work on that. OR perhaps change my training style b/c apparently some people just cant understand. I'm working on it...

- I went on vacation to visit the In-Laws in Cali at the end of Feb. I ate tacos, fish tacos, burritos, nachos and more Mexican food on top of more Mexican food! Oh and some King Crab Legs! I think I would be down more than 9.5 pounds on WW if I didn't eat like a pig in Cali. We had a blast. I love going out there. We miss you guys!

I think thats it. I'm back. Sorry about March! -Jaci

Ok it's about freaking time you blogged again. :)

One, I heart your purse. So jealous.

Two, Amara hearts your shoes. She loves that fur.

Three, tell Brett that you must have the laptop so that we can gossip.

And last, I pay Cheryl tons of money...and I'm still only 5 pounds lighter than when I started with her. I have issues...
