i'm such a pack rat. i found my new kids on the block 'hanging tough' tape amongst my junk the other night. why why why do i still have it? and why why why did i not throw it away? hehe...anyone want an nkotb tape?

...and for some reason i can't bring myself to throw away the programs from all of the shows and musicals i've seen.

to take off the whole two weeks or not to take off the whole two weeks before the baby is born??

i kind of want to. why am i even struggling with this? i should take advantage of it, yes? they'd even pay me for it as part of my "short term disability". (that's what they consider maternity leave, btw..) and my manager doesn't care...

me: my doctor said i can work up until the baby is born.
mgr: oh, don't do that.
me: but he usually recommends that his patients take off the two weeks before the baby is born.
mgr: oh just do that. just work to the end of july.

how cool is she? such a blessing that she doesn't want me to work too hard. but two weeks by myself? will i be bored? i might. i don't want to sleep *all* the time. but i would be able to sleep. mmmm..sleeeeeep. i love sleep. especially now. do you know how annoying it is to wake up in the middle of the night/very early morning because you have to pee? it ruins a good night's sleep.

who am i kidding? i'm totally taking those two weeks off. you know what that means? i only have to work for another month!

let's talk about the pregnant maternal "glow" and how it's not so much a "glow" as it is the reflection of the light off of the excessive amounts of oil oozing from the pores making one break out as if she were 12 years old.

i forgot my lunch at home.

=(

this is potentially upsetting to someone with only two dollars in her wallet. there is always the option of charging...but when you have to charge a meal at say, wendy's, don't you feel somewhat inclined to buy more to justify the fact that you have to charge less than five bucks? or you end up going somewhere where you end up spending much more than you would want. and i know there are dollar menus...but my lunch was WAY better than the dollar menu options.

*ten minutes later..

good news: vendors are coming in to give us a presentation on tanks or something.
better news: they're providing us with pizza and pop! yesssss!!

WOOO
HOOO!!!!!

i can't remember the last time i felt well rested. i finally finished up these reports that have been looming over me for the past three weeks. *exhale* i can finally clean up my desk. i want to clean my desk and then go home and sleep.

the baby's moving a ton these days. it's really funny because you can see my tummy move when he does. i guess it's not that funny...but i'm pretty easily amused these days (more so than usual, haha). i think it's the hormones. (although it's probably because i'm a big dork.) eight more weeks til isaiah's e.t.a. eric thinks he'll be early. eight weeks!!! that's nothing! think of how fast the year has gone by already...memorial day feels like ages ago, and the first session of outdoor is already over. (i got sunburned again, btw...not doing so well for the non-tanline look i'm going for for ny and lorie's wedding.) i hope the rest of life doesn't go by this fast. i do like time better when it slows down....

argghhhh!!!

note to self: save often.

what am i doing??? i have so much work to do and yet...i'm sitting here checking blogs. ahhh!! i'm so stupid!! i'm a bit overwhelmed. all. i want. to do. is. sleep. i'm not about staying late for work on gorgeous fridays. i'm really not about being at work on most days. i feel a little stress. something i haven't felt very much while working. i don't really stress...least of all about work....yet looking at these huge piles of papers and binders on my desk makes me want to crawl into bed and disappear under the covers for a while.

i think i want some bubble tea.

is it supposed to rain?

my leg hurts.

i feel old. it's 9:30pm and i want to go to bed. must say i'm relieved the pistons made it to the finals in six. that's one more night this week that i don't have to go to bed late because of the game. it begins again on sunday. beat l.a.!!!
