| Harry Potter... |
[29 Feb 2008|12:53pm] |
I've been watching some various Harry Potter & The 1/2 Blooded Prince media on You Tube... Gosh, I can't wait for that movie to come out! I don't think I've anticipated a movie so much since The X-Files back in '99!
My friend from work let me borrow all 7 Harry Potter books and I seriously finished them within 2 weeks. I felt so disappointed when I was done reading them... they're so good and it was such an interesting way to pass the time! Now I've moved on to the movies... I love 'em all.
Was that enough Harry Potter rambling to bore you out of your skull?? I'm sorry.
So... there is quite a bit of drama at work. Its a long, long, long story but the end result is that as of Tuesday I might be employed by another (actually a competitor!) restaurant! My manager, who is a very awesome woman, got sick of all the sexism, drama, and problems at our work and said Tuesday is her last day, and she's taking 6 of us with her on Tuesday and the rest in the next couple of weeks. I think I'm one of those 6, and I'm very excited.
I'm on my way to eat at Dennys right now... (hint, hint: Dennys = possible place of future employment!) Yummy!!!

Yup. Its me. Posting for the first time in a year. Almost exactly a year, I think!
What's new about me?
*No more Werner Enterprises. I gave up my desk job, spent the summer in Mexico with the girls, and now work as a waitress a couple nights a week. I love it most nights, and make really good money.
*We're having our church marriage ceremony March 29th!! That means big dress, hall, DJ, beer, everything! I'm excited yet nervous.
*I've been going to RCIA classes all fall/winter to become an official member of the Catholic church.
*No more kids yet... soon, though, hopefully!
I love all of you guys and hope a few of you remember me!!

Yesterday, Baltazar's baby girl died. They don't know what she died from... They're still guessing leukemia, but I don't believe that diagnosis. Its depressing to think about. Poor baby girl.
That's really all I have to update on... Things are going pretty good around here.

Ahh... working a 1/2 day has got to be the greatest thing in the world next to having the day off. I feel really guilty though, since I dropped the girls off with Jose's Mom this morning. I thought I was just going to come home, change, and go on to work. But since I had already told my boss that I wasn't going in until 12:30, I felt really, really lazy once I got back to the apartment.
I want to go get the girls... I might just get ready and go spend the next hour or so over there. Sounds like a pretty good plan!
Izzy has been getting on my nerves SO BAD lately. I love her so much, but she can be soooooooooo annoying sometimes! I just have to keep reminding myself that she's only three!!! Last night I took a jewelry box away from her, and then Jose started complaining about it (Why don't you keep it out of her reach? She doesn't understand its just a toy? How many times do I have to tell you? Don't take it away from her! Blah blah blah...) and I THREW IT! How HORRIBLE is that!? I feel so bad... And she ran over to it, hugged it, and put it in her toybox. That just makes me SOOOOOOO sad. I'm crying remembering... I mean, she put the damned thing in her toybox so I wouldn't yell at her about playing with it anymore. Oh... I feel so terrible. But I just get sick of telling her not to do something a bazillion trillion times. Or asking her to DO something all day long. I know, I know... she's only three. =( I guess I'm just a little stressed out. I needed to get that off my chest. Man, when I started writing about it I didn't think I'd end up bawling, though!
I'm trying to be patient. Patience has never been a strong point of mine... Jose has always said that I go from fine to freaked out about something in a matter of seconds. He used to always tell me to count to ten. I'm going to have to take that advice. Count to ten... Just slow myself down, take a deep breath, and count to ten.
Poor Izzy... =( I want to go squeeze her and hug her. And give her that damned jewelry box! LoL.
Well... This has sure turned into a downer of an entry. What else can I talk about that's not so depressing...
I just got done watching "Mean Girls"... I've seen that movie so many times and I don't get sick of it! It's SOOOO true! LoL. It makes me laugh a ton, too... "Are we still in a fight?"
"Well, are you still an asshole...?"
That's wonderful! =D
We sold my car. My beloved Chevy Cavalier has been sold. Sad for me! LoL. I *was* pretty sick of that damned car. It smelled funny (My compadre said it smelled like feet! LOL, ewwww) and the heat wasn't working. I was sick of arriving at work like a popsicle! The truck is sooooo much warmer and easier on the eyes! ;) The other day we were driving down L Street and Johanna was driving the opposite direction. Adriana was with her, so she turned to Adriana and said, "Damn, look at those awesome rims on that truck!" And Adriana told her, "Whoa, that's Liz and Jose!" LoL! That made me happy... :)
Selling the car will sure help us catch up, though!!!! Moving, buying the truck, Jose not working for a few months took a HUGE toll on our budget! The tax money disappeared as fast as a brick in quicksand. And we didn't even waste it like I had daydreamed about! LoL. Thinking about money (more like the lack of it!) depresses me SO much. I mean, other problems you can do something about. Money problems aren't as easy to fix! What are you going to do... rob a bank?! I don't think so.
I get paid three times this month. Woot! I'm so happy. One of those checks will be deduction free, too!!! No health, dental, vision, OR 125 plan! YAY! I can't wait to get that check...
About two weeks ago I bought more underwear at Victoria Secrets. Did I mention that...? I'm so addicted to that underwear. Isn't that crazy?! LoL. But its soooooooooooooooo much more comfy and sexy than my Hanes Her Way panties! LOL, Jose was forever making fun of my Hanes. =)
Maybe with my last check this month I'll buy a bra... That's a lot of dollars, though!!! I bet they're so comfortable, though! We'll see.
Jose just called me, and asked what I was doing. Heee heee.... He thought I was at work!
Bye!!! =)

I had cereal, animal crackers, and a slice of cheese for breakfast. Mmm... LoL, hopefully that will tide me over until lunch! I did very well not snacking like crazy yesterday at work, but then on the way home I bought a candy bar! LoL. Damn, at least I tried. :)
I made pork chops for dinner last night. They were so damned good. I amaze myself more and more each day! =D I tried eating pork chops differently last night, though. Instead of dipping them into ketchup like normal, I put them on a tortilla with some salsa and a few slices of avocado... Mmm. It makes my mouth watering just thinking about it!
I want to stop at QT on the way to work and get a frozen cappuccino. I better hurry this entry up and brush my hair if I plan on getting there in time!
La la la la la...
Jose's brother's daughter is doing a little better. She was released from the hospital, but she's back in there now. She's been hospitalized for over three weeks this time. Balta says he wishes they would just tell him what's wrong. They do tests and tests and change her medicine all day long but her fever just won't break. Hopefully they find out what she has so they can get her on the right medicine.
Oscar (one of Jose's cousins that live here in Omaha) left Friday for Mexico. He's going to spend 2 weeks down there. I sent a back full of older clothes of mine, some pictures, and toys to Jose's family. I also gave his brother my stereo, since I've only used it once or twice and then moved it into a box in the garage since the girls kept trying to shove CDs and DVDs into it. He was sooooo happy that I gave it to him! He sent it to his wife, since he's here in Omaha, too. A stereo like mine (it cost me $189.99 back in June of '05) would cost around 300 US Dollars or 3300 pesos! Ouch!
I want so badly to go back and visit. We've "talked" about me going to do my first communion down there.. Jose would stay here and I would take the girls down there for a month or two. This would have to be before Izzy enters school, though, and when we have more dollars. LoL, right now we're so damned broke I don't see a trip to ANYWHERE other than the poorhouse any time soon...
What is the poorhouse exactly...?! My Mom used to always say that when I was little...
Once, when my sister got into a fight with her roommate, my mom and me went to move out my sisters stuff and the roommate was crying like an idiot. My Mom stormed up to her and yelled, "CRY! Because the more you cry the less you'll PISS!"
Gotta love Mom. =)
I better go... As much as I don't want to, I *have* to go to work sooner or later! (sigh) Bye!!!

After watching "Flicka" (awesome movie, I loved it!) I have fallen in love with Tim McGraw. He is hunkiness to the 10th power. Damn that guy is FINE. I've been watching music videos with him allll week. The one from Flicka is the best. Same goes to "Over and Over" with Nelly. *sigh* Such hotness!
Here are some random pictures from the last few days:
I *love* the one where Isabel is giving Olivia a kiss. LoL, it makes me so happy! :)
Not too much is going on. I LOVE living at the apartment. Love it, love it, love it. It's amazing! Life seems so much brighter without all of Jose's people hanging around all the time. They're just so God damned needy... Now that we've moved out we here from a least a couple of them various times every day. LoL, if its his brothers, I don't answer my phone! I'm a bitch, but I'm also sick of making phone calls for them and translating mail and looking up stuff on the computer... Once in a while it is okay, but not a zillion times a week. For Jose, sure. Fine and dandy. But I'm not married to his brothers... you know what I mean?
I have to pee soooooo bad.
Thursday we were hit by a HUGE blizzard. It was TERRIBLE!!! Wednesday night we left the girls at Jose's Mom's house, since I knew it was going to snow. But I didn't know it was going to snow that much!!!! I was one of the few people that made it into work! Of 13, there were only 6 of us!!! =D
I better go.... C~ya!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Nothing special has happened on mine so far. Someone DID leave chocolates on my desk at work this morning, and I love chocolate, so that's cool. I'm hoping Jose gets me something. It can be a little something. I just want some kind of token to recognize the day from him. And he's well aware of that, so I'll be damned disappointed if I don't get anything! LoL.
I've worked so much this morning. I feel so proud of myself! My good friend from work has been really sick, so I did all her work. I'm proud to have done a job I've never done before with hardly having to ask questions.
Yesterday we signed the lease and paid rent! The apartment is OURS! Yay! We did a quick walk-through last night, and we have to document any flaws. The bathroom off of the master bedroom had a VERY messy toilet. Rust stains, maybe...? I wonder if maybe whoever lived there never used it. Who knows. Anyway, Jose has been moving stuff all day. I'm so excited. I can't wait! He was going to go pick up the furniture we wanted for the girls' room...
=D
I want to go NOW and start getting stuff arranged! =D

They are gone! His Mom, his neice, his neice's baby, Rigo, Omar, and Sergio... All gone! Time for rejoicing has arrived! And, man, I sure did rejoice almost all weekend. I've never enjoyed the house we're living in as much as I've enjoyed it since Saturday afternoon. It just seems like such a nicer place with only 4 people living in it! It seems BIG even! The girls are thrilled with their room. I'll post pictures when I get home. I moved in Livie's bed along with ALL their toys! They played and played with everything Saturday afternoon and all of Sunday morning!
And tomorrow we're going to sign the lease at the apartment! YAY. We still need to buy the dresser and TV stand for the girls' room. We found the PERFECT set at K-Mart but they were sold out! We're going to check out the other two K-Marts in the area, and we'll go from there I guess. And we're buying them a Dora table and chairs set...
This weekend was pretty good. Saturday I worked until 4pm, and then I got home and organized the girls' stuff, threw some away, moved others... We went grocery shopping (SOOOO exciting to grocery shop! LoL!) and then chilled out at home all evening.
Yesterday we all got up kind of early, and went to Wal-Mart. I bought stuff that his Mom had taken, like a broom, dish soap, laundry soap, mop, Pine-Sol, etc. Mmmm... I bought Gain Joyful Expressions laundry soap and fabric softener. It smells so good! We ate lunch, I cleaned some more, and then we took the girls to Kids' Explore at the Mid-America Convention Center in Council Bluffs.
It was ... okay, I guess. TONS of people. After waiting in line for the bounce house for EVER, some lady shoved FIVE little girls in front of my girls. Hell no. I didn't wait 20 minutes in line to let some impatient chick cut in front of me. Way to teach the girls how to WAIT. I called her out on it, and she got all pouty but DID go to the end of the line. Jose said she was glaring at me the rest of the time, but oh well.
Me and Izzy ice skated there, since they had free ice skating. She HATED it. Olivia would have had more fun than she did! LoL. We also watched a Mariachi band, country line dancing, karate, and the girls got a couple of tooth brushes each from the various booths!
I wouldn't pay the $24 we paid to get in again. Waste of money. Maybe if they were older, like 7 and 5...?
We went to visit Jose's Mom after that. She started crying that she missed the girls (Awww...) so they stayed the night there. This morning I ran over eggs, apples, oranges, and nectarines for them, and then I came into work. Blech. :(

I was watching the "Runaway Love" music video last night, and I could NOT get over how sexy Ludacris is. I was seriously drooling, eyes glued to the computer, imagining what I would do to that man if I had five minutes alone with him.
LoL, I'm such a dork. But its true.
That's a wonderful music video, too. It makes me want to cry.
Anyways, music videos are my new obsession. It all started the Saturday before New Years. It was the first Saturday I ever had to work, and the girl sitting next to me was watching the Top 11 music video countdown on AOL Music. Since then, I can't get enough! LoL. My favorite videos right now are "Runaway Love" and "Irreplaceable".
Tonight is the Valentine's Day dance at the Guacameya tonight. I'm so excited. I don't know if I mentioned this, but I won tickets off of the Mexican radio station. Yeah, I did mention that earlier last week. I picked out my outfit last night. I'm going to wear my favorite Levis, a black button-down blouse I bought while in Mexico, and the boots Diana's boyfriend bought me from Texas. I'm so excited to wear the boots! I've never owned $300 footwear before! LoL. They make me feel so sexy. At first I was seriously regretting my purchase, but oh well! You only live once, so I might as well enjoy it.
Moving out day is getting closer... I bought Olivia's bedding from SwapBabyGoods.com (thanks for the link, Jen!). It was $15, including shipping!!! New, it would have been over $30! Yay for getting a bargain.
LoL, I just realized how odd it seems to talk about $300 boots and then in the next paragraph saing $15 on baby blankets. :)
Anyway, I bought her the Dora toddler bed set. I'm going to get Izzy the Dora twin bed set. I can't wait to get their room set up.
I need to pay my cell phone bill, and pay the speeding ticket Jose got while we were driving down to Mexico. The Kansas state troopers got him going 87 in a 70! The ticket is $135. Bill pay bores me so much!

I'm a little irritated right now. Grrrr... I stayed home from school to go out tonight with Diana, and now she doesn't want to go. Even though I called three times during the day to make sure we will still going. What irritates me is the only reason she doesn't want to go is because her boyfriend got home from work early... (sigh) I'm also a tad jealous, to be honest. Oh well, though. Shit happens. I'll have a blast chilling here at home, relaxing with Jose and the girls.
Today sucked at work. I got into an arguement with the girl next to me about her being a lazy, lazy person and then I got yelled at for going to break late. I was on a call with a driver is why I went late! Next time, instead of helping the driver, I'll just tell him, "Sorry, my boss gets pissed if I go to break late. You'll have to call back after my break time!"
My friend from work hasn't been there this week, either, and I miss her.
What a drag of an entry!
LoL... what's something positive...?!
I had McDonalds for lunch and it was AMAZING. I'm finally getting over my Taco Bell phase. Which is so crazy because I would think to myself every day that I'd never be able to get over it!
Jose just left to go get me some sweat bread from the Mexican bakery... Mmmm. I'll have to take a picture of it when he gets here. It is SUPER yummy!
Bye!

Before I go to bed, here are some quick shots from Mexico. =) The first one is me and Jose's neice (CeCe, she's Karina's *the neice that lives with us* littlest sister), the next one is me in front of the liquor store (where we bought three HUGE bottles of Tequila! LoL), and the last one is Jose and his sister's car. It was actually his car back in the day, and he actually drove it ALL the way down to Mexico when he left. It's a 1991 Honda with over 200,000 miles on it!
And (DUH moment here, thanks for reminding me girls!) Baltazar's daughter *does* have leukemia. The tests results confirmed the diagnosis. But... the thing is, EVERYONE that dies young down there, either dies from alcoholism or leukemia. As sad as it sounds, I'm suspect that when the doctor's know that there is something wrong but don't know what, they just say its leukemia. I'm praying that maybe its a virus or something and she gets better soon.

Did I mention that on Monday we went and applied at these apartments? The price is a little higher ($626/mo), but they are sooooo nice. We went about a week or so ago to look at them, and I was very pleased. They were oh so spacious! If I remember right, there were two pretty good sized closets in each bedroom! There were also two bathrooms. While we have no reason for two bathrooms, that might come in handy when Izzy finally gets around to wanting to potty train. The apartments are also pretty close to a QT gas station (my favorite gas station EVER for many reasons!) and a Taco Bell! Yay for close proximety to Taco Bell!
I hope we get approved. I don't see why we wouldn't. Our credit isn't horrible, and neither of us have criminal backgrounds. Wish us luck! I can not wait AT ALL to get out on our own. Yay...
I've already started planning meals... Dorky, I know, but I'm excited. I haven't cooked a meal in ages! Jose's Mom does all of the cooking. I'm also planning on getting the girls on a nice bedtime routine... (sigh) Exciting stuff! I've found the Dora bedding sets I want for the girls, and I'm all eager to hang up all their clothes and buy them a new dresser and night stand. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the loads of toys they have! We'll figure that out later...
Yesterday I got into trouble at work for being mean to one of the driver's. She was being SUCH a bitch, though, and I don't regret AT ALL being mean back to her. Where does she get off thinking she's going to cop an attitude with me, stubborn that I was WRONG. Um... last time I checked I was the payroll consultant. Not her. LoL, I'm dwelling on it, though. I just need to move on and get over it.
Oooo! On Monday night, I won tickets to the Valentine's Dance the local Spanish radio station is throwing! YAY for free tickets! Banda Briza (a local band that plays AWESOME!) is going to be at the Guacameya. Tickets are going for at least $25, so that's pretty cool. I was very excited to have won! I can't wait to go now!
Well...
That seems to be it. The girls are doing good. I took them over to my Mom's house last night. My Mom kept telling me how much fun she and my aunt and uncle had at the party on Saturday. The girls played like crazy at my Mom's. They love it over there! :)
Talk to you guys later.

YAY for pictures!!! Since there has been a HUGE demand (okay, okay, only ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jenn5388 asked, but still...) here are the ( Pictures! )
No pictures of Livie!!! I feel so bad, but I wasn't the one taking pictures! I've mentioned before how my digital camera took a dumb, so I had to rely on other people to take the pictures for me. Anyway, I think they turned out very pretty! I can't wait to see the video! I turned it to Walgreesn to get it burned onto a DVD. YAY! =D

The party was FANTASTIC. It was such a success! I bet there was 150-200 people there!
The morning started out hectic!!! Me and Jose left early to go buy some last minute things we needed for the party. While we were gone, Diana came to pick up Isabel and get her ready for the mass. When me and Jose got home, he took off again, while I took off with his neice to Gordmans so she could exchange a blouse she had bought that was too small, and we ran over to Wal-Mart so I could buy Olivia a dress for the party. I also ended up buying her a pair of beautiful hoop earrings, but she's already lost one!
Anyway...
We got home, and got ourselves ready, and headed over to the church. It was just Jose, me, and Karina, since Jose's Mom stayed home to cook the food and his brother's were working. Once Diana and her family showed up with Izzy, I wanted to cry!!! Izzy looked so gorgeous! The church part was pretty quick. A short explination, and the Deacon "blessed" her with holy water.
After church, it was run, run, run all over again!!! It seemed like we had a bajillion things to do in such a little amount of time! Me and Diana showed up at the hall at 4, and decorated like crazy! Everything looked so pretty! We bought pink and green table clothes, and pink and green streamers. It looked so festive! Jose showed up with the keg, cake, and food, so we started serving salsa into bowls and placing them on all of the tables. We also set out sodas and salt shakers on every table.
At five on the dot, the first guests arrived! From there, things got CRAZY BUSY! LoL! We were serving food like crazy! I didn't know I was such a good waitress!
As people started getting down eating, and the flow of guests slowed down, we started worrying about the pinata. It was FREEZING out! So... we had the two tallest guys stand on chairs, and hang the pinata between the two of of them! LoL. Izzy was a little hesitant at first, but quickly warmed up to the pinata idea! She had a blast whacking at it! LoL. After her, we let the kids hit it in order of size. When the busted the pinata, Izzy DOVE into the pile!!! LoL. I was amazed! She was fighting as good as the other kids for her share of the candy!! When she filled her fists, she ran over to my Mom to "unload" and she dove right back into the madness! Livie was sleeping in a corner on a pile of jackets at this point! LoL. I had the kids hurry and line up for the goody bags, and all 60 of them were gone in SECOND! A few kids didn't get one, but others were more than happy to share.
We did the cake after the party. I bought a HUGE-O Dora cake, and only a few pieces were left! YAY! LoL.
After the cake, it was DANCE TIME! That was probably around 9:30pm. I had LONG since taken off my shoes! My poor feet were KILLING me!!!
I was so happy to see people dancing and having fun!!! Me and Jose danced ALL night!!! YAY! Izzy (and Livie once she woke up) just played all night! Everyone seemed to be having a bunch of fun! :)
It was a very, very fun night! And Izzy got some awesome gifts! :)
That's all for now. I'll update again later! =D

Stress, stress, stress...
Jose is *beyond* stressed right now. He hasn't worked a full week since BEFORE Christmas! Its not his fault; the weather has been pretty crappy. He calls his boss every day, and every day the same story. "Oh, I'll give you a call tonight and maybe we'll head down there tomorrow." Its been a month of tomorrows!!! (sigh) I try not to get worked up about it, since there isn't too much I can do. I feel bad for him, though, to see him worrying so much. Hopefully (*crosses fingers*) he gets his social security card in the mail today so he can go apply for a job around here. The Tyson Chicken plant here in Omaha starts at over $10 an hour. A lot less than he'd be making if he was actually WORKING, but also $10 more an hour than NOTHING.
The party preparations are going okay, despite the major lack of dollars. I bought some table clothes last night, and the ribbon to tie on to the recuerdos. The ribbon will say "Isabel Maria" and "Mis Presentacion". YAY. The DJ did call and bail out on us, but Diana is meeting with another one tonight. I hope he comes through!!!
I'm just kind of blah feeling. You know what I mean? I'm stressed about Jose and the lack of work. I'm stressed about the party and feeling bad about Diana paying for the DJ, when they already paid for the hall. I'm stressed about finding an apartment and having enough money for a deposit. I'm stressed about getting my damned W2s SOON so I can do my freakin' taxes.
My tax refund would suuuuuuurrrrreeee help the money situation!! LoL.
I have a cold, too. (sigh)
Maybe today will get better!!! Bye!

Here are three pictures. One is from October when I drove out to California with Jose to pick up his brother. It was taken somewhere in Utah. The other pictures are just some pictures from this weekend. I would post pictures more often, but the flash bulb blew out of the camera I bought in November. I don't know if it can be fixed, or even if it could, how many dollars it would cost. I've just been using my old camera from back in the day, which also doesn't have a flash. It takes great pictures, though, when there's enough light!
This weekend was pretty much uneventful. Saturday night we took the girls, Jose's Mom (I am still not very happy with her at all, but I'm not going to raise a stink about it!), Karina, and Karina's baby to one Jose's friend's son's third birthday party. Pretty average party. It was snowing like crazy outside, so all of the parties activities were contained to the basement of the dinky house. There were tamales, cake, Jello, candy, and a pinata. LoL, of course there was beer and tequila, but we didn't partake in those activities!!! =D
I called the liquor store yesterday to compare keg beer versus canned beer prices for Izzy's party. Keg Budlight will average me $0.44 a beer, compared to can beer costing me $0.77 a beer. We're going to buy one keg, and a case or two of Coronas. The Dora cake I wanted will cost $39.99 at Hy-Vee. It looks like such a beautiful cake! So... I need to call the Hootch Hutch and order the keg, as well as call Hy-Vee and place the order for the cake. YAY. I'm getting so excited about Izzy's party!!! She's going to have a blast! Saturday night, when she seen the cake and everythin the little boy had, she kept asking me where HER birthday was! LoL.
I'm bored!!! LoL. I've done more work this MORNING than I usually do in a couple of days! Friday I had a little "chat" with my supervisor. Nothing serious... Talk of moving me to an earlier schedule (Whoo-hoo, that means 7:30 until 4:00!!!), talk about my projects, a little warning about cutting back the chatting and internet use. But it did make me want to do better. LoL, I'm a dork...
I guess that's all for now!!! =D BYE!

Back in the day, my Mom would always bring me one can of Shasta strawberry-kiwi soda and a bags of sunflower seeds every Friday when she went grocery shopping. I would eagerly await the X-Files (back then 7pm on FX) to consume the goodness. Those were the days! LoL, and I wonder why I didn't have many friends!
Am I the only one who was kind of a "loner" in high school? Junior High was TONS worse! This sounds very pathetic, but I don't think I had more than one or two friends! In High School, there has always been Diana, but other than her... I didn't really have many friends. I wonder what was wrong with me. After I met Jose, he made up for my lack of friends! And actually, since I've met him, I've "blossomed" more as a person. Know what I mean...? I think I'm easier to get along with, less judgemental of people... And that's always a good thing!
Yesterday work stunk. LoL, today it does, too. I don't usually work Saturdays, but one of the girls was sick, and to be honest I can use the overtime! 8 hours of overtime will be VERY nice on my next check! Too bad that's two weeks away! :)
Yesterday we didn't do too much. We went to Hy-Vee, where I deposited my check in the back. Shannan (one of the few people left from when I worked at the bank back in '04-'05) was AMAZED at how big the girls have gotten! She just laughed when she seen Isabel. I didn't take it offensively, though. She is kind of a massive toddler. =) We chatted a little, and then I bought some shampoo, conditioner, deoderant (much needed! LOL!), and chocolates. Mmmm...
LoL, I guy just came over, introduced himself, and then proceeded to bend over to read what I was "blogging". He had dried boogies in his nose. Ewwww!
We had company over last night; Isabel's Godparents. Nothing new with them...
Blah.
One more hore to go!!! =( I can't WAIT!
