10 o Clock and All’s Well
3 pages.. I had JUST typed three pages. Before I could hit submit, Aidan hit “POWER” on the computer.
SUCK.
As a recap:
I was in the paper yesterday for my job. My mom clipped the article and sent it to every man, woman and child we’ve ever breathed in close proximity to. How’s my job going? Well, I was advised by someone very important not to talk about *what* I do anymore. But I *can* tell you that I am SO happy. I absolutely love my job. Every morning, I get ready for work with a smile on my face, anxious to get back to my desk and pick up where I left off the day before. I’ve been there for almost 7 months now and I’m counting down the days until I’ve been there for 20 years. Am I lamely in love with my job? Yes. But I’ve always been lame so this is nothing new and should not come as a surprise to you.Next Saturday will be eventful.
1. STAR TREK, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. I’m cutting off my hair. Almost all of it. I’ve been growing it out for the Locks of Love foundation, and it’s finally long enough to make a 12 inch donation. If you’re not familiar with Locks of Love, they make wigs for kids with cancer and diseases that keep them from having hair. I’ll post before and after pictures.
Meanwhile, Derek is terribly distraught. He loves long hair and tells me I look like a boy when it’s short. In fact, he’s growing his own hair out, possibly as long as his shoulders. So I’ll be the butch and he’ll be the…. the… Well, we’ll just call him a 1990′s Michael Bolton look alike. I do love the Bolton.In other news, I”M STILL NOT PREGNANT! WOOT! To some of you who are new to my page, you’ll wonder why the heck I’m screamingly excited about this. Let me put it in perspective: I’ve been married almost four years and have had three kids. 41 months of marriage divided by 27 months of pregnancy.
IF drunks get little coins for staying dry, one day at a time- I think I deserve a coin too. It’s been almost two months, that’s a struggle for me. My poor body is so confused as to why there’s not another life in my womb yet. I noticed my belly attempting to absorb my son as he sat on my lap the other day. Pregnancy by osmosis.Mark your calendars: On Sunday May 17th at 1pm, we’re having a birthday party for Caitlyn. There’ll be sprinklers for the kids, BBQ for all and MUCH MUCH MORE!! (Did I sound like an infomercial? I was trying to.) If you’re reading this, you’re invited to attend. It’s been a year since our last XICS (Xanga Ice Cream Social) so maybe we’ll have another Xanga reunion.
Just how dedicated are you to your blogging society? BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

Ha, you’re gonna be the next Duggar mom. Lol.
I wish I could be at the XICS.
If you can postpone the XICS until the last week(end) of May, OM and I will be in town… Even if not, I intend to see you and the kiddos at least once, okay? Promise?
Congrats to you for donating to Locks of Love! I did it for the first time about two years ago right before I graduated college. It’s such an amazing organization. I can’t wait to see the pictures!
Say Happy birthday to Caity for Boulat, James and I! I wish we could be there. Unfortunately the commute from here to there sucks. You are too awesome.
I have a FEAR of cutting my hair. The result now being that I haven’t even trimmed it since two months after I got married. Its hip length now and I’ve been trying hard to work up the courage to go have it trimmed.
Star Trek?
if my hair wasn’t so thin and crappy, i would love to do locks for love. i really respect you for doing that. even if you don’t love long hair, it’s quite the sacrifice. i’m looking forward to the before and after pics.
First, you forgot to add in the times your DH was overseas into your pregnancy calculations. That makes it even more dramatic.
Second, I have a picture I found online that reminded me of you. I need to find a way to get it to you. Message me your email address or something. You can post it here after you see it.

@front_desk_michy - New Star Trek Movie comes out on Friday. Can’t be missed!
@SpiderDad - My email is williams.amanda@hotmail.com. You’re not gonna spam me with get rich quick schemes are you? I’m already a gazillionaire, I just play a poor girl on TV.
@sweetmumbleb - I’m super excited about it. My hair is thin and crappy too, but it takes SIX donated ponytails to make up one wig, so I figure it’ll compensate for a little bit o’something.
@Dare2BDiferentt - I love my kids, but that Duggar lady is FAR stronger than I. And don’t get me started on her patience level.
@life_by_us -
Of course not! How offensive! I’m going to try to sell you Cialis and herbs that will make other body parts grow!
