FINALLY!!!! Tomorrow is my last day of work and them I'm off for 10 whole days!!!! WHOOPEE!!!! I can't wait to relax with the Hubs and our Girlie and to hit the beach for some family fun!! It'll be great to get away and spend some quality time together!! (it's about time!!!!). I'm sure that I will be toting the camera around the entire time snapping some memories (what wife/mommy doesn't????) so there'll be lot's of pics to post for you to see!!!!
We are going out for a little lunch/celebration at work tomorrow and I'm totally looking forward to it!! We work so damn hard all year (and even harder in the summer) that I think we deserve this little treat!!! I'm exhausted, tired and my left arm/shoulder is pretty much finished for awhile!!! Bring on the food and drinks!!!! It's VACATION TIME!!!!!!
I'm going to make up a journal for both my girlie and myself to write down things that we do on our summer vacation!! I thought that this would be a great idea since she will usually tell you that she doesn't remember what she did!! haha!! She makes me laugh!!! Anyhow....I'm going to try and get cracking on those tonight, so I'll post some pics. of how they turn out!!! I think that it'll be something really fun for her and I to do together!!!
Well, I'm pooped......I need a shower badly, but all I could do was sit down and check out all your blogs with a nice cold drink!!!! I've got lot's to do, so I'd better at it or it'll never get done!! I'll hopefuly get some pictures up soon so there'll be more for you to enjoy!!!!

Rain, Rain Go Away, We have a soccer game to play!!!
Ugh!!! It is sooooo dark and dreary out this morning and it looks as though it's going to rain cats and dogs!!! Our Girlies soccer game starts in and hour and a half and I'm REALLY hoping that this rain holds off..(not looking as though that will happen!!). It's kind of chilly out too....going to have to bundle up and bring the umbrella!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that we'll see our little girl kick the ball around this morning!!!!

Where Do I Fit In???
Lately my thoughts are all over the place. I'm happy, sad, anxious....then happy again. What the heck?!?!? I have so many friends who are mommies, or are soon-to-be momnies...and truthfully????? I just don't know where I fit in anymore.
I have some pretty great friends..some that still fit me in even though I'm not a part of the "mommy club". (I often fear losing friends because they can no longer relate to me because I've never given birth to my own child). It's a realistic fear, one that those who can have children don't understand. It's just a natural thing I think, that people who have children naturally gravitate towards others who have children because, really????, they can relate. So how the heck can I ever fit in?!?!??!
I have to say that one of my BFF'S has always made me feel included since day one. She's always talked to me about her pregnancy....always asked my opinion(even though I have NO CLUE what I'm talking about) and even calls me Auntie Kristy to her unborn little girl. Now that...is a true friend...one who will be there till the end, who will never abandon me and who I know truly knows all that I have been through and is and will ALWAYS be there for me. Nough' said.
I just want to belong. I didn't CHOOSE to not have a baby....I WANT to go to "mommy groups" and do "mommy things"...but fate has chosen different things for me. I WANT to fit in and feel like I'm a part of something.....I just haven't found that little group yet. Hopefully soon I will fit in somewhere and feel like I belong.

Post 100!!!
Wow.....100 posts....didn't think I'd make that since there were a few times that I debated even continuing with this blog!! I mean, how many people really stop by and read about my non-interesting life?? :)
I am so thrilled that it's Friday!! I'm really looking forward to our Girlies soccer game tomorrow morning, that is, if it doesn't rain!! We missed her game last weekend which really bothered me......I don't ever want her to think that we didn't want to be there, and I'm sure she knows that that would NEVER be the case if we couldn't come, but still....I dunno, I guess I'm just to much of a worrier!!
The countdown is on till my Bff has this baby girl of hers!!! I think I'm more excited than she is, but I'm just anxious to hold her.....there is nothing quite like holding a brand new baby and I figure since it will never be mine that I'm holding...I may as well enjoy everyone elses!!!! This little girl is going to be spoiled rotten!!!
My hands and wrist have been killing me lately!!! I know that I have a cyst in the one wrist that will be requiring surgery in October, but lately both hands/wrist have been sore. Work is just so repetitve and I think the wear and tear is catching up with me. Not sure how I'm going to do this job of mine for 24 more years!! haha!!!
Well...I think that's about all I have to rant about right now.....I was up early for work so I figured what a good time to post my 100th blog!!! I'll be cheking in sometime later on to catch up on some of your blogs!!! Have a fantastic Friday everyone!!!

Blogger troubles!!!
I've been trying to post my blogs on here for the last couple of days, but every time I go to post them, some "error" thing comes up and POOF, there goes my blog!!! So I'm keeping this one short and sweet in case it happens again!!!! Father's Day was great!!! The Hubs, our Girlie and I spent a wonderful, sunny day going bike riding, hanging out and going for a picnic lunch!!! I loved spending the day with my loves....they ROCK!!!! I have a few pics. of our day, but for now I'm going to leave you with one of The Hubs and our Girlie!! (I take a pic. of them every year so that we can compare!!!)

A Treasury of Cards....
Each and every year, my girlie and I try and create a photo card of her to give her dad on Father's Day, and sometimes his Birthday!!! This Father's Day there wasn't going to be enough time for our girlie and I to get together and some up with the annual photo, so being the creative person that I am, I came up with a collage of some photos from over the years and created, what I think, is a F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C Father's Day card for this year!! Here is a collage of some of the previous cards, as well as this years card!!! (The one that is the collage that says Dad in the corner.....just in case you weren't sure!!!) Hope you like!!!

"Ten On Tuesday"
1. Ugh.....I got my first migraine in two years today!!! I'm still feeling crappy and I'm really hoping that this isn't a sign of their impending return!!
2. I've also had an annoying pain in my left shoulder, upper back and chest area. I'm thinking I just pulled something at work, though me being the worrier that I am, also though of heart attack!! lol!!! well, I guess it isn't that since I'm still alive and kicking!!
3. I (we) miss our girlie so, so much!! We had to give up our last weekend with her and half of this coming weekend, so it will be almost an entire month of not getting to spend time with her!!! BOO to that!!
4. As mentioned in my last post, my Bff's baby shower was a hit!! We had lot's of fun, and LOT'S of food!!! She was happy and that's all that mattered!! We have a lunch date set for this Friday and I can't wait!!
5. I had a little melt down today....o.k.....I was being a little dramatic, but hell, it's sooooo frustrating when nothing will fit you because your chest is so large...and, well, other stuff to I guess. I came home and I could feel the tears coming. I walked in the house and I think the Hubs knew I'd just had a bad shopping trip. I walked straight to our room, flopped on the bed and started crying. He came and patted my back (and told me that I'm not fat...) and then I fell asleep for an hour. Guess I was just tired???
6. I am counting down till we are off on holidays!!! 12 more work days to be exact!!!! We are taking our girlie away for a few days, so I'm sure it will be a great time!!
7. I've been faithfully doing my power walks every morning, but I'm getting discouraged because I just don't see any weight coming off!! I know it takes time, but holy hell.....hurry up!!!!!
8. Oh, did I mention that I tried a bathing suit on today???? Yeah, B-I-G mistake!!!! Ugh....I guess that that's probably what triggered my meltdown!!
9. I'm still trying to figure out how to do a header for my blog with pictures in it! I can make my own, but then it ends up ginormous, even when I fit it to size!!! I'll figure out one day!! I really do need a better one!!
10. My Bff (the one who's shower I helped at), got me a GC to get my nails done, so I'm pretty pumped that I may actually have girly, pretty hands soon......The Hubs will like it when he gets his backed scratched!! (and not the way you're thinking.....so dirty!!! hehe!!)

This little Girl is already sooooo loved!!!
Today was one of my BFF'S baby shower. There were about 40 people and it was at a really nice hall.....quite pretty, really. My friend truly, truly deserves this baby (a little girl...yay!!!). She has been through alot and has been there for me through all my ups and downs. Let me tell you....this little girl received so many wonderful gifts today...and my friend??? There was so much love in that room today for her and her unborn little girl.....I can't wait to hold her, cuddle her and love her to bits!!! I may not be family, but I'll love and adore her just the same!!! I will leave you with a pic. of me and my bestie and the sweet lil' girl that will bless us soon with her presence!!!

"Ten on Tuesday"
1. Today I made a phonecall and threatened legal action if a problem wasn't fixed IMMEDIATELY!!!! I'm not usually this harsh, but enough is enough!!! Needless to say the guy called back!! It remains to be seen if the problem gets solved!!
2. I miss our girlie sooooo much!!! It was our weekend to have her this past weekend, but she had soccer all day Saturday, then her friends b-day party after that was a sleepover......we didn't want to spend the day Sunday driving all day, so we gave up our weekend so she could have fun.....now the next weekend we have her she has her mom's work party all day Saturday.....needless to say we won't see her much that weekend either!!! *sigh*
3. My new "job" is going great so far!!! It is friggin awesome knowing where I'm going to be each and everyday.....and no more random phonecalls!!!!!!
4. One of my BFF's baby shower is this weekend!!! Normally I would totally dread this event.....but I'm just way to happy for her to feel this way!!! I think it's going to be a great day!!!! I will post pictures after the grand event!!!
5. I almost...ALMOST contemplated not going to work yesterday!!! I felt like crap.....but my job isn't rocket science, so I suffered and went in anyways!! Glad that I didn't waste a sick day!!
6. I am counting down the days till we get outta this city!! We have 3 more weeks till we leave on our little vacation......with our Girlie of course!!!!! I love having our family time together!!!
7. I am trying to figure out what we're going to do for the Hubs Father's Day card this year!! Every year our Girlie and I do some kind of fun picture of her, and make a Father's Day card out of it!!! It gets harder each and every year to come up with something new!!! Gonna have to rack my brains out this year!!
8. I went out dress shopping this morning to look for something to wear to my Bff's baby shower!!! There are some pretty cute dresses, but let me tell ya....when you have a large chest.....NOTHING fits like it should!!! It's sooooooo depressing!!!
9. Is it sad that I'm already wishing it was Friday?!?!!? The Hubs and I have plans to hit a patio for lunch after our Girlies soccer game!!! I enjoy this time together......we sit and chat about stuff going on and things that we want to do!!!! It's great!!!
10. I bought a new climbing plant today for the garden...I know, not exciting.....but they are my babies and I'm excited to see it start to bloom and twine its way around things!!!!! (o.k.....I need to get a life, but whatever!!!)
