Making a Comeback...

So I've decided to call myself semi-retired. Rather, I would like to proclaim myself someone like Mariah Carey, who went away for a while, and reappeared even more successful than when she left. I realize that I cannot achieve this as long as I stay "semi-retired" and so here I am. :)

I must apologize for my absence. I know that lately I have really been bad at keeping up with the blogging, but believe me, there are reasons! I would never neglect you. I feel as though I should say though, that my blogging will improve but will probably not be daily as work is HORRIBLE and they think I actually come to work, and not blog. :( Which has been the case. After I came back from my Christmas leave in late December, 2 of my co-workers were out for their leave. And so began the vicious cycle of work, work, work!!!! Oh it was so bad. I hated it. But now they are back and I am hoping to get back on the bandwagon.

So, let me begin my updating you. It has been OVER 2 months since Joe left. Yes, that means only 4 more to go. And I have to be honest and say WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE??? I truly feel like it was just yesterday when he left. Time has passed by quickly! We still keep in contact via e-mail everyday, which I love. Who ever invented the Internet/e-mail is a GENIUS! Seriously. Anyway, we have not spoke much on the phone as he is HARDLY ever in port. They are usually out to sea and so the phones never work. I do believe he will be pulling into a port pretty soon, don't know when exactly, but he will call me then. :) In the meantime I have been keeping busy with my workout regime. I am still working my BOOTY off, literally! LOL Not sure how much weight exactly, but then again I'm not really counting b/c I don't really care. I'm just doing it to look & feel better, and so I will know when I've reached that point. But my clothes are all fitting much better and that alone makes me happy. :)

Things here have been mostly quiet. I don't really do much most of the time. Me and my best friend still hang out everyday. Her husband is coming home TOMORROW from his 6 month deployment, and so she is overjoyed of course. :) Unfortunately, he is a Marine and will be deploying in March for about 9 months. I feel so sad for her as I know his homecoming is bittersweet. In only a month and a half it will be time for her to say goodbye, yet again. So I do what I can, try to be there for her as much as I can be. I am happy for her though to be able to spend this time with her husband.

Well, that's about it for now. Hopefully someone, somewhere still reads this blog! I will be by visiting all my favorite blogs too. :)
