Green and White
Saturday night we went to my friend Connie's house for "green and white dinner". I took green beans (thanks sarahlynn) and cheese fondue. Who knew that green and white food could be so diverse and so wonderful. Next time is supposed to be purple and orange. I wonder if we'll be invited back? hah.

Izear
It's important that Kessie fixed my blog...because I had something important to say.
The other day I was waited on by a guy at wawa named Izear. He was old and hunchbacked and sort of odd...and I wondered to myself as I read his name tag..."did his parents mean to name him Isaiah but they couldn't spell it?"
That's what I've wanted to blog for the past 2 weeks.
thanks so so so much Kessie and Dan. I won't ever touch those important files again!

Good
Dan started his new job w/ Trent's company and appears to be ecstatic about working for a real company. I am ecstatic for him.
Raclette grill has been shipped and I've ordered that cheese so the raclette party will happen very soon.
Two words: Madam Speaker. Hell yea!
My new salary kicks major effing butt. It's even more than we'd planned on.
I've finished the book club book, Lucky In The Corner, way before time for book club. (for a change).
My diet is going well. I've stuck to my points for 3 days. It hasn't been easy but it's the way things will be.
My baby points to her nose and says "beepbeepbeepbeep". She also says "ow" as she stabs people and dogs and cats with her little knife. It's so stinkin cute.
Grand Master Flash being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Don't push me cuz I'm close to the.....edge.
Finally got to watch True Romance (thanks Terri!). That movie kicks bootay.
Bad
Motion denied in child support after 3 excrutiating hours in the waiting room w/ the ex and his mullet wearing c-word of a wife glaring at me. This isn't so bad since I don't need their money anyway anddddd it gave me a chance to finish that book, but I do hate losing at anything.
Dan's commute for orientation lasted almost 3 hours yesterday causing him to experience road rage. I reminded him that this too will pass and he came home all happy so it seems ok.
Trevor has hit puberty with running start and is rarely a joy to be around these days.
Two words: puppy poop.

Is this why we can't go out in public?
Melting pot on New Years Eve was fun. We ate to the point of bursting and they even gave us prizes. I would suggest that Jamie and Ashley got the best prize since they won a $25 gift certificate, but Terri and Becky got the blue glowing ice cubes. How can you beat that? I have video of Aaron with this ice cube, it's awesome...just need to find my camera cord thingy.

Newness
I got a new job today. I'll still be working for the school system, but as a computer engineer vs a sys admin. I can't put into words how much this rocks for us.
Moscati D'Asti rocks btw. The light bubbles and sweet flavor are just what I needed after a day of slimfast and salad.

Raclette
A lady at the wine store told me about Raclette. It's sort of like fondue only with a little grill. I want to try it. If anyone wants to contribute to the raclette fund, I'll host a party or 10 and we'll cook and eat and drink and be merry. For more info, try google or flickr or ebay.

ps. this in no way impedes my diet...I'm still gonna eat right, dammit.

Juan more time
There comes a time when you have to stop making excuses for the fatness, the poorness and the laziness. Why not today? Yesterday was a holiday and the day before was New Years Eve, the one before that was new years eve eve. Today, all I could come up with was the burial of a dead president. So that does it. Today I hopped back on the scales and saw the huge amount of damage I've done to myself over the past few months (years) (since tess was born, actually. Though it could hardly be called baby fat anymore). Good times, all of it.
Time to diet, time to find new jobs and time to throw out more of our junk. If you hear my family shrieking in horror, you know why. You've been warned. They have not.
