(I'm deleting the post from before because the auto-music is driving me crazy, and probably a few of you, too.)
I've come down with a cold. No good.
I can't stop spilling large drinks on people (usually seniors) at New Job.

It's taken awhile, but I've finally succumbed to my phone's tendency to use the word freakhog instead of freaking. It's also made it into my everyday vocabulary. Despite the fact that...

I also attended a military ball with my friend Sean.

My New Little Buddy (who is yet to be named)

Here he is! And he's perfect. (he scratched his face last night... I guess I'd be a little tripped out, too.) This picture is from today, so he's about... sixteen hours old here.

He was born last night at 7:49 and weight 8.4 pounds... approximately 2 pounds greater than what I guessed. My poor sister was pushing for 3 hours, and the doctor seemed pretty much convinced that she'd need a C-Section, which, after 2 1/2 hours, felt like somewhat of a defeat. (8.4 pounds! She's a small girl, and as the Dr. so graciously put it, "it's just a real tight fit.") But she decided she would try pushing a little longer, and then he started to come. It was so exciting, I've never seen anything like it. And JD was so awesome and knew just what to say to Brittney. I'm so proud of the new parents.
I'll try to figure out how to do one of those cute slideshow things and post that a little later.

In the process of making room on my camera for...

...my sister's baby! yes, she is having it hopefully today! As a result, I am posting some of the pictures I haven't yet.

From our Office Season 5 Premiere Party.
Fall is pretty. My camera quality, not so much.

Devin asleep on our way home from Body Worlds 3. (He gets me back for this, as shown at the end of this post.)




He loves getting his picture taken, mmkay.

Varsi y Con. (it took a couple of years, but we finally got them into The Office. And let me tell you, they burned through every episode in like, two weeks.)

Brody y Kylee.


And I found this little gem, also on our way home from Body Worlds: Devin really was making me mad. I can't remember why though... I think because I was fetching tired and no one would leave me alone to sleep. And then before it ends you can see Brody about to bring up the most embarrassing picture ever.

A little update...

Hello all! I have been negligent in my blogging, but know that I have been keeping tabs on everyone. Here is my October, in a nutshell:

-I got pulled over. Again. At like 2:30am for a broken tail light and not having my headlights on for a few blocks. (Oops. I'd just left 7-11, and crimeney, it's so bright at those I didn't even realize.) And seriously, every time I have gotten pulled over in the past (there have been several), I've just kept my cool, been myself, and tried to reason with the officer. And every time (again, several), I've gotten a ticket in return. So this time, I totally did the girl thing I've always been judgmental of and cried and faked a severe stomach ache and cried more because I didn't have my registration or proof of insurance with me, and I was "so so sorry" and "stressed out" and "really so sorry, officer". And guess what? I just got a fix it ticket and a "Are you sure this isn't something you should see a doctor about?". CRYING WORKS.

-I got a second job. Doing customer service/sales at an online furniture company.

-I promptly quit second job. It sucked.

-I got another second job at Ruby Tuesday as a server. I'm so not great at it, but it's fine. The people there are pretty cool and although the server who was shadowing gave me this criticism: "You're a little too casual with people," I remain hopeful. And since I'm not way in love with the food there, it can't really get ruined for me. Not that Cafe Sabor was dying to hire me, anyway.

-Dev had (has) a kidney stone. We spent most of Saturday at the ER. And I felt like the all-time worst girlfriend when I had to leave him that night to go play waitress.

-Still waiting for my sis to have her baby. Me and Ky and my mom threw a shower for her.

-Fell in love with the new Keane album. Listen to "Spiralling" and "Lovers are Losing". Brilliant. And very 80's.

-School. School. School.

That sums most of it up for now. I still don't have internet at my place but hopefully soon...
