Sit On It

Ch-ch-ch-check it out boys and girls...thanks to the generosity of the in-laws, we have ordered a new sofa!


I am sooooo excited because there is no need for couch covers!!!! YAY! You can sit on it without having to tuck anything in when you get up. Neal and I have had the same plaid sofa and loveseat since, well, forever. It was in the house on Ira Street before we were even dating. He used it in the Kenilworth house when he lived with B and Kerry. It's been around a while. We are very grateful to have had them this long and we are going to keep them in our "sun room," but are ready for some grown-up furniture.

We also ordered a new bed, but I don't love it so I'm not going to post a picture. It IS a king size though :). It's a little more modern than I'm used to, but I think I can work around it.

Side Note....I watched "Trouble The Water" this past week and WOW. It's a documentary about a couple from the lower Ninth during and after Katrina. I didn't cry, but I almost cried quite a few times. It is emotionally draining, but it is very, very good. I would suggest that you watch it on a rainy Sunday or something like that.

5 more days, ya'll. I'm missing Dave at Jazz Fest tomorrow and that really upsets me, so I'm trying not to think about it. Since I'm not going, Mom and Maddie will probably go and end up meeting him and hanging out with him afterward, but c'est la vie. Got too much else going on. I spent a ridiculous amount of time working on statistics yesterday and I'm in the middle of writing my policy paper, so I better get back to it. Peace out, folks.

Job Interview

Friday May 1st at North Oaks Health System in Hammond. She called when I was in the middle of writing my HIPAA paper and I was so "in the zone" (like in the Britney and Madonna song) that I did not get her name. Awesome. Also, I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. It's so super long right now. Like, it's almost Lindsey Lohan long. (Except it doesn't reek of desperation, red bull and narcotic stimulants.)

Torture

This is a list of my remaining school assignments and their due dates. My goal is to have all of this done (except for stats test and in-class presentations) before moving day. I am going to update this as I get them done and I'm hoping this will help motivate me to stay on track.

Oh Goodness

We had a pretty good weekend. Friday night we dyed Easter eggs. I went to CVS to get some Easter egg dye kits and the only ones they had left were Disney Princesses and Transformers. I got one of each b/c I certainly did not want to decorate my eggs with Transformer stickers and vice versa for Neal. Because that would be weird. So I bought the two kits and the lady at the check-out counter looks at them and says, "Oh, you must have a little girl. And a boy!" I just smiled. I didn't know what to say. I was too embarrassed to be like, "No, those are for me and my husband." So I just nodded and hoped that she wouldn't ask me more questions about my non-existent kids that I would have to make up answers for. I was all ready to say, "Well Hayes is 4 and little Harper is 2. They are really looking forward to dying eggs tonight." This whole situation was pretty sad. But our eggs did end up looking awesome.

Since our kids are only make-believe, we were able to go to the local bar Saturday and get drunk at 4pm. It was awesome. Sunday I watched the Master's for the first time, and I didn't hate it. Maybe you begin to enjoy golf with age? I was rooting for both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson (b/c he's cute) but neither one of them did very well.

We boxed a lot of stuff up this weekend. I hate it when the apartment is a mess, but it's going to be that way until we move. Disarray usually increases my anxiety by a lot, but I'm so excited about moving that I think I can deal with it. Got some school work to do, so later gators.

My seminar class is working on a pretty big project right now. For this project, we had to elect people we thought would be good leaders to an executive committee. Last night our CEO went a little crazy and walked out of the class. He also fired our COO (who wasn't even there) and randomly appointed someone who didn't want the job to the position. It was like our own little Enron scandal. It was weird. I thought he was going to cry. We worked through it without him though and now I have TONS of work and research to do on it this week. Ugh.

Still no word from the hospital in Hammond on a second interview. The chick in HR said that if I don't hear from them by next Monday to call her.

Neal comes home tomorrow...YAY! He's been gone for two weeks and I am so very excited to see him again. :)

I talked to my brother yesterday afternoon and he said Dwina did very well with the delivery. There were no problems and they should be able to go home by Wednesday. He said that TJ will of course be wearing an LSU outfit when he leaves the hospital. My brother brought his "Nick Saban is a Douche" t-shirt to wear that same day. I begged him not to, but I'm pretty sure he's still going to wear it. Sigh.

And let me tell you what, I am READY TO MOVE. Like, NOW. I already started packing, but I think Neal and I will tackle the majority of it this week. I went to the UHAUL place and got 10 medium sized boxes and then realized that I could barely carry them up the stairs at our complex. I couldn't quite get my arms around them because, flattened, they were pretty wide and my arms don't stretch far enough to get a firm grasp of both sides. I think it would have been easier for me to put them together downstairs and then carry them up one at a time. If anyone at the complex saw me from a distance they were probably like "What kind of fort is that little girl going to build with all those big boxes?"

Guess that's it for now...

I'm an Aunt

Here he is folks...my new nephew, TJ. My brother sent me this picture along with a message that said, and I quote, "He's white...I'm that baby's pappy!"

'Cause It's Funny

There is this comedian named Sarah Haskins that films weekly video segments called "Target Women" for www.current.com. She pics a random topic and films a little video about it and how it relates to women. This week, the topic is Carl's Jr. commercials. I posted the Carl's Jr video below. She's frickin' hilarious. It's not completely safe for work as she says "douchebag" a lot, but it's worth the watch.
