Ok, you guys have officially less than one week to pick out the perfect birthday present for your favorite person. No, not that person - I'm talking about ME! For those that are close to me, you know that I LOVE my birthday! I love telling people it's my birthday, I love getting cards in the mailbox the days leading up to it, I love everything to do with my birthday! I think the main reason is because it's MY special day and I don't have to share it with anyone. (Well, that is until I found out that it is the same day as Bill & Hillary's wedding anniversary - and yes, I did just throw up a little bit just thinking about that!)
So, other than looking forward to my birthday, not much has been going on around here. Oh, I guess I did forget to tell you that two days after the layoff, someone stole my iPod out of my car. I always lock my car (well, now I can only say that I lock my car 99% of the time), but I was deathly ill and I was unloading my car after a trip to Wal-Mart. Anyways, I had my hands full and I just wasn't in my right state of mind. I must have forgotten to lock the car and someone took advantage of that. It makes me so MAD to think about it even now, two weeks later. Oh, and on top of it, we discovered a HUGE cigarette burn inside up on the roof liner. The thugs must have done it while they were looking for more loot in the back of my van. Hahahaha - joke was on them because all there was back there was a stroller and some Christmas decorations. (Yes, we like to prepare for the holidays early around here. And when I say we, I mean me.) Anyways, we filed a police report and are now going to begin the lovely process of dealing with our insurance company. The sad thing is that I was going to let it go when it was just my iPod. But, I refuse to drive around with a daily reminder that some low-life was in my car and couldn't keep his grubby little hands to himself.
So... other than some suburban crime, things around here have been going pretty well. I participated in a VERY successful consignment sale where I was able to unload the rest of my baby gear and the majority of our 0-12 months clothes. I am actually able to see some of the floor in our attic now after all of the clearing out. Wooohooo!!!
I have really been enjoying my free time in the evenings. I still catch myself looking at the clock at night and thinking, "I need to hurry up and finish (insert whatever activity I am doing) so I can get started on my work." This is usually followed by a hysterical laugh. Especially when I think about how the poor schmucks that work in the office at my old job are now having to do all of the work I used to do. Yeah, you know - the work that they used to complain about if they had to help out even a little bit. No, I don't feel sorry for them and no, I don't miss working. Money, now that I miss, but at least I have my life back and I sincerely believe they couldn't pay me to go back to working the way I was. It's so nice to be in bed before midnight. =)
