Fairys

Todays our christmas party. 8-) woo... theres only like four of us working here so its sure to be a fun time... jk :P.

I got car insurance yesterday. yay. Did you know that they give you a discount on insurance if you ask them to automatically take it from your bank account? They gave me like a 15 dollar discount when i requested this. Weird.

So i believe my mother is in new york. Lucky. Shes not getting back until Christmas Eve.

Do you remember Fairywinkles? We used to play with them when we were kids. Beki and i normally give eachother gifts from something we used to play all the time (like fuzzy posters or old kid games like hungry-hungry hippos). I was thinking about what to get her and i suddenly remembered fairywinkles. So i went on ebay expecting to pay like three dollars for something that was old. However, apparently, they are old enough to be considered "vintage" toys and are charging like $29.00 for a fairywinkle swan house (the size of your fist) with two of the fairys still in tact... but it wasnt even in the package. It was all worn looking. Crazy, huh? They were pretty cute though. I remember liking them better than pollypocket.

Im making a dump cake later tonight for the party. *drool* im kinda iffy about how much butter slices i am supposed to put on top, so if any of yall read this today (friday) and know, feel free to leave a comment. Ill be checking all day (its been super slow at work..) Im supposed to make those jalapenos with the cream cheese and bacon on top but i cant stand how the jalapeno smell lingers in the house for a couple of days. yuck.

Rats and presents

Theres a nasty "field mouse" in the office where i work at. I think its gross and needs to die but Teresa isnt doing anything to catch it. Ill be answering emails and hear it scraping omething or another. I thought i had it trapped but it was too elusive for me.

Im pretty much done christmas shopping. Jerry and I compromised on what holidays he will celebrate. Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4th and new years. I was more concerned about the family holidays. I dont want him to be a stranger.

So this is his first christmas- exciting!! I went and got his first stocking and fun stocking stuffers to put in it. Im really excited. He even started getting in the christmas spirit by helping me pick out some of yalls gifts and wrapped his first presents (sadly gema, your present isnt the prettiest... but he tried).

It seems this year that all the presents i got for other people is what i would really like too. Even Papa's house slippers looked and felt really soft... but i resisted the urge to slip them on. My favorite gifts that ive wrapped for someone else is probably gemas, ginas, bekis and mom's. Ive seriously fought myself off ginas. It sounds really neat. Hopefully she'll let me share in the experience of using it after she opens it. And gema's looks really cool too.

Our christmas party is next friday. fun...

Surprise

Its been forever since i posted anything on here. But to be honest, its been kind of crazy lately. Last month i found out that i was pregnant. it definately was not planned but what can i do except to get prepared? I was really scared at first, but mom and gema helped me feel a lot better and gave me some great advice and tips. I don't want to feel like its a secret or something not to be mentioned. I qualified for medicaid and amerigroup which will help a lot and we're thinking that we have enough to where i can take off 4-5 months afterwards. We'll probably be moving into a new place as soon as Jerry's brother is able to get back to work. Im due June 6th. Every 6th of the month is another month im considered pregnant, so right now im about 3 1/2 months.
