Thank you Ian

Thursday, January 05, 2006

For the beautiful flowers!

I was hating my job pretty badly today and just really wanting to leave. It's not really my "job" as much as it is the people I work with. I just really can't stand them! I can't stand being asked a million and one questions all day long, telling everyone else what they should do and helping them with their jobs because they are too damn lazy to figure it out them selves or ask their boss for help. For some reason they all seem to think that I am the boss and can tell them not only what to do but how to do it and when to do and so on and so forth. I'm not the boss! I don't care what you do! Now leave me alone so I can do MY job! I used to love helping other people out and giving my advise and thoughts, but it's just gotten way to out of hand. I've actually been telling people to stop. If the boss tells you to do something and you don't know what he's talking about or how to do it, then F'ing ask HIM!! Don't come running to me as soon as you get off the phone with him and ask me what he was talking about! UGH! It's times like this that make me realize why the boss lets me write my own schedule and come and go as I please. 97% of the rest of the staff are complete morons and need you to practically wipe their ass for them when they take a shit!

Ummm, yeah that's pretty much how I felt when I showed up to bring Ian lunch and then immediately left with out saying much more than 5 words. Sorry babe! All I really said was I love you and then I hate my job! I felt the tears welling up so I just left and he saw it. An hour later there was a delievery for me! He even had the card signed DH, lol. He's too cute!

I love you Ian...DH!

I have to say it was a good day...

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

Not sure exactly what it is, maybe it was this....
Picture if you will, little ol me a whole 5'3" driving the Avalanche to work. It's icy. I pull in the parking lot, (aka ice skating rink!) gather all my stuff up and finish listening to the song that was on. I open the door and go to hop out.....I swear my feet never hit the ground! They went straight up over my head and down I went! Boom! On to my arse and elbows! OUCH!!! I'm in some kinda pain! All bruised and battered. Thankful that no one was around to witness this fiasco. Everything I had in my hands went flying. I still had some photofetti from my mom's surprise party in my purse and of course it all came flying out! Sorry mom!
So there I am trying to gather up all my stuff and picking up all the little pictures of my mom's face all over the parking lot, again, sorry mom, LOL.

I'm not sure what it is I think the fall might have knocked something loose, but I've been in a great mood all day! Normally I would be miserable. I hate the people at my job, I hate living in CT, and AF came yesterday! Another month of disappointment. Oh well! I'll just deal with it!
I finally got the treadmill I wanted and have started to use it. Ian and I have started a competition with a mile race where we have to beat each others time. He went first and then I beat him! Hehehe! Bragging rights. I won't post our times because I couldn't handle the ridicule that Keith would dish out. (Mr. 14 mile run in the desert man!) It was bad to say the least, but hey, you have to start somewhere right? I stayed on the treadmill for 38 minutes tonight! Go me! Boy will I be sorry tomorrow. (And yes Ian and Keith, the treadmill was on! I was running...well, speed walking too in intervals)

So here's my new outlook...Every month that comes and goes with out a BFP is yet another month to get healthier and fitter. For both of us. I'm not looking to lose weight, just get back in shape.
Here's a fear I have about working out....give me your opinion or expertise....
I am naturally thin, always have been. It's in the genes. (Thanks Mom and Dad!) I've never had to work out or watch what I eat. I eat junk food all the time. I'm always hungry, always eating and never exercising. So if I start exercising now, will my body counter act all those wonderful genes I inherited? So, if I stop exercising...say 6 months from now, and eat what I want the way I always have....will I get fat? Or will my metabolism kick it back up?

What do you think?

02. Does it snow where you live? They call is snow, but it's really like slush falling from the sky, yuck! I'd rather have snow than this shit!
03. Do you like hot chocolate? Yummers!! Especially with whipped cream or a big 'ol scoop of Fluff!

02. What did you get your Valentine? I made him a card that had a cheesy heart on the front and I made a collage of pictures of us as kids and put them on the heart, him on one half and me on the other. Then wrote a corny little poem for the inside and put a pic of the 2 of us together.
03. What did your Valentine get you? OMG! He's the best! He set up a scavenger hunt with 12 clues that were all poems and spread through out the house and outside and I went from one to the other until I found the X in the back yard and dug up a capsule that had yet another poem/love letter inside and a beautiful Claudah bangle bracelet! He's AWESOME!

So it begins...

Monday, January 02, 2006

Welcome to 2006! We had a great day off yesterday and New years went well, however the pics we took came out aweful so I won't be posting any of those, lol. Maybe I can crop them up and salvage a little bit of them.

I can't believe it's 8 o'clock already! I feel like I just got home! Where does the time go? Ugh, I have so much stuff to do and there is just never enough time. First things first, I have to finish cleaning the carmel apple shots off the floor from Ian and Justin. They were very sloppy New Year's eve and now the floors are all sticky.

The puppies are all doing well and growing VERY fast! I can't believe how much bigger they look already. They won't open their eyes for another 3 weeks yet so all the pictures would probably look the same if I were to posst them. I'll post a few here and there, but I'll try not to over do it. LOL They are the joy of our life right now. Ian gets home from work and we just sit in the room with them and stare at them and laugh at all there silly ways and their developing personalities. It's sad knowing that this will be her last litter :(

This is the depressing part of the month for me when I find out yet again that I'm still not pregnant. It hasn't happened yet, but I have a feeling that the disappointment is definatly coming. The only up side is that I will be leaving for Florida a week from Friday!! WoooHoooo! I can't wait! It's going to be SO much fun!

Ok, I guess that's it for now, back to cleaning, then off to bed....
