It's been a minute.

Wow. It's been quite some time since my last post. Here's what's been happening with me since the last time I posted.

I have been getting out more these past few weeks. I belong to quite a few Meetup groups and have gone out about 3 or 4 times with these groups. I belong to a card playing group, and I have a lot of fun when I go out with them. As a matter of fact, I went to a Meetup last night with this card group and had a ball. I'm really starting to meet some pretty great people here.

I also decided that I want to buy a house, so I've been actively doing that for the past few weeks. I put an offer in on a house a few weeks ago. However, that fell through (thank God). A few days after I put the offer in, I decided that I really didn't want to live there. My realtor (who I LOVE) told me to make sure that I keep looking for houses. So I did, I found other houses that I liked much better than the one I put an offer on. So, I decided when they came back with a counter offer that I would just say no. The thing that pissed me off, though, was when they came back with the offer they said the home was sold 'as-as.' That's fine, but that's not how they advertised it! If I had known that, I wouldn't have even put an offer in on the house. The part that's most aggravating about it is the fact that I had to get pre-qualified with this bank in order to have them pay for the closing costs if/when we agreed on a purchase price. I did pre-qualify with them, but if I had known they were selling it as is, I wouldn't have had them pull my credit. Now, that's an extra pull on my credit which didn't need to be there!!! Now, I will need to explain that to the next bank that I come across.

Work...is work. I am EXTREMELY happy that I have a job in these tough economic times. I have been with my company for almost nine years, and they're not really in the habit of laying people off. However, in this day and age you don't know what may happen. I go to work faithfully.

I've also been working out for the past two months. I work out at the job for at least 4 days a week. I don't really work out on the weekends, but I might ramp that up a bit in the future. I'm getting slightly frustrated because I saw some weight loss, but not really a lot more. I'm starting to think that the foods I "thought" were healthy really are not. So, I'm really just maintaining my current weight. I'm going to work on that this week.

Other than that, I don't really have a lot more going on. I think that's enough for now. I'll try to update this blog a lot more. I think I will try to do it from my phone since I'm always using that thing.

I'm looking forward to a great week!
