Please pass the tissue ... why am I so emotional?

I am weigh over (pun intended) due for posting but every time I sit down to do such, I become incredibly emotional ... 

First, off I can't believe the kindness that is always overflowing from this awesome BOOB community.  JRD (http://canuckbanditmusings.blogspot.com/), Ronnie (http://bandumentary.blogspot.com/) and Robyn (http://robynnest-robyn.blogspot.com/) all nominated me for this super-sweet award and all had such nice things to say about me that (again) I started crying.  I remember when I first blogging - Robyn nominated me for a Blog Award - the Adorable Blog Award and I didn't even know what to do.  Still don't but just know that I am humbly touched my the three of you AND the (I cant' believe it) 73 other followers I have.  OMG - thank you and pleasepleaseplease if I am not following you - just let me know !

Secondly, the return to work has been a disaster.  I have updated my resume, sent it off to a few places and am just going to keep plugging away until I have something ... anything would be better so my expectation is pretty low. In fact, when new-boss asked me about carpooling (is it the money or don't you know how to drive?) I responded: it's the money and if I could find a job closer to home I would take it.  That sailed right over her head.

Third, I lost 1.2 lbs from Thr to Thr (happy 8 week bandiversary JRD !!) - the lowest amount ever.  Not complaining - just stating the fact that I wake up every day with a pit in my stomach and the stress hormone cortisol is going like gang-busters.  I was going to go swim today (at a drop in place for $10) but I decided to work on the job stuff instead.  

Lastly, we can wear jeans on Friday.  A g-friend gave me some 18s last year that I've been waiting to get into.  Wore a pair of Liz & Co 18 W Stretch Jeans and by the end of the day, I could take them off without unzipping them.  Oh, if only all jeans were like that.  Hips, bun and thighs are my biggest problem so I'll probably take these to get altered.  Hey, I'll take the NSV any place I can get it.  Note, I have a pair of size 20 jeans that I cannot even breathe while wearing. 

I need to find a way to blog and read at work.  Now THAT would make the 7am-7pm routine bearable :)
