Black Friday

so... can i just tell you that i happen to LOVE black friday... its so much fun... this year, we woke up at 3:30 to be at the first store (kohls) at 4am... 25 minutes later we hit store #2 - walmart...30 minutes later we were off to store #3 sports authority - that one was literally in/out to pick up a gift card... then to store #4 toys r us which took about 35 minutes.... then we hit the opening of the last store Home Depot at 6am... by the end of it, i was sweating... and my heart was racing... mom was so frazzled, she was still trying unlock her car with the remote while sitting inside the car in the drivers seat - i was like... why do you need to unlock it now? we both just laughed... it was all we could do

a tv, 2 vacuums, a shredder, a couple of track suits, 6 boxes of diapers, 6 boxes of wipes, 8 pointsettas and 2 gift cards later... and not an inch to spare, mom dropped me back at my car where i went home to eat breakfast with Summer before going to work...

unfortunately for me, my early morning adventure precluded sleep... oops... and this the 2nd night in a row with less than 6 hours... i'm literally on fumes... my leg feels liks its not even connected to my body right now... i will crash hard tonight....

i can't wait to spend time with Summer... i miss her... maybe we'll take our holiday pictures this weekend

Blogging loser

So... apparently, my goal was to blog once a week while i was at work... and as i can see from the date of my first post, its been a month... i'm officially a blogging loser.

what's been going on you may be asking yourself with little interest in actually knowing... I'm now 24 weeks.... WOW! and lets face it... in 2 days, i'll be 25 weeks.... that's 6 months... that's pretty much 2/3's of the way there... if history repeats itself and new baby comes early, that means i have about 13-14 weeks left... suddenly i'm struck with all the things i haven't done yet... things like... oh... picking a name... getting new baby's room ready... blah blah blah

I am enjoying a constant state of hunger followed by a constant state of bloatedness :-) I'm enjoying my nicely popped out belly button... i have always been an outie lover... i'm kinda enjoying how everyone at work is treating me like i can't do anything.... nothing better than setting the expectation low and wowing them with all the things i can still do....

Sum had her 18th month checkup yesterday. She just had her flu shot and they checked her hemoglobin with a fingerstick. When the nurse pricked her finger she didn't even flinch, and then she saw the blood and looked at me like "should i be crying about now?" and i said "look at your new sticker" as the nurse put on her bandaid... and she was done... she liked her new fleshy colored "sticker" that covered the end of her finger. I dare say casey would have passed out! LOL... apparently she got her toughness from me. Other than that, she's doing great. Still hanging out around the 25%tile for everything.... but that's where's been all along.

more later i suppose...

Well.... I suppose its about time...

Age hasn't been very nice to me... what happened over the last 10 years that technology has seemingly passed me by? I pioneered AOL... practically founded email... redefined Instant Messanger.... only to find myself now - 30 years old and just starting to text this calendar year. what!??!

I've been peer pressured into opening myspace accounts and facebook accounts which were slightly entertaining at first... but way too time consuming to keep up with - especially since work keeps blocking them... and here I sit now... finding myself lagging behind technology yet again - peer pressured into starting a blog...

I suppose that makes me a band wagon jumper doesn't it?
