So, as a salute to Memorial Day, I ran the idea (which was approved) by my boss to take donations for care packages to send to soldiers in the Middle East.  About two weeks later, I am faced with frustratingly little support.  The thing I've tried to stress is that you can bring stuff from home, such as newer old magazines, books, etc.  You don't ( Read more... )

So, I got a Cricut machine a couple weeks ago, and IT FRIGGING ROCKS!!!!  (btw, a Cricut is a die-cutting system)  I now am the proud owner of three cartridges, and this weekend I am going to be using my brand new one that my mommy bought me.  I am so looking forward to utilizing its froofiness ( Read more... )

...so I thought I'd update.  Still trying to get a promotion, and other than that, everything's pretty much the same.

Today we went to my niece's birthday party.  She's one already!  I can't believe it!  And she's so adorable, all smiley with red hair and blue eyes.  I could just eat her up with a spoon, she is that darling.

I just measured Sebastian ( Read more... )

Love is also not shaking the shit out of your child out of pure frustration after he has completely emptied his dresser of all diapers, clothes, and pull-ups for the second time in 24 hours... and won't help you clean up HIS MESS.

If you are sick and tired of me talking about my kid... well, here comes some more. :P

Two times in the past two weeks, Sebastian has made it clear he needs to go potty, waits for someone to pull his pants down and take off his diaper, and then sits on his toilet seat and pees.

Now, I am way impressed with this because boys generally potty train much ( Read more... )

So, today I retook my fourth and final AIC test... and I passed!  HOORAY!!!!  What does this mean?  Well, it means that I get a $300 bonus in a few weeks, and I am eligible to become a claim rep.  Whether or not this actually happens has yet to be seen.  My boss seemed somewhat happy for me, but she's supposed to schedule a meeting with the Claims ( Read more... )

So I know this is a truly ridiculous thing to share with the two or three people who read my lj, but ( Read more... )
