Emily had her first wellness Doctor visit yesterday. She got a checkup and two shots. She now weighs 9 lbs 5 oz and is 22 1/4 inches tall. Way to grow Emily!
1. What is your most prized material possession?
My most prized possession is my autographed Marilyn Manson book.
2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
I had a Mickey Mouse doll when I was a baby and carried it everywhere. I have his head in my living room now.
3. Are you a packrat?
I guess. When my closet gets full, I purge the whole thing and start over.
4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
Both. I am determined to have my cake and eat it too.
5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
We have every theme in our apartment. I wish we had more Nightmare Before Christmas themed stuff and more black.
It is Monday. I have been going batty looking for something interesting to look up. Hmmm..I thought, I wonder what happened to that Friday Five I enjoyed and if it was still on hiatus. It's back.
1. Explain why you started to journal/blog.
My in-laws, Tara and Dave, manage Liloia.com and made us part of their site. I blog on it to rant and rave, post pictures of stuff I like, and to keep in communication with them, as they live an unfortunate distance away.
2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not?
Most people I know are aware of our blogging, however, I doubt that anyone looks at it very often. Why or Why not? We are not very interesting, answers both questions.
3. Do you have a theme for your journal/blog?
Ummm..theme? Mish mash. Bryan and I are pretty random about what we post, just whatever comes to our inteset that day. Lately Emily has been the subject of discussion more than anything.
4. What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year?
I am pretty happy with our array of random thoughts. It's a good expression of who we are. Random is our life. I wouldn't have it any other way.
5. Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs.
Gee. I'm not really sure what I am being asked to do here. I know being a pimp is illegal and I am not interested in being incarcerated. Thanks though.
Now back to watching the Mudvayne DVD with my Sweetheart.
Our parkinlot
This is our car
A broken light
Route 9
We got lots and lots of snow!
A monumental event happened in Emily Love's life that she will remember forever. She had her first outing with Bryan and I. We went to...well, where else? Target!
#10 - Mozart - doesn't quite hit the spot
#9 - Venga Boys - I think this just confuses her and puts her in a stun mode
#8 - Weezer - =w= say it ain't so
#7 - Marilyn Manson - he just has that calming effect
#6 - Mudvayne - a good one for car rides
#5 - Canderia - she enjoys blues/jazz/death metal/rap mish mosh, again good for the car
#4 - Fear Factory - time tested and true
#3 - White Zombie - it should be in everyones top ten
#2 - Mindless Self Indulgence - of course duh
and the absolute #1 favorite cd is none other than - The Left Rights - with songs such as parkinlot, take a s*#t, storytime, qy10, metallica doody, poo out my a#*, and station wagons how could you go wrong.
No one seems to believe us that Emily is a terror. 11pm till 4am she is a demon capable of horrible things. Not one person has seen the terror of Emily. Here I am in the eye of the storm 1:47am February 11, 2003 telling you different and I bring proof. Behold the many faces of evil!!
Be gone demons!!! Be gone!!!!!
I have decided to go back to work full time two weeks ago. I have forgotten how hard it was finding a new job. After much resume revising and sending, I now have a new job. I will again be joining the fragrance world but at a different company called Fragrance Resources.
I will be a Quality Control Technician for raw materials. This entails performing gas chromatography, specific gravity, refractive index, odor evaluation, etc. The commute is thirty minutes without traffic and avoiding highways, a huge relief for me. Everyone seems nice so far. I hope I do well at this company and that I am capable of this position.
To avoid putting Emily in daycare and to have family time with her, Bryan and I have made some arrangements. I will be working 8:30am to 5:00pm and Bryan will be working night shift at his job. We will be tired all the time but Emily always will be with one of us. Our time on weekends will be more precious and any time with Bryan alone will be golden but it will be for the benefit of our family. I hope this works.
I'm trying really hard to learn html and make a website not for any other reason than I feel like it. so there. I know it sucks but, so what. Any advice or critiscisms would be nice. So it goes day 1 1/2 of bcgillet.com
