{ETA – just got an idea for a new blog post – will write all about it tonight when I get home from work!  Gosh I love it when an idea forms!! }

I’ve been wracking my brains to try and find something to write about here at Willo’s Web that might interest the three regular readers that still check the blog – and for the life of me I can’t come up with a darn thing.  Life has set into a normal routine – and there’s just not too much going on.

I did get a small promotion at work – I’m now a Part-Time Key Lead – which is one step below Assistant Manager at the shop – so it’s one step up the ladder to reach my ultimate goal.  It comes with a minimal pay increase – but more hours.  I think this will really test the limits of my knee injury and tell me if working retail full-time will be beneficial.

I finally got the courage to speak to my dentist about straightening my bottom teeth.  I’ve seen this new invisialign process that seems to work really well – did my research – and am moving forward with it.  I had to pay for it all myself since I have CRAPPY HIPPA insurance that PAYS NOTHING.  But I had some saved up and decided to do it.  I’ll have to wear the clear bracket for a year – switching them out every two weeks – to slowly realign the teeth.  The scary part is they have to do a little filing between my teeth to make room for the shifting.  Seriously – that scare the living bejeezus out of me and I don’t want to think about it.

I’ve been thinking a lot about traveling – I even sent away for a Disney Vacations brochure – and the wanderlust is setting in.  I’d love to head over to Ireland and Scotland, a trip to Australia, or even just another weekend up in Asheville.  But that will all have to wait till I find someone to travel with – it’s just not safe to go these places alone at my age.  Besides – it wouldn’t be that much fun if there wasn’t someone to share the experience with.

I still miss Jim on a daily basis – but I have to start living my life.  It’s time.
