I swear time has come to a grinding halt.
Work has been SO SO SO SOOOOOO boring lately. Nothing is going on. I can barely fill a day with work. Seriously. Then, I have to ask for all this extra shit to do. Oh well. I start something new tomorrow, so I am very hopeful that it will fill 2-3 more hours in my day. I almost wish something would break, so I could have something or other to do that is interesting.
I DID remember my rant from the other day and it goes like this (this won't be a 'Colin-style' rant): Hey, Comedy Central! Go fuck yourself! You pull Futurama from CN, who showed the cartoon at a decent time of night (10pm) and you go and play it at 7 pm, because you can't pull time away from your fake news programs at that time of night. Oh, and you fucked over MST3K and took that away from me too. Jerks.
See, not bad. I just miss watching Futurama.
Being pregnant = wine drunk (Yakob, you know what I mean). I seriously have that 'wine drunk' rage going on sometimes. Like Friday, for instance. I was ready to drink a beer at 8 am on friday I was so pissed. And then, just like magic, GONE!
One more week until doctor. Then, i will poked and have things and areas looked at and...yuck. Donating body fluids and such too. sick. But, at least I get an ultrasound for dating purposes (to see how far along I am REALLY), and I'll get to see something.
Being pregnant also = HUNGRY!!!!! When I am hungry, I HAVE to eat RIGHT NOW!!!
Okay, well, anyway, I think that I have done enough damage for tonight. I ate a shit load of Qdoba tonight, so I feel like throwing up now. sick.

I totally wanted to rant today...
but now, I can't remember what I was going to rant about. It was gonna be good too.
Oh well.
Thanks for all the congrats and stuff. It's pretty different, I'll tell ya. I'm so tired all the time. I get more tired and more tired over the week. Like, Monday, I could be up until 10:30, then Tuesday, 10, then last night, I was fighting to stay up until 10:15pm and now, tonight, I am already tired at 8pm. Gosh.
I have cats on me right now and I'm watching Futurama, which is sweet.
I'm going to go ahead and recommend a movie to everyone, if you haven't seen it: Grandma's Boy. Totsweet.
It's Adam Sandler's production company and it's starring that guy who was his best friend in The Wedding Singer -- the one that's in a lot of his movies. Maggie got it for Jake for Christmas and it was pretty much hilarious.
Finally, I talked to Nims today, post surgery, and he sounded really great, so that was awesome. I'm really glad that he came out of it better. Science is amazing.
Okay bye.

New Year's Resolution #1....In Progress
That's right. I said it.
I'm going to be someone's mom. And Jake is going to be someone's dad. Scary, huh? ha ha.
We're having a baby. Due mid-September. So, let's be honest, now my blog will be mostly devoted to yapping about that, but I'll try to keep it to a minimum.
To be honest, I knew the minute I was. I had heartburn at work. I never have had heartburn in my life, except for three weeks ago. Among other things. Like being fraking tired all the time. And hungry.
So, I'm almost 6 weeks along. Another many many many weeks to go.
To be truthful, I'm not too excited about everything yet, because it doesn't really seem real. I'm not terribly different and life is pretty much same as normal, except I can't drink, obviously. Which, for me, is a huge giveaway that something is going on. Because I usually drink.
My first doctor appt is on Feb. 5th. I'll be 8 weeks then, so I'm hoping that will be enough time to see something going on down there.
We told our families -- well, I wanted to wait, but I knew I'd have to, because of the 1/2 Marathon. I told a little white lie -- a lie of omission, if you will. I didn't finish the 1/2 Marathon, this is true. This is because I did not run/walk/anything. I trained all of 2007 for something I ended up not being able to do. That kind of sucked and I was disappointed about that. I guess it was for a good reason, but still. I better have a baby in 9 months or I'll be pissed. PISST!!!
I'm waiting to tell work until at least after my doc appt, but I don't want to wait to long because they will need to know, since my 12 week leave will fall over the back part of 2008. I counted. I'd have to be back at work on Dec. 8th or something -- like 3 weeks before Christmas. I wonder if I'll be able to keep my job. Yikes. I was thinking about asking to work from home sometimes too. Plus, I have to let work know sooner, because my dad wants to brag that he's going to be a grandpa to people at work too. :)
So, anyway. You know. all that. In other news, we got a very nice phone message from Nimbies Bro-in-law saying that he made it through the surgery and was doing really well and Sis-in-law was doing well too. Nims gave him a list of people to call and say that he was good and I was grateful. I would have worried. I'll probably call his BIL back and say thanks for calling and see when Nims is okay to speak to people on the phone.
My dad is coming over to help us start on the basement tomorrow morning before the big game and then we are going to the house of family friends to watch the game -- back in the 90's, we used to go over there all the time to watch games and I don't even remember the last time we were there to watch. I'm looking forward to it. I'm not sure how people will be sitting out at that game. It's SO COLD outside. I'm still freezing right now and I'm wrapped in a blanket and sweater and I'm still wearing my hat.
Anyway, I'm going to wrap it up here. Feel free to leave a message. :)

It's Cold
Guess what -- IT's COLD!!!! Jeeebus.
IT was icy on the way home today too. I went sideways on a hill for a little bit, but I stopped eventually.
Also, I have a cold. Just a little one. That kind of sucks. I have now determined that I get sick from going from warm to cold very quickly. That or flying on airplanes. My mom is sick too -- sicker than I.
Rul rul excited for Packers on Sunday night. That's going to be one of hell of a game.
And now I have to go.

I need a vacation from this vacation
Well, I have returned from Florida! I was a good time. I didn't do as well as I hoped in the Marathon, but that's okay.
The weather when we arrived was in the 80's for three days! It was amazing. I made Jake wear shorts one day. The first day, we were up at 5 and out by 5:30 am and were down in Florida by 12 noon.
Thursday:
noon: Lunch in Pepper Market at the hotel (most amazing Chicken quesadilla I've ever had)
rested in hotel room
2:30pm: Bus over to Animal Kingdom to see the animals, etc etc etc. Did some of the fun rides there
5 pm: Back to hotel to change for din-din
6: Dinner at the Animal Kingdom Lodge
Then, bed.
Friday:
Noon to 9:30pm: EPCOT! My most favorite place down there. I love the retro-ness of 'Future World" and the World Showcase. Spaceship Earth (in the big golf ball) is my favorite ride. I love that thing. Rode it twice while there.
Saw the fireworks at 9: Illuminations. Had a good spot for them totally by accident.
Where did we eat dinner....hmmmm.....Italy. Had Penne Caprese, which was penne with tomato sauce, basil and fresh mozzarella. Amazing.
Saturday:
1/2 Marathon
Spent time at MGM and then rested a lot. Oh yeah! And we went to Downtown Disney to the ESPN Club and sat outside near the entrance and watched the snow storm Packer Game in 70 degree weather. woot! And they won and it was amazing!
Dinner was at Artist Point at the Wilderness Lodge near Magic Kingdom. Next time we go down to Disney, we will be staying at Wilderness Lodge. It was so pretty there.
Sunday:
Hung out all morning and afternoon. I know that we might have done something, but what I don't remember...Oh yeah! Went back to ESPN club for a light snack of lunch (which turned out to be WAY too much food) and then watched the charger/colt game -- watched the rest at the hotel and went out to the Magic Kingdom at 5pm and did the fun rides -- Pirates, Haunted Mansion, etc. Watched the fireworks at 8 pm right from the grounds and then ate in the Comtemporary Resort at California Grill -- they were out of the dinner that Jake and I both wanted, so that sucked. PLUS! 9:30 pm is WAY too late for a dinner reservation, unless you're European or South American.
Monday:
Back to Epcot for lunch and walked around the World Showcase once more. Then, back to hotel, as were were all wiped out. Ate dinner at the restaurant at the hotel and it was bedtime.
This morning, we were up at 4:45 am Eastern time (think about THAT), and here I am sitting on my couch, typing this at 1 pm. Jake is napping upstairs. The cats are extremely happy that we are home. They are laying over on the other end of the couch, looking content. :)
The only bad part of the whole trip was the constant eating and I am now 5 pounds heavier than when I left. So, I need to hope on the treadmill and start walking two miles a day. Plus, I need to do that anyway. I'll start tonight, I think. It'll be good. :)
Anyway, I'll have the pics I took on Facebook soon. maybe. If I remember. I have to go back to work tomorrow, so we'll see if I remember or not. woot. I should really do some laundry. I don't have any clothes left.

Happy New Year!
Thanks to all the silly people in EC who talked to Jake for an hour yesterday and almost froze him. We did really want to be up there for New Year's, because most of the time, it's the only time that we see everyone, but it was not in the cards this year. :(
However, I am 9 days away from going to Florida and running that stupid half marathon. Too bad that I've been sick with the flu (or something...) for the past 5 days. I try to run on the treadmill and I get dizzy. I'm pretty much just going to wing it. My dad thinks it's a bad idea, but that's because he's twice my age and he couldn't do it. I will recover. Or, in reality, I will be too slow and they will pull me off the course. Which is pretty much like, whatever.
My dad is also going to run with me (or walk...) the whole way. I don't know how I feel about that. I like to go out alone, so that will probably put me off my game even more. Oh well. I guess that I'll get over it.
At least I only gained 2-3 pounds over the holidays here. That was a positive sign for me. I don't have to worry about having gained a bunch of weight right before I go out. Now, I just need to not gain 5 pounds while in Florida, which is what happened last time I went (2004) and is what started this whole mess of me having gained all this weight in the first place. Every extra 5 pounds and you think, that's it! I'm not gaining any more weight...and then it's another 5 pounds, until you're 30 pounds more than you started at. whoops.
Anyway, I think that I'll set some goals for myself this year (1 & 2 are kind of contradictory, but that's okay)
1. Have my first child
2. Lose 20 pounds over the course of 2008 (see? they contradict)
3. Keep running/walking
4. Pay off the tuition credit card
5. Save $1000
Those are all more long term. Short term goals include: starting and finishing the basement room, finish painting the upstairs, get all the boxes put away around the house, get a new kitchen sick, buy new living room furniture
Those aren't really goals, those short term ones, just more stuff that I want to get done. And I guess that's kind of a goal in some small way.
Well, I'm going to move on today, but I just wanted to say Happy New Year and I hope that everyone's 2008 is amazing. I think that mine will be. :)
