1^st things 1^st – someone very close to my heart has a difficult day ahead of her today, and I just want her to know I love her and will be here for her today and the next day and everyday after that. 

Now, on to uh, other stuff.  I forgot to mention the other day that I quit my dream job at the liquor store.  I worked both jobs for 2 weeks, and knew I couldn’t keep it up.  This old body just aint what it used to be is worthless and pathetic, and doesn’t like 60 hour work weeks.  Initially, I was really sorry I had to quit the liq, cuz it was such a fun job, but surprisingly, I don’t miss it as much as I thought I would. (except for part where I got to see Ang - I'll def. miss that!) 

In other news,since I’ve always had short, ugly, brittle finger nails, I decided to give acrylic nail tips a try.   I’ve never had much luck with getting polish to stay on my own nails for more than a day at best, so I’m really hoping to see an improvement in that area as well.  Which is good, because I hate painting my nails.  I’m too sloppy – I think I get more paint on my fingers than the nails.  So, I’ve found them easier to adjust to that I expected – I told my niece the hardest thing so far is not poking my nail thru the toilet paper when I wipe.  TMI???  Sorry.

Ooh! Ooh!  I thought I saw Terry Bradshaw the other day!  Right here in Topeka!  Turns out it was just his look-a-like, who happens to be the husband of one of my co-workers.  It was freaky dude.  I took a picture, but it just didn’t do him justice. 

Let’s see – what else?  Oh!  Erin and her friends are hosting a baby shower this weekend for one of her best friends, Courtney.  She’s about to pop, so it’s a good thing too.  Can you believe, she doesn’t even know the sex of the baby?  Really!  Imagine when you give birth and you ask “what is it? what is it?”   and the Dr. actually says “IT’S A _______ (insert sex here)!!!!!  AND YOU’RE SURPRISED!  What a concept!!!  Considering in this day and age, our urgent need to know everything instantly, that’s quite remarkable if you ask me!  Only now I don’t know whether to buy a pink dress or blue knickers.  Maybe I’ll just go with camo, since the kid’s bound to be a redneck regardless of sex! 

I think I mentioned that Sia hid her kittens again.  Well I’m not as dumb as I look, folks.  Either that or she didn’t hide them very well.  At any rate, I’ve been feeding them dry kitten food every night so they don’t go all wild on me.  Just to be safe, I think Erin and Brent better take their 2 home this weekend J 

I guess that’s all for now – boss lady is supposed to be headed my way to teach me another part of my job!  Yay!
