After a 37 day stay in the body shop my car is back on the road! I'm going to stick to my big beefy American SUV while the roads have ice and snow.

Today I got a message from my dear friend Maggie. She is pregnant and due sometime in later February. She said she is 2cm dilated and her doctor told her to take it easy. The baby will be considered premature if she has it within the next week. I'm quite worried for her and her baby boy and I'm hoping for the best. Positive thoughts...

When It Rains, It Pours

I had another dentist office call me today to invite me in for an interview. I meet the dentist on Thursday morning. Maybe I won't have to work for the crappy office as long as I thought I would have to. I'm still waiting to hear from those periodontists too.. I want to work for them the most.

Update on ME!

I started working at the dentist office two weeks ago and I'm not sure how long I will last at this office. It's not exactly what I had in mind for decent working conditions. They are so unorganized that they call me every single day asking me to come in late. The office manager promised me all these hours and it was all lies. Last week I worked only 14 hours. The bitchy office manager also expects me to be the janitor and mop the floors. I'm going to have to suck it up until something else comes along, but ya not a cool place.

Speaking of cool places, I interviewed with a pair of periodontists last week. They are new to town and asked me to assist them with surgery a couple times a week. They are on vacation in Mexico right now so it's not certain yet if I have a job there. We'll see...

Verizon Wireless missed me so much they asked me to come back for the month of January. I've been there everyday that I'm not at the crappy dentist office. Thank goodness for VZW because the hours at the dentist are so irregular.

My poor car is in the shop being repaired. It's been there for a month. Drew got tired of chauffeuring me around so we did something crazy and bought me a lovely 4x4 Chevy Tahoe. It's delightful to drive on the ice. (Of course now since I have it, the weather has been warmer and the ice has completely melted off the roads. Typical.)

I just got around tonight to downloading my Christmas pictures to the computer. I got a new digital camera for Christmas and there was a slight learning curve to the download process. Here's a few of the better ones. So... belated Merry Christmas to ALL!!!

PF getting some Chloe love.

Johnny got Adult Briefs for Xmas. ...Or maybe just a box with something else inside.

Bonnie got a new camera too.

Mattias with his favorite gift.

The Joy Boys!

Sianara 2008!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope this year brings everyone good fortune, good health and good times. I really really hope 2009 is a way better year for me then 2008. I can't handle another year of hard times and bad luck.

Drew and I went to Fallbrook, CA for Christmas. It was a fun quick trip down there. The company was great, we got fantastic gifts, and ate delicious food. We got to visit Wendy, Athena, Jonathan, and Nancy too.

Today was my last day at Verizon Wireless. I'll miss my co-workers there because they are a joyful group, but I won't miss the position of greeter. I start working for the dentist on the 5th.
