Sorry I have been MIA for a while. I am having a yard sale tomorrow, and have been trying to get ready for that!
I had yesterday off, and spent most of the day out in the garage pulling stuff out and pricing stuff, getting everything ready.
I will by up at about 5:30 in the morning to start setting stuff up, go to the grocery store to get change (get paid at midnight tonight...) and put up the signs. Fun fun.
I will try and post a better post after saturday! Pray for lots of sales!

6 1/2 Months
Ok, so some people have been bugging me for a belly shot, so here is one...
Keep in mind that half of that belly was present before I got pregnant. ;-) hehe.
Oh, and I got my hair cut this morning, what do you think?
(please excuse the filthy mirror and dirty bathroom...)

take a guess!
Ok, so I have had this on my sidebar for a while, but haven't had too many guesses as of yet.
Since we are getting closer, I wanted to put it out there for you all to enter. And, there will be a prize for whoever is closest in the most categories!
This contest will close when the baby is born! (obviously!) And the winner will be sent a small gift. (within a couple weeks of the birth)
So, have fun guessing, and good luck!

I am so sick of it!
So lately at work things have gotten worse again. They were bad after I started working there, then got better for a while, but lately have started down the sinker again.
I am so sick of people who are nice to your face and talk crap about you behind your back, blame you for everything that goes wrong, and complain about how you do everything. Seriously? I didn't realize I was back in jr. high.
Apparently lately some of the girls have been saying that I only like to work at one station, and if they let me I would stay there all day... which yeah, I do like that station, but I go where I am needed. If there is something to be done at one place, I go get it done. I don't care where I am working... But they seem to have it in their heads that I try and only work there all the time and I will take over their spot if they move... Totally not true, but whatever.
Well, today, one of the girls (the newer girl, who I thought was really nice, but is starting to show her true colors) was working at one end, and I went to help a customer in drive through. I finished with the customer and was walking towards the other end of the pharmacy. The person took a few minutes to drive away, and I guess the girl thought I hadn't helped them, cause I over heard her make a snide comment to one of the other girls saying "Well, I guess I'll go do her job."
Like I hadn't just helped them, and seriously? Am I the only one there whose job it is to help customers? It is such BS! I am so sick of being treated like the Peon.
Part of me wishes my Doctor would put me on bedrest so I would have an excuse to not work. haha.
It is just getting ridiculous. One of the girls is trying to get fired "so she can collect unemployment." She seriously said that! And she has been acting like the biggest bitch (scuse my language) Trying to get fired. Guess she doesn't realize that when you get fired for poor performance, or something along those lines, you can't collect unemployment! duh! But it seriously sucks working with her.
Anyways, I am done ranting... though I could go on for a long time... Pray for my sanity! Only 3 1/2 more months until I can leave! Then I have at least 3 months off, and I plan on looking into transferring to a different store, just so I don't have to put up with this crap anymore. It is not fun when you dread going to work every day.
Hope everyone else is having a good week!

Our weekend...
So this weekend we went to Manteca. We got there around 9 on Friday night, and hung out with my mom and dad.
Saturday I woke up super early (like 5:30am) because I couldn't fall back asleep... So I got up, took ours and my parents dog for a walk (or got pulled along the whole way and ended up with shin splints because of it...) Then went garage sale-ing and found a really nice pack-n-play for $30. Then went to the street fair in Manteca and just walked around (it was still early and some people were still setting up.)
After I got home we went to lunch with some friends, and went to Walmart to buy Josh some slacks, then hung out for a while before my friend Holly's wedding. After the wedding we hung out at my parent's for the evening.
Sunday we went to church, then went shopping with my parents, and they bought us our Stroller/carseat combo. It is the Evenflo Aura travel system. Here is a picture of the pattern:
The picture doesn't show the colors that well, It is a pretty blue and green... a pretty neutral pattern. If we have a girl I will have to add some pink or something, since it is slightly more boy-ish. But it was nice, and was on sale. I will post a real picture next time we go to my parent's house. We had to leave it there for now since we took our car and it wouldn't fit.
I worked all day today, nursing my shin splints.... Tried wrapping them in ace bandages, and using icy-hot. Neither seemed to help much. Unfortunately I can't take ibuprofen, but tylenol has taken the edge off a bit. =)
Hope everyone had a good Monday!

Personality Test
I took a personality test on Facebook, and here is the result... It is so accurate!
ISFJ
The Nurturer
Introverted Sensing Feeling Judging
Quiet, kind, and conscientious. Can be depended on to follow through. Usually puts the needs of others above their own needs. Stable and practical, they value security and traditions. Well-developed sense of space and function. Rich inner world of observations about people. Extremely perceptive of other's feelings. Interested in serving others
As an ISFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you takes things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system.
ISFJs live in a world that is concrete and kind. They are truly warm and kind-hearted, and want to believe the best of people. They value harmony and cooperation, and are likely to be very sensitive to other people's feelings. People value the ISFJ for their consideration and awareness, and their ability to bring out the best in others by their firm desire to believe the best.
ISFJs have a rich inner world that is not usually obvious to observers. They constantly take in information about people and situations that is personally important to them, and store it away. This tremendous store of information is usually startlingly accurate, because the ISFJ has an exceptional memory about things that are important to their value systems. It would not be uncommon for the ISFJ to remember a particular facial expression or conversation in precise detail years after the event occured, if the situation made an impression on the ISFJ.
ISFJs have a very clear idea of the way things should be, which they strive to attain. They value security and kindness, and respect traditions and laws. They tend to believe that existing systems are there because they work. Therefore, they're not likely to buy into doing things in a new way, unless they're shown in a concrete way why its better than the established method.
ISFJs learn best by doing, rather than by reading about something in a book, or applying theory. For this reason, they are not likely to be found in fields which require a lot of conceptual analysis or theory. They value practical application. Traditional methods of higher education, which require a lot of theorizing and abstraction, are likely to be a chore for the ISFJ. The ISFJ learns a task best by being shown its practical application. Once the task is learned, and its practical importance is understood, the ISFJ will faithfully and tirelessly carry through the task to completion. The ISFJ is extremely dependable.
The ISFJ has an extremely well-developed sense of space, function, and aesthetic appeal. For that reason, they're likely to have beautifully furnished, functional homes. They make extremely good interior decorators. This special ability, combined with their sensitivity to other's feelings and desires, makes them very likely to be great gift-givers - finding the right gift which will be truly appreciated by the recipient.
More so than other types, ISFJs are extremely aware of their own internal feelings, as well as other people's feelings. They do not usually express their own feelings, keeping things inside. If they are negative feelings, they may build up inside the ISFJ until they turn into firm judgments against individuals which are difficult to unseed, once set. Many ISFJs learn to express themselves, and find outlets for their powerful emotions.
Just as the ISFJ is not likely to express their feelings, they are also not likely to let on that they know how others are feeling. However, they will speak up when they feel another individual really needs help, and in such cases they can truly help others become aware of their feelings.
The ISFJ feels a strong sense of responsibility and duty. They take their responsibilities very seriously, and can be counted on to follow through. For this reason, people naturally tend to rely on them. The ISFJ has a difficult time saying "no" when asked to do something, and may become over-burdened. In such cases, the ISFJ does not usually express their difficulties to others, because they intensely dislike conflict, and because they tend to place other people's needs over their own. The ISFJ needs to learn to identify, value, and express their own needs, if they wish to avoid becoming over-worked and taken for granted.
ISFJs need positive feedback from others. In the absence of positive feedback, or in the face of criticism, the ISFJ gets discouraged, and may even become depressed. When down on themselves or under great stress, the ISFJ begins to imagine all of the things that might go critically wrong in their life. They have strong feelings of inadequacy, and become convinced that "everything is all wrong", or "I can't do anything right".
The ISFJ is warm, generous, and dependable. They have many special gifts to offer, in their sensitivity to others, and their strong ability to keep things running smoothly. They need to remember to not be overly critical of themselves, and to give themselves some of the warmth and love which they freely dispense to others.

I think that will work!

False alarm and sleeplessness
Yesterday I had a weird feeling all day, almost like I was leaking fluid. I called my doctor, and they said that if it continued that I should go to L&D to get checked out. so last night when I got off work at 8:15 we headed to the hospital.
We were there for two hours while they ran a couple tests and waited for the results. Turns out everything is normal and looks good... praise God!
We left the hospital and rean through a drive through (it was 10:30 and we hadn't eaten dinner yet!) came home, watched America's Next top Model, then went to bed.
I slept ok for the first few hours, but then the dog woke me up needing to go out... twice... which she only does if she gets sick (we learned the hard way... cleaning up dog poo in the bedroom at 4am is not fun...) and then Josh started tossing and turning, and I couldn't fall back asleep, so I ended up going into the guest room. I managed to get a little more sleep before I had to get up, but Man, I am still exhausted!
Thank goodness I have tomorrow off. I have a list of things to do though, including cleaning, some grocery shopping, buying a wedding gift for a friend's wedding on saturday, then packing to go to said wedding. We are leaving after Josh gets off work. The Wedding is in Manteca, so we will stay with my parents again. =) I always love spending time with them.
Anyways... My back has been hurting today... I think I may go find the heating pad. (I really need a massage! Anyone want to buy me one? ;-) hehe.)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
