now you're famous, Dave! we "reserved our copy" of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! and the brochure said "who is the half blood prince? find out on January 16th!" haven't we known since the second book? anyway, not to be too negative........ i'm really looking forward to reading this one. the last two, well three, were so very very good. my genius nephew Damon D has been reading these since they first came out (he's 10 now). but then he was also reading the King James version of the bible when he was 5 or 6. muy gifted.

i actually threw up the other day in the nastiest of nasty walstarmart bathrooms. it was so embarrassing, because it echoed all over the bathroom and i felt like the whole world stopped to listen to me yakk, and call me a drunk or something, i guess i'm a wee bit self centered? :) i got over it though, i've enough to worry about besides what the world thinks of me. but my life is actually pretty pleasant and rather simple. if i didn't have white lightning (jack russell terriers, not moonshine) zipping around my house all the time, i might say my life is boring. and i won't kid you, it is sometimes. i hate this job, and i'm here a lot. too much. but i do enjoy the no drama-ness i have. seems like it's rampant in TN. i even get updates on "OMG, guess who got married this week..." from Jessie, and other meaningless but amusing gossip. but yes, i hate my job. but the job is about to change significantly though, we'll be switching companies we take calls for, we're quitting cingular wireless, and starting comcast high speed internet. i'm really hopeful on this one, i figure there are a lot less things that can go wrong with internet service than with cellphone service. and we can send people out to look at it if nothing else. but that means more training, which i loathe almost equally to this job. it's not hard or stressful, it's just the boredom makes me want to cry.

we've scheduled some **paid time off** (paid time off?!? the craaziness!) for next weekend, and we're going to mexico on friday, and then we'll watch amy graduate on saturday. and we'll go to the mercado in the morning, and we'll get to haggle, and then we'll eat real mexican food, and probably throw it up, but that's ok. paid time off though! it's just a foreign concept. why am i getting paid when i'm not coming to work? of course i don't have very much of it. only about 10 hours after this trip, and we're saving it for brad's wedding in june (colby's fiend). mooches smooches, minda.

oh yeah, just an update on the weirdness room phobia. it's passed, so no worries.

GOSH i've been counting down the minutes until i go home for so long now. it's been the craziest busiest week in the whole world. i haven't had anytime for myself. no mascara, no lip gloss. i'm doing good to even brush my hair. work is okay, it slows down at night and gives me a much needed break in between calls. we've both been sleeping on the couch this week. at the same time. no marital problems, just bed problems. i'm developing a phobia for my room. i can't explain it. he's been very kind and patient with me though. i don't know when i'll be okay with it in there. i sneak in there, grab clothes for the day, and run out. it's madness i tell you. i sprayed bleach on my carpet. dark blotches are spread out so far on the carpet not even the big rug i have will cover them all. so i went balistic with bleach. it was really theraputic, but colby got upset and said it's bad for baby jaxon/miriam, and i had to leave the room. my first appointment is this tuesdazy. haha. tuesdazy. it was an accident, but i enjoy it. we bought isaac a robots tshirt with rodney copperbottom on it, he's gonna freak! i can't wait to give it to him, it was going to be a going-away-to-germany-for-3-years present, but i don't know if i can wait. okay, it's time to go home. love to all.-minda

why didn't anyone tell me there's more portishead to be had

colby took me to souper salad, so now i'm not hungry anymore. neither is jaxon/miriam. we're all a lot happier. also i think it's getting kinda dead around here. not many people calling in complaining about their cellphones on saturday night at 9:30. don't worry, kids, i work "weekends", but i still get a "weekend". i love sundays. i like to go to church and wear a dress (usually), and i like jesus, and all that, and i like cooking dinner (sunday and sometimes monday are the only days i have time to actually cook), and i like reading what i don't have to read, and i like writing letters (both usually reserved for sunday). oh, and naps. i like naps. video games, and i think i'm going to make a necklace this weekend too. with shells on it. from virginia beach. an older lady from church went there with her sister and i asked her to bring me back a shell.

she brought me two bags. i need to do something with all those shells. they're really pretty--the one bag she found herself and washed them off, and dried them(she's so sweet), and the other bag she actually went and bought at a souvenir store. so a while back we bought a tiny little drill bit for the drill, just so i could make a little hole--anyway, should be really cool.

i gave colby a haircut a few days ago--i'm always amazed at how little length i have to cut off and how much hair is in the floor. it's wack. wiggedy wack.

such a long day.

i can't wait for jesse to get home from europe, and a tennessee visit with colby and baby. i want to go back to tn to see everyone soon, hopefully we'll be able to go back and visit before we're 'official' parents. i'm not sure which would be harder, travelling with a baby, or travelling while pregnant. brad (colby's good friend) is getting married in june, and we wanted to spend our paid time off doing that. we only have a few days, and that's only in the metroplex. tennessee on the other hand....man, i'm just remember how long of a trip that is in a car. "1000 miles is a LONG LONG drive in a car" - Modest Mouse. such a good band. i'm really hungry right now. it's almost lunch break, during which i do eat dinner... but i didn't have time for lunch. but we packed strawberries for a snack, yummy, but just aren't doin it for me. looks like i'll only be taking call for cingular until may 7. then i'll be training to take calls for comcast. i hope it's better, this job kinda sucks. i mean it's not horrible, but to have it for a long time--noo. couldn't handle it.

such a long day.
