I went back to work last week after being off for eleven and a half days, and it was brutal! To make matters worse, four of my coworkers retired on 12/31/16 and now it's just too quiet. I just sit at my desk and yawn my head off all day. I hope the rest of us can adjust and maybe we will get more work done, or fall asleep! Haha! It's really cold here too. The high was 18 degrees today and tomorrow is supposed to be colder. I just want to hibernate and watch Netflix, but I'm making myself stick to my yoga every day routine even though I am stiff and sore. I'm doing a 31 day yoga revolution by yoga with Adriene on YouTube and so far she's been changing it up every day. Her teaching style is really close to my actual yoga studio teachers which is pretty cool. Next week I'm starting back to the studio for a class on Monday's with one of my friends and I am really looking forward to going back. I haven't been to an actual class since August.
I read through the information about the LIvejournal issues and I am keeping my LJ, but I made a Dreamwidth account and imported my journal over there just as a precaution. I just couldn't risk losing 14 years of some of my happiest life moments, and I appreciate the heads up from everyone!! It's under my same username
amoonchilde, so I hope to see you all over there too!

In like a lion...going through menopause!
Mar. 2nd, 2016 08:57 pmOnly two days into this new month of March and it's been 65 degrees and rain and 35 degrees and snow! Hopefully Mother Nature will get her hormones leveled out soon! It's crazy! Other than the weather I've had a pretty good week so far. I've been to yoga class two days in a row and planning on going tomorrow too and last night I actually slept decent for the first time in a long time.
I hope this is a trend that stays with me for a while!

Weekend fun!
Feb. 23rd, 2016 10:07 pmI had a great time this past weekend! Saturday, Kaitlin's ceramics class at the University Art Warehouse was sponsoring Empty Bowls. You can go and make bowls on the pottery wheel and then they fire them and glaze them and in April they will be on sale and all the proceeds go to the Food Bank. I made 2 bowls and it was so much fun, and way harder than I ever imagined! Kaitlin is really in her element there and it's amazing watching her! She makes me so proud and I still can't believe she's 20 and a junior in college. Time really does fly by.
So this is me and my first ever bowl! Lol!

Sunday, I did nothing but sleep late and read fanfic! It was wonderful! Oh, and yoga! I have been doing yoga everyday for at least 30 minutes since last Wednesday! I'm starting to get back in my groove, and feeling pretty good.
I also took my glasses and had the eye doc check them since I couldn't see a bloody thing out of the progressive bifocal and they were way off! I now have new lenses and they are awesome, and most importantly...I can see!!

Valentine's Day and not so fun plans
Feb. 14th, 2016 09:05 amMy Uncle passed away, my Dad's oldest sister's husband, and we went to the visitation last night. They were married for 61 years, and I feel so bad for my Aunt and cousins. The funeral is today so I guess I'll be spending Valentine's Day or a big part of it there. :( Kaitlin and I are meeting Dad for lunch then we are all going together. It's 5 degrees out right now and I so don't want to wear dress shoes, fur boots are sounding great right now and they may end up winning in the end.
On a lighter note, I'm making my husband heart shaped bacon and biscuits for his Valentine's Day breakfast! Haha! I saw it on Pinterest and thought it would be funny, we shall see.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! I hope you all have a loverly day with chocolate on top! 💕
*HUGS*

It's been really cold this week! I feel frozen down to my bones, which of course means I slacked on going to yoga class this week. I've stayed somewhat motivated though, and next week it's supposed to warm up to 40's, so yay! I picked up my new glasses yesterday and I am loving them for the distance and while I'm on my computer at work, but while using my iPhone and iPad...not so much. Ugh! I just have terrible luck with bifocals. I know I have to give them a few days to get used to them, but half the time my iPad looks bigger at the top than the bottom. I feel like Alice through the looking glass, everything's all wonky!
I'm off work tomorrow afternoon and Monday and I have big plans to get a bunch of stuff done around the house this weekend, and cook. We've been eating out way too much lately. I'm thinking a roast and lots of veggies.

So my big plans of working around the house was a total FAIL. I'm blaming my husband. Haha! He wanted to go to Chili's for and early lunch and we ended up drinking margaritas, then as soon as we got home I took a two hour nap and ruined my whole afternoon! Me and drinking...unmixy things! Next weekend is a three day weekend for me because we are off on Presidents Day, and I'm just going to hold off on my to do list until then. I had good intentions...really I did!😜
Thank Goddess it's Friday
Feb. 5th, 2016 10:41 pmToday was a good day, mostly because I took the afternoon off from work.😜 Also, the sun was shining which is always a plus, and I got to hang with my daughter for a little while! I was somewhat productive because I went to my eye exam and picked out new glasses. Yay! My eyes have been bothering me and I thought it was from reading so much lately, and that probably has contributed to the problem, but I really did need a new prescription. Glasses are so freaking expensive, even with insurance! I just about fell out of my chair. Lol!
I think I'm finally coming out of the funk I've been in lately. Going back to yoga classes has really helped and I'm feeling more motivated to get some things done around the house that I have been putting off. I need to go through every room of my house and get rid of everything we don't need or use. We've lived here for 22 years and we just have too much stuff. Tomorrow I'm going to start tackling that list and my husband is going to help even if he doesn't know it yet! 😁

I did it...
Feb. 3rd, 2016 10:31 pmI got off my lazy butt today and took two yoga classes tonight at my favorite studio with my favorite teacher Gina. She's great, and probably the most genuine person I've ever met. She's kinda hippieish and such a free spirit and I have missed her these past couple of months. Her classes were just what I needed and I feel so much better!
Here's hoping for a good nights sleep.

Groundhog says...
Feb. 2nd, 2016 10:43 amHappy Groundhog Day!! They say he didn't see his shadow so we should have an early spring! Omigoddess I hope so! I have been so terribly unmotivated this winter. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed my stay in Slugdom reading copious amounts of Fanfiction and watching Netflix, but now I need to snap out of it! I'm going back to yoga classes starting tomorrow, limiting my reading time in the evenings after work, and getting back into my weekly routine. I haven't been sleeping well, probably because I've been reading on my iPad too late at night, and my eyes have been bothering me, so I've turned the brightness down and even changed the background to sepia on the reader view, but it only helps a little. I'm hoping cutting back in the evening will help with both my sleeping and my eye issues, or maybe I just need new glasses. Lol! It really bites getting older! :P
Wishing my f-list a lovely day!

Quite entertaining ...
Jan. 25th, 2016 10:37 pmTelevision was quite entertaining tonight! X-Files and Lucifer. I must say Lucifer was pretty funny for the first episode and he's a pretty handsome devil! *snort* He has that snarky attitude like Spike and the accent! My husband says I'm smitten! Hahaha! We shall see. Anything that makes me look forward to a Monday rates high on my list right now! :D
Happy Birthday
slaymesoftly! I hope you had a lovely day!

Snowmageddon 2016
Jan. 23rd, 2016 03:15 pmWell it snowed...and snowed and snowed some more! I think we have about 15 inches so far. It's so beautiful, and I'm just glad I don't have to go anywhere today! I'm going to cook some chili for dinner and stay in my pajamas all day!
Daisy May loves the snow! She will be worn out by tonight! Lol!
Have a safe and relaxing weekend everyone!

Not much has been going on lately other than being cold! And boy has it been cold! It was a whopping 8 degrees this morning, and expecting snow on Friday. Ugh, I'm still so unmotivated and this will only make it worse. I just want to sleep until spring! Lol!
Anywho...Today is Buffy's birthday and it's a Tuesday, that's just asking for trouble! Haha!
So, Happy Birthday Buffy Anne Summers! You are still my hero! Slay on sister!:P

Thirteen years ago today...
Jan. 12th, 2016 12:48 pmI created my livejournal! Wow! It's hard to believe it's been that long! So many memories! I've met some awesome peeps on here and I've had loads of fun! I'm so happy I decided to come back and start posting again. Some things have changed, but my fandom is alive and kicking!
Shout out to all the fanfic writers who are still making this world a better place! :D
