Guess who's back.. Again!
Wow, it's been such a long time. I really have missed this place, and being in touch with so many people on here. I've been sooo busy with life that I just forgot about DA. I know, bad me. So, here are some updates.
School has started. I'm still continuing on my track to become a music teacher. I love every second of it. This semester I'm taking sociology, philosophy, music history, and applied piano. That's 12 credits! So I'm going to school full time and with that, I have to have 14 private piano lessons for my piano class. What a handful =]
I'm also a dog bather at PetSmart. I work about 20-24 hours a week. I started working there in July, and I'm so happy I got hired. It's such a privilege to work with the people I do. Plus the dogs are so very cute. =]
As I'm sure some of you know, I have two dogs and two hamsters. Dufus, Lucky, Charles, and Fitzwilliam. But just recently I've had an addition to the family. Late August I invested in a white female parakeet. I've named her Miss Bennet, continuing my trend of Jane Austen themed pets. So, I'm sure as I start making her feel more comfortable at home, you can expect a few pictures of her.
And now for the last update. My project. It is my goal to loose roughly around 70-90 pounds by next fall. It's going to be called "Beating Addiction". Every month I will post a picture of myself, showing my progress. A lot of people in the US suffer with obesity, me included. Right now I weigh in at 210 pounds. That's pretty bad for a girl who stands at 5'2. So not only is this motivation for me to really stick to this, but hopefully it'll give someone else motivation too. Food really can be an addiction.
Lets keep the optimism flowing! Until next time,
Kristine
