happy halloween.


i'm spending mine with a mess o puppies.

6.10.07

i am round.

look at me updating over here. i am such a good girl.
it will be in list form:


*my job at the USDA is officially over - my tailbone is appreciative, our bank account feels something is missing

things i will miss:
-paycheck
-having a purpose
-paycheck

things i will not miss:
-excel spreadsheets
-sitting
-the bathroom being upstairs while i am in the basement. that is what you call an unfortunate situation
-the sickly sweet smell of pop-tarts EVERY morning from a creature of habit coworker. i could predict every move... come in, put stuff down, turn computer on, log in, put pop-tarts in toaster, get ice and glass of water, back to computer for less than a minute, come back to claim pop-tarts, eat pop-tarts
-the guy that comes in EVERY day to use the microwave, puts his coffee/tea in, sets the microwave for 1-2 minutes and then walks away for, oh i don't know, at least 20 minutes leaving the microwave to beep every 15 seconds until i roll over and violently jab the off button. i mean really, why do that?

*i have shown my mom how to upload pictures and movies to their blog...i am awaiting visual confirmation of my teachings.

*i just found out that i am getting another niece! it will be hard to top the first one but my big brother and sis-in-law grow good nieces so i'm pretty sure she will be just as perfect as this one

*i have also just realized the extent of my student loans. this is not nearly as exciting as finding out about a new niece. no, not at all.

*i have been daydreaming about running. i can't wait until i am winded and sore from my first run post baby. it will probably be one mile or less and i will have to walk down stairs backwards as if i have run 22+ miles. it will be glorious.

* i have also been daydreaming about eating roly poly again. i am wondering if i can get them to sponsor wee baby's delivery..i will have access to piles of deli meat....
nurse: do you want to hold your baby?
april: get out of my face lady. but first, give me that ham and cheese on wheat

things i am happily addicted to at the moment:
*lost (we're on season two)
*etsy
*webcrosswords
*cleaning
*brownies with cream cheese icing

thing i am joylessly addicted to:
*waking up around the three o'clock hour just to see what's going on in the house. usually everyone is sleeping peacefully. isn't that nice? i like to keep a check on it though, until at least 6:30 am or so. you know, just in case. my friend, tylenol pm, may be coming to visit soon.


herschel update: he found some shorts/herschel man pants. he is excited.
