April is upon us! The month of spring, sunshine, change, and hopefully ANSWERS.

It has been a rough couple of weeks for me, and the word "rough" is a nice description. I got very sick after I got back from Irvine and was is a fog of hacking, flem, and migraines for about 2 weeks. I finally started feeling better, and tried to get back into my workout routine, but something didn't feel right. After much nagging from my mother I finally booked an appointment with the doctor to get a physical and the OK to go. Well, that wasn't exactly what happened. As many of you know, my junior year in college I got a bad case a Vally Fever, and went through experimental medication which seemed to clear up my symptoms, yet the fungal infection still left nodules on my lungs. The doctor did some chest x-rays just to be thorough and saw those stupid little free-loaders on my lungs. Which lead to this statement "Well, it looks like what I heard, when listening to your chest, is what i thought. Those nodules are still there, and probably always will be. The good thing is, they wont cause any issue, unless you continue to push yourself physically. If you continue with this training, you run the risk of over extending your body and rupturing the nodules, and this could result in emergency surgery. You need to knock it off." JUST GREAT! This is just what I needed, for my body to physically not let me do the one thing that I was so excited about. Just Grrreeaatttt body! Remind me to thank you later.

So after hearing this, I drove to the beach, with my sunroof open, windows down, music blaring, and threw myself a little pitty party. My pitty party however, is by invitation only, so that is why I have taken so long to tell ya'll about it. I am disappointed. In myself, in the situation, and in my stupid lungs.

Thank you all for your support, and help, and for donating to a wonderful cause. The LLS told me they would still count any fundraising money I made towards a future event if I wanted to do a hike, or a walking event, so hopefully this is just on hold.

News on the work-front. I have officially moved stores. I am now about .2 miles away from my house, in a brand new "evolution" store, complete with shinny new computers, hardwood floors, and a position as a sales rep! So far, so good. I am adjusting the sales mindset, and trying to be as aggressive as I can be. Its hard to be cut-throat when you are wearing a pink cardigan and pearls, but I like being THAT girl. Everyone sees me as the sweet blond girl that is nice and a team player... and then BAM, take a look at my numbers SUCKERS, eat your hearts out!

Yet, I have only been in this position for 4 days... ha ha, so we will see how much talk I can talk come month end. I cant walk the walk yet, but I can sure as hell skip!

So our lease is officially up on June 13th. Which is a Sunday, conveniently the Sunday that we have already booked our trip to Seattle for Christie's graduation. This means, that it is time to get the ball rolling. We have officially 7 weeks to figure out:

1. ARE WE STAYING IN CALI, OR MOVING BACK TO AZ?
2. IF WE STAY IN CALI, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO LIVE?
3. IF WE STAY IN CALI, AND WE GET A NEW APARTMENT, CAN I BRING MYSELF TO SIGN THE PAPER FOR ANOTHER YEAR LEASE?
4. IF WE MOVE BACK TO AZ, WHERE ARE WE GOING TO WORK?
5. IF WE STAY IN CALI, ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH OUR CURRENT JOBS?
6. (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY) IF, AND WHEN AM I GETTING A GOLDEN?

This is just the short list! I wish i could just shut off my mind, or just be a man for a second, but i can't. I always have been, and always will be, a planner. I want to be prepared for each situation, and have all my little ducks in a row. However, on this particular juncture, i unfortunately/or fortunately, depending on your optimism level, have to let some of this stuff go, and leave it up to "what is supposed to happen, will happen" and all that other nonsense that men say to make women stop freaking out!

So say a little prayer for me and the Rickster, may the big man upstairs guide us in the direction we need to be.

I hope you all had a great Easter, and are enjoying the beautiful weather!
