party leftovers are EVIL!!

I think we need to make a new rule. Once the party is over, give away as much food as you can (which I did on sunday) but THROW AWAY all the rest.

Man, I ate sooo many chips with salsa and spinach dip, cheese doodles, and after dinner mints yesterday that my bowels have practically shut down. oi! (and beleive me, i’m not kidding about that) not to mention the hot dog and huge burger I had at 1am!

Although I am hungry, I think I’ll skip meals today as long as I can stand it. and then only have a soup or something later for lunch … or something.

Jada’s Birthday Party

It was a success.. :) Actually, I think if anymore people has shown up, it would have been too crazy. there were 2 other toddlers there and they had some great fun. Lubo’s son especially was having fun and playing with J. well.. as much as toddlers know how to anyway. They did get possesive over the toys at some points but it was over things like the tricycle and the bigger balloons. But still they had tons of fun especially in J’s tent. I took some footage of it :) so cute.

Now we’re going to IHOP and hopefully to J’s dr. after that if I can get an appt for her today. I noticed yesterday that J’s big toe nail on one of her feet is separated completely from her toe. but it’s still attached at the base. soooo gross. I dunno when it happened but i think it was when she fell in the parking lot. I just dunno how she could have walked around with that thing like that without pain. LOoking back , tho, I can think of a couple times she was rolling around on the floor barefoot and started to wail for no reason. Must have been that toe. eeeesh!!

But anyways, she had great fun and it was relaxing and fun for D and I too.. sooo unlike the first birthday party which put a bad taste in my mouth. and YAY!! it’s over!

tired as fuck

J’s party is tomorrow and despite only expecting 10 people over we got an enormous amount of food. Well at least it seems like an emormous amount. well, if you were to add up the eating potential of the people who will be attending, we’re looking at 14 and that’s not including D, J and I.

I hate putting together parties. but I love when they’re over. May tomorrow be a smooth, not too stressful, and quick day.

I just realized that it’s after midnight and officially the 24th. Jada’s officially 2 years old!!!

back to my normal shift

thank god!

well, i gotta admit it was nice to wake up with J and make a nice morning with her. we went to denny’s, went to the park, and played leggos and stuff. But my patience and energy reserves ran out after 3pm.

anyways, we finally got that precious, double-edge’d sword of a call from the daycare that said “we got room for yer dawdah .. so get ready to pay outta yer yin-yang for it”. yay! she starts next month.

feeling good ‘n stuff.

I don’t know why, but I feel good. My spirits are up and I feel energentic.

Isn’t it bad when you notice feeling good instead of feeling bad? Kinda makes it seem like I feel crappy more often than I feel good. LOL!! Well, I don’t usually EVER feel energetic.

I have mixed feelings about working 2nd/3rd last night. I drank 2 cups of coffee and gave myself indigestion so I wasn’t feeling all that great, but it was nice to work around a different set of people for a change. I was there till 2am and left cuz I was beginning to fall asleep in my chair. I was no longer any use to anybody there besides that concluded my 8 hour obligation to the company for one day.

I got to ride in N’s new car. very nice car, I think. We had a convo about how dangerous an accident in dennis’ car would be for J. My God, now I’m freaking out. I had thought we could put off getting a minivan for as long as we could. maybe even as far down the road as a year from now. Supposing I get pg this month, then I wouldn’t be ready to go back to work from maternity leave till about this time next year THAT’S when we’d need the minivan. But… now i’m all worried about accidents and Dennis’ car.

I spent quite some since last week, tweeking some more things on my personal website. Not all the content I want on it is done, but I finally got a few of the modules and components behaving the way I wanted. The last bit I worked on was a module menu tree thingy. It would display content and remove the right hand side menus. I had to hack the code to make it keep the menus. LOL! it was NOT rocket sience. I added something like &Itemid-74 to the end of the url line in the css file. jesus. even the tiniest amount of webknowlege goes a long way.

Next, I want to add some kind of journal for something I want to start logging (as if 3 journals weren’t enough already!) Not sure exactly what I want to do just yet. Maybe I’ll decide tonight while sipping more crap-o-matic coffee with the masedonians.

Jada’s mishap yesterday.

D took my laptop this morning for work and now i’m trying to use his freakin imac but I just HATE HATE HATE the way the mouse handles on this thing. It almost seems like it’s got 2 rates of speed. One when you move normally, and the other when you’re moving slow. the slow is sloooooooooow. the ‘normal’ is ok but the slow just throws me.

GAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT!!!! !@#$@#%$!#$!!!!!

ALRIGHT, now that I’ve got that out…

Yesterday was not a fun day for us. We went out for breakfast and then to BJ’s to get some stuff for J’s birthday party and then to publix to order the cake. (it’s gonna be a super small party ,btw. thank god!) I didn’t even invite anybody in my family! (is that bad?)

So anyways, on the way back out to the car after ordering the cake, Dennis takes J outta the shopping cart and puts her on the ground, then she takes 2 steps towards me and didn’t realize she was on the curb. She walked right off it and fell flat on her face. I wasn’t sure if she was really hurt but she sure was screaming her little head off. Then I picked her up and saw the blood. :( Her lower lip was cut on the inside and there was a about a 1cm gash on the outside. Blood was pooling in her mouth and i thought she must have knocked a tooth out or something and that her teeth must have cut right through to the outside.

We ended up taking her to the ER. By the time a doc saw her she wasn’t crying anymore, it had stopped bleeding, and that little gash had glued itself shut. (dam, kids heal fast!!) the doc looked at it and said they’d do more damage at that point if she were to try to stitch it. So she just put a little dermabond on her cut below her lip, and that was it. the whole ordeal took us 3 hours, I think. She was real weepy after that, but she got over it around 7pm. So our plans of going home and turning on the sprinker thingy for her in the back yard and relaxing went out the window.

Btw, if anybody thinks an ER visit costs $500 with cigna hmo, you’re wrong. D & I both thought that was the case. But it was only $50. THANK GOD!

In other news, I work some weird hours between today and thursday. Something like 6pm to 2 am or whatever it is. Cuz D is in MS training. :( I don’t think i’m gonna like those hours.
