Hey everyone! I know I don't ever really post on here...but I thought I would just incase people actually read this thing. I wanted to let you all know that Anthony, my mommy and I all went to the doctor's yeterday so I could get my ultrasound done. Well everything went well. The baby looks healthy and weighs a full pound and a half. The ultrasound technician said the gender is the las thing she looks at. She went down there a few times, but since I was looking at a reflection through a mirror halfway across the room I couldn't really see anything. I could see his spine and his heart beating...but that's it. Anthony couldn't tell what was what....because he's a guy! :-P and it's been over 20 years since my mom has had to look at those things. So after about 15 minute the tech told us that we're having a baby BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His name is going to be Tobias Michael.

okay so for those of you that don't know...I'm pregnant.  I'm 9 weeks pregnant have had some problems earlier on. 

I was bleeding on 2/14 and ended up in the ER.  Then on 2/16 I had an ultra-sound.  The doctor told me that the baby wasn't growing and they couldn't get a heartbeat.  She proceeded to tell me that they would check a week later and if no change they would take the baby out...with no other options.  So I went back a week later and had another ultra-sound.  We found out that the doctor was a week off on her estimate and the baby is fine!  I even got some pictures.  It's so cool.  After that my insurance started giving me problems about getting blood work done at the lab at the hospital.  We're trying to get it taken care of and it seems as though everything with that will be okay.

So I had a doctor's appointment today and it went VERY well!  I told the doctor my pre-pregnancy clothes aren't fitting anymore.  But that's odd because I have lost 12 pounds so my old clothes should be fitting me fine...but they're not!  The doctor told me that since I started out heavier my stomach needed to adjust it's shape...and that's why my clothes don't fit.  I was also told that I will only be getting blood taken 2 more times so I don't have to worry about paying too much for that.  Other than that the doctor said the baby is growing very well and things are looking very good.

Thanks to [info]rosefaith I've been tagged. :-)

The point is to list 6 weird things about yourself

1.)  I often craft insults by using "butt" and adding another word.  For example "buttmonkey".  [info]aaaantoine knows!

2.)  I was a virgin until I got married.  In this day and age that's wierd...and I don't mean that in a mean way to anyone at all!

3.)  I am often told I look older than I am.  I used to love it because my sister looked younger than me and she's 3 1/2 years older than me.  But now I am often told I look younger than I actually am...how does that work?

4.)  I do not like Beer...and I live in a college town!

5.)  I've been to just as many countries as I have states!

6.)  I met a guy on the internet and we ended up getting married.

Okay now it's your turn...I am going to tag:

1.)  [info]aaaantoine

Well it's time for a real post!  A lot has been going on recently.  On September 7th Anthony asked the people at his work if he could work remotely.  His supervisor said yes and that he supports Anthony 100%.  That was so good to hear.  I'm so glad Anthony will be up here soon as I have been in Oz since the middle of June.  I miss him so much and I'm glad we're going to be together again.  I really hated hearing everyone say "well you've done the long distance for a long time, this is no different."  Well this was different.  We weren't married back then.  We weren't used to spending every day all day together.  Anthony and I are lucky in that we love spending time with each other and never get sick of it (we will some day, but not yet).  This friday Anthony is coming to pick me up and I will be spending his last week in Long Island with him.  We won't be apart anymore and we Thank God every day for that.

Mary and I went out yesterday and got new tattoo's.  It was my first one so I was VERY nervous.  It hurt, but it wasn't that bad.  The tattoo guy told me I was one of the best people he's tattoo'd a first tattoo on.  Mary told me I did a lot better than she thought I would too.  I got a butterfly with an S over it.  It is mostly a memorial for my Grandmother as she passed away in August of 2004.  The day she died I was going to go visit her, but she was gone before I got to go.  I never got to say goodbye to her and tell her that I love her one last time.  Now I can finally let go of the guilt and the pain.  Both of the tat's came out AMAZING.  I have pictures of the tattoo on my myspace, but if you aren't already one of my friends on there you can IM me on AIM and I will show you some pictures.

Call me crazy but I got all of my christmas presents purchased and I'm done with that.  I know you're thinking it's too early for that, but if you buy now you get all of the sales.  Christmas gifts that will become the hot items are on sale now as no one is buying yet.  For example, the year tickle me elmo was a hot item, my mom bought one for me in September (because I LOOOOOVE Elmo).  Well no one was buying anything so the store had the Elmo's 20% off!

so what's with the whole myspace thing? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love myspace. a lot of people I know have one and it's a great way to get in contact with people... but sometimes I just get so annoyed I want to smack people....

why is it that so many people write bulletins that say "i added new pics comment on them" or "I changed my background please comment on it!" If you have any friends....they'll notice the pictures and new background right away...am I wrong? Does this piss anyone else off? ERRRRR! I wish people would effin' STOP DOING THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay...end of rant! Thanks for listening!

Mood: happy

well I got to go home this past weekend! Anthony and I sold his old cadillac to my dad and we had to bring it up there to him, so Anthony's parents drove the cadillac and we took our cobalt. We went to the Young life silent auction and I got to see a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. I wish I could have seen people sunday morning in church but I didn't end up going because Anthony's parent's didn't go. I didn't want to leave them home alone. They ended up going to st. mary's for a catholic mass so I could have gone to church...but oh well I can't go back and change it now. My mom made a wonderful lunch in which everyone loved. Anthony said it was the highlight food of the weekend...even though we had eaten out and ordered in and stuff. That's pretty cool I thought.

I also go to go out with Mary for my birthday. We were going to Greene's, but there was a band, and they're always bad so we went to the sting instead. I got right in, but since mary had left her license back home and her old one had been punched since she had it changed because of the wedding they wouldn't let her in. she was ticked off. we walked back to my parents house and were going to run to the pc to get some alcohol and just chill watching tv and munching, but I found the paper the dmv gives you in her glove compartment so we went back to the sting and they let her in. we had a good time playing pool. Her and I against Anthony. we almost won except having to call that stupid 8 ball. I hate that part...otherwise I would have hit it harder and it probably would have gone in a pocket.

Overall it was a great weekend. Well time to go to work

Wow it's been a LONG time! Christmas went really well. Anthony and I were at my parents' house and for Christmas Eve we went to the Rounds' house for the traditional Christmas Eve Party. There were times where I wanted to talk with Anthony and go see what he was doing, but he really opened himself up that night. It was really neat to see him talking to everyone with such ease. He looked comfortable...which is a lot for such a shy guy. I just continued doing my own thing. We had a worship time where we were all just worshiping the Lord. It was really awesome.

Christmas was great too! I got to see Mary & Culkin, Aunt Barb & Borio and Rick & Jonathan. Of course my parents were there too. We had a great time. I got a lot of cool gifts. I really love the Wine rack, the Cinderella DVD and this thing I got from Aunt Barb. It's like a paper weight type of thing. It's glass, with moon, stars and cloud indents. On the moon is a little fairy/angel. it's REALLY pretty. The drive home was really good monday morning though. Anthony and I didn't hit much traffic, we made it in 5 1/2 - 6 hours.

Since then I've been out of work with a Migraine. The neurologist says I am "neurologically disabled." I just went back to work on tuesday. I had an appointment with the neurologist wednesday to see how I was doing. He took me out of work again. Now I'm out until the 16th. That's the day after my birthday...but hopefully I will be feeling better before then.

I'm very excited that my family is coming to see Anthony and I this weekend. My mommy's birthday is on Sunday and since she's never been into NYC, we're all going on Saturday. Anthony's parent's won't be able to come to the city with us, so we're (mary, culkin, mom, dad, jim, ann and I) going out to breakfast/lunch Sunday.

Anthony and I had dinner at his parents' house tonight and then left (at 8) because we had to come home to clean. We took the tree down, put presents away, cleaned the whole apartment, did dishes, did laundry, did some rearranging. All that's left is to swiffer the floors, and fold the last load of laundry when it's dry. I feel so accomplished and proud. The apartment looks AMAZING...which iof course is what I wanted since family is coming over and going to see the apartment for the first time.

Well, the sooner I go to bed the sooner (it will seem) my family will be here! :-) So it's time to fold laundry then go to bed!

Mood: drained

I went to the neurologist on Tuesday about my migraine. He told me the migraine caused a nerve to become inflammed in the back of my head. Now that nerve is preventing the migraine from healing. He took me out of work until 1/3/06. It's good to have time to heal, but I'm worried about the finances because I don't get paid for this leave. Please pray that God will provide for Anthony and I.

Please pray for Anthony, as he's never had to live from paycheck to paycheck as we are right now. He's always been one of the types who save his money. So it's REALLY hard for him to go through this.

I'm at my mom and dad's for Christmas. It was a pretty good ride up here actually. The transit strike was over and the roads (going OUT of NYC) were really good. Since it was night time a lot of people had either already travelled to whatever place they were going for the holidays...or they were leaving the next morning. So the roads were pretty clear. The road did nothing but make my migraine worse. I've been trying to pretend everything is cool though so I don't get any pity from anyone.

I gave my mom a present today and she was really happy. I also got to see a LOT of people at the Candle Lighting Service that I haven't seen in a while. It was nice to see people that were away at college and people who don't live so close anymore. Afterwards I, like always, went to the Rounds' house. We had a nice dinner and looked through a LOT of recently developed pictures. Then we had a little worship thing. Pete got to take the new car for a spin and he LOVED it. That made me feel good. Now I'm back at my parents' house and Anthony and I opened our stockings. We...well...I got the air mattress set up and we're going to sleep in the livingroom with the Christmas tree lit...in memory of Gramma. I'm pretty sure Mary is doing the same thing if possible. Well...that was my update...

Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a gooooooood night! :-)

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In March I gave change to a homeless guy (19 points). In February I pushed [info]lyss_5486 in the mud (-17 points). In January I broke [info]rosefaith's X-Box (-12 points). In August I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last week I donated bone marrow to [info]abbs277 in a life-saving procedure (300 points).

Overall, I've been nice (214 points). For Christmas I deserve a new dolly!

I am tired so this is gonne be short...

Anthony and I went upstate in a bad storm. it sucked, 40 in a 65. Anthony was talking about how the new car would be a LOT better driving in the snow. I said, well you won't know that until we see a cobalt driving past. Then we'll know. 10 seconds later a cobalt passed going 70 or 75. It had the stickers in the window and was the same color as we were getting. the next morning when we went to pick up our car we told Jim (that's who we bought it from) the story. We found out it WAS our car. Good drive. Nice car. LOVE the xm satellite. Love the car.

Spent time with my family. It was fun. watched miracle. Ate apple pie and pizza with the family. Went to wal*mart and to ruby tuesdays with Tissy and Anthony. Got full on salad. Brought home meal. Anthony ate it. Had more apple pie (cuz I LOOOOVE hot apple pie). Went to dunkin, went to church, went to wades (with family). Stopped @ mary's to drop stuff off. Went to the in-law's. Had pizza & cherry pie. Watched Simpsons and parts of other things. Home now. Showered. Bed time. Good night!

Security:Public
Mood: stressed

Well it's been an interesting weekend. On Friday Anthony and I drove upstate and we were expecting bad weather. It actually took us just as long as in the summer. The roads were really good and there wasn't much traffic. Now that I think about it, that's probably because most people had that day off work and were already at their family's houses. When we got home both of my parents were still awake and it was 1145PM. I was very suprised. They looked through the wedding photos and Anthony and I gave them their gifts we got them on our honeymoon. After that we went to bed because we were really tired from driving.

Saturday came and Anthony and I were up early. We didn't have to wake up until 10AM, but we woke up at 845AM. We shoered and got ready then headed over to Tissy's house for some coffee and such. She loved the wedding photos and it was really nice to spend time with her. We left there around 1045AM because we had to meet Jim Congdon at Burritt Chevrolet about a car, but first we had to make a stop to the King's business so I could drop off the gift I got for Alissa and Jonathan's newest member of the family. When we got to Burritt's we got right down to business. It was nice working with someone we knew. We didn't have to worry about being scammed or whatever. He wanted us to test drive the car before we got into anything deeper so we took a car out. We took a 2006 Chevy Cobalt Coupe. It was a VERY smooth ride and I loved the car. We could have bought that one, but it didn't have all of the options Anthony and I wanted. It was even the right color. When we got back from the test drive we really knew we wanted this car. So we worked out what options we wanted and talked about how much we were going to put down. We also talked about payments and the best option for us. Then we found the car we wanted and we did the paperwork. The car isn't at Burritt's so they have to go pick it up, but I guess they're doing that today and they're going to do pretty much everything. They're going to inspect the car, wash & detail the car, register it, get plates and all of that work at the DMV. The only thing Anthony and I have to do is get it insured. We're going to work on that online. They even said they'd deliver the car to us in Long Island, but we decided it would be best for us to pick it up because Anthony and I decided to give my van to my mother for Christmas. If you're reading this then chances are you know me and have seen the heap of junk my mom drives around. She never complains about it though. She deserves a better vehicle. She's very excited about having a better van. I think it's a good thing to happen to my mom and dad because they've had some bad luck with cars. My dad got this really nice car this year, and then found out it's rusting and it wouldn't pass inspection. He had to get rid of the car. My uncle passed away and my mom was going to get his van, but since he didn't have a will my cousins would have had to go through a lot to give it to her so I guess that's not working out. And my mom's van that she drives around is on it's last leg. Even mom admits that. So, again, it's a huge blessing for my mom to get this van. My dad is getting the car my sister got that doesn't really work. It's a good car, but needs a lot of work. It's gonna cost a lot of money to fix up. Money they don't have. So please keep my parents in prayer.

Saturday night my parents, Tissy, Jimmy, Anthony and I all had a thanksgiving dinner. It was really nice to sit with family and friends and just have a good time. The food was good, the pies were good and the company was good. What more could I ask for?

Church on Sunday was awesome. Everyone was happy to see me and everyone wanted to look at the wedding pictures. I'm going to have to bring them back this weekend when we go just to make sure everyone got to see them...and I know there were a few that didn't.

Work is going pretty well. I'm getting a lot of work done at work daily. I send out emails with tracking numbers to people. There's been a few new hires lately. It's really good because we're pretty short staffed as it is and with the holidays coming we're going to need new people. I'm pretty discouraged about work though. I try to think positive about it, but it's just hard sometimes. You know the feeling when you work somewhere and they're doing interviews for new hiring? You know what I mean, the feeling that you're getting fired so they can get hired? Well, I get that feeling and I know others do too. It's a sucky feeling. It makes it extra worse because I've been "spoken to" a couple times this past week by my supervisor/boss. I don't think it's a big deal, I just feel like I need to be a little more careful. It's a good job though. I like it and I like the people. My co-workers are all awesome and fun to be around. Please pray for my ease of mind and for this stressful feeling to be releaved.

Hopefully Anthony and I will be going back upstate this weekend to pick up our car. If we do and you haven't seen the wedding pictures yet please let me know and we'll set up a time so you can see them.

Hi Everyone. About time for an update. Since I've updated a lot has happened.

Wendesday night. Anthony went to a car dealership to meet with a lady to talk about a car. The price went up, so we weren't going to get it. We weren't going to get any car that night, but we wanted to look. We are looking to buy a car, but when we do it will be from Burritt Chevrolet in Oswego. It's nice to do business with people you know. Well anyway, we stopped into BJ's to get some groceries afterward. When we got out of BJ's it started raining pretty hard. We rushed to the van. When we got home I opened the door. Got one foot in and I slipped! I feel down the stairs. I started to scream because it hurt so bad. Well my butt hurt really bad. When I went to work the next morning I wasn't there 45 minutes and I got sent home. The problem was...I couldn't sit at all and it hurt to stand. It hurt even more to walk. When I got home all I could do was lie down. Anthony felt really bad because everyone was questioning why he even let me go into work that day. So the next day, when I didn't feel any better, wouldn't let me go in. I lied down most of the day, but I had been working on trying to sit. I could sit up a little bit, but I still couldn't sit.

Saturday came and I felt a lot better. I could walk more, I got myself to be able to sit for a few minutes at a time. I did a little house work and then we waited for the disassembly people to show up. They had told us they would be there between 12 and 4. I figured they'd get there right at 4. Nope, they showed up at 2PM. That was great because we had a lot to do that day. The guys took our couch apart then brought it into the apartment and reassembled it. So now we have a couch! YAY! It's VERY comfortable. As soon as the guys were gone we headed to best buy to pick up a microwave since ours didn't work. We got a really big one, and it's very nice to use. It cooks a bag of popcorn in less than 2 minutes. How amazing is that? I'm definitely gonna have to get used to this thing. Anyway, it took a while to get back to our house because the parkway was backed up with all of these people going christmas shopping. We figured we'd stop at McDonald's on the way home to pick up a snack. I got something to eat and Anthony ate my leftover KFC from Friday night. We had to be at his parents' house at 530 because my brother and sister-in-law were up from Florida. Well around 7PM Anthony's Aunt Margo showed up and his sister and her friend came in at 8. We ate dinner a little after that. His cousin and wife John and Cari came around 9 and finally brother and sister-in-law at 10. It was really nice to see them and spend time with them. We found out that Anthony and I are going to be Aunt and Uncle soon. Yep, my brother-in-law and his wife are pregnant. She's only around 6 weeks, but it's still awesome. We didn't get home until around 130 in the morning and we went right to bed. Sunday we slept in too late and missed church, so we just lounged around in our pajama's all day. We watched movies together, ate together. It was really a nice relaxing day. I actually got into bed at 930 so I'm feeling pretty good this morning.

Well as you all can see I've had an eventful week. Please pray for me as my behind is still hurting and still badly bruised. Thank you! :-)

Leave me a message with what you think! :-)

Oh and to understand the pictures from the honeymoon....we got into our 1st suite, but we were a little disappointed. Then Anthony realized there was a crack in our jacuzzi. So we were upgraded for free and the pictures of the upgraded suite is the suite we actually stayed in all week.

wednesday night I flew back home. I kind of felt bad that my cousin Rick picked me up. He had just lost his father, and is going through all sorts of crap with his wife. I wanted to get to a store to buy things for the favors, but by the time I got home it was too late.

Thursday morning I went over and visited with Tissy. She came with me to run errands. It was nice to have someone there. Later Mary came up and we went to get our nails done. Then we wrapped presents for the bridal party....the tape took my nail polish off and I got really angry. I think that's when the real stress began. I calmed down later at the batchlorette party. The cake was a penis cake and it was really funny. Everyone was so amused. My mom was there for a little bit and actually laughed during Orgazmo. As the bride I was bossing people around and my excuse was "I'm the bride and I said so" I ordered people to do shots and everything.

Friday was prtty good to begin with. I had everything set together and putting the bells together didn't take too long. I found out I didn't have to wrap the favors in tuille which was awesome because that meant I didn't have to spend 6ish hours cutting tuille, cutting and nail polishing the ends of ribbon and actually putting the things together. Mary from the Foundry told me I could just bring the stuff over and they would put 3 kisses in the favors and sprinkle the rest on the table. The rehearsal was a bit confusing as Pastor Bill was more nervous than I was. He kept skipping things and AnneMarie and I were trying to find the best spot to come from. Anthony got a call during the rehearsal. It was his mom saying there were 9 extra people and that they were going to the rehearsal dinner. Well it would have been nice for someone to tell me ahead of time. I was really stressed that AnneMarie Rounds would be mad about it,
but it turned out okay. After that we went back to the hotel and hung out for a little while watching ever after and then went to bed.

Satyrday we were up early, but we were at the Rounds' on time. They were so cool about the whole thing. They had a bunch of bagels and eggs and ham and coffee and a whole bunch of other stuff to eat. They even bought roses to put in the rooms so we could "Dress in beauty. I was really nervous because my hair took a long time. I was getting my hair finished while I was
getting dressed so I had about 4 people working on me at once. We made it to the wedding with 2 minutes to spair. The ceremony went perfectly. We were rushed through pictures though because the food was ready. The DJ turned out to be really good, the cake was good and the company was good. Of course the food was too. The bill turned out to be a lot less than Anthony and
I had expected. We even got chair covers at no charge. The wedding night went well. Around midnight we went to cams for pizza because I was out of that corset so I could actually breathe and eat.

Anthony and I were supposed to be in room #3, which is the honeymoon suite. When Anthony told me we were in #1 I was angry. When I realized it what room it was I almost cried. It was a room with enough space for 6 people. It was really amazing.

When we checked into the resort we were offered an upgrade for only $20 extra per night. We decided not to take it. We stayed in the regular room. When we got in the room we were really disappointed. It didn't look like a suite at a resort. It looked more like a room in a hotel. Anthony noticed the jacuzzi, which was in the middle of the floor, acting as a divider between livingroom and bedroom was FILTHY. Then he noticed a crack in it. I called the front desk and spoke with our personal concierge. I told him to charge the 20/night to the card and we'd take the upgrade. He said, "we're gonna do something different. We're going to upgrade you at no charge. I'll be right over with your new room number and keys." When we walked into the new room we were amazed. It was sparkling clean. Jacuzzi looked like it was brand new. We also noticed the fireplace was in the bedroom right where you could lie on the bed and admire the fire. Anthony then noticed the POOL! it doesn't end there, I saw a door in the mirrored walls in the pool room and when I opened it, there was a sauna! Yes, we had ourown person pool, sauna and jacuzzi. It was really cool.

The food was awesome too. Hot breakfast in bed when we wanted it, coffee anytime we wanted. Hors d'oeurves and cocktail hours. Great entertainment, amazing staff. Awesome game room. We even went horseback riding on a trail for free! It was simply amazing.

Now we're back to reality and went out to buy the necessities for the apartment. We've spend a LOT of money on stuff. Here's the truth though. I've been feeling really stressed since we got back. I wake up at 730 to get breakfast ready for Anthony and I. We have to leave by 830, which leaves me enough time to eat, get dressed and check my email before work. We don't get home until 630PM and I have to make dinner. By the time we've had anything to eat and I've finished the dishes it's 8PM. Then I have to clean other parts of the apartment...like the windows, bathroom, floors, laundry etc. I try to be in bed by 1030, so it leaves me NO time to have a life. I would really like to work part time, or even just a couple hours less. Anthony and I received a LOT of money from the wedding and we're thinking of using it as a downpayment on a new/used car. We want a malibu maxx, so hopefully we can find a nice one with a monthly payment low enough for us to afford. Once we get another car Anthony can look into other options of work that pay more money. He really loves where he is now, and so do I, but he needs to make more money for me so I can work less hours. Don't get me wrong I do NOT want to stop working. I would just like to shave a couple hours off.

well it's past my bedtime and i need to wake up early tomorrow. So Goodnight.

Wow 355 down, only 10 days to go until I get married. That's a very short time. The only thing I am worried about is my car. I need to get an oil change before the wedding, and we're bringing 3 other people in the van with us, maybe 4. I am not sure how much longer hat will make the trip go, if any...and I am worried about having to stop for gas more than our usual one time.

I have a whole list of things I have to do on the day I get up there...which is October 27th. I need to go pick up my dress, go for the last marriage counselling meeting, go out to the Laurion's house in hanibal to hear what they've come up with for the song for the wedding. I would also like to go to the mall and purchase some lingerie and other stuff for the wedding as I did not get any at either bridal shower. I need to get the favors all ready too, and then there's the batchlorette party. Friday won't be so bad though because usually that's when you're supposed to finish packing for the honeymoon, but I'll be all packed before I even go up. I'll be able to chill a little bit befoe getting everything else done, like bringing the cake cutting set, the favors, the card box, toasting set over to the reception place. Then there's the rehearsal & dinner to follow...and a little more hang out time @ the hotel before we go to bed.

well nothing else has really been happening except for work. See you all in 8 days!
