Long Time eh?

2007-06-01T15:48:00.000-04:00

Tre Toes

Well it's been since NOVEMEBER since i have blogged anything. lol it's for good reason though!
In my line of business (lawn care) the winter is kinda slow and there are two secretaries here - so needless to say; we don't need to two freaking people here during the winter, so i was laid off this year for the winter (from oct - march) it was a crazy long time, i thought i was gonna go crazy for not having anything to do during the day. everyone works during the day and the only friend i have that doesn't is all the way on the other side of the city. lol too merch of a drive to go to her house and do the same damn thing i was doing at my house! LOL
so the whole time i was laid off, without internet at home and i was pregnant. basically i was laid off during the entire 2nd trimester of my pregnancy and a lil bit of the 3rd. i came back to work and the other secretary freaking QUIT and she was only giving a 2 day notice... WHAT UP WITH THAT!?!?!? but anyway so i was stuck here by myself and definitly didn't have time to play online or blog or anything like that. when i finally got some help in here i was busy training her so that i could take my maternity leave without having ALOT of trouble here in the office. so i got put on bed rest only 2 weeks into training my new partner in crime. we were all freaking out but beth did an AWESOME job for only having 2 weeks training. shoot even if she had a whole months training the job she did while i was gone was great!

so now my lil punkin butt is 5 and a half weeks and next week starts his 6th week of life... *SIGH* he starts daycare and i come back to work full time... *deep breath* lol i don't know if i'm gonna be ok with this.

the day care is really only a couple of feet away from my work, i could throw a rock and hit it. but it's just the fact that im not gonna be with my child all day and be able to play with him or teach him things. im JEALOUS of the time that the OTHER people get with him. :( lol isn't that terrible?

well i just wanted to post something for the sake of posting, i doubt anyone even reads this thing anymore. but whatever, it'll be a nice outlet to post stuff about mommyhood i guess. :) it's a whole new experience and im sure i'll have issues here and there.

Marks 10 Year High School Reunion

2006-11-15T11:36:00.000-05:00

2006-10-24T10:56:00.000-04:00

This is my baby, his name is bizkit because i use to call mark "love biscuit" & "love muffin" so i wanted his name to reflect MARK somehow so it was either gonna be muffin or biscuit... i went with the latter. ;)
my baby is an attention hound! you can NOT walk into the house with out him MEOWing at you. it doesn't stop! he will continue "talking" till he gets the attention that he sought after... crazy cat! His birthday was this month- he will be 7 years old, he was only 6 months when i first brought him home. Back then (1999) i was living with Robyn and Leslie in our "bachelorette pad" but some how all the guys ended up living there to... lol Sean, Mark and Anthony... it was good times in this apartment, even though it was a SHIT hole! everything that could be wrong with that place WAS, it was surpreme ghetto, but it was our 1st place on our OWN, so we loved it. (for a little bit, anyway) hee hee
So us three girls decided it'd be ok to get a cat cause you can hide them pretty well in an apartment. Not becuase they wasn't allowed but because who wants to pay extra for a freaking cat! lol that cat doesn't have a job and can't pay rent so why pay extra when yu can get away with FREE. hee hee So me and robyn go to the human society "just to look around" ha ha YEAH right... of course as soon as i walked into the kitty area i looked to my left and noticed the most beautiful blue eyes in the world! Against her DARK chocolate brown fur her eyes were as bright as the BLUE SKY! she was SOO pretty - i wanted her! BAD! She was long hair and i can't remember her name but i look up and she is already being adopted :( DAMN! but then i noticed another set of prettyful blue eyes in the same kennel and his name is patches, he has more of a white & grey look to him and i open the cage to see if i could hold him and damned if he didn't jump in to my arms. he was head bunting me and rubbin his face on mine like he instantly fell in love with me, like i did him! i told robyn this was it. he was the one i wanted! he was and still is a sweetie... Awww, i can't wait to go home and LOVE on him now! hee hee ;) so since i didn't get a chance to blog ON his bday i wanted to do it in the same month at LEAST! lol and yes that is a cat with a bib on... HA HA HA

i look like WHO?

2006-10-13T08:10:00.000-04:00

i did this once before but i don't think i remember posting it on my blog... i think i just put it on myspace or something... but robyn did one and thought it was funny that she looks like brittney spears... i think it's even funnier that i look like her sister - so there ya go.. me and robyn are brittney and jamie lynn! ha ha ha

2006-10-04T10:12:00.001-04:00

LMAO that was the funniest shit ever. we past the state fair on the way home and mark and deena were talkin about the super loop and then they started talkin about gettin sick on the ride and how awful that would be, mark started sayin they should call it the pukey loop and all these other blechy names - well i look in the mirror at josh and he is pretty much gaggin and lookin like he isn't gonna make it. lol next thing i know his head is out the window and there is a strong wine aroma in the truck... BLEH!!!! that was pretty freaking gross... hee hee sunday my dad gave me his macy's credit card to go get about "50 or 60 worth of nice clothes" so i spent 54 go 4 shirts and two pair of capris... not to bad if i do say so mysefl!

thanks alot ROBYN

2006-08-17T08:57:00.000-04:00

K, I got tagged by ROBYN to do this about my schools...

How many schools did you go to?Ummm, 3 elementary schools one being a catholic school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 college

Teachers nightmare or teachers?
I was a teachers pet for sure! i always did good in school but my 10th grade year in high school i was a nightmare for my chem teacher cause it was after lunch so i was all nice an hyper and didn't understand any of what she was talkin about so i just socialized the entire time with my lil group of people. needless to say i FAILED that class... lol that was the first and only class that i had EVER actually failed.

Did you have a label in school? (nerd, jock,etc) im not sure if i did have a label. i was a cheerleader and you know the kind of labels they usually get! lol but i wasn't like that. im not sure... if someone from hs remembers let me know! LOL

Whats the biggest rule you broke in school?
i got suspended from my 8th graduation celebration for me and a group of girls giving another girl that we disliked a package that had all kinds of hygiene stuff in it...basically implying that she smelled like fish. (wasnt my idea)
in hs it was cutting class. also in chem lol i really hated that class. got caught smoking a couple of times in my cheer uniform so that was pretty BAD! lol as my cheer coach use to say "Smoking is not what the 'leaders' of the school should be doing" as a cig hangs out the side of her mouth! lol

Were you in any clubs or organizations? i was in everythign that i could be cheerleading, chorus, tga chorus, student council, peer mediation, journalizam, prom committee, and school newspaper - i think that was it. lol

Did you have any nicknames in school? im sure they called me all kinds of things that i didn't know about. but the ones i do remember were man-man in middle school and in hs it was mark arms' girlfriend... yea that was me! lol and legs - since marks last name was arms. hmm what else - cant member anything else

Three teachers who inspired you?
Mr. Turner from 8th grade was the shit - he made history FUN
Mrs Agabrite from 10th grade was awesome - she help me make sense of algebra... lol apperently i forgot about it later cause i had to drop the same class 3 times in college cause im NUMBER retarded! LOL
Mr Stafford from chorus was the best ever!!! i love that man - gay or not... lol
oh and i can't forget Mr kaneely who was my journalism teacher - he let me know that i was a damn good writer even though i didn't think so and helped me pump up my writing skills.

Would you go back and do it over? sure school was fun for me. as long as i don't have to live with my parents again we'll be straight! LOL

Any major fashion faux paus? Bonus for pics!! HA OF COURSE - i am a child of the 80's so YEAH that was an everyday thing! LOL
"slouch socks" one of each color!
big hair such as the WING
tight rolling jeans
PERMS! AHHHHHHH
jean jackets that we used as a sign in sheet! lol i remember mine had EVERYONEs name that i hung out with and some jeans to match... lol "sign my jacket!"

im not gonna tag anyone (cause no one reads anymore) lol but if you want to share you school memories... go ahead!!! :)

PS - i can not wait till our high school reunion.
marks is gonna be in november i think so i'll get to see some peoples then... mine will be next year sometime so we are planning and starting a committee for that. im sure that i'll be on it and helpin out!!! i hope we have a good turn out.

well thats all for now, got lots to do!
