Finally...
Blogger has decided to let me post my pictures of Doodlebug that I wanted to post last night.
What do you mean you want the remote... doesn't it come with the big chair? 
Peek A Boo, I see you Gma.Guess who gets to call the a government office tomorrow to get a tourist card for a trip to Cancun. Yup, white sandy beaches are in my near future and will definitely be needed after dealing with a fed office.
Lot's of Crap
Last week was another of those wild and crazy kinda weeks and this one isn't looking much better. So, as I sit here with my good buddy Jose, I will fill you all in.
The Move - It was decided that due to logistics, we needed to move people around at the office. This meant I had 18 computers, monitors & printers to unhook, move and hook back up. While this may not sound like a big deal, it is actually royal pain in the ass. Then, not only did I have to move 18 computers, but I had to give up my office due to moving people around, which meant I also had to pack and move back to cubicle life.
Now for the kicker, did I mention that I forgot to bring my casual clothes to work and had to do most of the move in a skirt? It's a good thing I did this after hours, as I am sure my skirt wearing big ass looked really cute sticking out from under desks. As a matter of fact, I spent so much time on the floor crawling under desks, that I actually had marks on my knees. No
EA, it was not from doing something else on my knees. Trust me, that would have been much more enjoyable.
I also found while the people I work with are great, they can also be a little high maintenance when it comes to their workstations, computers. printers etc. One of the owners wanted something Friday and apparently I must not have had a good look on my face, as later he came up to me and asked me please to not be mad at him. I told him that I wasn't mad, it just wanted 20 freakin minutes without one person bitching at me over the move. Apparently, my point was taken and I was actually left alone for all of 10 minutes.
I have to say, that if it wasn't for my new friend DRM, I don't think I would have made it through Thursday without losing it. Luckily for me, DRM was there to make me laugh and take my mind off my problems. So without further ado, a big THANK YOU to my newest buddy!
The weekend was great. My friend DH was given 4 tickets to a football game. She invited J, Lucy and myself. The four of us had a great dinner together and then attended the game. The seats were awesome. We were 12 rows back from the field behind our player's bench at the 45 yard line. The only had part was actually watching the game instead of the great skin tight football pants wearing butts that were standing in front of the benches. To top off the night, I actually got carded when I went to purchase a margarita (they card 30 and under). Damn, it just couldn't have been any better!
For the good news, Doodlebug's other grandparents are out of town, so we get to keep her every night this week. It will be exhausting, but definitely worth it. (I had pictures for you, but blogger wasn't behaving tonight. I guess he was jealous that I spent so much time on my knees last week and he was left out.)
Sorry for all the babbling in this post and thank you for actually sticking around to read it, but you know how it goes when I get with Jose, I either take my close off or babble. Luckily for all of you guys, it was the babbling that occurred tonight. LOL
P.S. Melissa, I know I owe you a post from Friday, I haven't forgotten, just been busy and still have DSL problems at home.
Happy Belated Bday
This title is for me and my sis
EA.
Both of our birthdays were last month, however due to busy schedules, we just got together last night to celebrate. We went to one of our favorite restaurants (Pasta House) and had a wonderful meal. For the first time in months, Doodlebug didn't throw any type of tantrum while at the restaurant. She was actually on super behavior and entertained us as well as all of the people around us. She practiced her Miss America wave and blew kisses to the other patrons.
Then came my favorite part... gifts. EA went out of her way again this year. With a new Italian charm bracelet already started with 2 charms, a tote bag she decorated for me, some soaps shaped like shoes and purses and a key chain. Now, this was not just any key chain, this was a Coach Key Chain with little purses on it. Isn't my sis the best?!?!?!
Hopefully I can get pics taken and added to this post over weekend.
Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!
She's getting soooooo big
Yes, blogger and I have made up. No, I will not be giving details of what I had to do, just be happy to see pictures again.
Who me? I didn't do anything. By the way, where is my hair brush?
Don't you wish you looked this cute in a swimsuit?
Why are you bothering me Gma, I'm rocking my baby.
Hmmm, I must think about that one. (Notice she finally has enough hair to put it into a pony holder in the back.)
Goodnight all from Kgrams and Doodlebug
I'm baaaaaaack
Hi everyone!!! Thank you all for the comments and emails as to where I was and why I wasn't out here. What I determined is that sometimes, life just gets in the way. Between work, Doodlebug and many computer problems, I have not been able to sit down at my desk and type. Tonight, I decided I am going to sit here, try and get an internet connection and type something for my friends and to heck with house and paperwork. (My massage earlier and the glass of wine I'm currently drinking helped a lot in this decision.)
Kalyn is getting bigger by the day. It's amazing how much time and attention she demands. I am actually getting an old computer from work to set up for her to look and her pictures and type... maybe then I can have time to type as well.
She is almost 19 months old now and the terrible 2s are starting to set in by way of stubbornness and temper tantrums. She must get these traits from her
Aunt T. : )
I had pictures, I was trying to upload, but apparently, blogger is not any better. I guess I owe him a few days of stroking since I've been gone so long. hehehe
For those of you wondering, my son has moved back to the same city, but is still not home. I am still dealing with the emotions of it all on a daily basis, but it is getting much better.
Here is a quick recap of April, May, June & July...
April - I took the new job and am LOVING it. While I miss all of the people from my old work, I do not regret for one minute taking this job. It has led me to many new challenges, places and most of all I have met a lot of really great people.
May - As with any new job, I put in quite a bit of extra hours as there is always so much to learn. Took a business trip to Chicago, it was great. Lumpy met me there at the end of the conference and we did a 4 day weekend. It was so much fun!!!
June - Work, work, work. We purchased a smaller agency and spent the month getting them set up and trained. Went to concert and outdoor theater with Lumpy to get in some relaxation and girl time.
July - Another business trip. This time Lumpy and I both went to Vail, Co. (Don't you feel sorry for me having to work so hard?) LOL We had a fabulous time and celebrated my uh um choke choke 39th birthday while there.
No promises on how often I will have time to post, but I promise to get better and to catch up on all of you lives!
What do you mean you want the remote... doesn't it come with the big chair? 
Peek A Boo, I see you Gma.
