So I have been a slacker and have not updated in a while...sorry :(

Ya know how sometimes you meet people for the first time and you just get a feeling and you just don't like them? One of the girls who still works at the baby store is like that...anyway...she tried to tell me she knew ALL about what we were going through...although she had only tried for 1/2 as long...I am supposed to work at the baby store on Sat for the new guy - (it is his anniversary) and I realized this past weekend that the 17th (this Sat) is the year mark of when we lost our baby :( So the last place I'll really want to be on that anniversary is at a baby store. So I asked him if he could see if Feelings Girl to work for him instead. Well she threw a temper tantrum and demanded that I work for her the following Saturday and owe her one more....I'm thinking to myself...Um...you are not working for ME, honey...you're working for the new guy...HE should owe you not me...psycho. So I don't want to have her thinking that "Holly totally owes me" so I am just going to suck it up, take some Prozac and work Saturday.

Oh, did I mention that Feelings Girl is pregnant? Only like 10 weeks, but when she was 6 she was blabbing it to everyone...even customers. When she had her first ultrasound, she came in and asked me if it bothered me when other women talked about having babies, etc around me. I told her it didn't as long as they were not totally callous towards my feelings....well she proceeds to pull out her ultrasound and just go off on how great it is to be pregnant, etc...saying ALL the wrong stuff like "You just need to relax, that's what we did" or "Don't worry, you'll get your own someday"....ggrrrrrrr....

Now I have other friends who are good at the whole thing...they are happy for themselves but still aware that it might be painful for me so they are just nice about it...and man I wish they could teach classes to everyone on how to act because I KNOW I am not the only woman going through this out there!

Its like my other friend who started trying for a baby last spring and will have her baby this spring...she has this long sob story about how it took them so long...3 months?!? There are a TON of women who would KILL to only have to wait 3 months to get pregnant. And she then tells me she's pregnant through a mass e-mail. If she supposedly knows how hard it is to watch everyone around you get pregnant, and she didn't want me to have hard/mean feelings towards her when she got pregnant, couldn't she have at least sent me a separate e-mail, or called?!?

Sorry for the long rant...I have just been touchy, feely on the whole baby thing this past couple days. :(

Five Whole Years!!

So, this past Thursday, February 1st was our 5 year anniversary...can you believe it!? We had a hard time believing it...craziness...

So for our annivesary we had lunch where we had our wedding luncheon and then went to dinner at this awesome steak house...which is next to (and I believe owns) the place we had our wedding celebration (because we didn't have a typical reception...it was a big party with a Jazz Band and cake buffet...num num)

So in honor of the envent I thought I'd post a few wedding pics!

My Cute Brothers!

My Prince Charming!

...right??

The new job is going better...it helps that I work with some of the nicest people around... :) I have adjusted ok to the 'dress code'...hehe...I wear jeans, but usually with stilettos and LOTS of bangle jewelry...

I started thinking about something and wondered if anyone else has had this experience as well...if so, please share.

While job searching, I had several interviews where I never heard ANYTHING back...obviously I didn't et the jobs, but even a "Hey, sorry we thought you really sucked and we went with someone else" phone call would be nice...am I wrong?? I think if you take the time to go in and interview with a company they should at least have the courtesy and respect to let you know, even if they didn't pick you...right?

...lucky...lucky...lucky...

Not sure how many of you caught the Chargers-Patriots game on Sunday...but if you did you would have to agree that the Pats are LUCKY...they really should have lost that game...BUT, then you get down in the 4th quarter, behind in the score and you got Ice Man on your team so I shouldn't have worried...but I did, and Nathan didn't think they could pull it out... but I had faith in my guys and they did it...now it is on to the Colts this Sunday...this could be interesting...seeing as how the only points the Colts scored in their game on Sunday came from their kicker Adam V...who used to play for the Pats...that could make for some fun game chemistry on Sunday...

The new job is going ok, it is always a bit of an adjustment when you start something new...and I am ok. I cried earlier this week...I just felt so useless...I used to have a job where I was important, I planned big events, did financial stuff....HUNDREDS of people knew who I was...now I am just the 'Front Desk'....I feel like I got demoted :(

I am excited about a new gadget I recently acquired...it is the COOLEST candle warmer...it is a little lamp and it heats from the top...so you don't have to wait for the entire candle to melt before you get the fragrance...you get it within minutes! Here is a picture of it:

It is amazing what a little emotional shopping can do for your moods.

New Job!

So I have a NEW job!!
WoooHooo! I will be the front desk person for a local construction company. They have been around since 1935 and are active in the community - they donated a bunch to the ABC Extreme Home Makeover house they did here in October. It is not too glamorous, but it pays well...which will heal the financial ulcer I have acquired. :)

My first day is Monday...8am...I'll let you know how it goes!

The best part is that I will 'stay' at the baby store - but only as an 'on-call-no-one-else-is-available-to-cover-my-shift' type of thing for maybe one Saturday a month...BUT I will be able to keep my SUBSTANTIAL discount...which is also good...

Yipee for me!

PATS WIN!!

37-16 over the Jets.... Whoo Hoo...

Now we just have to beat the Chargers (unless the Giants win the Eagles, then it will be the Saints) next week....

GO PATS!

I'm alive

Sorry to not post for so long...I am alive.

A couple days after Christmas I started not feeling so well...then New Years Eve Eve it hit hard...and just didn't get better. I thought it was just a 24 hour flu-bug...but over a week later it hadn't gotten better (although the tummy-flu portion only lasted a day or so, much to my relief) So I finally broke down and went to the Dr...and I have a severe Sinus Infection...I am allergic to amoxicillin (sp?) so I am on a weird antibiotic, it isn't working too well, I still feel lots of pressure under my cheeks. I have days left on my drugs so we'll see...

In other news, tomorrow is my last day at the jewelry store and my last day at the baby store could be this Saturday :) :) :) I have had 2 interviews this last week...both went well, so we'll see what happens. :) I'll keep you posted!

Happy 2007

I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2007....may this year be better than last! :)
