Love As I see It

So I spent Sunday at church and with some great friends. LOater that night as I was being forced to Watch yet another Scooby Doo episode It occured to me that I had really enjoyed seeing those friends, even though we had run into a guy I used to know who was hyper at the very least. I also realized how much I cared about both of those friends and that I probably didn't tell them nearly enough how great they were. I my life I have finally decided I am blessed with my circle of friends and family. Son of the people I know have taught me so much about strengeth and compassion that I can't believe I ever felt alone in my whole life. I realized that New Friends or old, life and love make everything better in the end.

New Job

So in my first week on the job, I have gotten 2 free lunches and a free dinner at Harry Carey's. I am learning more that I ever though I wanted to know about Printing Presses and varoius other machines for Printers and Binders. Overall I really seem to fit in well here. I did have to buy a new vehical due to an unfortunate incident involving a transmission and a lot of rotten luck, but in the end I got a nice newer car and Joey really like it. I'm in training for Inside sales for right now, But I will try and remember to keep you all posted on my current events!!!

Old Years End

So for my final act of the old year, I asked the man in my life to marry me. I know it isn’t the most traditional way of doing things, but since when have I gone for the traditional way?!?! Anyway I decided that since we had been together for a year and a half and that since I love him I didn’t see any reason not to ask. I turns out that the reason I shouldn’t have asked is because he is “Not Ready”. I know it was not meant to be a reflection on his feelings for me per se, but that he was not ready for the whole institution of marriage at this time, but how do you tell your feeling that? I mean I was all sunny dispositions until I could excuse myself to be alone and then I cried for about 10 minutes. Now I’ve decided that all this means is that all the plans I need to make do not have to revolve around him at all. I want to take Joey on a nice vacation this summer, so Joey and I go for it (I’m thinking Puerto Rico). I want to get a place of my own, but because I do not have to consider him in this I don’t have to do it to fast. Believe it or not that means I can help out my parents out a little more, I can do more of the stuff I want to do before I actually go through the whole buying of a home deal. I can also see if he is really what I want. I mean if I finally am in the marrying frame of mind shouldn’t I find someone who is also of that mind? I love the guy dearly.

Post Christmas Yippee!!!!!

So picture this, 5am Christmas Morning. My son jumps on my head and starts yelling "The Sun iss Shining Mommy". I think he must have some sort of cateract problem or something, because the only thing shining was my eyes from lack of sleep. We open the bedroom door and Joey say's "Momma, He was here" in an awed hushed voice "Who was here I ask?" "Santa Momma!!!!" he yells, "Well how do you know?" Iask, he rolls his eyes, uses both hands to motions to the front room and says "Well LOOK Momma!!!!!". I think it was an Oh Duh' moment as far as he was concerned. It was the cutest thing ever. While I made him wait (Because I'm a horrible Mommy) He was allowed to open open one present. I was a GI Joe Jeep and action figure (Don't say Doll anyone). He was in heaven until he realized it was going to take 3 adults and about an hour just to get the darn thing out of the box!!! But the hit of the morning seems to be the Hot Wheels Octoblaster. It's a race track that can crash cars and drives the cats completely insane. It's awsome!!!! Gotta go, I think I hear a car crashing now and I don't want to miss a thing!!

Almost Christmas

I am as excited as my 3 year old about Christmas this year. I hve big plans for the New Year and Christmas may play into those plans!! I can't wait to see Joey face when he opens all his gifts. He is going to be so excited, maybe more so for the wrapping paper, but excited none the less. I also am excited about spending the Holiday's with Dave and Emma, they are very special to me and I want to see them excited also (No dirty comments about Dave getting excited People). I want to Wish all of you a wonderful Chirstmas. I have probably 6 years worth of Christmas cards setting in my closet, I but them every year and send them never!! So Very Merry Christmas and may you get Excited for Christmas Also!!!! I love you all!

Working with the Nearly Departed

So as some of you may know I've been temping for the last 3 months with a company that was bought out and all the people around me are being let go. Actually they brought me in because to many people had quit or been let go already and they needed someone who could do it all. In walks me:). Well it turns out that even though I've onnly been here a short time I am going to miss these people. Some of them have been with the company for like 30 years. To add to feeling of sadness I think I am going to be offered a job with the company that bought them out. That makes me Estatick, but before I even applied for the recomended position I made sure none of these guy's wanted it. I feel good and bad about the whole thing. Well I guess I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Life as I see it

OK so this morning I was really ticked at a guy I have to do a lot of work for. Mostly I have to do work for him because he is a pain in the butt!! So this morning I found myself asking, "Why should I give a rat's patootie". What the heck is a rats patootie? I mean I have said a lot of odd thing inmy life, most notably a comment about my being a blow fish to an ex-boyfriend!! But what on earth an I doing using the word Patootie, mush less rat's patootie?!?!?! I told Dawn that I believed I had let my membership to the Bad girls Club lapse, and apperently it is non renewable after that. I am just going to have to by a hundai and settle in to Soccer Mom Status after this little slip!!!

Saturday in the City

As Joey and I were heading down town I actually remembered to bring a pocket full of singles so that I could give them to Joey to put in peoples hats down in the El stations. He was so cute. He sang Silent Night with one guy and danced for a couple of others. He also kept an eye on a womans bags shen she stepped away and she paid him a dollar. I was dying because all these people were telling how wonderful my kid was. I really wanted to say, "Hey you should see him when he is in his usual Evil Troll mode". I did manage to let them keep their illusions of my "Perfect" little Troll.

Christmas Is Comming

So this past Saturday I took Joey to Downtown Chicago. We went to see the magic window at Marshal Fields, yes FDawn I know it is so wrong because it will be Macy's soon, I did not enter the store because I value my pocket book too much. We also checked out this cute German village they have set up in the Daley Plaza. Joey got a wooden frog that sounds like a frog when you run the stick over it's back. Unfortunatly we ran into a friend of my Aunt Carole's and she was so happy to see us, I have no clue who she is!!! It was rather embaressing because I just kept saying yes mama, no mama. I as so bad with names!!! Well TTFN Hope you are all having a great Holiday season.
