Happy Birthday to me?!

As I wake up this morning, on the day of my birth, I sit and wonder a few things: 1-how did 31 years fly by so quickly! 2-am I seriously 31....I guess its a good thing that I don't feel it ;o) 3-oh lord, I don't feel it, but do I look it? ACK!!!! Damn wrinkles! 4-I feel that I should have more then I do (baby, new home, better job). Anyhow, enough pondering! It just doesn't feel like my birthday, I guess that's due to it being a Sunday. UGH!!! I hate Sundays! One fabulous thing that I'm so excited about is the fact that one of my best friends is moving back to Wichita today, my cousin that I haven't seen since my wedding (2+ years ) is coming to town next week (and her birthday was this past Friday), and finally.....another cousin is coming over today with Emma (prior post) to make harumaki (eggrolls for those that don't know Japanese, lol), & fried rice. YUMMMM! This is why I can't stand Chinese restaurants, I am spoiled because I grew up helping make the real thing. Tastes wayyy better then anything in the 'fast food' chains!

What I have been up to - -

Thought I would post some pictures of someone who has been occupying my time.........
Her name is Emma Rae. I call her Thursday, but this little one has many names ;o) This is my cousins daughter that was born on Jan. 8, 2009. Ronda, my cousin, didn't decide on a name before or when she was born so therefore I called her Thursday, since she was born on Thursday (Elvis' birthday as well). But, when Ronda would talk to her in the womb, she was refer to her as 'Bill.' We are not sure why, but when she did, Emma/Bill would respond by kicking...maybe that was a clue as to not name her Bill. (so to keep up her names: Emma, Thursday, Bill..) Ronda's older daughter, Miranda, did not/does not like the name Emma (not sure why) and called/calls her 'Not Emma' and now calls her 'Martha,' random I know! (names- Thursday, Emma, Bill, Not Emma, Martha- what a mouth full!) So, after all the random names this baby is called her birth certificate arrives and her "official" name is 'Owens,' which is her last name. I guess she is like 'Cher' or 'Madonna' now, sweet! This part of the story goes like this: the lady that does the birth cert. at the hospital wanted to leave early the day Ronda and Emma were leaving the hospital and since she did not have a name yet Ronda asked for the forms and got a lot of grief over this. I guarantee Ronda is not the first or that last to do this. She in fact did this with her first daughter. All you have to do is give the parent the forms to fill out,they fill them out, and send them in to the court (I believe), but NOOOOOOOOOO. This loony bird from the hospital gave Ronda the forms AND she also sent them in to the court (or where ever), and DID NOT tell Ronda this! Now the baby's name is 'Owens' (her last name)....ugh!!! Ronda, now, has to go to court, pay, and explain how it wasn't her fault about the birth certificate to the judge and what other hoops they make her jump through!! I think this is just crap! Dragging a baby to court for something you DID NOT do!! So frustrating!!! She is an infant and does not need to be exposed to the germs that are in a courthouse. Some of those people are just fowl! I guess a good thing is that Ronda can totally change her name, if she really wanted to since she technically doesn't have a name. I mean goodness....she has tons to pick from: Thursday, Emma Rae, Bill, 'Not Emma', Martha. LOL! I hate thinking about it. I am just hoping Ronda calls me so I can watch the nugget while she is at court. I just love her so much and it makes me want to have one myself.....ACK! Can't believe I just said that!!!

I am horrible....

I have had this blog a few months and already I'm slacking! UGH! I honestly mean to get on here to share with everyone, but nope......I forget. I didn't think at 30 (30 3/4 actually) the mind was suppose to go this quickly, GEEZ!

WHATS NEW: working and working and oh ya, working! It seems that is all I do. I enjoy my job, for the most part, but hate that it consumes so much of my time. I have limited time for my husband and furry daughter and that is the part that I hate =o< I guess once I get the hang a little better I can do what I want with the people I work with. One great thing, is that I do have the ability to work from home at times!!! That is a plus. Only bad thing, is that they prefer us to come in and I think I honestly get more done at home, go figure.

Lot of confusion?!?

I am in a state of confusion lately. I took a job, but have heard a job I have been wanting for the past year is getting ready to come available and a friend works there so I may have a little bit of a gain in the interview process. I am needing to take a test that can totally boost my esteem and confidence in my career. Have taken the test once, but I failed. I have thought about doing it again and now I'm not so sure. I would have about a month to study and when I say study I mean HARD CORE study (4 of the 4inch binders FULL of information, reading books, notes, etc)! Not your average study session. I studied FOREVER last time, but the test didn't seem to ask anything I knew which made me feel so disappointed in myself and my abilities. Being able to study all day would work, but I work full time and sometimes more then that. I am just stuck as to what I should do and felt that I needed to "release" some of this confusion and stress. thanks for reading if you did and also sorry if you read all of this 'junk' ;o)

A little late....oops!

I know this is a little late, but what the heck! I saw on a fabulous blog, 'Endless Possibilities', some super cute blocks to display for the holiday season and of course I bought them. I can NEVER pass up and great deal for a great item/items! Anyhow, here is a picture of me and my super duper fabulous Christmas blocks that were made, yes....MADE!I kept mine in the plastic they arrived in due to the fact that a majority of our things are still in storage until we can buy a house and I DON'T want them scratched or messed up in the least bit and thought this would save them and I'm also packing them up tight and alone in a plastic container so I can keep an eye on these fabulous decorations. I plan on visiting her site as well as her blog to purchase a few more items. All I can say is that she is great and her products are FABULOUS, can I say that anymore?! FABULOUS, FABULOUS, FABULOUS! ;o)
