Lisa

So Lisa (my old roommate, from NoDak, shout out to NoDak peeps!) had her baby Girl last week (a week ago, weird!). It is little Anna Jean Konsti. She was 5 lbs, 14 oz's, 19 inches long. Both mom and baby (and dad, for that matter) are doing well. I went to go see Anna on Saturday. Oh man is she cute!! She is such a doll. I Love her to death!! I can't wait to be an aunt someday... I did say someday, Sarah! Not tomorrow!! :)

Still in the process of moving. It's.. moving... right along! I would say we are about 98% completed with moving, and about 15% with cleaning. We should have about 2 more trips with our two cars, and one more trip to clean everything. I will be so glad once it's all over. It's stressful. I am stressed out, and frustrated that there's still stuff left, and annoyed that it's not done, and all those awful feelings. Therefore, I just can't wait to be done. It's all I've been able to think about, all I've been able to do lately. Grr.

Thankfully, my hours for work have changed. I am now working a compressed work week, 8-6 Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 8-5:30 on Wednesday, and Thursday off. I will actually be really glad when that starts, because it will be REALLY nice to have a day off during the week. I can't WAIT for it!

That's about all for now.

Moving....

Hi!

So this last weekend, I spent moving. Yuck! It was good to get it all done, but I am very exhausted and tired and sore now. I feel like I need a day off, but my next day off won't be until November, for my birthday. So, with the problems with the time on the uhaul, getting it about 2.5 hours after I was supposed to, my wrists giving out, and therefore me not being able to carry pretty much anything, the spousal "incident" and calling the police on some loud neighbors, someone cutting me off and me actually honking the horn at someone while driving the uHaul..... In any case, it was a productive, eventful, and, in a sense, awful, the move is almost done!!! I would guess I have about 3-4 trips back and forth and then I am completely done. YAY!!!

I got a call from my old roommate Lisa. She was (I believe as of Friday), dialated to 1.5 CM. YAY! That means the peanut will be born sometime this week. They have a name picked out, Anna Jean Konsti, which is super cute!

My commute into work this morning was approx. 20 minutes. YAY! I have not had a commute that short in over 2 years (probably when I was working at Microsoft and my drive was about a mile).

My sister went to Syria for the start of Ramadan. See blog <=== (over there). It's amazing to hear about her experiences.
