On my way into work today I realized that yes I hated my old job A LOT, but the new job was just a quick fix... I hate the line of work I am in and feel as though I am wasting away my time and energy pointlessly...

I emailed R and said listen, we need a plan to get the F outta dodge cuz I can't stand this much longer and I know you can't either (since we both despise working) which is yet another thing we share - hatred for working for the man!

I got a quick and awesome reply from him that he was in. Sooo we are going to try to narrow down places. We have a list of about 8 places that we think might be ideal... As of right now we are going to try to open a doggie day care (when I first met R this was the first thing we talked about, each wanting to open a doggie day care) since we both think we could live with that decision.

He also emailed me the things he would want to offer and the selling points. Perfect! I agreed with most of them. I love it when a plan starts forming, it is what can turn a dream into reality, ya know? I am going to look at the business plan I made for my pet sitting business tonight to start the ACTUAL planning process... :0)

I know I will be stuck here for a year or two more, and that's ok, but to know that soon we will be working for ourselves & working with DAWGS all day - well - wow! I am excited. It's not going to be easy by any stretch, but why not bust your ass for yourself instead of countless others, right?

Dare to dream.

In other news, I joined a "weight loss" challenge here at work in January, and since I joined I had gained weight since I started! But last week I lost 2.5 pounds - I actually made the list of the top 3 for pounds lost that week! How cool is that? Although I am really scared today to weigh in since I ate like I had never eaten before in my life this weekend. I enjoyed every second of it but I really might regret it when the scale starts talking...

I just realized that our cruise is about a month away. Not bad! Bahama's here we come!!! :0)
