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.

RIP

Jerry just called me freaking out. His brother apparently cut off his pointer finger and they are driving to the hospital to fix it. They went to llano hospital but i guess they couldnt fix it because they told them to go to Austin. So, Im at work getting ready to go with them. For some reason i have the Fried Green Tomatoes movie stuck in my head. The part when buddy jr loses his arm and they have a funeral for it.

Tagged

Here is how it works. Tell in your blog seven things we never knew about you and now wish we didn't. In other words...Seven strange/weird/crazy things about me. Then tag someone else-(at bottom of your blog say--I tag_____. And post the blog.

1. At restaurants, I always feel under the table for gum or other crap. Its disgusting but i just do it without thinking then im grossed out that i just touched someones chewed gum.

2. I dont mind if i eat something off the floor. As long as its not covered in dirt or anything equally gross, ill just wipe it off and pop it in my mouth.

3. I cant stand to have dirty fingernails. It makes me feel like im completely filthy. And it seems like the only way to actually get them clean clean is to shower.

4. I dont have a weak stomach. I can watch horrible bloody Saw movies and just keep on eating the popcorn while disgusting scenes pass by.

5. I love it when old ladies pass by me. They always smell really good.

6. I hate chocolate candy. The only chocolate i found that I like is hersheys chocolate. And I hate any hot chocolate drinks that doesnt have the hersheys chocolate mix. And I dont like any hot sweet items with ice cream on top. (like cobbler or pie) It makes me sick.

7. I dread going down the shampoo aisle at walmart. So many decisions on what kind of shapoo you can pick out. Same thing with the bean isle.

I cant tag anyone except gina

Jerry

Not many of yall have met Jerry. We've been together for about 4 years this march (excluding the month or so I stayed at gema's).

Anyways, his name is Jerry Lorenzo and is really sweet. He taught me how to speak spanish fluently. He was raised Jahovas witness but cant go to his church anymore because im not of the same religion.

Im bringing him with me to Thanksgiving so everyone can finally meet him.

I cant tell you how much i care for him. We were having some problems for a while with the cultural differences but now we've both given a little and are doing a lot better.

Sorry this post is a little choppy. Ive been having really bad nightmares all week long and have barely slept. I cant think very straight right now.

Update shirts:

Actually, I think i am going to wait to buy them until we know the design. I think that they will give it to me at a discounted price anyways!

Whew, im glad yall like the idea. I was starting to feel all alone in this idea.. (8) all by myseellllffff (8) jk haha.

Ok just to note, I havent seen much pregnant people before and after except through watching A Baby Story on TV, but Jenny looks like she just turned 19!! Seriously. Im amazed. And grant is super cute
