So seriously, when was the last time you were calling to check on something (an order placed, dental insurance, your bank account) that you got so belligerently angry you called the person you were talking to "a FUCKING CUNT". I mean come on! I have been called many things since I started working in a call center but that is a little much! Who does that?
OK, I bitched about it... I am over it... Sort of...
Chris has an interview in Lewisburg already. Most of the schools were accepting applications through May, so hopefully he will get some calls a little closer to the port.
Sophie is going through a bit of a "no" phase. Today I told her to put her coat on and she kept saying no... no... no... Finally, I looked at her and pointed to myself and said "I'm the mommy and I said yes" She returned with patting herself saying "I am mommy". She is 19 months old and already thinks she is the boss. OK, she might be the boss a little but damn, I have to try to fix this...
Lastly, I am excited about Prince Caspian coming to theaters, I cannot wait for it to come out on DVD so I can watch it.... Sniffle.

Finally!
So, let me start by saying both season 1 and 2 of Dexter were really intense and wicked good! I cannot wait for the next season, but really what else can they possibly do?
Next, Chris sent a packet of like 20 resumes out to schools in the Williamsport/State College area. I am torn on which place I want to end up. I guess the Port area. I love living in State College, but we would really be stuck in the same situation if we ended up there.
The biggest reason for moving home is to save the $710 a month for day care. Have I mentioned lately that she is only there a maximum of 40 hours per month... Let me make that easy, that is $17.75 per hour! If we end up in the Port, I can have my parents, brother, nieces, uncle, friends watch her pretty much anytime. Plus we are spending $1000 a month for rent, double what we would pay in the Port. We want to buy a house, but anything under $200 here is pretty much the ghetto, in the Port, $200 can buy you a nice house plus 5 acres.
Sooo, the point of all that is to say that by August we should be home, or at least close by! Woo Hoo!

3 things
First, some dick hacked into my WOW! account and got rid of all my stuff and stole all of my gold!! When I emailed Blizzard they said the cannot positively say my account was compromised... Umm hello, I just freaking told you it was! So now, I have nothing and it doesn’t sound like they are going to get it back.
Second, I started giving my agents a weekly survey, this week it was "What are your top 5 favorite movies". One of my top 5 was Pulp Fiction, and of 22 people 3 people have seen it!!! THREE!!!
Finally, we started watching Dexter over the weekend and all I can say after 6 episodes is wow do I love that freaky little weirdo!

No shit
So I went outside to have a smoke before bed. Since it rained all day, I couldn't sit down because the chairs were wet. So I am standing there and all of a sudden a rabbit ran right into my foot. It made me scream, scared the living crap out of me, I thought it must be a rabid rabbit or something!! After hitting my foot, it kept running and another one that must have been chasing it ran past me, within two feet of me. It was just bizarre!! I am thinking they were excited because it was like 65 degrees out? Or perhaps one was feeling frisky and the other was not and was trying to escape or playing hard to get?

Family Outing
Today Chris and I took Soph to see Disney Princess on Ice. She liked it for awhile then got bored with it, then liked it again for awhile. There must have been 500 little girls dressed up as a princess, it was really cute. I cannot wait until she is a little older and take her in her princess dress.
I got annoyed at my job on Thursday. The manager likes all "fun" emails to be sent in a certain way. They have to be all short and chunky and all different colors. I on the other hand prefer justified and matching colors, I mean really, who wants an email with 14 paragraphs and each one a different color. Hers look dumb, mine do not. Since it was an email to my section, I did it my way. Twenty minutes later a supervisor had to "coach" me on my email. Are ya kidding me?? If there was a reason other than the manager likes them this way it would have been one thing, but it is an email from me to MY section! I kind of felt like I was ten.

J and L
So the John Hiatt/Lyle Lovett show was incredible! I went thinking Lyle would be just ok and that I would love John Hiatt. Turns out, I loved them both. I also thought they would each play with their bands, but instead they came out together and sat on two chairs and played an acoustic show! It was so good. They are so different, they complimented each other very well. Good time! Thanks Ryan for the tip about the show!

Sniffle
I just met my parents half way to drop Sophie off. Watching her drive away while she was waving and blowing kisses hurt bad. She didn't mind at all, but I kind of fell apart. We are going to go to the concert tonight and then come home to a house without our baby girl. It is kind of exciting, but also really scary. I am here, at the house now... ALONE. How bizarre.

January 6, 2008....
It has finally arrived. The day I have been dreading for the last five, maybe ten years!!! I have hit the big 3-0! Holy Crap!!! I am not quite as panicked as I expected, but maybe it has just not sunk in. I went out in Panama City with Chris, my brother, and sister in law on Wednesday. It was a rough night. For my birthday Chris agreed to sing karaoke for me.... Anybody who knows him, knows how hard that was for him. He sang Into the Mystic and Every Rose has its Thorne... Obviously he let me pick the songs. Soon after he was finished at about 9:30, I had to be escorted to the garbage can outside where I released all the poison I had just ingested and cried about this day coming, then rode with my head out the window of the taxi back to the condo and slept it off....
I have lots to tell all about our vacation, but since I just got out of the car after driving 1024 miles, I am going to go to bed and will write about it tomorrow or maybe the next day.

Sickness has passed
After Sophie's horrible night, Chris got it. It was 24 hours of pretty much hell. He got it on Friday. After Sunday came and went I was sure that it was going to skip me.... Of course, Monday night I started feeling it and then of course got it full force. The flu blows. I ended up having to take 1/2 a day off. I passed it on to my boss and two coworkers... Needless to say, they were not pleased. However, we are all better now. Thank goodness.
I got a Christmas card from one of my old coworkers. In the card she told me how the place was the same, still sucks for all the same reason. It made me think of my new job. Though I have only been there for 3 months, I have to say I like my job. I don't think I have ever said that before, but I honestly do. I don't even get queasy pulling into the parking lot. Of course, now that I finally don't hate my job, Chris is going to start applying for jobs back in the Port area. I would love to live back there again and be able to have a life, but then I will have to find another job, and there just aren't any there.
I am anxiously awaiting our vacation which is getting very close. We are leaving Christmas day and going to South Carolina to see Chris's parents. Then we are going to Panama City Beach for a week. My parents, my brother and his little angels, and Chris's parents are all coming. It will be like National Lampoons Vacation. Our fingers are crossed for nice weather.

This made me snicker. I am not a fan of Star Wars, but I might like Harry a little....

Mmm Mmm that smell...
Last night, Sophie literally threw up at least a gallon. I have never seen so much puke in my life!!! Her sheets, the wall, the floor, her clothes, her head, everything within 5 feet of her crib were completely saturated. I smelled it all day. I washed everything, but I think the smell is just stuck in my nostrils or something! She had a fever of 101. She still had a fever today, but she seems to feel fine. In case you don't usually read what I say, let me reiterate, "I HATE DAY CARE!". She is sick every week. It is terribly frustrating.
On a side note, I got my first Christmas card of the season last week. Chris's aunt and uncle have stolen my mothers spot of always being the first person to send out her cards. Perhaps to make things interesting I will send some out in July...

I hate NE
SURPRISE, we lost to New England. However, they are a tough team and it was a really close game. So, this makes me say again, it is time for McNabb to be McNabbed right out of here. He "was" a great quarterback, but he is not any longer. I am counting on Andy even with all of his personal issues going on to see this. I also hate Feeley, but he looked better than McNabb has been looking....

Thankful much?
My sister in law had everyone at dinner say what they were thankful for, sadly, I missed it because I work at the only bank in the world that is open on Thanksgiving. The best answer I heard from her dinner table was "Music and Pills." Years ago I think that would have been about the same as "Sex Drugs and Rock and Roll".
It made me think of things I am thankful for. I am of course thankful for the obvious things, my beautiful daughter with a giant purple egg on her head, my wonderful husband that words cannot even begin to describe, my crazy little dog who everyone keeps saying will "grow out" of this crazy phase, great parents who I don't think we could survive without, perfect nieces who always keep me laughing , a nephew who is now deemed superman for making it through his work accident, a brother who no longer throws me down the stairs or tells me I was found abandoned by the weird people down the street, an uncle who treats me, Chris, and Soph like we are his kids, a sister in law who makes me think about all this kind fo crap and will always be hitting age milestones before me, my best friend who thankfully didn't die on her chicken nugget, in-laws who are always there for us, but never intrude or try to run things, and a great friend who will still watch my satanic little dog for two weeks straight.
Then there are the little things that also make me thankful, my terribly comfortable bed, a warm house, The Office, Scrubs, Diet Mountain Dew, furry socks to keep my feet warm even though the house is 90 degrees, books that make me want to turn the computer off, the new Robert Plant CD, the old Amos Lee CD, 80's radio stations, vacation coming, Sophie finally getting over Barney, Ramen noodles in a cup, Captain and diet, peanut butter on ice cream, a car that runs, my perfect jeans that are so worn they are ripping, I honestly could go on and on, but will stop because I am tired.
So anyhow, happy Thanksgiving to everyone, I promise not to get all "thankful" again until next Thanksgiving!!
