anniversary
So Eric didn’t do anything for anniversary.. it’s a long story that, if you want to hear I’ll tell you some time. Today though it was like we had a belated anniversary. We took ourselves, with some special anniversary money, down town to a great restaurant, Dragon Fish for happy hour sushi. It was just the two of us there. Sitting, people watching and eating some of the best sushi in town. It made for a nice day. After dinner we walked over to Powell’s Bookstore. I love Powell’s, it’s so huge and overwhelming on one had but awesome and great on the other because just about every book known to man. We went and bought books. We hadn’t gotten some new books in FOREVER!.. I’m so excited because I bought every Diane Mott Davidson book. I love her as an author and I love her books. They’re fun, about food and a pretty quick read. I’m so excited. SO now I have 8 of her books to read. WOO HOO. I know I could have borrowed from family but I wanted this collection myself to have. Eric’s got so many books and I need to catch up to him 
LOL….SO if you want to find me, I’m either posting more recipes or better yet, sitting by the warm fire, sipping some great coffee and reading a wonderful book.

Today I went to see the Dr. for a follow up for the tendonitis. GREAT NEWS! He doesn’t think I’ll need surgery, just more physical therapy. I was glad to hear that. SO he scheduled me in for four more weeks of physical therapy and at my request he took me off restrictions as work. Not that it made a big difference, it’s not like I was only working 4 hours anyway.
Today marks the third anniversary for Eric and I. I can’t believe that we’ve been together for three years. On one hand that seems like so long and yet, it doesn’t seem very long at all. I’m so lucky he’s in my life. I can’t imagine life without him. I could totally gush about him right here but then, Eric doesn’t like when I do that in such a public post. SO, for him I just say?.. I LOVE YOU. Tonight we went out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. They’ve got great food and lousy drinks but the food is so great you can’t beat it. I love the chicken Mole so of course I had that and Eric has some hot, spicy thing. After dinner we went to Cold Stone for dessert. It was so nice to just hang out and be together and have an enjoyable dinner. It was a great way to celebrate three years of togetherness.

LJ Status:
Ok, so I think I’ve decided to keep my LJ and just post to it with some degree of consistency. I just need to do this for myself more than for anyone else. When I write in here consistently it makes it so much easier. When I scrapbook I can take my comments and journaling right from here for the page. I know that if I really wanted more than just family to read this I could make it happen but this is really just for family and friends. It’s my communication device to you all since I’m so terrible about calling, writing or emailing for that matter. OK, Done with that.
So what have I been up to? Well the reception went off the other weekend without a hitch and now I’m back to the old grind. Work is going well and I’m getting a lot done. It’s amazing when you’re not distracted by things how much you can get done.
Eric n Josh:
Josh is living with Eric and I and supposedly they’re both looking for jobs but I’m not sure they’re looking too hard. I find it hard to fathom not putting 100% into looking for a job. Both of them are like two peas in a pod sometimes. I’ll be so glad when they both are working a bit just so things can get a little looser with the money. Being the sole support for the whole house is getting overwhelming. I’m in that space where I’m not mad, but irritated that I’m the only one working. I am lucky though in that I don’t have to worry about things around the house. Between Eric and Josh things get done and I don’t have to do them which is nice and won’t be the case once they’re both working. It’s interesting though that when we first started this agreement they were both so good about taking care of the house and then they slack off. What’s up with that?
WAIT! I do the same thing. Actually Eric and I had a chat the other day about how we wanted to change this and that and I had to stop us and recognize the fact that we say we’re going to do all these things all the time but then, for whatever reason, they don’t happen. I don’t thing that we don’t try I think it’s competing priorities. So Eric and I have decided to make Monday nights our date night. We’ll see how this goes. Maybe when we get this down we can tackle something else.
Anniversary:
Speaking of Monday. This Monday was our 1 month anniversary. I couldn’t believe that it’s been a month. Eric made an awesome dinner with steak and couscous but the best part was the cr?me Brule at the end. He even made two for me. It was the best! He’s the best. He spoils me so much I don’t deserve it. Every day that goes by I realize just how wonderful this is?. Married life?. In a way things are still the same for us both but in a very real way they are DIFFERENT.. We’re married! I realize every day just how lucky I am to have found Eric and that he and I are together forever. What a wonderful thing to know??How lucky am I?
Work:
Work is going well. It’s the same old, same old. I’m not sure if you all knew this but recently I had applied for a job at Xerox. I just don’t always feel valued where I work now and I wanted to see what other opportunities there were for me. It was great to get a call back from Xerox and make it to the final interview. Unfortunately they couldn’t offer me the same salary I currently have or better so I had to decline the offer but I was glad to know that I do have professional value and there are other opportunities out there.
Speaking of opportunities, my business, www.creativewebsights.com is coming along nicely. I’ve got a few clients and I’m getting my business website done finally. I think I’ve decided I’ll get all the business licensing done this month, get the website done and the template for all contracts done before the end of the year and then I can hit the ground running next year. In fact I’m going to the NW Women’s convention here in Portland next weekend to work and hand out my business cards and flyers. I’m hoping to get a bit of business. If I do Josh will have a great opportunity to work at home and make money and I’ll make a cut of what he does. So it could be a win-win.
Sorry if this sounds random? I’m at work and as always I’ve got tons of things going on in my head.
Well, I’ve got to get back to work so I’ll write more later?..
