current thoughts
when i get to work in the mornings there are two things i immediately do: 1. order my double tall skim mocha from Local grounds and 2. check my email accounts - all three of them. i received an email from my mama that read; "i miss my baby girl.........mama." warning: sappy moment ahead! my heart went kerplunk and i fought the tears that were welling up in my eyes. i love my mama so much and we don't see each other nearly as often as we should. words that describe my mama: selfless, sentimental, determined, creative, nurturing, and warm-hearted. i'm counting the days (15) until she visits for my bridal shower. good times ahead.
speaking of counting the days, only 42 until i become mrs. ridlon. wow, so much to think about and plan. I met with our florist and good friend vickie, who is my "mom away from mom", yesterday to pick out our flowers and can i just say what a relief it is to have that done?! check! we've been chatting for months now and she had everything wrote down and pictures to show me when i got to her store. the day will be filled with soft white peonies and roses, vivid pink and white hydrangeas with a splash of chartreuse green ribbon.
work is going great. we finally received approval from the executive board committee to hire another full-time employee. to say that we are understaffed and overworked would be an understatement. this person will take over my responsibilities as office manager enabling the time I so badly need to get out of the office and network with all the new businesses in our community. so my new title will be financial and membership director. big title...iddy biddy pay. also, adam and I decided that my cleaning business was taking too much of my time and energy on weekends so bye bye cleaning services. i won't miss you.
so maybe i'm jumping the gun here but i can't stop thinking about having another baby. adam, stop cringing and biting your nails. for some strange reason i'm still receiving the monthly issues of child and i haven't the foggiest idea why, i haven't subscribed or paid in like three years. things from the latest issue that has me feverish for a babe...
baby girl felt hair clips...
mary jane socks...
robeez shoes...

#1, Brenner can wear all of these things posted. He might not like it, but damn it, he is a kid and he will wear what you tell him to. No new baby needed.
ReplyDelete#2, The shower next weekend is going to be AWESOME! And the party this weekend will be much needed for me :)
#3, Is it cheesy to have a baby shower for a puppy? ha, ha, ha.....
