My mind is a jumble of so much stuff right now... so this is what you get.

• Could my shoes be any louder? Seriously. It's enough that they flip & flop, but must the squeek too?
• Em comment #1: No, mommy, I KNOW that's the toy in the kids meal right now. I saw it on the TV and the TV NEVER lies.
• Wedding rehersal tonight. I have 4 hours worth of stuff to do & about 2.5 hours to do it in. Thats factoring in skipping lunch so I can leave an hour early from work.
• Need to fix the layouts in my previous post. My one complaint about Picasa; that each scanned image is named the same thing. Different folders, but same image name. Kills me.
• Em comment #2: I'm glad you married daddy. Even if you aren't together anymore, he's very nice.
• Speaking of Em... While she's the spitting image of her dad, she's me to the core of her bones. It's so funny to listen to her sometimes. Makes me want to call my mom & simply say, I'm sorry. This won't translate very well into blog land, but here's an example... In the car after picking her up from her first day at her new daycare, I was tring to get her to tell me what they ate during the day. She swears up & down that they were fed spinich, leaves & grass for lunch (which of course caused them all to throw up). So I moved onto snack. Her responses were band-aids, coconuts, tires and footballs. She finaly said, OK Mommy, they gave us ice cream for snack. I said, really? She replies. no. Just like that. No. Flat & simple. No. Just like me. Give a response that sounds fesiable, say it like you mean it & then faltly deny it. Again, I'm sure that dosen't translate well, but if you happen to know me, if you've spoke to me, maybe it makes sense. Sheri, yes, no, maybe? :)

OK. Pause. I just leaned over to take a bite of my lunch and my came back to 3 lines of 00000's. Gotta love the benifits of a big chest. Resume.

• Steve & I had our first date this past weekend. Or at least that was the joke we cracked while at Bennigan's for a very late night dinner. Did you know they stay open til 3am? Quite the hot spot apprently. 6 weeks since we met & finally went on a "date". Trying very hard to give him a fair chance, without J the jerk clouding my mind.
• Yes. Jimmy has now become J the jerk. Actually, I refer to him with another word, one that I won't repeat here. I could be wrong, but that's the way I'm feeling about him right now. Just pretty much over it. Over the BS, over the excuses. Starting to not take his word for gold. He swears that he ment every word he said. Maybe he did then, but I don't think it still rings true. Our conversation a week ago brought up a lot of vaild points on both sides and while I think he was trying to reel me in further, it just made it easier to let go of the bait.
• Did I mention that the rehersal dinner is tonight? More than a tad bit stressed right now about this wedding. More than a tad bit excited too. Wedding is Saturday, so expect a photo heavy post Sunday-ish. If you're bored, check out their website: Kristina & Jason's wedding. There's also some pre-wedding photos here. Are they not the cutest couple?! Can't wait for her to start popping out some babies! And she wants that ASAP, so it's OK for me to say it!
• Almost bought a skirt last night in a size Medium. Yes, Medium gets a capital M, it's that important. :) It fit, but I changed my mind about it & stuck it back. Just knowing that it fit though, that makes me happy. That & the fact that the last time I wore the pants I have on now was during my interview for this job & they still fit. That makes me happy too. They fit good too, not a I-can-get-them-buttoned-if-I-don't-breathe fit. I've fallen off the wagon hard since I moved. Not being able to cook at home for the first few weeks, not being in a grove with lunches here, not being as close to a water machine, not getting into the gym at all...it's all been very bad. Gotta get back on track, but SO thankfull that I haven't gotten too far off scale wise.

Guess that's about it for now. I'm sure there's more, but since I am leaving work an hour early, I should actually try to accomplish something. I'm *almost* working in the current week. Whoo flippin hoo for me.
