So, it seems that my Slim Fast diet and increased exercise was worth it...  We just tried on my dress, and it fits!  I added the extra hook and eye closures just to be sure that it was sturdy, and I will probably wear the corset just as a little extra insurance...  But, it fits!  Thank you, thank you, thank you, sweet baby Jesus!!!  I plan on continuing the diet just to be sure, but I am no longer ready to cry or have a nervy b...  Yay!  Later days...

I can't believe that my former intern is already done working at my library...  But, more than that, I cannot believe she was so lucky to find a job already -- at which she starts today!  Granted, she was awesome and she deserves every bit of praise I gave her, so I am not completely surprised that she found a job already...  It's just that things never seem to work out so well for many people when they graduate...  I guess interning at my library is just good luck -- because finding a job (technically before graduation) has happened to me, Flower, Tech Girl, AND my former intern (for whom I still need to come up with a clever blog name)...  So, congrats FI -- hope your first day is great!!!  Later days...

Clark never ceases to amaze me...  He stayed home from work today and got all sorts of unsoldering and soldering done...  So, it seems that we should be able to turn water back on in our house again tonight!  There is one small leak that he is patching as I type, and then we should be good to go...  Oh, my, I am sooooooo happy!  On a side note, I just wanted to remind everyone that my posts and e-mail checking will probably be sparse over the next week...  (Arizona, Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Vegas, baby!!!)...  Later days...

It's hard to put a price on happiness, but I know this money is well spent -- as it will make many people very happy...  That is how much I just put on my credit card so that Clark, Boogie, and I can fly out to to visit my uncle...  We will be flying into Arizona so I can meet the cousins I have never met (and their kids!), and then Clark and I will be renting a car to make a side-trip to the Grand Canyon (with Boogie, of course)...  After that, we will meet up with my uncle in Vegas!!!  (He works there, so he has a condo where we will be staying)...  OMG!  I am soooo freakin' excited!!!!!!!  Later days...

I am so happy...  Clark and I were talking the other day about how I am less comfortable in my body than I would like to be...  I haven't gotten fat or anything, but I have started to get a little extra "padding"...  Clark swears that I am still "hot," but I am more concerned with my own perception than his at the moment...  Besides, exercise is supposed to help with depression and insomnia...  I mentioned that I had been thinking about joining Curves again, and he asked me what was stopping me...  To be honest, money was the only issue for a while...  And now, I am being "forced" to work a few extra hours per week (there's a new schedule for all full timers, not just me), so I figured that this would be a good time to just go for it...  I can afford it again, and Clark is willing to help me arrange my schedule around a couple workouts a week, so why not?!?  On the way home last night, I decided to stop in and sign up...  This morning, after I took Boogie to daycare, I got to go in for my measurements and my first workout...  I love this Curves!  The owner is wicked nice, they have all of the machines (some locations don't), and it is only a 1-2 minute drive from my house...  Awesome!  Now, I am just doing a little bit of laundry before heading out to work...  A good day, indeed!  Later days...

If you, or anyone you know, is feeling a little achy and think a hand and/or foot rub would help -- I have a massage therapist for you!  This woman (who also happens to be my friend) is simply amazing...  I used to call her Masseuse in this blog, but I guess I need a new name for her...  So, Mrs. Massage Therapist, what shall I call you?!? Or is "Mrs. Massage Therapist" a good name?!? Teeheehee...  Later days...

There is a girl (well, technically a "woman" who is a few years older than me) who is pregnant, and we managed to hit it off while we were both trying...  I am obviously not pregnant right now, nor am I even trying at this point (the whole fertility treatment risks vs. goal thing just isn't jiving at the moment), but I am completely digging this whole mentoring thing...  It's like I'm her pregnancy "big sister," and I think it's pretty cool...  I get to talk about all kinds of baby stuff and feel like the "pro"...  Teeheehee...  Plus, I honestly like her and wish her well with the whole pregnancy/delivery/motherhood/breastfeeding thing...  I just found out a couple of our friends from college are gonna have a baby, so maybe I can even be her mentor too!  Teeheehee...  Later days...

So, after Clark and I went to bed near 3:15am, and I did not fall asleep until somewhere around 4am (though I think Clark fell asleep almost immediately after he closed his eyes), Boogie decided he was going to wake up at SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING...  Bleck...  Since I have an amazing hubby who is used to functioning on little sleep after D&D on Friday nights, though, I was able to stay in bed...  The problem was that Boogie kept crying for me, so I had to move downstairs and crash in the couch...  I couldn't actually sleep, but having my eyes closed was nearly good enough -- especially since trying to keep them open made it feel like they would just up and roll out...  But then, Clark took it one step further...  He took Boogie to watch Unka's football practice and I got to take a nap!  Oh, glorious sleep!  They came back and had lunch in the basement while watching TV because it is ungodly hot and humid, and I ended up getting up at like 11:20am...  Definitely felt like I was back in college!  Teeheehee...  Getting ready to head downstairs and play me some Guitar Hero II while Clark starts his Paper Mario adventure...  (Boogie is napping upstairs)...  Man, this is shaping up to be a nice day!  Teeheehee...  Later days...

Happy birthday -- to the love of my life, the father of my child, and my best friend...  I could never have made it this far in this crazy life without you as my rock...  I love you more than anything or anyone (except Boogie, of course, and you agree on that one)...  Thank you for being my world...  I love you, baby...  Later days...

This morning, the drop-off went really well...  Boogie didn't cry at all, and he seemed almost happy to be going in to school...  Then, it got even weirder...  This afternoon, he actually started whining that he "Gowanna go home!  Wanna go back to gool!"  Nice!!!  Man, I hope this improved mood remains!  Later days...
