they threw me a baby shower at work today...it was a nice surprise :) I now have lots of wipes and diapers and lots of bath goodies and lots of little teething toys :) I also got lots of clothes too, but I guess I'll still need lots and LOTS of clothes.

Anyway, I don't really have much else to type. After I'm done posting this, I'm going go watch Ghost Hunters (since I bought the DVD last night)...

AND...I leave you with some baby pictures of little border collie puppies! I remember when my Erita looked like this...she's still cute, but not as cute as she was when she was a puppy...hehe

I'm ready for this week to be over with...is it over yet? Please say yes...please say yes! Okay, in 8 hours, the answer will be yes!

I really REALLY did not want to get up this morning. Warm bed, warm blankets, warm EVERYTHING. Cold clothes, cold car, cold hands...I really didn't want to go outside...not to mention, I had to walk all the way across the damn apartment complex to get to my car, so that just made my morning even peachier.

I'm hungry...didn't have time to stop for food...we're supposed to be going out to lunch at the Olive Garden for my boss' birthday today at noon, but I don't know if I can wait that long. I think I'm just going to have a side caesar salad or something because I had pasta last night and I really don't want to eat pasta again!

Poor Brian...I wonder if he had to stay late last night because of the PS3 thing? I doubt it...but he did close last night and then the poor thing had to get up and open this morning. I do not think that he's enjoying his job very much right now. He has to work the day after Thanksgiving and rather than putting him in the Geek Squad where he usually is, they're making him work video games...and they're making him come in at 3:45 in the morning! He's working double shifts that day or something, so he works until some random time in the morning, they give him a lunch, he works some more, they give him a lunch, and then he works some more...finally being able to go home. What bogus bullshit is that? I feel bad for him...I wouldn't want to be doing a shift like that. I have to work the day after Thanksgiving too, but we'll most likely get to leave early since no one's going to be here and the banks aren't going to be open or anything...

UGH...I am hearing a phone call that is going to come to me...lol...better get to my stuff.

TONIGHT = BORING

I sat around until about 7:30ish doing absolutely nothing and then Melissa messaged me and we went to Best Buy where I took advantage of Brian's employee discount (I asked him if it was suspicious and he said "no, employee's spouses get to use the discount") so I guess I'm considered equal to a spouse in his eyes...lol

Anyway, bought some movies and ridiculously cheap prices. I got some $6.99 movies for almost $5.00 and then some $22.00 movie was only about $13.00, so I can't complain.

Melissa and I went to eat at Noodles n' Company after we left there and then I came home.

The funniest thing happened when we were leaving Best Buy. There's a big row of tents out front of the store (you know, this is the best Best Buy ever for waiting out in front of...it's next to one of the biggest liquor stores in Colorado, so they could really have a big party if they wanted to) and this guy in a yellow shirt comes out of the store and he jumps up in the air and he goes "I'M SO FUCKING AWESOME! I'M WAITING IN A LINE IN FRONT OF THE STORE!!! WOOOO!!!!!!" Granted, this guy wasn't waiting in the line, but he was sure making it a point to make fun of those people that were waiting in the line. He just went ballistic and was like "I'm SO FUCKING AWESOME! IT'S JUST SO SWEET TO BE WAITING!" We had a little chuckle on the way to the car...lol

Oh well...that was it...time to watch some of what I bought. I purchased one of the best movies ever...Clue! I am thoroughly addicted to this movie because it's one of my all time favorites :)

OH...you know what, I had a great parking spot before I left to go on this little adventure, but I come back...all the fucking spots are filled up in the parking lot and I had to park not even down by the front entrance, but across from the front entrance up aways into the next parking lot. FUCKERS...I'm going to enquire about getting a damn garage or a carport because this is fucking ridiculous! I'm almost 8 months pregnant and I get winded walking about a flight of stairs to get to my apartment, I don't want to walk across the damn apartment complex to get to my building because there's no parking spots. Pisses me off...

Today has sort of sucked...

I told my best friend...just when I think I'm getting caught up, something is going to screw me over and I'm going to get behind again...and voila! It happened!!!

Welcome to my world I guess. This appears to happen to me every week now...quite depressing if you ask me. Just for once I'd like to know all of my stuff is current and everything is going as planned. I will repeat, AS PLANNED.

Oh well...not going to dwell on that little piece of business. Just makes me frustrated and I honestly feel worthless, but I had a long discussion about it with one my superiors and it isn't me...SO YAY! I guess I just needed that extra reassurance that it was not me :)

I don't know if I explained that we're doing a big putt-putt golf competition at my work at the beginning of next month. Each department is going to make up a hole and then we're going to have prizes and all that for best hole and best putter and all that fun stuff. Our department came up with Candy Land and we're going to go ALL OUT. Our whole course is going to be like the board game from Candy Land. The green is going to be all the colored squares, we're going to have the peppermint forest (with candy canes and candy all over...fake mind you), we're going to do the lollypop land place (with fake lollypops and crap), we're doing the gumdrop mountains with the gumdrop pass, we're going to do the molasses swamp (get this, we're going to fill up a kiddy pool with lots AND LOTS of syrup...so it'll be like the swamp) complete with Gloppy that mollases monster thingy...and then we're going to have a big finish with ice cream castle at the end (as the hole). Someone has a bubble machine, so we're going to load that up behind the castle and someone's building the whole castle faccade and it's going to be all ice creamy and all that. This thing is going to KICK MAJOR ASS! I can't wait to get it done and take pictures because it's going to be sweet :)

YAY! Talking about that has sort of put me in a better mood...much happier and all that.

Um...that's about it!

There's something about today that just doesn't seem right...we'll see as the day progresses how it goes, but I don't know. I have a feeling something might not be going in the right direction.

Ugh...I will have to elaborate later. I've been meaning to type something for about an hour and I have not been able to be at my desk (oh joy...like I said, the fun begins)

I was going to talk about it in my last entry and I completely forgot...

When I was at Target, there was a row of tents outside and I was like "what the hell?" and then I remembered (only because Brian had mentioned something earlier)...those crazy people are waiting for the PS3 to come out on Friday. THOSE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!!!

Look at the predicted weather for the next 3 days in Denver! As of right now, it is currently 28 degrees but because of the wind chill factor, it feels like it's 21 degrees. It will most likely get cooler tonight (as it is really only 10:50 right now). At least there is no rain or snow predicted in the next two days. Supposed to have highs of 61 degrees tomorrow and upper 50's on Friday. It's supposed to get down to freezing at night on both nights...

Now honestly, is sitting outside in a tent with lawn chairs waiting for a crappy video game system to come out on Friday worth it? I am leaning toward NO...A BIG FAT NO!!!

CRAZY PEOPLE!!!

Tonight, instead of doing the things I said I was going to do, I went to Target instead. My goal was to buy cookie sheets (since I have to bake 6 dozen cookies this weekend), but I ended up not getting any cookie sheets either.

INSTEAD, I bought some gloves (my hands get nippy in the morning), Wheat Chex were on sale (3 for $7.00 - a deal I could not pass up...I LOVE WHEAT CHEX!!), some Christmas lights (a string of 110 twinkly ones...they were only $4.00) and some feminine products (yes, even though I'm pregnant and don't necessarily need them, I NEED THEM)...

I then went to Michael's (an arts and crafts store) and got my best friend's birthday present and then I bought my Christmas cards...and then I went home.

I have one other present that I'm going to get her for Christmas (since her birthday and Christmas are so close together), but I wanted to make sure that I got something for one of each and not just mush them together (as people often do).

Anyway, I got home and put my Christmas lights up on my deck. I think they look pretty cool, but I might move them inside. My balcony doesn't necessarily face the parking lot (it actually faces another building) and it'd be different if people enjoyed them (maybe they're enjoying them on the side of the building...who knows). I want to make sure they stay up there though, so I'll do that tomorrow. I can see a big windstorm blow in and blow my Christmas lights right off my deck...lol

The lights twinkle though, so they look like flickering candles and stuff. Not all of them do it, so I think they look really cool...and for $4.00, I can't really complain about what they're doing because they are actually working!

Anyway...I shall be back tomorrow!

A call that should have taken 5 minutes with the gas/electric company took me 20 minutes because they told me I defaulted on my payment arrangement. Makes me want to rip my hair out because I was never told that the due dates changed every month and I assumed that when I was paying the bills on the 15th every month that that was fine (as that is the day that I get paid)...well, this past bill, the due date was the 9th (I guess they move based on reading date) and I'm like...



After 20 minutes of being on hold/discussing matter with them, they let me pay the arrangement amount and they put me back on the payment arrangement...advised me that when I receive my bill, I am supposed to call them and tell them that I cannot make the payment until the 15th as that is when I get paid...and then call back on the 15th. What a clusterfuck!

You know, I might as well magically pull some money out of my ass and pay this whole thing off because I thought this payment arrangement was fantastic until they start pulling this shit on me...ugh...

At least I can call and pay my other bills and know that they'll get paid correctly (i.e. the phone bill and the internet bill...I pay the water bill with my rent). My auto insurance gets debited out of my account every month so I don't have to worry about that one...and then that's it. I have a special expense this month, but that's okay...I can afford it. Unfortunately, I can't pay that one over the phone or else it would get paid faster! Now to get some of the other debts set up on payment arrangements and I'll be set...not to mention STUDENT LOANS. Gotta consolidate those puppies and take care of those within the next month or so.

Anyway, what better way to cure frustration than to post pictures of P-DOGS!!! I figured since my picture yesterday was such a hit, why not put another one up.



Here is mister p-dog eating. He's so cute sitting there with his feet outstretched like that. My goal was to find a picture of a really fat one sitting there with his feet sticking out (and not touching the ground mind you because he's so fat) but I couldn't find any good pictures.

Here's another cute baby animal (as you can see, I LOVE BABY ANIMALS!!!):



SUCH A CUTE BABY POLAR BEAR! I think all babies are so cute, even the animal babies! He's just playing and having a good time...and you know, a lot of little human babies seem to do what this little polar bear is doing. Kids are so flexible when they're little...they they grow up and be fat, overweight adults (okay, that's just me...but lol)...

Speaking of flexible, the lady at the preggo class last night was saying that women are the most flexible during their pregnancy, so don't be surprised if you can stretch a lot of things that you couldn't stretch before you were pregnant. I am wondering if that is true...I've not tried any of the stretching moves that she was showing, but hehe...maybe we are more flexible, it's just harder to get into those positions to be flexible (BELIEVE ME...trying to get up off the floor is a task in itself!)...



I think when I get home tonight, I'm going to work on some of them thank you cards...and I really feel like I should change my layout. I love the picture I have from when I went to Grand Lake, but I am in desperate need of change. I am getting tired of seeing that same picture over and over again. Any ideas of what I should do? I seriously have no HTML/programming skills whatsoever, so the most I'll be doing to my site is changing the banner and the colors...lol

SO, any ideas for the banner?
