Until now.
Because I get to be in Brookie's wedding, which I am very excited about. And she picked out a fabulous dress last night, which I LOVE!!! It's totally better than any dress I had looked at so far. Click here and pick the blue/black combination.
It's really "I just had a baby" friendly, plus, it will look cute on the skinnier girls too, I think. IDK, I have plans to go look in person. I can't really try it on right now. It wouldn't make sense. We might just have to visit GB sometime soon and I'll drag Kristine down to Appleton to look at said dress.
Plus, Brooke is going to let me make her invites (as a gift, of course). I have several ideas (side note: I just got kicked in the ass from the inside) already, but it really involves buying things, which I should wait a bit on that. However, I'm thinking that it would be good to have everything that I will need by June 1, so I can get to work in the times that Ryan is sleeping.
Well, it's a good Saturday. I slept pretty well and there's LOTS of day to get stuff done today. :)

Random Thoughts
It occurred to me today, while on my daily perusal of F-book that I turn frickin' THIRTY this year. Geezus.
Thank god that I'll be able to drink. I certainly couldn't drink last year. And really all I did for my birthday was lay on my parents couch and eat the first real food that I'd eaten in a very long time. I was just glad not to feel like death for once.
I think my birthday is on a Tuesday this year? Or Monday? Mondays suck. And I can't even take it off, because I have no time left. Well, I am taking time right before Labor Day weekend, for Brookie's wedding (which I am IN! sweet!), so I need to try to conserve as much as possible.
I was also thinking this morning that I would never feel like I had slept well ever again. With the baby coming in May, it's probably true. Makes work really hard though. Seems like our tech lead (the position I had applied for back last summer and went to someone who was MUCH MUCH more qualified than I was) is thinking about retiring a year earlier than she thought, because her parents left her a nice inheritance that she can use to supplement her income for the year before she turns 65. So, she turns 62 in April, so she'll probably retire in 2011. Which is only two years away and frankly, it will probably be right around the time that I am ready to move up again. Although, I may get frustrated with the current job and look for something I can do part time at home, if need be.
The cat is perfectly fine again. We weighed him last week and he was 20.8 pounds, which is down a whole pound from when he had his teeth out. And you can REALLY tell the difference. A lot. He's much easier to pick up. I will probably make a habit of weighing him on the weekends, so we know where he is. Losing a whole pound in a month for a cat really is not good, but he was sick, and now we're just trying to keep the trend going. If he weighs 19 pounds by the end of the year, I think it will be a good thing. I'm really going to try hard with him now.
So...we're under a Winter Storm warning today. I didn't even know it was supposed to snow! oops! Oh well. What can you do? Jake went up to GB last night, to hang out with Josh. So, now he'll have to drive back through the snow. At least he has the good car for that sort of thing. Really test out that all wheel drive on that Saturn.
I suppose I should call him to see when he's headed out. I bet that he doesn't know that it's only going to get worse as he comes back south.
