It's almost May Day!

Tomorrow morning my sister and bro in law are having their moving away party. It should be fun, but it's going to be hard to see them go. I am glad they are finally doing what they want to do though.
It's been almost a month since I last posted. Let's see what has happened since then:
Easter was fun. I went to my moms and spent time with her and my sister and niece. Chelsea (my niece) is so freaking cute and we did some egg hunting.



Chelsea's 2nd birthday party was fun too. It was so cute, we got there and the first thing I do is pick Chelsea up and she puts her head on my shoulder and tried to go to sleep. So cute! I think she had enough already and her party was just starting. There were tons of kids running around all over the place and I think she was just pooped. Erik and I got her a tricycle that was supposed to be a surprise, but one of the other kids rode it into the room while she was opening gifts and ruined the surprise. grr. Anyway, she likes it so thats good enough for us. She was so cute!!!

I started selling stuff on ebay. Doing pretty good so far. The post office lost one of my packages so I had to eat 30 dollars worth the merch, but its ok, I will make up for it somehow. I am selling alot of my costumes and corsets. my ebay name is Marawiggles if you want to check my page out.

So I started a new job last monday and it went really great. I liked the company alot. Nothing like my last job. I get home, run errands and get things shipped from ebay. While I am at AIM mail center, I get a call that I have been waiting for for months now. Its a guy who wanted to offer me a position with an escrow company in Newport Beach. He had been having me dangle by a thread all this time. I told him that I had accepted a position. he asked what and how much I am making. He offered me way more money!!! I called Erik and discussed it, and I have decided to accept his position. I am so scared though!! FREAKING OUT!! I feel really bad about this company I left, but I got to do what I got to do. So I start this coming monday. I am excited for the money, though I am scared cause I am back in the Real Estate market. I havent had the best luck in that market. Been laid off too many times.
Best of luck to me. I should be sleeping so I can get up and do the damn yard sale again in the morning. My mom has until May 20th to be out of my Gpas house before the bank takes it, or she gets an offer to buy it. Hopefully the later happens.

Realizations

We are in over our head. In all reality, I (Damara), am in over my head. After having done yard sales at my Gramps' house almost every weekend for the past month and a half, I have realized my Gramps was a hoarder. I also realized that I dont want to have to deal with me becoming that way. I realized that I was holding on to useless stuff that I dont use anymore. Purses, sports stuff, jewelry, textbooks, knicknacks, shoes: time to go! I have about two boxes of my stuff alone to add to the yard sale for next week. Its kind of refreshing to purge like this so hopefully I wont become something like a hoarder.
Our fridge pretty much died. It had stopped getting cold and so after our food going bad and us freaking out for about a week or two, we had someone come and fix it. Turns out our model of fridge has the tendency to leak freeon very slowly and will run out about every three years. Yay! <---- notice the sarcasm here. So, we paid 225.oo to have the freeon refilled and will definitely be replacing our fridge sometime before the three years is up. This is just ridiculous. I am glad I was given the fridge and didnt pay for it. I think I might be outraged if so! We did NOT have the money to pay for that, so we are definitely broker than ever!
Living in HB is getting harder and harder to rationalize. We are looking for a new place again. We should have moved into that place in anaheim when we had the chance. Figures, huh? We might be looking into a two bedroom and trying to get a roommate to save even more and pay off some of my credit bills. I have a horrible shopping habit that I need to kick.
Anyone looking to move? Wanna be roommates with me and my hubby?
I have been going to the gym and have lost three lbs! I have adopted a new way of thinking about my food and meals. Instead of eating three meals because I thought I was supposed to, I am now only eating to sustain my energy. Small little meals throughout the day, and I am trying to pay attention to my calorie intake. So far it seems to be working. In fact, I am hungry now. Time for a snack. I might hit up the gym tonight, too.
I think this is it for now. Peace out folks. Happy Easter and I hope your day is spent well with family.
