Real Quick To Cover The Hangers

1. I am absolutely 100% NOT pregnant. Thank god. The queasiness went away, took a test also, it came back negatory!

2. I know I said 48 hours about the other thing, but last week was just too freaking crazy. Being sick and working and everything was not fun. Jail. I was nominated by someone to "serve time" for MDA's (Muscular Dystrophy Association) annual Telethon Executive Lock Up. My bail is set at $2,400 and I have every intention of hitting that goal, or at least coming damn close. I will eventually be posting more info including a link to my MDA Lock Up homepage where people can make secure (tax deductible) donations. I am really excited to do this as it is one of my goals for this year to give back to charity.

3. This is like the best news: After being laid off from work for one week and six days, my husband go another position with in his old company!! He went back to work on Friday, same pay, same everything. The only new thing is his title and his schedule. Which we still aren't sure exactly what it will be.... More than likely he will be working weekends for now, which sucks since I obviously work weekdays. BUT, I would rather have him working and me not get to spend all weekend with him, than have him NOT working at all. Plus, now we can get all of our shit paid off!!! WoooHooo!!! I am so freaking happy, and have been since Thursday (the day he found out he was going back to work). I have two lovely floral arrangements that I will eventually post pics of on Myspace...

4. Do you ever feel like you invest way too much of yourself into others, and other things (like work)? I rarely feel this way anymore since I learned my lesson about balance and knowing when you are useful, and when you are just being used. Lately, I feel like I have invested more than I should in a couple of things, predominately work. I keep thinking, "Why am I doing this when it's not my responsibility?" Not that I mind the work, but if someone doesn't care enough to do something, then why do I? Ultimately, I know WHY I do the stuff I do, and that's because I want where ever I work to be a successful environment, and preferably work with people I don't loathe. I have that for the most part, but more and more I realize my job title doesn't come close to encompassing all the extracurricular bull shit I have to deal with so that OTHER people look good too.... This is turning into a monster of a topic and I feel like I am gonna start rambling, but yeah, that's been bothering me lately... If that even made any sense to anyone...

And that's about it. Sorry K I know you were hoping for a mini-Alicia, but I am just not ready yet! Someday maybe...
