D.I.N.K.S

Holy Moley... Only 38 Work days of Left until maternity Leave on Nov 30!!

Sean and I joke that these are the days of bounty, you know because we are
"D-I-N-K-S"- double income no kids. I'm quite sad that this phase of our lives will be over soon... its been quite fun! I remember making my first purchase once I landed my first real job after BYU. I bought myself a $50 armband radio for exercising, and since i had a $25 gift certificate, it really only cost me $25. I remember feeling so free when i bought it... i had my very own money, no strings attached! I felt like an adult for the very first time, and it was exhilerating. I love being financilly independent, knowing that if something ever happened, i can support myself.

This child had better be worth loosing my independance. So Long Disposable income, hello disposable diapers, sleepless nights, and an Ulgh... Budget.

Dont get me wrong though we are both very excited for Dixie's arrival. A new phase of life, a new adventure, a new challenge to concur.

so i bought this awesome winter jacket on line in my pre pregnancy size..... is this wishful thinking? I sure hope not cause its hella cute, and i have no plans to re-do my wardrobe in a larger size post baby.

Sweet Release...

Things are slowly winding down at work. Still busy, but not working weekends or staying past 6:30pm during the week, so actually its just how i like it to be. I hate it when things are slow, as the days take so long to pass. I much prefer to be a busy bee all day long, but able to clock out at 6pm and enjoy the weekends to myself.

Anyhoo, after working the last 2 weekends including labor day (which the rest of the company had off as a stat holiday), but boss said that I should take some vacation. I told her that I was taking 2 days off next week to go to Mexico on my babymoon. She said, "Good, Dont Book it." Which means that I dont have to use my vacation hours, and it is essentially a free vacation, as I will be paid out the hours that I would have used up during my maternity leave in December! Bonus $$. Not that I havent worked for it... but its just nice to be recognized sometimes. It makes the long hours worth it in the end. She also called me her "right arm" during the past week, which is also nice to hear, because sometimes I'm just not sure if I'm cutting it in the corporate world!

So, anyhoo, next Thurs, Friday, Sat & Sun I will be in Peurto Vallerta Mexico hanging out at the Marriott Casa Magna pool, ordering room service, watching pay per view, walking on the beach, and just being a beach bum. Its our mini break before the baby :) I Cant Wait! I probably wont post any pictures because lets not lie here, a 7 month pregnant lady does not look good on the beach.

Tis the Season


Ok, so i really should not be wasting time on blogger right now... as it quarter end close at work coupled with a last minute acquisition.... so I'm extremely busy in the land of accounting... we're talking public accounting days busy... but my eyes are getting blurry from too much excel... so they needed a break.

Anyhoo.. i just had to say that in order to make it into work this morning, i had to motivate myself with a yummy pumpkin cream cheese muffin for breakfast from starbucks. They are seriously Delicious. I only ever allow myself one or two a season (they are the fall specialty item), as they are full calorie, full fat... and full of deliciousness. The promise of having one for breakfast got me out the door this morning at 7:15am... so i think it was well worth the calories. Plus i had a salad for lunch.. so maybe that evens it up a bit.

Oh, and i DONT have gestational diabetes. My glucose test was perfect. My doctor is a hypochondriac.

Ode to joy, only 3 more months left of this!!

Little Georgia who will be 11 months older that Dixie, and now Adrienne's baby (sex unknown) that will be 4 months younger! Wow.. there must be something in the water. I wonder who's next??


Horray for cousins! Congrats to Rob & Adrienne!
