I FINALLY GET TO MEET THE IN-LAWS!!!
Sorted: Just Life, Site Updates

I know it sounds weird, not meeting the in-laws until a year after being married, but that’s what happens when they live 1,000 miles away. They live in Kansas where Jess is originally from. I have talked to them on the phone a bunch of times but now we get to meet in person and they get to meet their new grandson. My sister in law and my nephew are also coming. Last night I turned the house upside down cleaning and Jess cleaned and mowed the lawn. They’re staying at our house so they’re sleeping in our room and we’re taking the living room. So consider this a week-long hiatus. I’ll return with pictures and an account of how everything went. (The pictures of my nephew and son together are going to be adorable!!)

I made a squidoo lens. Sorted: Uncategorized 3 Comments
{edit}When I originally posted this I didn’t link to it right, which is why it was saying something like “This page could be yours!” but it’s fixed now. *Kicks self*{/edit}
I made a squidoo lens, it’s called Unconventional Beauty and I’m trying to get the word out on it because it has a really good message behind it! Go look!

I added this new theme on Friday but didn’t have time to write a post of any kind, but I love it. It feels more like home now.
It’s an awesome pic of Angus Young from AC/DC and I’m loving the colors. I wish I had some more to say right now, but with the way my life is I’m sure I’ll have something of significance to say soon. Here’s a cute picture to look at.

last night in the kitchen with wes Sorted: Homies, Me And My Homeboy, Smarty Pants School Stuff 4 Comments
Jess: Yeah, Saturday we’re working a full 8 hours.
Me: *Hmmph.*
Jess: But that night I’m taking you out for our anniversary.
Me: Yay!
Wes: I was gonna have a party Friday night.
Me: For our anniversary?
Wes: … Surprise!
Jess’ overtime ends at the end of this month, I’m kinda relieved even though we won’t be getting as much money every week. But 12 hrs a day, plus working every Saturday is starting to take its little toll on him. He’s not exactly a spring chicken (he’ll be turning 30 in September) but he doesn’t eat right or get enough exercise which makes him feel older, which also lead to his Stage 1 Hypertension, which he has started seeing a Dr. for.
I got my report card in the mail yesterday, and I still hold my GPA of 3.7. I knew I wouldn’t make it back up to 4.0 last quarter but 3.7 isn’t too shabby and at least it didn’t go down. The new quarter started this week, I have Sociology on Wednesday, Medical Office Procedures on Thurs and Medical Law and Ethics Tonight. I missed last night because I felt sick. For Soc I have the same teacher I had for Economics, and when I found out I had her I was excited because her classes are always fun. Lots of group work. She’s not too big on lectures and… work (lol) but we always end up learning a lot. I expect the other two classes should be interesting.
Monday is Jess and my wedding anniversary. 
I can’t believe its already been a year. I love that dude.
Something a little off topic: I can’t believe more people don’t have a gravatar, since they are used in a lot of Wordpress blog comments (not to mention other functions across the net). Its cool to be able to see a pic of the person that left me a comment.

weird things that scared me when I was a kid Sorted: Randomness 6 Comments
When I was a kid I had one wild imagination. I still do for the most part, but I really used to think up some crazy things, which usually got the better of me.
That creepy picture of Jesus’ head that at first glance his eyes look closed but when you look closer they kinda look open. My Grandma had that picture on the wall in her den and when I was a kid I was afraid to go in there, let alone walk by it because it freaked me out.
The cornfield by my Aunt’s old house out in the country. I hadn’t even seen “The Children of the Corn” yet and I already thought cornfields were creepy. It was just so big to me back then, it seemed to go on forever and the thought of getting lost in it kept me from going near it lest I get sucked in or get kidnapped by a scarecrow.
The basement at my Aunt’s old House. (The same one with the cornfield.) I’d go down there and catch toads during the day but I’d never go alone at night. There was a door that led into what looked like a dark tunnel (which I think was just a room) and I thought a monster lived there.
The curtains blowing in the wind at night in the summer time. This was is 1995 after “Twister” and all those tornado movies came out. I’d lay there and awake for most of the night staring at the curtains praying that we wouldn’t have a tornado.
The one-eyed one-legged monster named “Roger” from that old show “Pee Wee’s Playhouse”. I couldn’t get up in the middle of the night and pee because I thought this stupid thing would get me.

there’s hope for me yet! Sorted: My Little Guy, Site Updates 2 Comments
I did it I did it I did it! Comments can be made now and they will actually show up.
I made a wish and its going to come true. I wished for a digital camera, and I’m getting one and the one I’m getting is friggin’ sweet. Its a Canon PowerShot A630, and my friend wants to buy my guitar, so he wants to trade his camera (+$50) for my guitar. That’s a great deal considering how expensive that camera was and how nice it is and how much I got the guitar for. So as soon as I can throw $50 the camera is mine! My friend is a musician and is collecting as many guitars as he can, and I never have time to play it anyway and I’d rather have that camera. It’s a really nice guitar though. I also need to buy a USB cable for it but that’s no big deal. I iz in luv with the camera!
Aiden had his last Dr. appointment and second set of vaccinations on Friday. He is now 4 months old and a whopping 17 lbs 15 oz. (1 oz away from 18) and 26″ long. I’m thinking he’s going to be big and tall like his Daddy. Thankfully he didn’t cry all day like last time, and he did something soo cute. After the nurse gave him his shots (she looked to be about my age, with blonde hair and blue eyes.) and he was crying and screaming she asked him for a smile before she left the room. Out of his tears and whimpers he gave her a little smile. He told me later that he couldn’t let her think he was just a crybaby.
I’ve discovered I have a natural talent… for beer pong. LOL
Also, I have the poetry pages up now. All wordpress integrated.

enjoy my poor grammar in my posts Sorted: Me And My Homeboy, Site Updates 0 Comments
Well, as you can see I’ve gotten this far with my own designed theme. But I don’t have the comments page figured out yet and the sub pages aren’t done yet, so don’t even bother clicking them yet. I’m too busy today to finish it but it will be done soon. It’s finals week and Jess stayed home from work today. He went to the hospital for his sore feet, he has to go see a podiatrist but they also found out when he was there that he has some high blood pressure that he needs to get checked out. 
We both need to go to the dentist also. Eh.
Okay. Off to visit my affs.

The smiley face isn’t so smiley these days. Sorted: Opinions 2 Comments
I’m really glad now we’re becoming more conscientious about what we give to our kids. I got something in the mail that directed me to this website. It would be really nice if our economy could possibly somehow maybe get to a point where we could make our own toys among other things all by ourselves, with out any outside assistance. I don’t mean everything though, trade is a good thing. Its just about keeping a better eye on what comes in. I would really like to see a big change in our economy sometime very soon. For the sake of our kid’s health and their happiness and prosperity in the future.
On a completely different note, 
I’ll be taking some pics of Aiden tonight.

Excitement? Sorted: My Little Guy, Site Updates, Smarty Pants School Stuff 4 Comments
Pardon me for not blogging lately, I haven’t had anything exciting happen. I only try to write when something significant is happening, and this summer is just being pretty dull lately!
(Wants to go camping!)
I installed Enthusiast 3 for my collective and all the listings. I kept Bellabuffs for a few things like the button sorting and contact form where it comes in handy. Good thing I decided to do this before I got any more members. Yep yep.
Its going to be a while before I can get together my own theme for wordpress, its the only thing bugging me right now about it. It just can’t be normal like how I was doing it before, it has to go and be all different. LOL
It’s kinda weird how at the beginning of this term at school (we’re at the last 2 weeks right now) my favorite class was Medical Terminology and my most hated were Word Processing and Date Processing but now it’s switched. I’m really learning to love Excel as I get to know it better, and there are so many things about Word that I never knew. Med Term always has and still is kicking me in the ass though. I’m going to have to pull it all together so I can come out of that class with a B average, because I don’t think I’ll be getting an A.
Our friends are going to California for 3 months for a job, that supposedly is going to pay $250 a day, but on a weekly paycheck. Its building on a movie set, and we’re going to see if it’s legit first, and if it is Jess is going the next time. It would really suck if it wasn’t what they were saying and Jess quit his decent paying union job with good benefits for something that didn’t pan out. I would cry. There’s always next though if it is for real! He’s been pulling some major over-time lately and this coming paycheck is going to be hot. The job search continues for me though.
Grocery shopping, yard sale-ing and getting Aiden some clothes!
Question: Is 3 months too soon to begin teething? It would explain all his crankiness lately, and I think I can see a few little white spots where teeth are starting to stretch against the gums.
PS: Sweeney Todd is the shit. (Got it for my birthday)
