7 Months!

My sweet little Lucas is seven months old! He's figured out rolling from one part of the room to the other in about 2 seconds, he's also crawling, kind of. He lays on his tummy rolls to one side and pushes with his foot and then does the same with the opposite side, he really gets around.
Gettin some Mama luvs

Unfortunately....Unfortunitley, bite me.


So, i've been offered the job where my loverly sister dear works and while it's what would be awesome- it's temporary. Full time, pays well, great insurance but temporary. Meaning that it could be 4 months, 6 months, 8 months or maaaaaaybe 10. They didn't really know what to tell me, that means that a month or two before our wedding I could be let go with no job to finish paying for a wedding and no vacation to take a honeymoon and a serious ulcer stomach ache just because that's what would be fitting. She did say that if other jobs came up I could apply for those in different divisions, I just hate the complete openess of it all. I need a guarantee, a plan. I may not even get insurance if they can't get me past 6 months. The good thing is she asked to be told by friday if i'm interested so I have til then to fret and worry and wait and see if I can get on at Seth's work. They are looking for someone to do alot of HR work and office/executive support. They've seen my resume and are interested but are moving at a snails pace and i'm not obviously guarenteed that position either. If given the choice i'd choose to work there, it would make life a bit easier with the transitioning from SAHM to working chick. We could carpool and wouldn't need to buy a second car. We could take Luke to daycare very close by and have found excellent rates and i'd be off by 3:30 which nothing can beat, it also pays a little more then the other job, not much better, but a little and with a wedding coming, 30 cents is 30 cents, yah know. So hopefully they'll pick up the pace and i'll have a job within a week. Now if only the cookie gods could take back 30 pounds and allow my old work clothes to fit. Bastards.

That being said, i've gone to the gym quite faithfully and have gotten the "did you change your hair?" comment which has always in the past meant i've lost some girth in the neck/chins/face area, so that's a little motivation to keep it up. I'm becoming a huge fan of the Bosu Balance Trainer i've been researching excercise moves and making allison do them with me. I keep hoping i'll find a workout class that uses them that we can go to at the gym, but no luck. I do much better whith a workout when i'm forced to.

My Naaaame is...KID soldout ROCK

So ticketmaster sucks and so do the people who buy 12 tickets and take them all up to sell them later on craigslist for twice the ticket price. Bastards. I love seeing kid rock in concert, he's ghetto and usually accompanied by dancing girls but puts on one seriously awesome show. Unfortunatley when the clocked 10 am and i tried to buy tickets they were sold out instantly. How does that happen? What's the ticket-getting secret? There has got to be one. How does one get the front row at a show? I must figure this out.

Well hello

You know it's been a while when you can't remember how to log in. So. I turned down that job for one that would work better for me and now i'm just waiting to hear if i've got it! I'm hoping so, Allison and I would work for the same place just different divisions. I think the interview went well, but yah never know.


We had a good weekend, Seth is still working overtime, and so he was gone all day saturday and Luke and I went to my mom's house and visited with everyone there. We had fun as usual and ate some parmesean chicken and too many cookies.
Karen and I went to Macy's on sunday to register for the wedding...well I had every good intention of registerring for things we would like to have, but holy crap! the prices! I had a pamphlet for the registerring event from the last wedding show I went to, and there were deals like register for 2000 dollars worth of Ralph Lauren bedding and bath and receive a throw blanket worth 400 dollars and a whole ton of other cool stuff. So I was like ahhhh why not?! Well. when 2 pillowcases that aren't even made with silk, gold twine or encrusted with diamonds and crystals cost 70 bucks, i'm not even about to ask another person to buy us that. Target here we come. Atleast there I could get a complete bedding set and possibly have change left over. Geeze. Rip off if you ask me.















So I registerred for an ungodly amount of cool shizzle and should have free stuff coming in the mail shortly. I was amazed tho, there were only three other couples there.


My little guy has decided it's time to move and groove. He started crawling yesterday on his side. So funny to watch, he wanted a pack of wipes and got on his side wiggled his legs a bunch and started pushing himself across the living room. We have video on our camcorder, but the camcorder has me stumped when I try and download the video...so that'll be here later some time.
