Okay.

So, I promised I would delve into the topics in the last post soon...and here I am! I try to keep up with my promises. Not always to myself, which is not good.

Anyways.

Hi. How are you?

I am tired. Last night I had the weirdest headache ever, it literally moved around my head, from behind my eyes to my temple, etc. So, we left a gathering early and I crashed at home.

I figured out my problem lately too. My problem has been lack of motivation, laziness, exhaustion, etc...I am trying to do things like losing weight, going to the gym, projects like I did when I was single. I have been thinking back to those single days and remembering how easy it seemed to be to do projects, go to the gym, etc...A little of it has something to do with the fact that I am 26 now and now 18 and 19 like those days. But, it's strange. I have to re-learn how to manage time with a husband in my life. And it's only taken me 2 1/2 years to figure out that is what I need to do! Geez, you think I would have thought about this before we got married. Ah well, at least i caught on eventually.

With this new insight, I am already starting to feel better. I can do something about it now I know what "it" is.

Tomorrow will be my second day to work at the vineyard. I am still excited, especially since I got my check in the mail. What? You mean I can learn about wine, share my passion for it AND get paid? Unbelievable. This is what it feels like to be doing what you love. I can't WAIT to be a winemaker. My hopes abound.

Okay. I am tired and Chris will be here soon to pick me up. I will write more soon! I promise!

Love,
Michelle

PS I have started a weight loss blog. Go to my profile, scroll down and you will see the link to it. It's not officially been updated yet. I think I will do it weekly instead of daily. I don't know, I am still working on the details.

Are you still there? I am here.

Wow. A LOT has gone on while I haven't been blogging.

Quick update:
1. Dropped school because I was working two jobs.
2. Chris got a job working at the meat department here at whole foods.
3. Michelle quits second PT job for her sanity.
4. Lala, Michelle's grandmother, suffers from strokes. Physically she is good, but slowly her mind is going.
5. Michelle decides that she definitely wants to be a winemaker, starts making plans with Chris on how to go about doing this...including a possibility of a move.
6. Michelle lands a once a week, contract job with a well-known Texas vineyard.
7. And finally, after all this, we are fine.

I will write more, I promise, when the clock isn't ticking away on my break.

Much love to all who do read this blog, thanks for being loyal readers.
Michelle
