ANNOUNCEMENT!

I finally just made the announcement today...

I'm PREGNANT!!

I couldn't be happier and feel so blessed!  We're so excited to be parents and meet our little ray of sunshine!!

I've been blogging privately in a different blog but since the cat is out of the bag, I should be able to share that soon.  :)

Thankful

Lately, I have been more and more thankful for everything that I have in life.  I have a family who cares about and loves me tremendously. I have a Husband who adores me and would move the world for me. I have friends who I love and care about where the feelings are mutual. I have a roof over my head every day and night. I have a job that helps pay the bills and allows me to live comfortably. 

I can't imagine why I wouldn't love my life at the moment. 

Life, I love you.  Thank you.

The Help

I finished this book before the movie comes out (August 10th).  I seriously couldn't put it down.  I laughed and cried with the characters and it was definitely an eye opener.  I feel a bit ignorant admitting that I didn't know that things were to this extreme in Jackson, Mississippi back in the 1960's.

 

 The Help

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a good read.  I am so surprised that this is the author (Kathryn Stockett)'s first novel.  It was beautifully and well written, I thought she had at least 10 novels under her belt!

Anyway, go pick it up and read it. It will make you appreciate the days that we live in now and our living situations.  

Now, I can't wait to see the movie.  Of course, I know it will not be as good as the book (it never is), but it will be good to see.

The Help Movie

Want to see a trailer too?  Okay fine!

Lights Out!

(I wrote this earlier and I guess I just SAVED it rather than PUBLISHED it.  Ooopsies!)

Today, I showed up at work 15 minutes earlier than I had to be.  This is my usual though, so it wasn’t really a big deal.  I had a feeling that it was going to be a busy day because there were so many cars in front of our building.  Given that there is a bank downstairs, but still, why would it be so busy at  7:45am?  The bank doesn’t open until another few hours.  Oh well… the day continues, I guess.

Got inside and learned that the powers are out.  The dark building should have been obvious, but I guess I was too distracted getting out of the car to notice at the time.  I had to take the stairs… ugh.  I haven’t walked the stairs at work since 2005… for fun!  Anyway, our floor was scary dark.  Luckily there was some light in the hallway, thanks to the little generated electricity provided.  Got to our office and two of my coworkers were already there… in the dark!  We called the boss and let him know.  He was on his way anyway.  We decided to go get some coffee at a nearby Starbucks.  Came back and the power still wasn’t back on.  Boss man sent us home and now, we are working from home.  There is not much that I can do without our server at work besides check my email and respond to any questions that our clients and contractors may have.  And with the holiday weekend, most of them are already out of the office on this Friday!  So, I shall wait.

I guess this will be a good time for me to reflect on my life and what’s been going on around me and sharing it, huh?  This would be the perfect time to do that… as I put my first load of laundry in the wash.  But first, lets see what’s on TV! 

I will be back!  HAPPY FRIDAY to you, too!!  J
