and away we go....

1. big to moonie and kady and everyone else 2day.
2. i can't swim, i like getting in the water as long as it doesn't go above my shoulders, i do a semi tread water thing.
3. all of that was before i had kids and got fat, now i don't even own a swimsuit. i would like to learn to swim but don't know if i trust anyone to teach me other than d.h. and so far he refuses.
4. since some of my facts are a bit longer than usual i am using a period at the end, lol.
5. i started my new job today. i took a sleep aid last nite 'cause i knew i would end up staying away staring at the ceiling obsessing over the thought of starting over.
6. i am glad that i did take one, i may take another tonite cause i had a great nite sleep but was a bit drowzy this morning.
7. i hate being a new person. when i came home from work literaly dragging myself thru the door i told d.h. that i wasn't going back and he can't make me.
8. don't get me wrong the people were nice but there were a lot of them with different duties and right now i don't have a clue what my own name is.
9. i had to sit in on a staff mtg and the person in charge told everyone around the table to intro themselves as they gave their reports. i wanted to sink into my chair. i don't know what anyone does but i wrote their names down(the ones i could catch) and wrote the date on top of the page very nicely.
10. i didn't get my own pc till after lunch and miraculously i was able to get into my email. before that the supervisor gave me a copy of the organizational chart and a brief overview of the duties and then said she wanted me to write down which area i wanted to focus on(this would be so bad if this person was apart of the clubhouse, lol.) i wrote about 3 sentences that said i don't have a clue.
11. i know this is getting very wordy but i hope you all don't mind.
12. i had to follow someone from the parking lot to the building and then later spent about 10 minutes trying to find my way out of the building, then had to follow someone out. stay tuned to the continuing saga. im hoping i wake up and it will all be a dream......

4. i think she is evil....just kidding...well maybe a little bit.

5. i was nervous about going back to work after having last week off, because last year, the monday after thanksgiving, myself and my (then) closest friend (at work) were told that one of our positions would have to be eliminated at the beginning of the year.

6. guess who is still there?

7. i think my friend might have been the lucky one!...lol

1. Well, I'm totally depressed now and should be sleeping already but can't wind down from the day.
2. I went looking for the picture of me riding the elephant with my son when he was about 4 I guess. (This is not an easy task for me)
3. I was going to post it in my profile, as I hate my picture being taken and have very few of me in the last 10 years.
4. The picture was gone from the book, after I scoured 4 of them looking for it. I think I let my son use it for some project and either never got it back, or it's filed somewhere with the papers.. GRRRRRR.

It came from the State of Nebraska Governor's mansion. The curator told my hubby that it is from the bed that Debra Winger would sleep in when she would come to visit then Governor Bob Kerrey.
