Spotlight - CHECK!

Can I just say that I have the most exciting news!!!!

Just realized what I wrote and what you are probably thinking so let me clear the air... No, I am not dating anyone. No, I am not engaged. No, I am not pregnant(did you READ the last two sentences?).

I received a call the day that I moved into my new place and it was a someone from the church asking if I will be a director for a Broadway Variety Show they want to put on! I was so excited - I literally had to calm myself down so I would know when to say YES!!! I felt like one of those people that the radio station calls when they won an amazing trip or crap loads of money!

Erin was there so I couldn't scream and do a little dance!

So, I will keep you posted on how things are going! I am so excited that I can't think of anything else - so I believe this can say how I am feeling!!

Water, Aspirin, Sleep

Those are the only things I want today... I am SO SORE!!!!!

I can do it... I can do it... I can do it...

Drop and give me TEN!

YES, SIR!!!

At least that is suppose to be my response, although what I am actually thinking is something completely different. My friend Molly and I started to go to Sargeant's Bootcamp.

I was all anxious on the first day, to say that I am out-a-shape is the understatement of the year, and I didn't know what to expect. I read all about the program online and Molly had been in the program once before and filled me in on what she could.

We met up with Sargeant Chuck and about 15 other brave individuals. We ran, stretched and silly me, I thought "I can do this!" We then started doing push-ups, crazy arm movements, more running, more push-ups, jump rope, jumping jacks, more push-ups, more running, curb push-ups... Ugh - just thinking about those makes me extremely exhausted and my arms shake with fear!! Think that I am kidding about brave?? Nope! I totally puked about 30 minutes into the hour! Thankfully we are by a nice little tree patch - so it wasn't like it hit the pavement...

I just can't stand to look at pictures of myself! I also hate that the old people at work are walking faster than I am! (Okay, not really, but it feels like it!)

But I am truly inspired by my brother Logan! I want to run in a Ragnar and also Rebel Race!! I made awesome (at least I thought they were) signs for my friend while she ran in a mud race - I remember thinking then that the next time I went to one it was because I was participating! And those of you who don't know what Ragnar is all about - do some research!! Talk about AWESOME!!!! I was a volunteer for that race and LOVED the enthusiam the teams had for their members and other teams! LOVED IT!!!

So, those are my goals - oh - and of course WIN Merkley's Biggest Loser!

So Sargeant Chuck... Come Rain, Shine, Puke, Weak Arms, Outta Breath, Brink of collapsing.... To you I say - BRING IT!!!!

I did it!!!

I DID IT!!! I am proud to say that I scheduled an appointment with the dentist!

After eight years of not going to the dentist and two years of paying for dental insurance - I finally decided to try and conquer my fear.

My appointment is in a week and a half... All I have to work on now is actually leaving my car and getting in the office. I did tell the receptionist that I was scared to death of the dentist... I also told her that if I was late, to look out in the parking lot and find the girl rocking back and forth terrified in her car, that will most likely be me.

My theme song for the day! Thanks to my niece the Dora song popped into my head and I did the Dora "We did it" dance in my office! :)

Saved!

Dear Diet Coke,

I love how refreshing you taste! Thanks for taking away my headache and stress this lovely survey filled Monday...

If I were PeeWee Herman, I would consider marrying you!

Until then, thanks!

Preggo Sis!

My sister, Erin, is ready to have her second child any day now and I am ready for her to have it as well!

I consider myself a pretty patient person when it comes to things like this, but no, patience is GONE!

She randomly started craving weird things and at weird times - I haven't seen this with any of my sisters before... not like this!

We were at Target (which I am single-handedly keeping the baby section in business!) and she reaches for one of the craziest treats I ever saw. It was a Nerds rope - you've seen it - a red licorice rope that has Nerds of various flavors stuck to it. She loved it! She would purchase one pretty much everytime we were there or when she saw one. I will admit that I ended up buying a couple last night while there and decided it was fine - FOR A CHILD!!!

Fast forward a couple of weeks - I am getting ready to head to bed one Sunday night, it was 10:00 PM. All of the sudden Erin and Dru show up in the kitchen... Hmmm, interesting... As I proceed to go through the kitchen to my bedroom Erin asks if I would like a steak. WHAT!? She said that she was upstairs and had a MAJOR craving for a steak and she needed it now. Her kind husband made all of us steaks and we enjoyed our late night snack!

Fast forward a week - I am sleeping in my bed, snug as a bug in a rug, when I am ripped from my sleep by the sound of someone knocking on the front door. I listened as Dru went down the stairs and the door opened. Due to the massive amount of "Criminal Minds" I have been watching, I immediately jumped from bed locked my door and had my cell ready to call 911. Hey - I thought it was a robber! It was 10:40 PM!!!! I heard the front door close after a second and after hearing only one pair of foot steps walk calmly back up the stairs, I crawled into bed and fell asleep. In the morning, I was reciting what I heard to Erin while she was feeding Alesa breakfast and she had a little guilty face... She said that she had a MASSIVE craving for Pizza Hut's Pepperoni Pan Pizza and had to have it right then - so she ordered delivery. SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!

Fast forward to the last two nights - I have been dreaming that Erin has had her baby at work. Last night's dream she kept him in her drawer on a bed made of tissue paper!! Don't worry I rescued him!!!!

I don't know if I can handle any more crazy dreams, cravings or late night deliveries! This is insane!! So please, PLEASE pray, cross your fingers, blow out a birthday candle, drive through a yellow light, find a four-leaf clover and wish that she will have this baby soon!






As a little note - I love my sister and I am really excited to enjoy this new little bundle of joy along with her. I just can't believe some of the crazy stuff that I am witnessing with her pregnancy!

Freaky!!

Well, crime showed it's ugly head at my work today. An armed man robbed someone at gunpoint in our parking lot.

Kinda shaking in my boots a little today...
