first meal

ok...i thought that i would not do this, but I could not pass up this picture of little May. She was eating her first meal of cereal and Jeff snapped this cute picture...will write more later.... 

Update...

So, I bought the dress today. Feel very very fancy and exited. Other than that- nothing to report at all. It has been painfully slow at work today and the only redeeming thing is that we have Spoleto this week and the office has been so relaxed. YeaH. Makes it better, but still I have almost ripped my hair out several times this week due to absolute boredom. Let me make a list of the websites that I have visited today so far:

vibeboutique.com
gap.com
oldnavy.com
shopbop.com
thecharlestonmls.com
eychner.com
msnbc.com
google.com
cnn.com
bankofamerica.com

number of times that i have heard certain songs on the radio

Mary j blige- Be with you (4)
Hips don't lie- (4)
Promiscous Girl (3)
hmmmmm......

American Idol must be the only thing newsworthy today, because that is ALL that has been on MSNBC today (which by the way is right in front of my desk)

so- i hope that tomorrow is faster/better/whatever! I am going numb and dumb over here.

The Dress.

Today I found The Dress. You know the dress that makes you feel fabulous, it is timeless and you will treasure it always. Power dress. I did not purchase it becuase we are kind of in a crunch right now and that would be a definite splurge. But, Jeff said that if I was still thinking about it in a few days that I could get it- an investment he called it. SOOOOO. I have the nicest husband in the world. Let's just see if I still am thinking about it in a few. Hmmmmmmmm......Pretty Pretty

Maya Hirsh

Yesterday, I received the worst kind of news. My dear friend Melanie's 4 year old niece was killed in a hit and run accident in Chicago. Words can not describe my sadness for Danit and David, their two little boys and the rest of the Steinbach family. Trying to come up with something positive to say to Mel was not easy, nor was there anything to say. I will continue to pray for them in this time of grave despair and may one day they feel a sense of peace and understanding of what has happened. Danit and her children were leaving the Lincoln Park zoo when a driver ran through a stop sign and hit all three of them. Little Maya was dragged behind the car and was killed from trauma to the head. This has outraged the community of Chicago because this was a well known traffic area that people routinely blew through and disregarded all of the signs. I will never know the pain that they feel, but I do hope that they feel the love and support from friends and acquaintances. God Bless them today and forever. And to little Maya- We love you and miss you.

All better....

So, after re-reading my last blog, i feel like i may have been a little too dramatic. I do have friends, and I have lots to do. Just sometimes it is hard because i still wish that it was easier to see people and coordinate activities than it is. Like college-remember how many hours you spent wasting time? I do not know what I would do with myself if i had a quarter of that free time. It sounds frighteningly boring.
Our weekend was really great- went to the pool and had a ball with May. I need to figure out how to upload some pictures to make the blog a little more interesting and show you how cute she was in her float. That night we had dinner with Eliz. G. We had a wonderful supper and it was one of the first times that we have been able to hang out like that in a relaxed setting. Eliz is smitten with a new man, and i am thrilled for her--these are the fun stages in a relationship when everything is an adventure.

no body likes me...

why don't i go eat some worms?
today, i am having a pity party, really with no merit behind the pity. i am tired, grumpy, it is a pretty day, and i have no one to hang out with. wah. wah. wah. my husband can go out when he wants, and i have to coordinate a babysitter and we have no money..wah wah wah. plus, all of my friends have lives and i do not except for my precious little boodle who i love so much. there. i said it. feel a little better. i am just tired of always being by myself.

Baby Brain

Ok, today I have been a complete moron at work. Spaced out; Zoned; whatever you want to call it, I am it today. And honestly, I can not figure out why. I really believe that two clients may close their accounts because I was not able to efficiently explain why their accounts were messed up. Well--not really, but you get the point. Help! How do I permanently un-tongue tie myself!!!

Britney..Britney...Britney

Ok. I feel like such a loser for admitting that I care about celebrities and their dumb lives at ALL, but Britney really needs to get a clue before going out in public with her child. I mean really; I get nervous that my child may poop in the pool therefore i double swimmy her for God's sake, and here Britney is driving around town, with the car seat the WRONG way and in a convertible. Where is the child's hat? I think that is more irresponsible than having him the wrong way--there is a chance that he could be big enough to be turned around at least. But no hat or cover??? Would you do that to your child??? Enough on that. She just needs to ask herself before she walks out the door--"Am I doing anything dangerous to my child that will land me on the cover of every magazine/newspaper known to man and do I care?".

The one left out......

You know the feeling of when you graduate from school and then you go back for a game and the same people are there, but everything else feels different? As if you do not belong anymore? Well, today is my second day back on the job at the big ole bank and that is how I am feeling at the moment. Sitting at my desk, same calls-problems-etc but everything else feels a little off-odd. Maybe that is a good sign that I have changed over the last 3 1/2 months, that my priorities are not here, but at home. Who knows? But one thing is certain, things are drastically different and I am happy to be the one leaving and not the one left.
