so...news

A lot has been going on lately, and I have, once again, been horrible about keeping up with my blog.
So here's a quick update:

Loki is now big (tall and weight) enough that she can have her car seat facing forward! She's very much enjoying the big change.

Sweetheart is job hunting and helping me keep the house, and has been doing a lot of furniture moving and origination due to the fact that we moved her things to the third bedroom so she has a space that is all her own.
So now the bookshelves are in the main bedroom, and the computer is out in the living room, which I'm enjoying since Husband would be in the back room shut away from everyone when he was goofing off on the computer. All in all, I really really like the new arrangement.

Husband will be having his third interview for a management position on Monday and I am so proud of him!
The though is that this will be the last interview before he is offered the job, so we're excited. Husband is still holding onto his dream of being a police officer, but will be working on getting in shape while working.

As for me - well, we still don't know what's wrong with me, and I'm no longer working, my next appointment is next week with the second specialist that I'll be seeing. I'm hoping they figure out what's going on, because if not, and they send me back to the first specialist, he's opting to cut me open and look around to see if they find anything. All in all, not wanting to be cut open, so here's hoping that they figure out what's wrong with me. Soon would be nice too.

Mornings

Well, life is starting to get back into a routine, mostly thanks to my new control journal, FlyLady and support from Husband and Sweetheart. (And I suppose Loki's helping some, in her own way.)

Last night was Husband and Sweetheart's first movie date together, they had a wonderful time. Yay for the Old Town Warren and their $5 movie wednesdays. But with the two of them sleeping in, Loki and I decided to make cinnamon rolls for brunch.

Although this is only possible because the pain isn't unbearable. I go to the chiropractor tomorrow, and the specialist again on tuesday, and hopefully he will have more of an idea what is causing the pain and how we can get whatever this is taken care of.

Oww

My body is slowly trying to kill me through extreme pain, and the doctors have no idea what is wrong with me....still.

Hopefully they figure it out soon, because this hurts and I'm very tired of it.

New job, so busy, trying to keep up with everything and falling a little behind. But all in all, loving life.

SNOW!!!

We're finally getting some of the traditional winter weather, in a bit of an abundance. But since I'm not working right now I'm quite enjoying the weather and the fact that I can watch the kids having snow fights in the yard with Loki (she loves watching the kids playing outside)
it's kind of hard to see the snow outside, but if she's starting to get fussy, I just take her over to the window and let her look for a while. It's her new favorite thing to do. Although air kisses are becoming quite popular.

I just love watching it snow knowing I don't have to go out in the weather, and neither do my loved ones.

Music is powerful

It's interesting, the power of music. With a single song you can be reduced to tears, or laughing uncontrollably. Sometimes it's the song itself, or the memories associated with the time you heard the song.
We were listening to a playlist on our way to church, and "Broken" by Seether feat Amy Lee came on. For the first time I remember happy times with my ex, when he brought his guitar to Cottonwood Pointe and serenaded me, and the told me of his parents requirement of a break to prove that we were serious about our courtship (which is ridiculous  and is such a long complicated story that seriously pisses me off I won't go into it now...plus if they would have just waited, we probably would have broken up before a whole year passed, but the fact that we couldn't be together keep us closer than we would have been)

But it also got me thinking about where I've been in life when I think of songs....for instance, I held hands with a boy for the first time (David, one of my first big crushes, who didn't really like me back until I hit puberty, and even then wasn't really nice to me) after listening to DC Talk "Jesus Freak". Then there's "Clumsy" by Fergie, which always makes me think of how I would literally trip and fall over myself with nervousness when Husband and I were first getting to know each other and dating (I lost track of how many plates/glasses/bowls I broke or cracked in that first year....He still teases me about that)

Husband always says it's not the actions in a movie that make you really feel the emotion, it's the music behind the actions driving the point home straight to your tear ducts. Really, just think about it.

And I'll leave you with this video, it's an AMV (Anime Music Video) of "Broken" by Seether feat Amy Lee, the song I was talking about earlier. It's two characters from the anime Bleach,and the combo of the song and the scenes from the anime really just hit the right nerve.

WARNING: If you do follow Bleach or Naruto, the videos do contain spoilers if you are not close to the current chapters!


My other favorite is"Stand in the Rain" by Superchick. I'm guessing most people that read this will have never seen Naruto before, but I think it can be understood either way, but this one makes me tear up every time ...but Hinata is also my favorite character in the series (that's the dark haired girl in the video btw)
