Wow. I know it has been almost a month since I last posted. First, my site got hacked. Before both of my computer went down at home, I was able to get a quick email in to my host, who said I would have to do a few things on my end to get my site back up. The next day, both computers crashed from a virus. In other words, Grant needs to stop downloading stuff on my computer. Argh. Anyways, my laptop is in the shop now getting repaired. By chance, I was using the comp. at my mom’s today doing stuff for work and I just decided to swing by my site and see what all I had to do to get it back up. Amazingly, it was up and going on it’s own. Thank you XFluro!!!! You are awesome. So, yeah. My desktop will come on, but I still has a pretty bad virus. I haven’t been able to get any web pages to load on it for like two weeks now. For old times sake, I decided to boot up AOL and just see if it would work. Amazingly, it did. So I guess this will do until I get my laptop back next week. Then this one goes to the shop. Fun times.

I would post more tonight to get everyone updated, but it is already 12:30 and I have to be at work at 8:45 and then go to a friend’s bday party afterwards, so I think I am going to crash. I promise to get a nice long update up tomorrow!

So, Friday was my baby girl’s 3rd B-Day!!!!! More like Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Grant got home late Wednesday night, so we ended up just coming home and crashing. I had to work Thursday, so Grant’s parents came and got theme and took Riley shopping. They got her three new outfits, a cheerleader dress-up costume, an electric Hello Kitty toothbrush, and a moon bounce. Yes, you read that right, a moon bounce. It’s about 10ft x 10ft and 6ft tall with a big slide coming out one side. Then on Friday, Grant and I had her birthday with just us. We got her a huge bag full of Barbie Mariposa costumes and DVDs with some Disney Princess Dolls. Finally, the big party was Saturday. First, Grant and I took her to eat at a nice mexican restaurant. Then we met about 15 other family members and friends at Native Sun Waterpark. We were there from about 1:00 till 5:00. Then the party moved to my parents house with even more people for cake, presents, and more swimming. She got about three more dress-up costumes and all kinds of dolls and too many other things to count. Everyone swam for a couple more hours. Party finally winded down at around 10:00 last night. OMG. The three of us didn’t wake up until well after noon today. I am to tired now to even type coherently. Argh. So yeah, I leave you with a few choice shots. There are more at Flickr. I’ll be back soon, promise.

Wow. I’ve really been slacking on the site lately. Life has just been kinda crazy lately. Hmm. Where to start. Same old drama at work. Yup. Boss just announced some major changes coming up in the next year. Also, I have to start preparing for the written part of my CPOT exams in October. Fun times. I will probably spend most of tonight finishing up a huge contact order that I have been working on since 8:30 this morning.

Life at home has been good. Still house hunting. We thought we found a once in a life time opportunity. Tuesday there was an ad in the local city paper. Very nice mobile home needing minor repairs. 80ft by 16ft. 3 bdrs and 2 baths. FREE to first person who can have trailer moved from lot. WOW. Let me tell you, we got on it. We found someone in about two hours that would move it for us. Boy, we were excited. No house payments or rent payments? We could really fix this up nice. Luckily, I left work to go look at it before we had the movers meet us there. My heart sank. The place was TRASHED. There were holes in the floor, walls knocked out, and every single door and window would have to be replaced, along with both toilets and bath tubs. Every counter would have to be taken out. It would have cost us more to have this one gutted and remodeled than it would to buy a new one. I swear, the guy who placed the ad was either blind or smoking crack.

Also, last Monday, we had Riley’s first trip to the dentist. Last Friday, she fell in my mom’s shower and broke her front tooth in half. Ouch. Poor baby. Anyways, let me tell you, I felt horrible after this appointment. Riley did awesome. I was at work, so Grant took her. He said she was the perfect child. She just laid there and let them do whatever and acted like she was getting a massage. He said right in the middle of it, she hopped up and said, “I gotta go pee!” He said the tech just laughed and said, “Well then, sounds like you better hurry Daddy!” Haha. But the part that made me feel horrible is that she has seven cavities. They want to do her four front top teeth in silver and the two fillings and a crown in the back. I don’t get it, we brush her teeth twice a day. I am a fanatic about this, just like I am with my own teeth. But I have horrible teeth. They are constantly breaking. The grand total after our insurance pays their part: $1,100. OUCH! We are going to make payments, but it has to be done.

I know that this entry was kinda random, but I’m pretty tired and still have a few more contact orders to finish before I get to crash for the night. At least I am off till Monday. I hope everyone had a great month of July! Don’t worry, I am still reading everyone’s sites and staying updated!

Not really much for words tonight. Just wanted to post a few pictures. Lots more over at flickr. For those of you that asked, yes, Lynard Skynard was awesome. Night all.

Current Mood: Tired

My calves have been killing me for about the last week. Not really my calves, but my shins. Bone pain. Nothing like it. When I lay down at night, it is unreal. Argh. Anyways, I have been working killer hours at work. Between 9 and 10 hours. It will be a nice paycheck though. Two more days and I am off for three for the holidays. Heck yeah. Grant gets home tomorrow night as well. Can’t wait. Lynard Skynard concert Friday night. Something to look forward to. Night.
