Thought the week would never end

We just got the laptop back so hopefully I can stay on top of my updates now.

Yesterday at work was really nice! My co-workers got me an Ice Cream Cake, a bouquet of cool balloons (with one that plays music!). I got 2 CD's, a really cute stationary set and a Kohl's gift card! That was all so nice and I didn't expect anything like that.. We always do cake but.. the gifts and balloons were a nice surprise.

I'm spending the day with my niece today... I have a dentist appt at 11 but I have my aunt going with us so she can sit with her while I'm in with the dentist.

I'm just getting my stitches out from my last procedure. Sounds like way too much fun eh?

Well now that I can update (hopefully regularly) I won't write a book-long post here.

Have a Wonderful Weekend!!

~32~

Ahem - In case you didn't know, this is my birthday week!

Well, ok, no one really makes it a week-long celebration but... my birthday is Saturday. Thirty-two years. Each year, I say I'm going to make some grand plan to change my life in some way and this year I just made a plan to live healthier and I think I've done pretty darn well so far. I've lost some weight, started eating healthier... laughed a lot more, taken more chances (within reason, of course) and lived a little more. It's amazing how the years go by... just when you thought that these years would never get here. I can remember wanting nothing more as a child, than to be an adult. Now I have days where I realize what everyone meant when they said "don't wish it away". I guess it's much the same how I can see my niece growing so fast every day. One day I was asking when she'd start talking or walking and now she's grown so much, I miss the days of her being an infant. You sit back one day and just can not figure out when certain events came and went or where the time went. That's why I don't want to have regrets. I want to live life to the fullest. I don't want to sit back anymore and say "I wish I'd done....." or "I wish I said....."

So, Saturday the plans are to go to Atlantic City, and party party party!
We're going to the Quarter in The Tropicana. It's always a good time! My sister and I go there every couple of months for a Girls Night Out and we have such a good time. Karaoke is always a good time - seeing all those drunk people get up to sing with the confidence that only comes with a good round of shots and plenty of beers.
There's never a dull moment - from beginning to end.

I'll update with details and pics on Sunday I'm sure.

Long time gone...

In yet another attempt to update the software on my BlackBerry Pearl, what better way to pass the time than to get on with the updates. Jeez, I haven't been on since like March 24 or something like that. Love to say that many exciting things have happened since then, but nope.

I just read Nate's blog, (for those of you who know who he is) .. and I literally gasped when I read that Tricia had her double lung transplant! I missed going on for ONE day and I miss the most important update! Please pray for everyone - (including the donor's family). I pray that Tricia "accepts" the lungs and there are no signs of rejection. I trust that God is on their side.

So, my birthday is this month. Yep, going to be 32. I feel like I'm still 25 sometimes. Age, after all, is only a number. I'm trying to plan a night out in A.C. with family and friends and I hope it all comes together and everyone comes out for a night of fun. I know 32 is no significant birthday but who needs a milestone birthday to celebrate? Jeff is turning 40.. So I'm working on getting something together for that as well. Any ideas - throw them at me!

I can't get on here as much as I'd like anymore.. The laptop is still down and being looked at. And turns out that we can't get on a lot of the sites we were used to at work. The IT dept has been making a real stink and they're "watching" us. So we had some non-chalant pep talk from our manager about personal sites, etc... etc..
MySpace was mentioned more than once, so that is a big no-no. That's a tough one.. I told my manager I'd prefer they just block it entirely because I have no self control with MySpace! hahaha.. But really, I'd rather not be able to access things like that and Blogger because I'm not real keen on corporate seeing what I write etc etc.. I mean, yes, Blogger is there for the world to see but it's just the whole idea that we're being "tracked". It's creepy. But it's company policy - we know the rules and we must abide by them.

Well, tomorrow begins my two days off. What to do? Maybe just hang around the house and watch movies. Trying to save money. Evidently my car needs brakes. It's shaking when I start to brake. Not a good thing. I've always said I wish I had connections with a dentist, mechanic and doctor. Seriously.
