Well, I didn't post yesterday because it turns out my "pregnancy brain" is worse than I thought. Yeah....so, um...I didn't post yesterday because I didn't have access to the internet from our house. I didn't have TV either. And this is because they both got cut off because I forgot to pay the bill for TWO whole months! When my best friend Chrissy came to visit two weeks ago she said that pregnancy must make us the total opposite of what we normally are. She was stunned to see that things were disheveled and strewn everywhere around the house when I'm typically over-OCD with, oh, EVERYTHING. And this includes bills!Well, I apparently did not do automatic billpay online like I do for every other account (i.e. utilities, gas, water), although I was convinced that I had set it all up when I first moved in. So for the past few months (since Jan), I assumed the AT&T U-verse bills were getting paid, when indeed they weren't. As soon as the office opened this morning, I called AT&T to pay everything off, set up automatic billpay and had everything turned back on. Lucky for me, they didn't report us to the credit bureau! Good thing Malu called me last night. We spent about an hour or so talking, where I probably would have been moping around otherwise. But I told him about the embarassing AT&T thing and he asked if I was okay (because he knows I usually have all that stuff on lock too). What can I say? I've got the pregnancy brain. My new excuse for everything! I was so happy to hear from him....he's doing great and loved the baby shower video. His only gripe was that he felt there wasn't enough of me on there. I thought there was plenty of me, but what a sweetheart. He told me over and over how beautiful I am. I love you!
Anyway, I didn't get to post about this last week, but on Friday, I went to the Fort Bliss Volunteer Dinner and the guest speaker was the guy from the Lifetime show, "Army Wives". His name is Brian McNamara and he plays the general on the show. Now, I don't really watch the show. I just happened to catch a handful of episodes one Sunday afternoon when they were doing a marathon. To be honest, I got so hooked that day because I couldn't help but think that their portrayal of actual Army wives was just...funny, I guess. Maybe 'unrealistic' is a better word, but I don't want to be too mean. But Brian McNamara is such a witty and funny guy. I had a nice time at this dinner.
My friend Melissa and I had to beg our boss to go up to the stage with us (since our boss is an actual VIP) so that she and I could get a picture with the guy--and he reluctantly obliged :) I do have a picture of both Melissa and I with him, but she swore to "unfriend" me if I posted it anywhere. I love you too, Melissa.
I am happy to report that I saw the newest episode of "Army Wives" this past Sunday and it wasn't too bad. maybe it'll become my Sunday evening thing!
On another totally random note, it's supposed to be hella windy tomorrow. So bad that I opted to put the Jeep in the garage today. I'm hearing that the winds are supposed to be blowing about 80 miles per hour tomorrow. The highest I've seen since I've been here is 65 mph, so I do have concerns. I hope it doesn't get me stuck at work tomorrow when I know Lucy will be here at home freaking out. Keep us in your thoughts!
The week's almost over guys! Hang in there!
