HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today is the birthday of one of my most favorite people in the world. Can you guess who it is????

I love you!!! Happy Birthday!

Working....

Hi Everyone! I am so sorry I haven't blogged lately. I have now started working full time, and as a result, I am pretty freaking busy. I have to tell you, I really like my job! There is no stress and the people I work with are so nice! Not a bad gig.

Ok, to my regular readers:

Yvette- I hope you are well and the kids are thriving. Thanks for reading. Sorry I suck at keeping up!

Tony- I am glad you come up every other weekend or so or I would never talk to you anymore. I miss our MSN chats.

Michelle- Are you going to Iraq? You look amazing! Keep up the great work!

Jerry- I can't wait to see you in a few weeks!!! WOOOOOO! Go Cowboys!

Eileen- Oh my gosh, just a few more days! I am so excited for you, and as a mother who misses her daughter very much, I can just imagine the joy in your heart. I share your joy, Eileen, and I am so happy for you.

Dad- Are you enjoying your XM radio? I hope it doesn't suck! HAHA!

Novella and Delfin! My silent readers! I love you guys and can't wait to see you next month!!!

Does anyone else read??? If so, post and be known! I love you all so much! Bear with me, once I get a regular schedule, I will post more often.

Peace!

Another Career Offer for Monica

Because I love her, I figured I would help Monica in finding new career fields in case her current job doesn't fulfill her.

Halloween is Almost Here!

And to commemorate this special holiday (it's the only day Monica can leave the house and not get strange stares), here's a Simpson Halloween moment for you all. Enjoy!

NRO Autumn Ball

On Friday night Carlos and I attended the NRO ball. It was a lot of fun. If you would like to see pictures, here is a link to my old blog.

Wacky Ball Photos

We really had a nice time. Carlos showed off his killer dance moves. Next time I will bring the video camera!

In work news:
I am no longer a slave to small children and their rich parents. I now work here:

My New Job

Yes, now I am a slinger of gourmet food. Wooo! I start tomorrow. I have to take 11 more tests. I laughed and thought the girl was joking. No, I really have 11 more tests to take. I will have a BA in Grocery Arts when I am through.

Love you guys and hope you have a nice week! Did you enjoy the video? Amanda looks so sweet!

Extreme Skyflier

Yesterday we went to King's Dominion. Tony, Amanda and I went on the Extreme Skyflier. You can't hear Tony, but read his lips....he is saying....."I hate you guys. I really hate you guys"! HAHAHA! Enjoy!

Because I Care

As Monica suffers through Carlos' claims that he is "at his college weight" (I swear he says this all the time, which ends every argument with Monica running away crying afterwards)here is an article I found that will probably spread some light on the situation. We should get him some help.

Want a Trip to Australia?

Yea, I know. I'm going to Hell.

Something disturbing in the Force........

This horrifying scene is what I came upon this morning.




I don't know what's worse, Yoda's body in the stapler, or his decapitated head being forced to watch.

Gnarls

Gotta love me some Gnarls!


In work news, I decided the telephone route wasn't working, so I went in there to see what is going on. The lady pulled out my file and there were about 50 copies of a pamphlet called "Methamphetamine Addiction". She took them out and said they were misfiled. HAHAHA! Nice, freak out the new hires! Tomorrow I will go in and fill out the final paperwork. Then she said I have about 11 more tests to take on-line. Good Lord!!! Do I get a degree when this is all finished?

Some More of Monica in the Forest

Here are more pictures of Monica hanging out in the forest.


Look at the balance she shows. She was truly made to be in the wild.


Sadly, the person with the camera could not focus too well on Monica heading into the forest for the first time.

Zip Line

Yesterday I attended the field trip for Amanda's class. We got to go on a zip line! Wooooo! I will include some pictures:


Amanda looking irritated that her mother is taking her picture! "Mom! You suck"!

I decided that I looked "special" in my helmet. (Just like my son)

Walking across the wire....50 feet above the ground. Psh! I wished it was higher!
Amanda decided to dangle instead to pull herself over to the platform. Once you get to the platform, you are attached to another rope and get to zip down through the woods. Very fun!

In work news: there was an error with my social security number and they haven't been able to get my test results back. I am not worried about the results....but my last day at the sweat shop is Friday. Then I will be unemployed! Nooooooo! I have a cleaning lady I need to keep! HAHAHA! (Don't judge me, we all have our priorities). :)
