Excited!

I’m a very proud new Aunt! My sister-in-law Dawn gave birth yesterday afternoon to a peanut of a baby girl. Her name is Sarah Ann and she weighed 5 lbs. 11 oz. and is 19 ½ inches long. I went to see her today at lunch and she’s gorgeous! Of course I’m not playing favorites or anything but she has the most perfect lips I have ever seen. I’m jealous!

Dawn & Daymon did great. Dawn had some issues after having Sarah but is on the road to being fine now. The whole family is doing wonderful.

Feeling like poo..part II

Ok..so by the way Jake is fine now and bouncin off the walls. He layed down for a bit took a good long nap and wah-la he's a kid and they bounce back fast. I guess that means I need to lay down cuz I'll feel better too right?

Feelin' like poo..

So I stayed home today from work initially because Jake wasn't feeling well but as the day goes on I feel like crap. My ears hurt, throat feels like it's swollen and raw inside. It hurts to swallow, talk, anything. My head is going to explode and everything is intensified by 100%. Needless to say I am a bit grumpy at the moment and only want to lay down. Not sure if it's allergy crap, sinuses or what but it's kickin' my butt and I don't appreciate it. I wish I could make it all go away.

Alright, I understand roads need to be fixed and sewer work needs to be done but for the love of god does it all have to happen at once? Every street and I mean every street in an 8 block radius is reduced to one lane or closed all together down here by my office. It’s almost impossible to get here or god forbid if you have to leave to run an errand. You have to drive 20 minutes out of your way to get anywhere or back here from wherever it was you had to go. If you think I’m joking check it out yourself at:

I can’t wait until it’s all over and let me tell you it better be worth it. ARGHHH

Looking for Sherlock Holmes....

So does anyone know a good detective? There are a couple people who I don’t really know anything about that I would like to find more information on. What I do know is only hear-say. I have searched every website known to man on how to find someone but when you don’t know much about them it’s a bit hard. I know you probably have no idea what I am talking about but if you would like to help me or have tons of spare time to spend doing my dirty work, heck just ask and I’d be glad to let you know what I’m up to.

I've been tagged...

Ok, so here's the scoop. I've been tagged and need to come up with 10 semi interesting facts about me. This was not easy...you'd think I'd know me better than anyone but I guess I don't at any event, I tried. Here is my 10 and if you are reading this...you're it!

1. When I was a kid I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer.

2. I think ghosts/spirits/orbs are very interesting and I do believe in them.

3. I am almost sure I died in a previous life on a ship by drowning.

4. I think Milton Hershey was one of the most brilliant men ever…and not because he made Chocolate. If you’ve ever read about him or watched his Biography you’ll understand.

5. If I had money- I always thought it would be fun to get in the car and drive cross country to L.A. with no plan.

6. People who clip their nails or file them gross me out. I can do my own or my kids but to watch or hear other people makes me want to gag.

7. I love to put crunchy Cheeto’s in my beefaroni. That’s the only way to eat it.

8. I am a medical freak of nature…I have 3 kidneys. One that works fine, one that works 30% and one that doesn’t work at all.

9. I always wish I would have lived in the 1800’s-the Little House on the Prairie days. Simple life, hard working, family & church were very important.

10. I can’t remember what I did 20 minutes ago but I am a total 80’s fanatic. Song, Movies, Shows…Trivia is my specialty.
