A weird discovery came to me the other day. I know they have "period panties" out there for women. Most of them unstylish and looking about as unattractive as you feel. However, I'd like to point out that these "period panties" are absolutely awesome. For instance one particular design had my mom rolling as I always refer to my menstrual cycle as "shark week" and sure enough, there is a "shark week" themed pair of panties. (Yes, I did get them, in case you're inquiring.) And it's a good cause, so it's practically a win-win. Also, grumpy cat, come on. Definite fun for practically any generation.I got the acceptance letter for my new job (I don't start until March 10th, sigh. I'm so bored) and apparently I needed my immunization history/records. What? So I managed to call the health department and get a hold of them so I can bring them with me. I also learned that apparently every job is going to ask for these records now as a new law. I don't know if this goes for every state in the U.S. or just mine, or just how spot on this information actually was. But it must be very new, because my previous job did not ask for any of said info and I worked there only a year and a half ago. But it's something to keep in mind just in case, to keep my records in a good place from now on (because I'm sometimes horribly organized.) And yeah. "That's my poop" as my gramma always used to say.
Blubber.

weight loss

I don't skinny dip, I chunky dunk.As far as weight goes, I'm not obese. I'm not fat. I'm just chubby. I'm a mom, and when I lost my previous job I was unemployed for 3 months. Now, that's not the longest amount of time but when it's winter and cold out and all you basically do is sit on your butt all day, you're naturally prone to weight gain. I didn't gain a whole lot, but I can tell I've gained some. And the job I have now is sitting down in an office most of the day. I've always had issues with weight. The last time I was a healthy weight was 9th grade. 10 years ago. Since then it's been up and down. And unfortunately I haven't found a way to absolutely love working out like some do. I wish I did. I wish it were enjoyable and easy for me to get into it, but it's just not. Cardio itself an be a pain for me because I have mild asthma that acts up if I do too much extensive stuff.
When it's warm out, I walk a lot. And I have an app on my ipad specifically targeting women's bodies to help get in shape as well. Plus the supplements, I'm hoping to at least lose 5 pounds. A small goal, but easy enough to reach. It'd be great to manage something like that before David comes to visit.
It's been a lot for me to love myself as I am as far as appearance. I focus too critically on the smallest details. I've come a long way and am able to be comfortable with myself for the most part. Just don't ask me to strut a bikini. Even to get back down to the weight I had when I was at my old job would be great. It wasn't super skinny, but it was certainly something I was comfortable and happy with. That was about 10 or so pounds ago. SO. Here goes nothing? Day two and so far... Too soon to tell a difference, haha. But we'll see where I'm at next Thursday. I do notice getting full a little faster, and no hunger for snacks throughout the day. Always a plus, even without weight loss.

What if soy milk was just regular milk introducing itself in Spanish?
On an unrelated note, My name is Cassie. I turn 25 in March.. I like doing digital artwork and photography as side hobbies. I also role play on a story with a fellow talented art buddy with our two characters for fun. I've recently gotten a new job opportunity in Medical Billing in which I found myself very lucky to have snagged having no degree/schooling or prior experience, simply because I managed to impress them. I'm actually quite excited about this. I dig driving to nowhere. Because it soothes me and I always love an excuse to listen to music. I'm generally an optimistic, happy go lucky kind of person. I'm not fascinating, I'm just your average everyday person bored enough to do a blog.
I currently have a boyfriend, out of a rather unexpected, unintentional romance. His name is David, and I have a separate blog dedicated to tracking that odd yet fun adventure between us, if you ever care to read it.
I also have a 1 year old son named Graysen. He's practically the light of my world. Being a single mom is no simple task, but it's worth it, and I'm proud of our accomplishments. I also have a separate blog all about Graysen and tracking his progress as he learns and grows. For any mommies out there, feel free to share your little ones, or what have you :)
This is more of just an introductory. This particular blog is just about me and my own life and shenanigans. I don't promise to be entertaining, and it's really more for my own benefit. It's not a "let's get readers and people to respond to me all the time" kind of thing. But feel free to stick around if you like.
