I am super super bored. We are so slow today. My boss took me out to lunch to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of working here. I cannot believe 10 years has gone by. So much happened in that 10 years. So much has changed with me and with this company. I am so happy with where I am at right now though. I love my office. I love the people that I work with. There is little stress. I am so close to home. We got a new car last week. It is a 2007 Toyota Corolla. I love it. We traded Josh's 1999 corolla in for it. We also sold our sailboat about a month ago so we actually come out even with the monthly payments because now we don't have the docking fees. I am getting new counter tops next week. I CANNOT wait!! I forget if I mentioned that I tore down my wallpaper and painted. My mom put knobs on my cabinets and now with the counter tops, it is going to be a brand new kitchen pretty much. They are going to be green Hi-mac which is very simalar to Corian. There are little specks of other colors. It is going to look so nice. I think that is about all for now. I wish I could take a nap.

Twas a rather nice weekend, although quick. I had a nice visit with an old friend from high school. It was nice to reconnect. Father's day was fun and relaxing. We just spent the day at mom and dad's, had a bbq and watched the bb game. I am off tomorrow and mom and I plan to go to the fair. Should be fun although there won't be a lot of junk food eaten. I may try to sneak in some home made potato chips sprayed with vinegar and sprinkled with a bit of salt. YUM!! That is my fav fair food.

As of May 1st, I moved to the El Cajon office. I love it!! I am so happy here. My stress level has been cut in half. Not too mention how much we have saved on gas!! I love the people here. It is nice to have girlfriends at work again. It is slower pace so I can actually relax. It is so nice to get in my car after work and drive for 10 minutes and be home. I don't even have to take a freeway!! No more traffic...ever!! The worst thing that could happen is hitting the red lights. Today I ran a couple minutes late...and of course I hit every light...and I still made it on time...don't ask me how (and no...I didn't speed. Well maybe a little but not too bad!!) There really isn't anything negative. I did have to go from an hour lunch down to a 1/2 hour lunch (which took some getting used to) but that is because we open later and close earlier than the other offices. I get an extra hour of sleep in the morning and get home at the same time that I used too. I just bring my lunch most of the time now.
So that is all that is new with me at the moment. Everything else is going great in our lives.
PS...I noticed that I had an entry stating that we were going to over all the tests for our fertility. We are both normal...YAY!!!

pics of my mom's bday party are on the website. www.skip13.com.

Well the 1st round of tests are done. Now we just have to meet with our fertility doctor on 4/21 to go over all the results....fingers crossed.

Let's see, what else is new?? Last night we had my mom's birthday party at our house. It was nice to have the whole family together.

I can't think of anything else right now. If I do...I may be back.

I went to the doctor today. Josh and I go to our first fertility class on Feb 9th. We should get some good tips to help us get preggers.

I am off for the next 4 days...no real big plans. YAY!!

Today was just a so so day at work. Nothing exciting really. I am just happy to be home. Josh got home a little before me so we get the evening together. I am making him watch Days of our lives that I DVR'd. He won't admit it but he gets into it too. It is silly but fun. His grandma has been watching it pretty much since it started. I have been watching for a couple years. I used to be a big All my children fan but have lost interest in it. I will tune in every now and then. Tonight is American Idol and my mom is coming over to watch it. I look forward to that. I cooked a yummy dinner. Now I am going to sit here and veg. That's about it...

Just sitting here watching football with Josh. Casi is sleeping on the floor next to us and Daisy is sleeping over by the front door. I love Sundays except for the fact that I have to go to work in the morning. At least it is just a 3 day work week since I took Thu and Fri off. I think I will go heat up my chicken wings from last night. My puppies sure are cute!!

I didn't update during the holidays. There must have been too much going on. A few new things...we have a new puppy. Well we have had her for almost a month now. She is a miniature Australian shepherd. We named her Daisy. She was a little over 10 weeks when we got her. She was a tiny little ball of black fur. She looks like a little bear cub when she runs around. She has some orange and white coloring as well. She has a cute little white streak on the top of her head. She's a cutie...but sure does act like a puppy. She and Casi get along OK most of the time. I think mostly Casi just puts up with her. Casi is a very sweet dog and has always gotten along with other dogs so we knew she would be OK with a sister.
Santa brought me a laptop and Josh a new PC (with flat screen moniter) for Xmas so now we can be online at the same time. We haven't had 2 computers since mine crashed right before the wedding. So it is nice to be able to be in the same room together while he plays world of warcraft and I surf the net. We rearranged the livingroom to fit our desk. It looks really nice. So now we spend most of our time in here as opposed to in the bedroom where the computer was before. I didn't mind it in there before because it was comfy and the livingroom was always clean since we rarely came in here, but I like this too...and we have comfy couches. I have done a lot of sleeping on them lately.
A couple of weeks before Christmas, Josh won a pretty big jackpot playing poker at work. He tipped out, kept a little for himself and gave me $6000...not too shabby. We decided to buy eachother a treadmill. We finally had it delivered about a week ago. It is really nice. I DOOOOOO plan to use it. I have to get into shape. We have been trying to get pregnant for about 9 months. I know that it can take time...but we are so anxious and ready. So being healthy will help with that process I'm sure. Beware for TMI...I have skipped 2 periods. Last month when I didn't start, it really got my hopes up. I took test after test and even went into the dr for a pro test...all negative. It is pretty frustrating. It must be due to stress. But I always have anxiety and never in my life skipped a period...whatever. So I thought for sure that I would start in January...nope. I really want to start at this point because in November I bought an ovulation kit and planned to use it in December...so I would really like to use it now. You have to do it after your period...but I haven't had one!! Anyway, I am going in for a girlie dr's appt this wednesday so we will see what the deal is.
But holy cow...it is already the end of January. Josh has something planned for me on the 5th and 6th. I don't know what...he just said to take Monday off and that he is taking me somewhere. I am curious to know where it is and really looking forward to a little time away.
I really should start updating more but most of the time I can't think of anything to say. Maybe I should make it a daily thing to do small entrys since I can sit here on the laptop and type...instead of doing a really long boring entry once a month. I will try. It might be good for me to get my daily thoughts out. Yes...I think that I will do that. For me. Dinner just got here...gyros and meatball sub from the Italian place down the street...no cooking for me this weekend!! :) Josh has to work tonight but will be off tomorrow. We have had a really nice lazy relaxing Saturday together. We watched a couple movies. I wish he could just stay home the rest of the night but that's the way it goes. I'll be back tomorrow. See ya...
