Hello wonderful persons on my flist!  I have been away from the internet recently and I wanted to dedicate this post to several wonderful people.

First of all, I hate the fact that I missed your birthday, especially since I've fangirled you for sooooo long.  Happy Belated Birthday to the beautiful   ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday!

I hope you are soon able to enjoy cold beer, a hot (yet considerate and well-endowed) guy, and a huge financial windfall.

I was home with Jefferson yesterday.  He was sick with another throat infection.  He's back at daycare today, but I'm just waiting for the inevitable phone call...  He was funny at the clinic yesterday, he was perfectly happy until they had me put him on the scale, then he threw a fit and cried.  See, he DOES take after me; that's exactly what I do ( Read more... )

So maybe I'm a little bit girly.

Help!  I need someone to talk me down.  Here I am, a tomboy with little more than jeans and t-shirts, and I have been bewitched by these shoes.  I have been picturing myself wearing these for weeks.  I don't know what I would wear them with, I own nothing worthy of 4" heels, but now they are 20% off and I really can' ( Read more... )

I'm still here, I haven't dropped off of the face of the earth. I've been tremendously busy, and I've had an awful case of tonsillitis and a miserable cold. I even called in sick to work yesterday! (For me that's a mega-rare occurrence ( Read more... )

I'm in the middle of a super busy weekend and on top of everything else, I'm attempting to read and review every challenge submission. I'm doing this in posting order, so if I don't get to yours for a while, I just want to tell you all now that you, on my flist, are all amazingly talented writers and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will ( Read more... )

I do, I bet on  the big game!  Jefferson was feeling better and I was able to come in to work today.  (Although I do get the worst mother of the year award because I made Josephine walk to school, not realizing it was  -5.  At least it's only about 3 blocks and she was properly dressed.)  Once I got in and caught up on all of the work I had piled ( Read more... )

In the past 13 hours, I have been puked on and pooped on.  Jefferson has a stomach bug and I'm home changing countless diapers and doing laundry.  He's miserable, he's not eating, and he's a poop machine.  All he wants to drink is Sprite. We are out of Pedialyte and Gatorade otherwise I would never have given him pop (I hoped it would settle his ( Read more... )

My step-cousin's house burned down yesterday. Nathan and Nicki had just bougt a big house in my home-town. They were moving to Bloomfield to be closer to our grandma (well, my step-grandma, but she's the only one I have left and she's been a part of my life since I was 4) despite the fact that they both work 20 miles away. They had just gotten all ( Read more... )

When Jeff started his new job right after Thanksgiving, he told me that he thought he could make a career for himself in that type of work.  His goal was to work his way into the Quality Assurance department over time.  He felt that the QA department was where he would have the most growth and compensation.  He felt that it would take time and ( Read more... )
