Today is Picture Day for Mikey at school. He was so adorable this morning I had to take pictures and share. We've been practicing on his smile for the camera. He now says "Eeeeez" and slams his eyes shut. It's hilarious.

SO now I'm going to share some Mommy gushing my baby boy is my whole world.



( Can you handle the cute? )

PS-Waking up at 5:50 to pray to the porcelain god. NOT COOL

*BOING BOING BOING*

Too much coffee already today which means EPIC POST AHEAD!

1) I missed out on the whole “Interview” meme so I decided to make a variation of my own.

Comment to this post with a question or questions for me. I will answer it and the rest in my next post

2) My son went to school today.

I got him dressed and then asked, “Are you ready to go to school baby?”

He hoped up, turned off the TV and to the front door while waving and saying “Bye”

Thank God because I really didn’t want to get a phone call today stating that he needed to go home.

3) I want to go to see “Iron Man” but I can’t until the 24th. *pouts* But I wanna go now!!

4) I have decided that Pretzels are the world’s perfect food.

5) This is exactly what crosses my mind when I have to go fill up at the gas station:



Speaking of which, how exactly do those older contests that boasted “Free Gas For Life” work now? Those companies are probably going bankrupt with fuel being almost $4.00/gallon.

6) I have to go shopping for my boss’s birthday tonight and for Mother’s Day. My hubby bought me this for Mother’s Day!



He truly loves me don’t ya think?

7) Hugh on Craig Ferguson rules all. He’s beyond adorable especially when he’s relaxed and comfortable. I love the “playful” Hugh.



Thanks to marykir for the screencap

8) This video made me snarfle and yes I know in this state it’s not entirely difficult to do it but still. I’ve never seen Daniel Craig be so funny before.



Yeah I’ve seen him naked and I still wouldn’t kick him out of bed. lol

Guess who’s caffeinated??

I know these are bonorattle’s favorite types of posts, the ones when I am hyped up and deliciously random. Because of this, I have brought out her favorite icon which is a pretty good representation of how I feel right now.

1) I can’t seem to turn off my brain today and the sensor on my “appropriate things to say while at work” seems to be broken.
-Blurting out "I hate this fucking computer" is probably not the smartest idea nor is asking permission to stab someone who laughs like a hyena.
-I do get bonus points for causing my boss to christen her desk with water after one of my more "compelling" statements regarding the stunted mental capacity of some humans.

2)If I read one more headline that shouts: HUGH LAURIE EXPERIMENTED WITH VICODIN one more time I think I may really go on that stabbing spree.

-The caffeine today has already made me shanky, I don’t need the stupidity of the press to tip me over the edge. Seriously, how old is this information? 2 years? Maybe even 3? --HE ADMITED TO TAKING ONE PILL PEOPLE!! IT WAS ONE PILL ONCE!! *facepalm* I give up.

3) Speaking of Hugh. How adorable is he as Dr. Cockroach in the poster for "Monsters VS. Aliens" ?



-It's not like I'm all hot and bothered over the cockroach or anything especially because a) that would be slightly creepy and b) it IS a cockroach! If you’ve ever encountered one you know that they are gross but he does make that nasty little (sometimes huge) insect much more tolerable.
-If only the ones that run rampant in Florida were voiced by a smooth British Gentleman.

4) This has, by far, become one of my favorite pictures and I can’t place a finger on why. I view it like a piece of art; it’s just gorgeous and humbling at the same time. (Wait, does that even make sense. Oh who the hell cares! I love the picture)



5) I love asparagus. Is that strange?

6) It always astounds me that I can still misspell the same words on an email that I send out daily. What’s even worse is that the word "Competitive" has to be typed out twice and the 1st time I get it right; the 2nd time, not so much.


7) The dress I bought that I spoke of my last entry. nicolejacks wanted a look at it. Not the greatest picture but it’s scrunchy at the top and flowy at the bottom.



OK, I’ll stop babbling now, I think the caffeine is starting to wear off, OFF TO GET MORE!!!

PS- I love you all!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means, Hugh!picspam. Today’s edition will be a little different in honor of maybebaby1280’s birthday. You’re a kinky little hottie and you know it, luvs you lots! ;)

Before the main event, you’re going to have to sit through a few ramblings on my part.

A) My deepest and sincerest appreciation to all of my flist for putting up with my behavior the past few days. I try not to talk about/dwell/complain about my daily life. I’m not one to seek out and burden people with my problems. That being said, I apologize for any stress or worry I may have caused. I love you all.
-I won’t wax poetic and go into lengthy explanations but I did go to my doctor today, I was put back on my medicine, got lab results, discussed what’s going on inside me and am on a path to bettering myself in the long run.

B) Dear Fuel Company X: When I call you a simple question as to whether or not you have our draft information for Friday available yet it is a waste of time/money/resources to create a help desk ticket with the simple purpose to give me this information. Furthermore, does the said help ticket really need to travel through 3 departments before reaching the proper destination Accounts Receivable. Common sense dictates that if I’m looking for information regarding money your company is going to RECEIVE from mine, then you would go straight to the department whose job is to keep track of the money your company RECEIVES! /endrant

C) When did women not only get so disgusting but also stupid? In the past month we have had numerous issues with our bathroom system stemming from the ladies facilities. Apparently the bright neon green signs in every stall and on the exit door that state “Do Not Flush Any Feminine Hygiene Products down the Toilets at Any Time” are not enough. A company wide memo has now had to go out re-iterating this fact. Silly me, I learned in 5th grade that pads with adhesive should never be flushed. And did I mention my office only has like 20 people in it? *facepalm*

D) I promised bonorattle that I will watch Part 1 of “All or Nothing At All” tonight. Pray for me people because I’m still recovering from Jools and she states that Leo is twice as deadly. My “dream Hugh” in the flesh. *whimpers*

E) I’m going to my first “Brown Bag” party on Saturday. I’m nervous, I know they’re supposed to be a lot of fun but regardless of my behavior on here, I am a shy one, easily given to blushing.

F) Stephen Fry is still the most amazing man alive.

G) Sun Chips Honey Graham flavored are sweet, low fat, lower carb crack.

H) Onward with the Humpday Hugh!picspam special edition for maybebaby1280’s birthday featuring Jennifer Morrison as Cameron.
The usual disclaimer, heart, lungs, brain combustion avoid at all costs………..and if you can’t handle some House/Cameron/Jennifer hotness
( Happy Birthday, love Hugh! )

If you don't know, I was quoting the brilliant movie "Friday" in my title, I really do still have a job!

Not much going on this Friday, I worked, I email tagged while at work, learned I have a ghetto cell phone and HUbby's not home so I get to write some tonight which I am thrilled about.

A while ago I placed an order for a new banner, I wanted a little Jools from MI-5 love. lime_and_salt posted mne today. It is beyond anything I could have hoped for!

And a million thank you's to the amazing hughsbeautiful for my previous layout. My "Hughbunny in Paradise" will be forever in my heart.

Happiness Is

You ever wake up and know the day just isn't going to go your way?

Well today is one of those days.....

1) My beautiful son decided to wake up almost 2 hours early and my husband who had to actually get up at that time looked at me and said, "Hey Mikey's up, can you put him back to bed?" Yeah, apparently he must have been still in the fog of sleep to ask me that, well at least that's the excuse I'm going to use because if not he probably would have been maimed.

2) Couldn't get my stupid shower to heat up today, so after 10 minutes of trying, I finally got a lukewarm mist and was in and out as quickly as possible.

3) Unfortunately, that in and out was about 10 minutes after I was supposed to leave for school drop off and work. *facepalm*

4) None of our morning information was transferred over from our stores, hence work that should have been completed by 9am, still hasn't been finished at 1pm.  Not to mention the fact that the server here failed to recognize me when I initially signed in.

5) It's not all bad though, last night was beautiful, the air was breezy and temp was around 70. 
--------I got to sit on my swing outside and watch my son attempt to ride his bike. I know that doesn't seem like much but Mikey's never been able to peddle before at all, his fine motor skills are sorely lacking and it doesn't come naturally to him (mostly a by-product of his Autism) He tried so hard and started getting the hang of it. 
--------Then he played in the grass and goofed around in yard, doing things a "normal" kid does. It was beautiful, he was so happy and alive. It made me want to weep.
--------Sometimes we all just need to sit back and re-evaluate what's important to us and block out all the BS.

6) Because my day has been lacking and Anna and Lindsey wanted this as much as I....

I present Hughsday Picspam!

( Clicky here for the rest of the House goodness! )

 

7) I love Evil Monkey so he will be my icon because the Evil Monkey Knows All :) (and yes he is property of the Family Guy)

It's almost 3am and I am still awake, I guess this is what happens when you don't eat al day, don't take your meds and drink a bottle of Mountain Dew at midnight.

1) Need to wave *Hi* to all new members and old (well not older but less new) members of my flist, welcome to my insanity!!

2) Just got off the phone with bonorattle we literally killed the battery on her home phone.  Of course this was after she literally killed the battery on her cell phone with starleigh 

2a) I have now learned that I have free 24/7 long distance with my Comcast phone plan AND free 3-way calling.  Yeah no good is going to come from this nugget of information, I expect many 3-ways while hubby is away at work ;)

3) Plans are being laid for forthcoming trips with friends, I am so excited I can't wait!!  Girls Weekends Hooray!!!!

4) My dear friend Michelle had her baby yesterday, Kianna Marie, I got to see her today and brought my son to the hospital.  He was a riot and brought tears to my eyes when he had this exchange with my sister who was holding Kianna
Sis: Mikey do you want to see the baby
Mikey: Please 
Sis: Be careful, be gentle
Mikey: *leans down and gently touches the baby's hair*

Yeah my heart melted. I even held Kianna which was scary because even though I have a child,Mikey was in the ICU for 10 days before I was able to hold him, I've never held a "newborn"

5) I must apologize for all recent emo or cryptic posts. Sometimes I have a hard time and speak before I think or fully comprehend the situation. I've deleted them, I wasn't looking for drama or being an attention junkie, just a knee-jerk reaction to information that when the dust settles I realize I have done something too rashly. So here's the big apology:

I promise to keep my emotions in check and not post anything cryptic that may cause undue stress or worry on anyone in my flist. I love you all more than you know and I just feel horrible.

6) I have to add these because dang it, "Guardian angels" was love

By the amazing colorofangels

7) Not to mention the pics of Hugh from the Oct 17th presser



By the utterly amazing u_fisch
 

Why is it on what I consider a National Holiday for me (House Premiere) do I have to come home to a fucked up home and messages on the voice mail.

1) I want to make rice, mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup for my son and I for dinner.  No sense in making huge meals, it's just he and I.  Get al the pots out, got the rice going and the mushrooms sauteing.  

Guess what?!

NO FUCKING SOUP!!!!

2) Check the messages and find one from our insurance company stating I need to call them IMMEDIATELY.  Huh?  Hubby talked to them over a month ago.  I call, yeah, apparently they haven't deducted our insurance payment since July.  Ummm what about the person Hubby talked to.  Oh well he took the credit card information but never processed the payment.  

If I don't pay like $350.00 by October 1st our insurance is gone. Yeah because I have that much laying around. *facepalm* Had to put it on a credit card and now the payments will automatically come out again starting Nov.  And the original asshole that hubby talked to couldn't manage this?

3) Receive an urgent message from the doctors office, very cryptic message.  "We need you to call central appointments immediately."  Oh God, did something come up bad on my blood tests? Is my thyroid screwed up or any number of things.  I called immediately after I hang up with the insurance agent.

Me: Hi I received a message stating I needed to call immediately for an appointment.  It was rather cyrptic, was there something wrong with my tests?

Nurse: Let's see....Oh we need to schedule you with a nutritionist.

Me: Huh?! That's it, I requested that appointment weeks ago and already have an appointment.

Nurse: Oh, so do you need me to schedule one?

Me: Uh no, thanks for everything.

*facepalm*

4) I just burned my mushrooms and my heart rate is sky high. 

Is it 9pm yet?  Because Momma has a son to put to bed and a $25.00 bottle of wine chilling just for the occasion.  Just Hugh and I :)

And for my dear thisxrandomxlie and other Jennifer Morrison fans, here's a little Jennifer!picspam because even if she isn't on tonight, she's there in spirit!
