Hello all. Well, ultrasound went great. Baby is growing very well. It is so much fun to see the ultrasounds. Hubby took the picture to work with him to show everyone. He thinks the baby has an evil looking face (don't ask) and that made him laugh. I think it is cute face!
Belle: don't worry...hubby and I dated long distance too. I think if it is a good relationship, long distance is not so bad.
Jen2: the block party sounds fun. It is VERY HOT in Central IL as well. Ahhhh!
Stacey: sorry about the ring thing, but at least now you have a good story to tell. Post pictures!
Kay: It can be stressful when so many people stay with you in a small place. Happy moving.
Jen: sorry to hear you are still sick. I think you should go to the Dr. Can't hurt. Feel better.
Kirsty: YAH on more money!!!!!!!!! Very great! Glad you had a good time in Scoland. Did you make it to the beach?
Kierie: Yah on feeling thinner. You are doing so well.
Well, I said I would be on a reality show. I think Survivor would be FUN. Also, I would love ot be on Fear Factor. What a great show! But, I guess I will never be on one. Oh well.
Well, I guess I should get to work. I have done little today as I spent most of the morning at the DR.
Kier - ah, the little things (like your jeans and necklace) that make it all worthwhile.....Its cool, eh? I tried on a suit that someone gave me last year, I couldn't pull the pants past my thighs - well, I can wear those pants now!! I was blown away! Good for you, you are doing so awesome!!
AGH off to another meeting...this one is a lunch one so I ordered the food - sandwiches and fruit - NOT DESSERTS! Its so hard to resist them....
I have bad self esteem as it is. I don't need the whole world critising me. I couldn't deal at all. Poor Autumn wwho ISN"T fat at all. I would love to be as thin as her...she is only 132- 134 pounds for goodness sake. ANyway....no way, no how will I ever be on a reality show.
OK. I just slept on my office floor for an hour and all I feel is more tired...ARGGGG and sore! Sleeping on the floor rots!
Oh Belle, I forgot that hubby and I were long distance... but not that long.... only 8 months. OK, that is kind of long. We saw each other most weekends. And for 4 months of that we were not engaged. Time will only tell!!!
I forgot that also say that I would be on reality TV, just not Survivor... mostly because I would want to win really bad, but don't want to become as thin and sickly as they do! I LOVE the Real World and Road Rules. That would be cool! And having 10 minutes of fame wouldn't be that bad!
OK, been up from my office nap for an hour and I may be feeling a little better. I HOPE... Still have a HUGE headache tho. Have I said that I hate being sick. I feel like a BIG baby... bigger than Emma when she wails!
Jen - wish I could curl up on the floor, but that would be the very moment someone actually walked by my office (usually just tumble weeds!) and I'd be caught and fired...oh well!!
I just went to get a skim milk Latte with a half a shot of almond syrup - its about 3 points and satisfies my sweet cravings plus I get a coffee boost (yay!). I am such a coffee addict..I mean, I can go without coffee, but I really really like it!!
Anyhoo, must get some work done, only 2.5 more hours to quitting time! Then, only 11 work days until my trip with b/f. WE decided to camp and then spend one night in a nice hotel. Of course, we'll probably drop dead of exhaustion and not enjoy the room but oh well!
I have a door on my office with no window. Plus being management I can get away with things. It was either take a nap or go home for the rest of the day.... the nap suited people better because I am still here. Although I would have prefered to go home. Hubby was jealous tho!
Ughhh... 2 hours left till I go home. Some days last forever!

40. You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker

Belle... only 1 hour 20 minutes left. Too late to go home early. Plus hubby and I come in together so it would be hard to drag him away too! Oh and yah, Calgary is north of us.. HI *waving north*. Did you get to the Stampede?? Was it fun????
I went to the Rodeo with b/f's family, that was fun, and we drank beer, but I didn't get on the rides or anything else. I also didn't get to go drinking with my co-workers, but not a big loss, I don't know them well anyway...
You should come up one summer when Emma is bigger to take in Stampede!
Belle, I would love to. I was on the grounds during the off season once to meet with the people we work with, but that is it. I wanted to go to Banff too, but no time. One day we will! Glad you had fun. 50 minutes and counting. I am ready to skidaddle!
Jen: I loved that list! I remember every single thing on there. I still have a smurf hanging around my room somewhere ... isn't that sad? I found it when going through some old things a few years ago and stuck it on my bureau. And I used to make those Easy Bake oven cakes for my dog's birthday. Those were the days ...
Belle: My b/f waited a year and 2 days to tell me he loved me! I remember because of all days, it was on Election Day. I told him about 5 months and then shut up about it until I heard it from him. AND, we later did the long-distance thing for two years. But we're going on 5 years now, although I'm still waiting for that ring.
Well, I have a story to write. I got delayed because the smoke alarms went off in our pressroom and our building was evacuated for an hour while firefighters figured out if there was a fire. There wasn't.
but oh well!
