November 2009

Yes I know I haven't posted since Halloween. Been a busy month.

the TWINS are HOME!!!!




I'm now working at the Grapevine Library. Got a sign from Mom welcoming me there. the first book I saw checked in was a book about the Chicago Cubs with Harry Carry on the cover.

Donny Osmond won Dancing with the Stars!


Thanksgiving was busy!!


Oh and did I mention THE TWINS ARE HOME?


I decided on Tuesday that Randal should have a winter coat. I'm glad because the next day it SNOWED!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Welcome to the world.....

WOW what a week!

The past couple of weeks Amber's blood pressure has been high but would get better when she was lying down so they put her on bed rest. She also had been going to the Dr three times a week to get checked. On Wedsneday her blood pressure was high enough where the Dr wanted to monitor her in the hospital for 24 hours. She has been there ever since.

On Satuday they gave her a steroid shot to help the babies lungs develop.

This morning she started having mild contractions and when ever she would sit or stand up her blood pressure would go up and Zachary's blood pressure would go down.


The Dr said that it was time.

So I would like to have everyone meet our new NEICE!!!

Both Mom and babies are doing fine. The kids are breathing on their own and will be in the NICU for awhile.

Great Way to start the month!!!

Okay so does everyone remember that I won on Sept 11 all 14 Beatles CD's remastered? Well that started on 09-09-09 and ended on Sept 30th. They had 3 winners every day (not including weekends) and they had a grand prize of:

-The collector’s edition Mono and Stereo Boxed Set Catalogs
-The Beatles: Rock Band game, with an X-Box 360 gaming system
-A limited edition gold record, commemorating 9-9-09, etched with your name!

So this morning I'm listening to the radio with my headphones on (because Katie is watching her show while eating..I cannot take Dora at that hour of the morning) and the DJ says "We're going to call the winner of the Beatles prize in a couple of mintues" Since I am in the drawing I decided to get my phone (and put it on normal not meeting) I then went in to check on Randal and went to get something. Then I heard my phone go off....

and I thought "If this is Adam I'm going to be upset!"

Then I saw 214 area code

oh my GOD!

Teresa (Second Momma's) name not above it....

I answered and it was the producer of THE MORNING SHOW I LISTEN TO!!!

"Hang on Jody wants to talk to you"

OH

MY


GOD!!!!!


I WON!!!

I tried to be very calm while talking to him. After I got off the phone I called up Adam and just said "TURN ON THE RADIO!!! TURN ON THE RADIO!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! I WON!!! WE GOT IT!!!" I was squealing (and squeeking because I have a cold)

I was first going to drop off Katie and then go straight there but decided to wait until Monday. I need to have this sink in and I need help getting stuff in my car since Randal will be with me. So Teresa, and Rick (father in law who has an SUV), Randal and I will be going over there on Monday to pick up stuff.

Will post pictures on Monday.

I LOVE 98.7 KLUV!!!!!

So KLUV is having a contest all month long in celebration of the ENTIRE Beatles albums coming out on 09-09-09. They tell you what song to listen to and at 11:35, 2:35 and 5:35 they will play it. AFTER the song is over be the first caller and you will WIN the BOX SET with all 14 CDs and a $50.00 gift card to go to Hard Rock Cafe.

Todays song was "The Long and Winding Road"

So today I dropped of Katie at school, got Starbucks, went over to where I used to work and see the girls, Bubba had has 15 month appointment (and 3 shots) and I got out to the car and heard the song of the day. Put the number in and drove over to the other side of the parking lot because I didn't want to dial and drive. The song was over and Jenny Q said "Call now" and I pressed CALL on my phone.

One Ringie dingie

Two Ringie Dingie

"Hello this is Jenny who is this?"

OH

"This is Bridget"

"Bridget...do you know what I am going to tell you?"

OH MY GOD!!!

"Oh my God! Did I win?"

"Yes you DID!!!"

YEAH!!!!

I will be picking them up on MONDAY MORNING!!!

She asked me "So when you get the set and rip of the plastic which song are you going to listen to first?"

"When I'm Sixty-Four! It's my husband and my song"

I'm also in the contest at the end of the month where I could win

-The collector’s edition Mono and Stereo Boxed Set Catalogs
-The Beatles: Rock Band game, with an X-Box 360 gaming system
-A limited edition gold record, commemorating 9-9-09, etched with your name!

THANK YOU KLUV!!!!
