1. Spy....take a peek of Kenny's cute tush for me.

2. Sage that rock is incredible.

3. Nice to see you around Hermi.

4. Kaili is there a baby yet?

5. TGIF

6. This whole gestational diabetes thing is kinda confusing. It's not really confusing, just questions once you get going.

1. I am out of luck for a summer class.

2. The internet courses are closed, and pretty much all that's left is day classes which won't work with the kids home for the summer.

3. The fall semester is looking pretty good though. During the fall I can take classes during the day since the fall semester starts the week after the kids go back to school. That would actually work out great since I wouldn't have to worry about working around Darren's schedule and wouldn't have to worry about finding a babysitter if he can't get home in time.

4. I've got to go out later and clean my sister's house and carpets since we're having a birthday party there tomorrow. She's getting spoiled, or even more so, lol. Our friend is having his daughters graduation party at her house so he's supposed to be over later to do some yard work.

5. I need to come up with a list of activities for the kids summer break. Baseball will be over in three weeks, school in two and they're going to need something to do to keep busy.

6. My world has gone nuts today. The trash man who usually comes around 6am has just now come by, and the mailman who usually shows up about 3:30pm, has already been here.

7. My sweet angel is not being so sweet today. She hasn't really been bad, just not her usual cheerful self.

1. She had her baby...finally.

2. She called me at noon today after having had a little sleep.

3. Twenty three hours in labor! Poor thing!

4. It's a boy- a little over 8 lbs and they didn't tell her his length (or she forgot already!).

5. His name is Leif Edwin B.

6. I can't wait to see him! I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning to go down so she can get some rest at the hospital today and tonight.

7. She said her husband literally had cuts up and down his arms and she pulled some hair out of his head. I don't feel too bad for him- she was the one doing all the work.

8. I'll post a picture once I see him. yay. :-)

1. congrats to kaili's friend! love babies!

2. my cousin who is pregnant and not due til the end of august, started to go into premature labor earlier this week (i just found this out today), doc thought it was braxton-higgs contractions, but luckily she went to the hospital. they have her on bed rest until she has the baby, as she was dialated to 4cm already. can't remember what it is they gave her, but it slows everything down. she says she has a peaceful feeling that the baby will be ok. still thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

3. i forgot to mention in my post yesterday, that when i gave blood i noticed something on my sheet that said (under attributes) CMVN. so i asked what the freak that meant. and they told me my blood tests were negative for the cyto-megalo virus. not knowing what that meant, i got on the internet, and apparently 80% of the population tests positive to this virus, which is related to the herpes and chickenpox viruses. i guess that is a good thing? weird. i have had the chicken pox. so i don't know how, but whatever.

4. i rented some movies for the weekend: monster, chasing liberty, and amy's o. i'll let you guys know how they were.

5. we found out at work today about yet another change to the scheduled plant shut down in 2 weeks. it has been a big mess. i had to set through a heated meeting today. luckily, i don't have attendance problems, so it is all ok by me.

6. i hope spymom's puppy is ok.

7. the apartment pool is still not opened! wonder if they are planning on opening it any time this summer? grrrrrrr

8. my little niece's 5th birthday party is next sunday. her theme this year is hello kitty.

9. it is supposed to rain all weekend long. :-( gag! oh, but it will be lovely weather again on monday, just in time for work.

hope all my fellow factoids have a great weekend!

1. I'll do 10...and start off where jbeany left off....hello Fellow Factoids...hope you all have a great weekend ahead!

2. I am happy to announce that I received a kind and generous offer for the new position and I said 'yes'.

3. Yay me!!

4. My Admin took the news really well and she was very happy for me as this is a nice little promotion.

5. She has the right to keep me from 15-30 days and she opted for the 30 days like any great Admin would...LOL!

6. I'm okay with the 30 days because I've been through employees leaving us and I do know how difficult it can be at times when there isn't a replacement set in place.

7. Admin asked me to break the news to my co-workers and I asked if I could do it on Monday and she thought today was better because good news travels fast and she didn't want them hearing something over the weekend.

8. So Admin walked into our main office with me and I broke the news to my six co-workers. I saw three jaws drop open and one of my co-workers started crying. Aww man..I felt so bad, so I walked over to her and assurred her that I would still have lunch with her and be seeing her around the hospital.

9. My new job function oversees our 300 high school volunteers. I'll do the interviews, the 'hiring', the orientations and overseeing them while they are running around the hospital from 4-6pm.

10. I do get a gorgeous office on the 4th floor in the new building and we'll be moving there in mid-August just after my current department moves in on the first floor. Sometimes I just have to pinch myself and give thanks.

I haven't been here in a long time, so I'm doing 10!

1. I've been very stressed lately work wise. Major projects loom ahead and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. One big project will be out of the way next week, thankfully.

2. I'll be leaving for Atlanta on Thursday. Driving no less because I'm bringing about 400 pounds of display for the trade show. So that's 9 hours each way.

3. But on the bright side, the main office called me today and said if I get the information to them, they'll have a check cut for the hotel room. Yipee! No having to wait to be reimbursed.

4. Another bit of exciting news: I booked my airfare to Nova Scotia today and invoice will go straight to office! Yippee Kayeah!!! Another time I won't have to wait for reimbursement.

5. I'll be getting into Halifax on July 28th and leaving Aug 4th, with a possibility of changing departure to August 10th. I really don't want to be gone that long, so we'll see.

6. My son has been at his Dad's since Wednesday. I'm a little lost being home alone. But he's coming home tonight! Yeah!

7. This weekend I need to clean house, clean car and work in the yard, plus I have office work I need to do.

8. I have a feeling I'm not going to accomplish everything I have on my list.

9. I would also like to sneak some time to see the movie Shrek II. I'm dying to see it.

10. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Congrats to babies being born & job promotions!

0.5. Jbean, my mom was the same as your cousin with me- the last three months she had to be on bedrest and was dilated 4 cm.

1. Congratulations Egg-mom! Whah-hoo!!

2. And on another note, one of my fish jumped out of the tank (!!!!!) last night. There's a maybe 1 inch gap between the hood and the filter, I heard a splash and there he was, sitting on the counter. Not eve flopping really. I swear le looked at me like he was just patiently waiting for me to put him back. I don't know how he managed to get out of that little hole. I'm renaming him. Nemo

Good thing I took off work last night- i can't imagine coming home to a dried up, yellow fish. Ugh. He;s about 3 inches long- not tiny.

2. I had a great night last night- coffee and POA with a good friend! The movie was AWESOME. And I did quite the good job, if I do say so myself! Hermione Rocks!

3. Today is my nephew's birthday! The party is tomorrow, but I am on my way over there.

4. Go Smarty Jones!!

1. I am so worn out! Exhausted, but not really tired.

2. Caleb's party was a big success. With the exception of little bro and his family who did go camping, everyone invited showed up. Since his birthday and parties usually fall on memorial day weekend, and people having plans having a big turn out for his party was nice for a change.

3. He now has somewhere around 1,700 new lego peices, lol. Everyone who asked what he wanted got the same reply..legos. It's the one thing he enjoys above all others.

4. Sis tried to chase me out of the house. After everyone had left, I started to clean up. She told me she'd take care of it tomorrow, but there was no way after letting us use her house I was going to leave a mess. I am very glad we took her up on her offer to have it there. Yep, I have my own house I could have parties in, but she has 1/2 acre of land so the kids have lots of room to run around.

5. I do feel like the world's worst mommy though, lol. We got home around 10:30 and the kids were just worn out. Both of them are filthy! Dakota had broken down about 20 minutes before we left sobbing, she had tear streaks running through the dirt on her face. I'm not talking normal kid dirty, they look like they went out and rolled in mud puddles. And we got home with them, I dressed them in their jammies and tucked them into bed. Filthy. Neither one of them would have made it through even a sponge bath.

6. Tomorrow I plan on doing absolutely nothing! I'm going to sit around an watch them put lego stuff together, and maybe watch a movie or read some of my book. Anything that doesn't involve moving at all, lol.

1. awww kaili, little leif is precious! what a doll! gotta love babies.

2. speaking of babies, my sis and bil bought my little niece a 6 wk old chihuahua puppy for her upcoming bday, and he is ADORABLE. we are in love with him! they named him pedro. lol

3. the storms and rain that were forecasted for all day today have suddenly disappeared from radar. woo hoo! that means i can lay out at the fitness center pool.

4. today is also laundry and grocery day. gag!

5. i made my own graphic tshirt yesterday. it is purple, it has horton the elephant on it, and it says "Junk In the Trunk". lol, cuz well, i don't really have the smallest behind.

6. i need to get in the shower and get my day started.

7. ronald reagan is the first former president's death that i remember during my life. weird.

8. i just had to type all this over, as i typed it all out and then hit "back" instead of "return" sigh..... will copy this time, just in case.....

8.3333 forgot to add, i watched chasing liberty last night, and monster on friday night. both were good, but i wouldn't recommend monster for the squeamish. i can see why charlize theron won the oscar for it. she was abosolutely amazing. wow!

1. Kaili, thanks for sharing those adorable pics of newborn Leif!! Pics like that just makes me realize just how quickly my 'newborns' grew up. Tell your friend to enjoy all the moments..even the crying jags because it's only a blink in your total life and you'll not even remember them later on...

2. Egbob and our two sons just went to do some mountain bike riding up above the Malibu area. I didn't go, because mountain bikes and I do not get along.

3. I have an appointment today for my hair...gonna get a cut and the color freshened up. I love getting my hair freshened up! Yay!!

4. Egbob bought Oscar this huge doggie pillow because it was a dirt cheap open item on the Sam's Club clearance shelf. Anyway, Oscar is sleeping right in the middle of it now and he looks so peaceful and content and sooo small on that huge doggie bed...LOL!!

5. I'm listening to No Doubt as I type this and man, Gwen can sing! I love her vocals/voice!!

6. Oh! I just remembered...today is my Mom's 69th birthday. I've got a little gift for her and she didn't return my VM about doing lunch today. I'll have to call her this morning and she if I can reach her. She's a very active Senior citizen...LOL!!

7. The reason I know my mom's exact age is because all through my life, she is quick to tell me that she's only 19 years older than me...LOL!! And yeah, I've got her sense of sicko humor...so you can blame her.

8. DS#1 has heard that two hiring managers are interested in seeing him and they will be contacting him next week...so keep you fingers and toes crossed that my ds will get a summer intern job in the aerospace field.

9. DS#2 will be leaving in 17 days for his summer college work study program. He'll be gone for 10 weeks and looks forward to the experiences ahead of him working with church youth and also participating with the daytime program the church provides for homeless people/families. He says this part will be the most humbling for him and I agree.

5) Can you say super relaxing weekend for luv? I knew you could!
6) Made some new pillows and a cover for my ottoman yesterday.
7) Haven't done a darn thing but start a load of laundry and catch up on TVCH today and it's 12:10 here!
8) My bestest bestest Girlfriend comes to visit in 12 days for a whole week, without her DH! Girl time it is!
9) I understand DS has really improved his grades this semester and may, just may, for the first time have all A's and B's!
10) Will wait for report card proof first before the big celebration!

Happy Sunday all!
