Hey All!  It's me, Suzabbe... it's only been 41 days since I was here! :lol:  Hope you all remeber who I am. Seems like an eternity.  I've been working now at my new job for 6 weeks, tomorrow starts the seventh, and it's awesome!  Mostly the unbelievably LARGER pay check is awesome, but the job ain't that bad either! ;-)  I haven't tried to attain the goals I set forth here a while back... but I've met some... surprisingly.

A few goals were to finish games and books I've had outstanding, budget to pay off some debt, improve my social-life, lose weight, get healthier, and in general just try and improve those things I have control over.

The beginning of this change was cutting ties with my former employer... man it's sooooooo good to not work there anymore!  Yeah, I got to wear jeans, tees and sneaks everyday there... but now that I can afford decent clothes it feels good actually dressing up for work everyday.  I got my first pay check and thought there had been a mistake, lol, luckily there hadn't been! :)  I've played a little games lately, but nothing has been finished (Resident Evil 3, Spellforce, Hunter: The Rekoning etc).  I also have read about 3 pages of another book... not making that goal for sure!

I've been going out more and having fun doing things I haven't done in forever... like bowling... wow why didn't I do this earlier?!  I've lost 12 pounds! :D  Which is fantastic and has me wanting to actually TRY to lose more... don't worry... no anorexia fears here people! :P  I've been trying to be social with the not-so-social IT dept I'm working in now... but have found HR and Corporate Services the place to hang.

All in all things are looking bright and I'm happy with the way I've been feeling.  I want to squeeze in some more game time before the end of the year... not sure if I'll have the time though.

Anywho, just wanted to check in and let everyone know that I hadn't died! :lol:
