Today I was terminated from my job. What the hell does that mean, anyway. Sounds like a bug that got extinguished. Either way, that bug is me.

I guess I had been expecting it for a while. They weren't thrilled with my performance. Last review I was somewhat demoted and placed on probation for 3 months. Three months came and went and nothing. Then three more months came and went and I went away for work for two weeks and right after coming home, I received an ominous meeting invite and two days to sit and worry about what was going to happen to me.

And I went in to meet my boss and was delivered the bad news. And so this is the end of the line.

What am I going to do? Breathe a sigh of relief. And then I'm going to look for another job.

I don't think it's quite sunken in, yet. I'll let you know when it does.

Was checking out my referral logs and just found out that my shopping blog, A Girl Must Shop is a featured link on iVillage today!Check it out!

Where was I? I can’t remember. So here’s what’s been going on…

My wonderful Jimbo recently gifted me personal training sessions and my first was on Monday. I can’t tell you how nervous I was. I only had one prerequisite for a personal trainer – they have to be nice. She is, thank goodness.

She’s not easy, though. Not that I’m looking for easy. I don’t mind kicking my ass. My real problem is motivation. And if Jimbo’s plunking down his hard-earned cash and I have an appointment, that’s certainly motivation enough for me. More than say, fitting into my wedding dress.

Yesterday and today my arms were sore, but a good sore to let me know I’m doing good. I’m just back from my 2nd session and we did legs. I found out that my quads are weak, but my thighs and calves can hold their own. And I have very good form while doing crunches. I have to tell you, the hour goes by so quickly.

I can feel good about going to Weight Watcher’s tonight, now. I don’t give a rat’s arse if I gain. I know I’m kicking ash.

In other news, I found out that my former dog (he lived with my ex-boyfriend for the pas six years) passed away last night. So sad. Here’s a picture of him and I from back in the day. He is the reason that I love dogs.
