What was I doing ten years ago?
I went to Mexico that summer I think. It was summer before senior year of High School. (That makes me feel old.) I did get my hair cut really short that summer. Kind of wish I hadnt done that.

Smiles on Sunday (on Tuesday)

Yeah, I'm late on my Sunday post. We went to Mom & Dad's on Sunday and then yesterday when we got home, I had a blazing headache and went to bed.
But here is a video of Snickerdoodle, our piano prodigy.

I'll pay you $5 to organize my pictures

We haven't organized our digital pictures since April.
That has created quite a backlog of Snickerdoodle pictures.
I don't wanna but I need to organize them.
I have been dreading this project.
I need to just start.

I don't wanna.

Update: It's 11pm. I've been working on this for a while now and I have to stop.
I'm nearly done but I just can't go on. I'll finish it up in the morning.

Have a happy 4th.

Updated Update: I finished up this morning. All of the Snickerdoodle pictures are in weekly folders from sonogram to week 51 (12 days until he is 1!) I won't put them in weekly folders after his birthday, that could get out of hand.
Right now he is learning that he can make the bottle drip on himself and his tray if he holds it upside down. He thinks it's very cool, I should probably go take care of that.

My Sissa

I just realized that I added Sissa to my "nicknames I use on my blog" list but haven't talked about Sissa.

She is great. I love her. Here's a picture of me and Sissa and Hermano that we took a few weeks ago when she was in town. She's not in town often enough. We miss her.

9 days...and counting

Next Friday when TheOldMan gets home shortly after 3:30pm, we are on vacation. I am ready for TheOldMan to be home for 9 straight days. He deserves it.
The last few days I have been going out of my mind. I'm so bored and tired of being at home. It'll be nice to have a change of pace.
PLUS we are getting Snickerdoodle's 1year pictures taken and celebrating his birthday and having a big ol' schindig with lots of friends. (Having a house full of other people's children has me kind of stressed out but I'll survive. I hope.)
And then it'll be my birthday (yay for presents! boo for getting older)
TheOldMan is getting me an iPod for my birthday (I don't like surprises, I pick out my gifts. I don't want anyone wasting money on something I don't want) so I will take any and all iTunes gift cards I receive :)
Well anyway, I have been really grumpy the last few days. I'm glad TheOldMan has a day off tomorrow. I can't wait for vacation. I'm tired of being in this house. Plus I'm upset with myself because I'm being ridiculous. I hate calling people I don't know but it needs to be done. I'm terrified of saying something stupid and then having to replay the conversation over in my head obsessively. It's for something I want to do so I should just call and get it over with. It's actually impossible to die from embarassment so what do I have to be worried about? Well I'm afraid they'll make fun of me after we hang up and then when I get there, they can point and laugh at the girl from that embarassing phonecall. These are the things that keep me up at night. That and the idiot driving blocks away with their bass pounding at 2am. Stupid paper-thin walled house. Why do people need their music that loud?! I don't understand that! ugh.
okay, i'm done ranting. I'm going to watch Roger Federer pound someone else at Wimbledon now.
Have a fantastic day, I'm certainly going to try.
