the lazy one

ok so I have been SO LAZY about my blogs. I have really not been feeling like blogging lately. I have kind of been feeling the same way about writing letters and scrapbooking. Bummer. However I have a lot to add on my craft blog! Because that's pretty much the thing I do the most now days. I have been trying to find a job, but no luck! It truly sucks trying to find a job right now. But thankfully Jake's job is enough to cover all of our bills. It just means that we can't buy extra things, and we can't pay off our credit cards or student loans any faster. So I am still looking looking looking for a job. It takes me hours sometimes to apply to only a few jobs online! So many employers are starting to only accept applications from candidates that have a bachelors degree! LAME. Ummm what else, we are not trying to have any kids yet. We were thinking about it for a while a while back. But recently I have been wanting to NOT get pregnant. Weird I know. But I just all the sudden really felt like I was not ready to be a mom yet! I had a doctors appointment a while ago because I was late twice and both times the period was really painful and weird. But tests came back normal, so the doctor said to just try and stress less. I also had to go to the doctor for more impetigo, but this time it was right above my lip. When it finally went away (after two weeks of taking antibiotics 4x a day!) it left a pink scar. GRRRRR. That really frustrates me, but what can you do? Oh well. Ummm so the final consensus is that I can eat cheese, but not other dairy product! So weird, but GOOD. Because cheese is my favorite. It's just not good in the sense that it has so many calories in it and I am trying to get in shape! Jake and I have been going hiking every Sat for almost 2 months now! Go us! And we are counting our calories. At one point in my life, ok ok ok at more then one point in my life, I vowed that I would never be a "calorie counter", but here I am, counting calories. It sucks, but it is good for me. I will learn to eat healthier and I will get in shape. I have been also either going for at least a 2mile walk everyday or a 1mile walk + a 1mile run. That's been going great. The first week I ran I only did it one time (in great time!) but was so sore that I didn't go again that whole week. So the next week I decided to go as much as possible so that my body could get used to it fast. I went 3 or 4 times and I was WAY less sore. But when we went on our hike on Sat my legs got tired faster then normal. Then on the hike this Sat I twisted my knee! And now I can't go running today. And I really really want to! Its been making me feel so anxious. I always go running by the beach and today as I was driving past it, and feeling the nice nice sunshine I was so sad that I couldn't go out for a jog. *tear*. Anyways, more news! We adopted a cat! He was an abandoned cat, fully grown. He is white with tanish-yellow golden eyes. We named him Alfred, but we call him Freddo, you know, "I know it was you Freddo..... and it breaks my heart!". LOL, Jake says that to everyone :) He is a really great cat. When I set up his litter box he went right to it, and has never gone anywhere except in it (even though I accidentally bought one that is too small!). And even just the first day of having him he followed me around from room to room and was jealous of my attention. I would sit down at the computer to write an email and he would jump up onto the desk and try to get me to pet him. So needless to say he has loved us from day one :) And we love him. Here is a photo of him and Jake laying in bed reading the very first night we had him!

So cute! He loves to sleep in the room with us, and when we are just laying down at night or waking up in the morning he always comes and crawls onto our chests, waiting to get scratched ;P Here is a photo of him on my chest one morning...

You can't see me in the photo because I am taking it, but I still think its a cute photo :) Anyways, speaking of photos, I need to go to the store to pick up the photos I had developed this morning! So I will try to be better about blogging!

That IS a cute picture! Aww, it must be so fun to have your first pet together! I kind of dream of that...being married and getting a puppy or kitty...or bunny haha. I'm glad that you have had such motivation to exercise, that is great! Wish I had some too :-P. Hope your knee gets better.
