My husband saved my life last night. I was snoozing away around 2:30AM, oblivious to the world, when our house filled up with smoke. It woke him up, and he ran out into the living room to help put out the fire that started in our guest bathroom trash can. We’re not 100% sure how it started, but we found two teenage boys standing there. One saying, “It wasn’t me! Don’t look at me!” and the other one in panic mode pouring water into the trashcan.

We opened up all the windows and tried to air the house out the best we could. I crawled back into bed with the blankets pulled up over my nose and went back to sleep. I think my last words to the boys were, “We will talk about this tomorrow night when I get home from work.”

Now excuse me while I go check on our renters insurance coverage…

house fire, teenagers, boys, grounded

Michael and I are playing house again tonight. Babies are so much fun when they are not your own.

And way cooler when they have their own You Tube channel.

Happy Friday, and Happy May! May is one of my favorite months in Las Vegas. It is just gorgeous here today, and very hard to sit inside and work. I got a letter in the mail about my test the other day. It said that my mammogram showed abnormalities, and I was to call my doctor. When I called them, they switched my appointment to Tuesday of next week instead of Monday. Thanks guys! Make me wait anotheranother day, why don’t you…sigh.

I’ve got a hella “to-do-list” of things I want to get done this weekend. I just want to keep busy, and make the weekend fly by. WOW! I never thought I would see myself type that. Usually I want the weekends to be 5 days, and 2 days for work. HEH!

mammogram, to-do-list, weekend

Luckily, my mood to choke a co-worker struck right around lunch time, so I was able to leave the office and get away for awhile. And what do I do when the mood strikes to choke said co worker? I go to Walgreen’s and buy ridiculous amounts of nail polish. The lady in the cosmetic department knows me by name, and probably knows my credit card number by heart.

Never in my working career have I had trouble with co-workers. In fact, I married an ex co-worker, and many of my closest friends are ex co-workers. This one is just trouble…bad bad trouble. I’m doing everything in my power to just stay away from her, and yes that includes spending money frivolously.

What would you do if the mood strikes to choke someone? (hypothetically speaking of course)

P.S. (Happy Birthday Jane!)

I’ve always wanted to have another baby and name him Julian after one of my favorite songs, Hey Jude. When I was pregnant with my oldest son I fought with his father for close to 6 months, trying to convince him to let me name him Julian. Obviously I lost that battle, but then I saw this video it just melted my heart! I wonder if his name is Julian.

A quick Beatles fact: “Hey Jude” was meant to be “Hey Jules”, but McCartney changed the name because he thought “Jude” was an easier name to sing.

Beatles, Hey Jude, John Lennon, Julian Lennon
