hello. it's been FOREVER since i last posted...everytime i thought about it, i was too busy and/or forgot.
this last week has been CRAZY! i started at pier one, and i've been working some overtime at work..so betwee the two, i've hardly been home. it's NO fun. i thought that i could do the two jobs, but it looks like it won't be as much fun as originally anticipated. HOPEFULLY i can get to work 2 8-hour days at pier one, instead of 3-shorter shifts because then at least i can have one day off. BUT i know this is for the best, i just want that credit card debt GONE for good. so pray for me and aaron, becuase it's no fun working all the time!
next, ceramics last night was SO FUN. since i only go once a week though, i don't get to make nearly as much stuff as i'd like....and since i'm WORKING on all of my "days off", then i can't go in for the open studio. STINK! but, it's still fantaSTIC to be doing pottery again.
work has been hard lately. we lost another little boy the other day. it's hard to know how you're going to react to things like that...it's sad to say that so far, i'd been ok-even though we've had a tough year since i started. but this little guy was especially sad because i'd actually taken care of him alot. with the others, i was able to keep an "emotional distance" because i hadn't been their nurse that often, so it was a little easier. but at least now, i know he's dancing around heaven instead of feeling crummy here.
on a happier note, mason is getting bigger by the day! he's teething now, so he's losing teeth randomly, and its so funny he's discovered raw-hide bones, and now he's so happy! he just runs around in circles and tosses his bone up in the air. so CUTE!
i got to go to pf changs the other day, yipee! it was fun to be bad, and forget about the diet. so far, ewl=10 pounds. good, but not as good as i'd wanted by this point. but something EXCITING to look forward to....i think we're going S N O W B O A R D I N G for my birthday weekend!! what better way to spend my birthday day than on the snow?!? since we're poor, we'll just go for early sunday morning and stay just one night. but i'm TOTALLY excited. !
is anyone else excited by the fact that loreli and luke are *possibly* looking like they're maybe getting back together!?!? (gilmore girls, obviously!) i'm SO glad, i like christopher, but he's just kind of a punk sometimes. but LUKE has always been there for her, and he just LOVES her so much..it's perfect. what's really annoying is how FLAKY loreli is! gosh! i wish one of these guys would just say something. i love how spunky and sassy and fast-talking she is, but dang! is she wishy-washy about those boys.
next.
i'm promise i'm going to get aaron to show my how to post pictures on my blog. he says it's complicated because we have a mac and most of the 'picture posting' websites are for stupid pc's. so yes, JULY please help me!! what do you use? i know you are a pc user, but we can still swap secrets, right?
well, i must go, i'm at work....but i'll write more later!

Hooray for an update!!!
To post pictures, I just use Blogger -- I would THINK it would be the same on a Mac since it's through the website, not the computer itself. Here goes:
1. When you go to "create a new post," on the Blogger dashboard, there's a toolbar above the text box where you can change the font, put letters into bold or italics, etc. On the far end of this toolbar is a little eraser-looking thing, and the icon to the left of it (looks like a mountain scene) is "add image."
2. Click on it. A new box should pop up, and at the top left corner is a "browse" button. Click it and select the picture you want to post from your computer ("my pictures" or whatever).
3. After you select your desired picture, click "open." It will take you back to the "upload images" box and it should put the file location into the text box next to "browse." Then you can change the formatting (align left, center, or right) and choose the image size.
4. Click "upload image." Voila! Your picture should appear in your new post within a minute or so.
5. Most of the time the picture will automatically be posted at the top of the text box, but you can move it by dragging it anywhere you want in your text. To delete the picture, just highlight it and press delete or backspace. Then type and publish as usual.
Is that confusing? I've obviously never written a web tutorial before. For more (and better) information, here is the How To section of Blogger about posting pictures:

Now you have no excuse not to post pictures of Mason! :-)
Number one, I'm very excited that you feel the same way I do about the Luke/Lorelai situation. I am the outcast among the roommates, who, for some unknown reason, are both rooting for Christopher. I will relent that Christopher is much prettier, but it's LUKE!! Second, I don't know how you work with cancer kids all the time. It's hard work! We have a few who come to the pedi floor on occasion for blood transfusions or when they are especially neutropenic, but we don't usually get them when they're really bad. But the last few weeks we've had 2 different girls with Ewing's sarcoma that I've taken care of. They are both so weak, and in pain all the time. It breaks my heart! I just want to fix everything, but I can't. I admire you for doing it every day. Good luck with the 2 job thing! Do you at least get a good discount at Pier 1? Tell Aaron hi for me. Hope things are going well!
