It's been forever and a day since i've updated, so very much has gone on i suppose, but for the most part i keep them in my own memory and don't find the need to write it down. BUT alas, why not document some while i still have my wits about me...lol
The biggest news is that i'm having a baby--a little boy to be exact. I'm 7 months pregnant, doing well, he's healthy, i'm healthy, Jim's healthy, we're all healthy and eager to get this thing going! While the first trimester was absolutely awful (let's just say i lost about 15 lbs just from the morning sickness lol), the past 3-4 months have been a bit easier, save the reflux that i've been cursed with despite gestating a human. It's all a matter of adjusting what i eat and proportion sizes. I suppose it's a really good thing because i've not gained a pound yet! So far, the wee bern is living off the fat of the land, so to speak, and as long as the doctors are happy with his size, i'm fully for not gaining the typical 20-80 lbs most women do! I know i'll eventually gain at least 10 lbs these next few months, but man, never in my life have i ever been so thankful for being a plus size gal...lol Keep it up, kiddo...Mummy's got a lot to give!
Probably not the best time to have a baby, financially, with the state of this world and all, but i know things will work out. Again, it's all about adjustments and compromises and even sacrifices. I'm looking forward to all the challenges and most of all, to have a wee lil boy to snuggle and cuddle with! Jim's finished school (yay!!!) so he's on the prowl for a job, i'm still at Splash, but working from home more often, and gratefully able to keep on working from home once Kiddo arrives. We have a wonderful opportunity to move to Michigan and have a house, my parents house, to start our life as a family, so that's something that's going to happen by the end of summer. Will be wonderful to be so close to my brother and his family, my dad a bit further away, but i know i'll find comfort and solace in the last place my mother made into a home. It's going to be difficult, but i'm also happy to take it on--it's the closest i can be to my mom, the best gift i can give to my child is a happy and full home built on love and care. I just hope i can do her justice. I think we'll all be happier there too, more space, a huge front and back yard, gardens to tend, more than 3 rooms to live in, a gorgeous kitchen to cook in, LAUNDRY ROOM!!! So much to look forward to...i can't wait. I think Jonesy will appreciate it more too, lots of places to hide from the little one while he's so loud and screechy...lol It's going to be wonderfully crazy!
As far as everything else, we're taking it all day by day, it's all any of us can do. I'm hoping Jim finds something in his field as a good transition job, maybe even something transferable. I'm also hoping that MY job is going to be secure, who knows with the fashion industry these days, but just long enough that i can continue to do what i do up in Michigan, and also begin dog training once the bambino gets a bit older. There's so much we want to do, and i think with faith in ourselves, hard work, compromise, and persistance we'll do it.

I haven't updated in eons, probably because i'm either too lazy, too busy, or just not in the posting mood, even though lots has happened in the past year. Anyway, i'm just going to go with some free association right now because i'm totally procrastinating...lol
*I should be working on my 15 patterns this week of my line, but i'm not feeling it right this second. Always happens when i actually have the time to do it. Also, not easy to think Christmas when it's 80 degrees out
*I really wish Jim and i could afford to go to Hawaii--i'm rather obsessed with it right now. The more i look at vacations and resorts and places of interest, the more i want it. Torture!!
*Since i'm now an official certified dog trainer, i guess i should actually start training dogs...lol. I'm in a fix cos I want a dog of my own so badly, but damn apartment won't allow it. Guess i'll have to wait til the move to Michigan next year--the waiting sucks so.
*Jim and i have been together now for 1 year and 23 days (corny, i know)but man, has it flown by! It's wonderful to be with someone who gets me, who i can laugh with and do stupid stuff with and be ME with. We're totally into having weird adventures. One thing i love about him is that he loves to be spontaneous and just do whatever--SOOOO nice to find someone like that, i can't even tell you! We've both done things we'd never done before, and i can't wait to do more. Currently we're into crabbing down the shore and getting ready to plan a nice long weekend of it with camping and such. Can't wait!
*Considering all the crappy things that have happened the past year, this year's been....an adjustment, but good in many ways. Still, it's so hard to believe that i'll never see my Mom again and she won't be here for things that i really took for granted and things that are to come. She was truly my best friend and this year has been far worse with the little things that sometimes i don't know how to get through it all. As my Dad says, "life is adjustment" and he's so very right. I miss her incredibly and not a moment goes by where i don't think of her or want to tell her something. I don't like to live my life thinking i have regrets, but i have two, the most important one being that i didn't spend the time with her that i should have. Living far away was the greatest mistake i've ever made in my life, but never once did she complain or ask me to move closer during the 9 years she fought and suffered with the breast cancer, the Guilleme-Barre, or the bone marrow leukemia. She wanted me to live my own life and enjoy it. She was absolutely amazing, how hard she fought, how inspiring she was til the very end and still is...
Anyway, i guess i should start some form of working type activity now---ugh, is it Friday yet?

Horoscope for week of March 12th
Follow Your Bliss
This is a very big week for you, AMY, due to the New Moon Solar Eclipse that takes place in your own sign of Pisces on Sunday. The effect of an Eclipse can be felt for up to five days before it actually takes place, so you should be feeling the energy shift at the beginning of the week. Change is always a big part of any Eclipse, and although you might not see the results until three months or more have passed, the seed is being planted for you now. Since the Eclipse takes place in your sector of personality and self-identity, you should find yourself going on a voyage of self-discovery in the coming weeks and months. You may not be satisfied with your current status quo, and you might want to pursue your deepest desires, no matter what anyone thinks, including your close family and friends. If you have always wanted to live on a houseboat for example, or to be a ballet dancer, you may find ways to make those dreams realities. Now you should have the courage to follow your bliss, and to live your life in a way that makes you, and you alone, happy!
Every morning i wake up and give myself a little pep talk to the Universe, "this year is going to be my year, it's going to all fall into place, i have faith in that, in myself, in what i would like to happen"--often enough i DO believe it. It's hard to retrain your thoughts into positive ones when you've had a lot of ups and downs, but i know it's something that really does help in many aspects of one's life. I work hard at this daily. Harder than i ever have. Some things have changed and moved forward, some haven't, but that's ok, it's all a learning experience and it's all part of my journey, i understand that. I just truly believe in ONE particular thing that i'd like to enrich my life, and each and every day i focus on that, i throw my intentions out into the universe, reflect, and let them be carried away, feeling deep down in my soul that it WILL come to fruition for me, soon. I've never felt so strongly about this one thing ever before, and i, myself, find it curious that i DO feel this way about it. In spite of all the trials and hardships associated with it previously--i feel SO DEEPLY that this will be. I'm proud of myself for not giving up on it, proud of myself for being open to it, proud of myself for seeing it in a new light, proud of myself for accepting instead of judging.
This will happen. I know it. And it will be amazing...

horoscope for JANUARY 31, 2007
Pisces
Contrary to what you may be feeling, this is not the moment to be thinking about your professional direction, AMY. It's true that your career ambitions are changing, but let things happen in their natural course. Be patient. You need four solid months to succeed in cementing the new orientation of your career. Be confident about the future. When change does occur, it will happen very quickly!
Very amusing considering i am currently studying to become a dog trainer, and that's about the time i'll finish with my book testing bit.
Good to hear, however vague, real, or full of boloney horoscopes may be...woot!

I'd like to go on a really good date for once. Yup. It's been far too long since i've had a good one--i'm talking like almost 2 years...lol The last, oh 10 dates or so, have just been so lackluster to the point of honestly prefering falling asleep on my couch at 9pm on a Saturday night. Yeah, they've been that good...lol
I'd rather be dipping my hangnails in lemon juice.
Grr.
*chants the mantra* ...the right man will come at the right time, the right man will come at the right time...

Even though they are for teenagers (as one can tell by the typos...lol), why the hell not? lol
| What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have? | 
Intrapersonal Intelligence
Some people thing you're a loner, but you just like spending time in your own head with your own thoughts. You're attracted to the works of great philosophers. You've got an intense understanding of yourself, and wish other people were as self-aware as you are. The company of others can be a distraction and an irritant sometimes. You learn best when left alone to figure out the problem for yourself. You'd be best suited to a career as an academic, theologian, philosopher, psychiatrist, or writer. | | Take The Quiz Now! | Quizzes by myYearbook.com |
| What's Your Type? |
The Romantic
You want that guy who can't look at you without tripping, stuttering and handing you flowers. All at once. He's totally into you and no one else, and you love the super-romantic dates and special occations you share together. You feel, perhaps unconsciously, that love has alot to do with how you treat someone and with how you present it. | | Take The Quiz Now! | Quizzes by myYearbook.com |

HUH! I'm rather shocked actually seeing i was born and raised in Pennsylvania...lol Funny what living in PA, OH, MI, NY, and NJ can do to a gal:
| What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | | The Midland | | | Boston | | | North Central | | | The Inland North | | | The Northeast | | | Philadelphia | | | The South | | | What American accent do you have? |

Which tarot card are you?
Suspended decision. Initiation, divination, prophecy. Turning point in psychic powers. Trust in inner voice.
Suspension, change, reversal, boredom, abandonment, sacrifice, readjustment, improvement, rebirth
He usually represents a time of feeling in limbo, being stuck or being prevented from moving forward. He's usually depicted hanging upside down with his hands tied - that's just what it feels like! We need to remain flexible and willing to let go of things, it's probably a time for sacrifice. Like the man in this card from the Murciano Tarot, don't sweat it, take some time out and be patient.
The Hanged Man - External Meaning: Spiritual awareness and the happiness and assuredness it brings. Sacrificing for a noble purpose. Reveral of one's current way of life. Inner peace. Developed intuition and prophecy. Esoteric Meaning: The spirit of the mighty waters. Reversing false images. Sacrifice. Energys: Water

Pisces
Date of Birth: 02/23
Today, you may feel like going back into your past, AMY. There are two kinds of Pisces: the one from the past with nostalgia for "the good old times," and the other one from the future who is unafraid to project himself into the unknown. Even though this sounds a bit contradictory, both these kinds of people help the world to move forward. Think about this today...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take control and push for what you want. You have the ability if you only put your mind to it. An investment will pay off if you aren't too greedy in the process.
I know what i want...the question is how do i get it? The situation is *not* impossible, but it's also not simple. How can you get a second chance when the passion that you feel about something is so electric, it's also damning you? How can you "erase" the past and start anew, let yourself be rediscovered, rediscover things on your own as well, and not be a victim, for lack of a better word, or circumstances that you now know were partly your fault? I have learned so many things, so why can't i get that second chance?
Frustrating.

You are attracted to obedience and warmth.
In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please.
Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

man, i'm 33 and a day. *sigh*
It started off rather shaky, me very cranky, sad, and frustrated with how this life is playing out this year already, missing things i shouldn't be missing, pining for things that don't deserve to be pined for (or do they? i read somewhere if someone is still on your mind it means they are meant to be there--the story hasn't reached it's ending yet...hmmm) etc, etc. BUT it ended up very nicely, lovely dinner with my 2 closest friends, calls from my family, and wishes from friends.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Here's hoping that the next 364 days only get better and better.
