My Poor Neglected Blog

I promise I haven't forgotten about you, Mental Blog. I just haven't had anything crazy to comment about recently. As the end of the year winds down, it seems like I would be blogging about how the Mayans predict it will all end of December 21 (I don't believe it). It seems like I might have some sort of rant about how busy it is at the stores due to the holiday rush (I do all my shopping online). You might think I would go on and on about how awesome I am at work (well, that would just be bragging). But I'm not going to do that.

I realize that my last post was in September right before I was about to get my eye surgery. To report on that, I can say that everything went well.

If you don't mind looking dopey like this right afterwards

I'm sitting here typing my blog at a good distance from my monitor, and I'm not even squinting. I should have done this sooner, but "How am I going to pay for it?" was always a concern. Well, I'm paying for it...in a couple of years, these bad boys will be all mine. I hope the repo man doesn't come for them...

So, what has happened since my eye surgery? Well, I'm still on my weight loss journey. I've lost almost 60 lbs., so I'm quite proud of myself. I've been chronicling my journey on another blog (yeah, like I need another project). You can visit It Fits! to read all about the trials and tribulations associated with my lifestyle change.

Speaking of blogs, I have another one called Amateur Domestic where I post my recipes (nothing too exciting), my sewing projects (there will be more of these when I get my machine fixed or replaced) and other domestic things. Really, cooking and sewing seem to be the two domestic things I do most often, so that's all I have on there at the moment, although I would like to post more "Pet Care" posts at some point.

So, the biggest news that happened since September is that I'm getting married next April. And guess what? I have a blog about it (I know, hard to believe right). It was the easiest way for me to keep track of everything. I could have used Pinterest, but I don't think Pinterest would have allowed me to ramble on and on like a blog will.

Otherwise, that's about it. I still have the menagerie, and they are doing great. I've been living a very hermitized life that consists of sleep, work, run and eat. But that's life, and as long as I'm happy, it doesn't matter how boring it may seem to others.
