Holy crap...Im blogging!

Hi!

I have just a few minutes before I have to get ready for work, so here goes...

The shower was pretty much amazing. It seemed like all the ladies, young and old, had a great time. We ended up having around 50 people show up out of the expected and RSVP'd 70. The weather was shit!! It was very cold, snowy and windy. At times it was white out conditions. We were thankful for everyone that showed up considering the weather.

We had more than enough food. Again, we planned for 70. The boys liked the leftovers. I was able to give away a lot of what was extra. I think we finished off what we kept, last night. The ham was amazing so I didnt mind eating it for a few days.

The games went well. It was difficult to come up with games for so many people, but we managed to pull it off.

Gifts...OMG she got so many gifts. Jessica got pretty much everything she needed or wanted. My gift to her was to buy her what she didnt get. Wipe warmer, stroller, bottles.....somewhat little things. Now all we have to do is wait for baby so we can start using this stuff!! I forgot to mention that it took 5 vehicles to bring all her stuff home...including a Suburban truck that was jam packed! It was fun transporting on such a cold, blustery day.

Besides Eric, Im not sure if any of my local friends read this....I just want to thank you once again for all your help this weekend.

Work is good. I went to management and asked for more hours. I got 'em. I went from 27 or so a week up to 35. I wont complain about that. I think what they are doing is weeding out the call offs and the slackers. They are training me for 2 more positions this week bring the total up to 5. Yeah, I will be able to work in 5 departments by the end of the week. It makes me 'global'. *lol*

Im not too sure what else is new. Eric is amazing. I love him more everyday. Im thankful he puts up with my 'shit'. The weather sucks. Its cold and windy and there is snow. The highlight is that the sun is visible. This is important in the melting process.

All for now. I need to get ready to go learn something new at work. Yay!

I probably wont post again until the baby gets here. We are thinking he isnt going to wait until March 10th. (hes anxious to meet his grandma!)

Have a great Mardi Gras....

Peace out...

Sorry, m'love. Been...distracted.

I love you so much, and I wonder if you put up with more of my shit than I do yours...
