We’re slow at work today. That’s ok though, gives me time to catch up on bills etc. Plus I’ll have some time to read. I’m reading ‘The Weight of Water’ by Anita Shreve right now. I found Dave Eggers’ ‘A heartbreaking work of staggering genius’ the other day at Target. I can’t wait to start reading that one. I don’t usually buy books, but the ladies at work and I are in a book share rotation and I wasn’t contributing.

So today… I walked this morning through the neighboring apartment complex. It’s really big, and really vacant. They charge a lot more than ours, and our apartments are bigger. Go figure! I’m meeting up with Mom and Morgan tonight and Jeannie and Weekend Will at Picasso’s. I’m giving Morgan her scrapbook. I can’t wait! She’s going to be so psyched!

I just realized that the times posted on this blog must be pacific. I’m sure not up that early to post on a website! Anyway, on with the update.
TUESDAY: After work, Bad Shannon and I went to see the premier of “Summer Catch”. It didn’t suck, but it was just tired. Same story, different people. Couple of laughs. I sent my mom flowers today at work. Well, I sent them yesterday, but she called me today to thank me. It really brightened her day and that’s the point. She just seemed down this weekend. I won the soundtrack to the movie while we were there, I know waaay too much trivia! By the time I got home, Jon was in bed. I was missing him. I just love him soo much. He cracked me up, I was telling him my plan to get pregnant in May so I can be out on Maternity during the worst of tax season next year. Anyway, he’s like “We’ll get you the house and a little rat dog and maybe that will hold you over for a while.” He thinks I’m talking about getting pregnant too much. I just am so excited about really getting settled and starting a family with him. Plus, we have a plan, and I think it’s a good one. I just hope it will work and we can get pregnant this next spring or early summer.

Ok so I’m already a slacker at posting. But here I go with the update:
MONDAY: I went to Mel’s to visit and to meet Davis. He’s 3 1/2 months old and just the cutest thing ever. Mel’s doing ok considering. Kari was there from Raleigh. She took a week’s vacay to take care of Mel. What a fabulous friend!! Mel’s doing really well with her attitude. But her prognosis is not good. Basically, she has 18% of the original tumor left on her spine. If it grows, there is no treatment. BUT- it might not grow anymore ever and she’ll be ok. So I pray for her. And I am thankful every day for what I have. And seeing her again made me realize how much I want a little boy of our own. And I want to be the healthiest mommy he could have. So I started walking Tues morning, and again this morning, and every morning here on out.
Bless Your Heart
