My name is Sarahfae and I'm a Veggie-holic

Yesterday was a really weird and lame day.
I worked a couple hours over my normal time --- it's pretty interesting how sitting at a desk all day can drain the energy from you. Usually I get home from work a few minutes after 3pm and I am rearin' to get out and go for a run. Not yesterday. Those two extra hours completely drained the drive and life out of me. I went home, ate dinner, and sat on the couch with a book until it was time to go to bed. D was sweet and encouraging, when I whined to him about my being a lazy bum he said: "It's okay to be lazy sweetie. It's good to do every once in a while - and I like hanging out on the couch with you."  *love*
I knew what the outcome would be though...waking up this morning was difficult, and now I'm hating myself for not getting any "real" exercize yesterday. Not to mention I ate lots of yucky cooked food --- which seems to be having an increasingly adverse affect on my body as my daily intake of rawfood increases.

So yeah. I'm in a poopy mood, I have bad hair, and I want to go home and take a nap.

I've also been meaning to post pictures of food but haven't had much time since last weekend was SO pretty and warm, and we did a lot of out-doorsy stuff. But I did come up with a really great recipe for raw "oatmeal" style breakfast bars (totally protein packed!). They're really great, and have become my favorite new breakfast food. I promise to post them soon.

Cheers to a fast work day!

My first day of official unemployment....it's been great so far. If you call my cell I've been answering it:
"Thank you for calling the office of Sarahfae - officially unemployed. How can I help you?" 
Granted, I've got a couple of really awesome irons in the fire --- so I don't anticipate being in this position for long *fingers crossed*.
For the time being I plan on packing up our house in preparation for the big move (squee!!), doing about a thousand loads of laundry, cleaning, and making a ton of yummy food.
In addition, my personal goal is to do a lot of soul searching (says the Atheist) in the area of my education and musical aspirations. D keeps piping at me to write more music, mainly because I don't want to do another show until I've got a good amount of new material to play. With the help of my very good friend Deric, I'm hoping to record a solid ep sometime early next year.

I dropped off a bunch of Thank you cards to my co-workers this afternoon. That felt good. I love giving hand-written cards to people.

Amusing thoughts that are in my mind at the moment:

Lucy ate one of my pearl earrings. Yes, I'm watching all of her bm's to try and recover it. I know, it's gross.
One of the many things that we've learned about being owners of a dog that will chew on/eat ANYthing is to keep all small objects out of her reach. This includes: remotes, candles, pens and pencils, plastic bottle caps, plastic bottles, books and magazines, wireless cards, bluetooth devices, batteries, wine/champagne corks, headbands, tupperware, jewelry, dradles, and ear plugs. (The aforementioned are all things that Lucy has put in her mouth, if not destroyed or consumed.)

A certain husband of mine, who will remain nameless, admitted to liking "some"  chick-flicks. This occurred yesterday when said husband (who will still remain nameless) got caught watching "27 Dresses". I love this man so much!
 

The holidays have been lovely so far. 
Food, family, party after party, drinking, and much merriment. I'm sad to see the end of such a fun month - but excited about the change that January will bring.

Tomorrow D and I will head up to Brookings Oregon, where we'll ring in the new year with some much needed one-on-one time. We might venture out and attempt to find a dive, maybe meet some locals and play a game of pool. Either way I can't wait to be with my hubby and take a soak in the jakoozie tub. 

Looking back on this last year I can't believe the amount of change that's taken place in my life. Starting a very new and scary job, planning a wedding, becoming a wife, goodbyes and farewells, plenty of laughter and tears, lots of lessons learned, and stress to boot...
And now, at the close of 2007 there is fittingly a light at the end of a very very long and dark tunnel.
I've been struggling with my lack of happiness over the last six months, most of it related to work and friendships - but not wanting to throw the towel in on a very promising career, I pushed the square peg into the round hole, hoping the gaps would fill in over time. 
Of course, life always seems to have a way of bringing change when I don't think I'm ready for it - thankfully I usually know when to surrender.

2008 will be amazing. 2008 is going to be a healthy year. I am so excited to watch the sun set over Harris beach tomorrow night, and greet the New Year with a happy peaceful heart.

I'll be starting my new job in mid January, finally working for a company that gives back to the community. I'll have my own desk, my own office, my own co-workers, a lot more stability, and peace of mind. 

Now I'm off to price plane tickets, in hopes to afford a flight up to Spokane come the new year...otherwise maybe a road trip to Redding is due (Jenney??).

It's been nice catching up with you lj, 
*kisses*
