Since we're talking so much about animals and all, I figured I would post one of my favorite animal adoption websites.

Petfinder

If I had a big enough space to put them all and enough money, I'd adopt tons of the animals on this site as they're all homeless and looking for a loving family.

Unfortunately, I have my one dog...and she's a handful and that's enough for me (and she doesn't even live with me at the moment). I have an awesome picture of her hanging up in my cube at work which I will have to scan when I'm at work on Tuesday. She really does have a cute face...almost so cute that you think that she can't do anything wrong, but alas...she gets into WAY too much stuff.

My mom was telling me the other day that she was in her kennel and she only goes in there when she's bad, but she hadn't done anything. She asked my dad what Erita did and he said that he didn't know because to his knowledge, she hadn't done anything. Well, my mom went to feed the dogs and Erita came out of her kennel to go eat, so that gave my mom the perfect opportunity to go and look in the kennel. I guess Erita had some how gotten a hold of a big flat rock from the rockery outside (a rockery is just a big wall with rocks stacked one on top of the other)...so if you imagine how big those rocks were, she somehow got that in the house. She was in her kennel eating this rock. WHY?! SO, my mom threw it in the garbage can. Erita, after she was done eat, decided to go and get her big rock and my mom told her that rocks were bad and they go in the garbage. Well, Erita knew where that was...so she stood in front of the garbage hoping my mom would give her the rock...lol

My dog is such a nerd...

Anyway, I cleaned my kitchen tonight and it felt SO good. Call me weird, but I think I really like the smell of Soft Scrub. Maybe it's not Soft Scrub itself, but the bleach that's in it...makes me feel like I'm cleaning really well. I suppose I shouldn't be taking in all the bleach fumes and all from cleaning, but hehe...sometimes it just smells so much like, CLEANING! Okay...I'm nuts...

Anyway, if ya'll want to see a recent photo of me and the baby, here ya go...



I've all of a sudden popped out there in the front. It'll be nice to get rid of that baby weight...but then I'll be carrying it on the outside, in the form of a little pooping, crying, giggly baby...is that something I should be looking forward to?

I've been waiting for this football game all season :) Not that it really matters all too much, but it's the Broncos vs. the Seahawks!!



Well, in the picture, we've got it swapped, but I ganked that off the Denver website...hehe

Anyway, it's my home team...against my other home team. I can't say that I want Denver to win tonight because that's where I live right now, but I'm really rooting for the Seahawks because they're my true home team.

I cross my fingers, but we'll see...

Other than that, my day wasn't that eventful. I worked for about 4 hours this afternoon...played some World of Warcraft this evening (I have to not play my main character because Brian's at work...we play our characters at the same time so we can level together and help each other out...we're dorks)...It was horrible. I was playing this character that I have and I joined this group with RETARDS. I swear...it was about getting his quest item versus staying alive. He ran for the eggs...I got ambushed by 2 thingies and he's over there getting his eggs and I'm slowing hacking away at these two things slowly dying...AND HE'S FUCKING GETTING HIS QUEST ITEM! I hate people that do that...so, I turned in the quest and logged off. I'm not playing that character again...lol...

Oh well, time to make dinner now. I've got the hamburger thawing in the sink, so I better go brown it and make all my stuff :)

I just woke up here 5 minutes ago...so if it sounds all jumbled or strange, I can blame it on me being sleepy still.

My day today is going to be busy.

First off, I've gotta take a shower. Get all clean and whatnot since I have to be around people...lol...yeah, that's not really my only excuse for taking a shower. BUT, it'll be nice to just stand in the water...the nice, HOT water since it's been so cold out. I like to stand in the water even when it's hot out. I don't know why...

After that, gonna get myself some breakfast and then head on off to work to work our Candy Land putt putt golf course thingy. I suppose we'll work on that for a few hours...then I'll actually be clocking in and working WORKING because I'm not going to be at work tomorrow. I want to make sure I get all my e-mails sent out for tomorrow, match up all my e-mails to all of that stuff this afternoon so I can respond to those and reject those that have not been addressed...then tomorrow, all the person (most likely my manager) will have to do is print out my faxes and e-mails and be all good to go) which is somewhat what we did last week when I was gone on Tuesday.

I've got a doctor's appointment tomorrow at around 2pm I think (I don't remember and I can't find my appointment card) so I'm going to call them in the morning to find out for sure. After that, I'll be going back to my appointments every week from then on as I'll be about 35 weeks pregnant next week (OMG...it's just sound TOO close to the time to have this baby) and he likes to make sure that first time mom's blood pressures and whatnot are checked more frequently and all that.

I think I've found the pediatrician I want to have, however, I have to call my PCP (primary care physician) and find out if I have to get a referrral from them to go see the pediatrician or if I can just go to this other guy. If the other guy takes my insurance, you better believe I'll be there. I guess all the reviews people have given him have been nothing but excellent and I guess he's extremely fantastic with kids (which is a real priority)...SO, we'll see. I get to do that all tomorrow...

OH, one other thing today...going to pay my rent...oh goody. That's about the fastest $700 I blow every month, but I guess it doesn't go to waste. If I didn't pay it, I'd be homeless...so I guess it's a good thing.

Anyway...better get moving...and I shall leave you with a baby deer (fawn)...BAMBI!!!

I am so horrible! Here I didn't even update today because I was playing World of Warcraft...how sad is that?

Okay...I think it's very sad...but that's besides the point.

It was cold, VERY cold today. Didn't really want to go outside or anything...

Brian is being very nice and installing the 250gb hard drive I bought yesterday into my computer. We're then putting Windows on the new, faster hard drive...copying all the stuff on my 40gb hard drive to my new hard drive and then reformatting the old hard drive. All that techno-geek stuff I leave for him to do...lol

Anyway, that's my mini-update. I'm going to work tomorrow...but I have Monday off...woo! I'll make time to comment then.

It's finally Friday...and yay!!!

Before I forget, today is xboyz birthday today, so you should go celebrate!

In other news, we get bagels this morning which is also a good thing. As long as there's a blueberry bagel for me or a cinnamon raisin bagel for me, I'm in 7th heaven. Everyone in my department likes the cheese bagels, but eh...give me the fruit!

I am hoping I can actually get Brian's gift for Christmas here in the next few days. I'm just going to go in there and buy what I think my gut tells me is something that he wants/needs and call it good. He was having one helluva time with his computer last night though. A few weeks ago, his RAM died...so, he had a lifetime warranty on this RAM since it was top of the line or something (LED lights on the side and the whole deal), so they replaced the RAM. He went and installed that, and then his computer was running horribly. He thought that maybe his motherboard was going out then. He ordered some new motherboard and that came in last night. He got off work at 6pm, so he was at home last night putting the processor and the heat synch and all that back on the new motherboard...now his computer doesn't even start up at all :( SO, if he can't mess around with it and get it to work, it might be a power source issue and he might need to get one of those now. He didn't have a lot of time to work on it last night as he had to get up at 8am this morning to go to work, but I hope he got it figured out.

I was hoping his computer would work so we could play World of Warcraft :( Okay...I'm an über dork now. I just want to play World of Warcraft...lol...but I must repeat, I am not like those super addicted gamers. I know when to put down the mouse and stop playing. I do not NEED to play World of Warcraft...I just have a need to want to play World of Warcraft. Since I hadn't played in 6 months, I was really torn on getting the Burning Crusades, however, I went and put my $5.00 down to hold my game so I could get one. That was more than 6 months ago that I did that. NOW, I think I might get it...but I'll need to get a new hard drive in order to do so. I am out of room on my 40gb hard drive as it is and with their monster patches and whatnot (500+ mb every time you get a patch usually), I am hurting for space! Brian was saying that they're having a deal at Best Buy where you can get a 250gb hard drive for $99.00. I may have heard him wrong, but if that is the case, sign me up! I'll be getting one of those puppies!

Anyway, enough about that...

I'm slowly giving up my addiction. There is a lady at work that loves Hello Kitty (and so do I) and anything Sanrio pretty much, but she's more into Hello Kitty. I collect letter sets (and I mean, I have tons...a filing cabinet full of letter sets) and I am actually giving some of them away to her. Being here in the midwest, there are seriously no good places to get Hello Kitty stuff. The amount of asian people here in the midwest is barely any compared to the Pacific Northwest, so we don't have that sort of stuff out here like they do in the Seattle area. Anyway, there's this store I got into about once a year when I go back to visit my mom (it's in Kent) and they recognize me. They seriously call me the "letter set girl." But yeah...I'm going to let my friend at work have some of my Hello Kitty paper. I am not really using it and it's just sitting in my file cabinet and Hello Kitty really isn't my favorite. Does anyone remember Pochacco? Pochacco is my favorite...but they stopped making Pochacco stuff...made me sad :(



Okay...time to work...

Good Morning folks!

It was cold outside this morning...I could feel my breath freezing as it came out of my mouth and I had that funny feeling in my nose when it's so cold, my nose is runny, but it's so cold, my snot is sort of freezing (haha...yes...probably too much information). It's sort of an icky feeling...it feels like frost can form inside your nose at any time!

But yeah...the commute this morning was extra peachy. There were a few patches of black ice, but other than that, the roads were mostly clear. It's not supposed to snow today...and it's supposed to be sunny the next few days, so I'm sure the majority of the snow is going to melt off the roads and we'll be all set. The sunrise this morning was WONDERFUL! I wish I had my camera so I could have taken a picture because it was so pretty. Imagine whitish/grayish skies that gradually fade into a light pink...then the pink gets a little darker and then fades into a light purple...which eventually fades into the white/purple mountains. It was pretty cool (to me anyway).

I should be going home tonight, so I'll have access to my wonderful computer. I'm so sorry to everyone here for lack of comments (since I'm usually pretty good at comments). Since I've not been at home the last 2 nights, I've not had access to a computer for long periods of time...and I've not really had access to making comments :( When I'm on for the 5 to 10 minutes that I was, I tried to comment on whose I saw that I normally do...but everyone else :( I SUCK!!! I'll definitely be able to tonight as I will be home.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!! Try to bundle up (if it's cold) and if it's warm (and by warm, I mean you can go outside with jeans and a t-shirt and feel comfortable) where you're at, I'm so freakin' jealous!!!

It snowed for most of the morning and it stopped early this afternoon (about 2 or so)...but I still had to leave work 2 hours past my normal time...ugh...oh well. With the 4 hours I worked overtime on Monday and the 2 hours I worked over today, I almost have one entire day extra to be added to my paycheck...lol. We may have to work late tomorrow too, so I might actually have a complete extra day to add to my paycheck.

Other than that, since I was employee of the month in August, I've been entered into a drawing to receive an extra $500.00 bonus this year at Christmas. To be honest, I wouldn't mind getting this extra bit of money. It's not really a drawing either...the whole entire company nominated the employees of the month, so they get to vote for the 2 lucky people that get the extra $500.00 (yes, 2 people get win). I'm up again 11 other people to get the bonus and I feel I have a pretty good chance. It's all up to who's more popular (and it sucks...but lol...that's how it usually is), so I really don't have any advantage over any other people. All votes need to be in by Monday, so we'll see. I cross my fingers :)

Brian's out at the store getting chili seasoning so we can eat yummy chili tonight :) His dad makes FREAKING SWEET chili, so I'm looking forward to that. He's going to get me some nice, yummy apples too. I've been craving apples...and I want some and he's nice enough to go get some just for me...yay!

Other than that...I'll probably be staying at Brian's house again since the roads are ice-tacular right now (black ice everywhere) and just in case he has to drive me to work tomorrow, he can do so and whatnot. Most likely, I should be okay...so I can go home tomorrow night (which will be nice...I like vegetating at my own house sometimes).

I have a 3-day weekend this weekend. I asked for Monday off, so that will be nice...I also have a 3-day weekend next weekend too (I asked for Friday off)...AHH...I better get in all this vacation time now because I won't be getting any vacation time next year...darn baby!

It has been snowing all night...and all morning...and I keep watching the snow plow truck drive through the parking lot at work and it doesn't look like it makes a difference at all. He plows...it just gets all snowy again...he plows some more...gets all snowy again...

Oh well...at least I didn't have to drive to work in this. Brian's mom was nice enough to get up this morning and drive me to work. She has to work this afternoon, so Brian will have to come pick me up from work, but hell...at least I'm not out there driving around in this crap weather.

I'll update more later. We're ordering Chinese food for lunch (hopefully the delivery man will drive over here and make it okay) so I'll be eating in...I can't wait for my chicken chow mein to come :) with my wonton soup, crab cheese wontons...and fried rice. YUMMY!!!!

Anyway, back to work...
