We ran away

July 22, 2003 Adam and I re-met again with the help of Lisa Richards (Thank you Lisa!). We met at Grapevine Mills mall, had dinner at Corner bakery and saw a movie. We met the first time in 1997 when my Mom started working at the Grapevine Library part time. She always said that if Adam was just a little bit older she would of set us up. The last time Adam and I saw each other was in 1999.
So four years later I was talking to Lisa and she asked if I was seeing anyone. I (of course) started laughing. She told me all about this "Adam" guy and said that her sister had known him all of his life. I told her to go ahead and give him my phone number. On July 20th Lisa called me to give me Adam's number. "After you talk to him call me! And he seemed really excited to hear from you". So I waited until July 21. Made a date for July 22.
Now I didn't realize that this was the same Adam from the library. It had been four years. I have slept since then. A lot has happened since then and we have both changed. It wasn't until we were coming back from a friends house in Little Elm and he mentioned working for the city (of Grapevine) that I realized that it was him.
So on July 22, 2006 we dropped the boogerbear off at Grandma's (yes I will admit it...I cried when I left her there)then we went to Grapevine Mills mall to see the 10:35AM showing of Clerks 2. The movie was good. Not for the faint of heart (or ears). I know I was one of the few women to be at this showing (and laughing). After that we went to Frisco to Stonebriar Mall to eat at Dave and Busters. Then we went to Ben and Jerry's over in Plano. Then it was to the Embassy Suites in Irving (because the one in Grapevine wanted almost $300.00 for the night). Got back at 11:30 to eat lunch and take the boogerbear home.

Superman Returns
On the spur of the moment we called up Grandma (Barbara) and went to see Superman Returns lastnight. All I have to say is this... GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!! After the first five minutes I said "WOW" and the story did not really begin yet. Like Batman Begins, Superman Returns deals with the relationships of the characters and not centering on the bad guys (like Batman Returns). This movie takes place five years after the Superman 2 movie. They are not counting Superman 3 or 4 (which is good because they were not at all good). I do expect an announcement of another Superman movie coming up and being released in the next couple of years.
One thing that I was very happy about was after the listing of the cast credits there is a dedication "This film is dedicated in loving memory of Christoper and Dana Reeve"

NEWS FLASH!!!!!
After I got all the phone calls, text pages, e-mails and postings I checked our machine and found a message. Had to listen to it about 4 times before it sunk in. It was Labor and Delivery at Harris HEB. They told me that they DID have ROOM for me to be induced TOMORROW! So we have to be there at 7am and we will have a baby sometime tomorrow.
Adam told me that if the kid is a little terror that he is blaming me.
Adam told me that if the kid is a little terror that he is blaming me.
False Alarm
Okay so I went and she checked it out and didn't think that it broke. She did a sono on me and saw that there was plently of water. My bladder got too excited seeing the toliet and I really had to pee. :(
So this is what is going on now. I am on the WAITING LIST to be induced tomorrow. If someone has their baby today then I will be induced tomorrow. IF NOT then I am on the list for next Tuesday June 13 (IF she has not arrived yet).
So that's the news for now.

My wife will roll her eye's when she reads this but I organized everything by rating... and alphabetized... and grouped the Disney, Muppets, and cartoons together.
Hey, I just graduated with a Master's in Library and Information Sciences people. I have to alphabetize! I left everything out of order for a year, I think that's long enough.
Besides what else was I supposed to do on a Holiday... while waiting for a baby to decide if she wants to be born.

Star Wars Celebration 4
Well I hope we are celebrating our second anniv at this....
Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles To Mark 30th Anniversary of Saga
May 26, 2006
To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars, Lucasfilm Ltd. and Gen Con LLC will throw the largest party ever for fans of the saga, taking over the entire Los Angeles Convention Center in May 2007 for five days filled with live entertainment, celebrities from all six movies, special film and video presentations, an exhibit of movie props and costumes, exclusive merchandise sold at a 24-hour-a-day store, pop culture tributes, immersive events, costume contests, and scores of additional activities.
Star Wars Celebration IV will fill the L.A. Convention Center from Thursday, May 24 to Monday, May 28, 2007. Admission to the first day of the event will be for worldwide members of the Official Star Wars Fan Club, many of whom will help plan and run special programming themselves. The convention will be open to the general public from Friday through Monday, Memorial Day.
"Generations of fans have loved Star Wars, many passing along the 'Star Wars gene' to their children," said Steve Sansweet, Director of Content Management and head of Fan Relations for Lucasfilm. "This is the first chance to celebrate all six movies in the saga-George Lucas' complete story-as well as the vibrant future of Star Wars. If you've ever been to one of our Celebrations-or if you haven't been before-this is the one not to miss."
Celebration III, a four-day event held in Indianapolis in April 2005, attracted more than 34,000 fans from all over the world. "We started getting questions about a possible Celebration IV even while the last convention was running," Sansweet noted. "So we're determined to far outstrip anything we've done before, both in size and scope, as well as introduce many first-time activities and lots of exclusives."
Lucasfilm is also working on other Star Wars-related events in the Los Angeles area just prior to Celebration IV, "so we're expecting Southern California to become 'Destination: Star Wars' from the weekend before through Memorial Day weekend," Sansweet said.
The convention announcement was made jointly by Lucasfilm Ltd. and Gen Con LLC. Gen Con will once again manage the convention on behalf of Lucasfilm and the Official Star Wars Fan Club. The Celebration IV announcement is being made a year in advance to give fans worldwide a chance to plan for a week-long "Destination: Star Wars" blow-out in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the ideal site for a 30th Anniversary convention, Sansweet said, since there are many Star Wars roots in the area. It was also the location of the first official Star Wars fan gathering, the 10th Anniversary Convention. Star Wars opened on May 25, 1977, on just 32 theater screens in North America, including Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Boulevard.
One of the highlights for fans at a Star Wars convention is the chance to buy unique merchandise, including an exclusive, limited-edition action figure. Because this has led to bottlenecks and long lines in the past, the Celebration IV store will be bigger than ever, self-service, well-stocked with merchandise, have plenty of check-out lanes...and be open 24 hours a day from the opening of the show on Thursday until the close on Monday!
"Gen Con is thrilled to be working again with Lucasfilm on this very special event," said Peter Adkison, owner of Gen Con LLC, producer of Gen Con Indy and other Gen Con events. "Together I know that we will produce a convention that will not only meet, but exceed, fans' expectations. With Lucasfilm 100% behind this show, it's going to be the biggest party in the history of the franchise. We are particularly focused on dramatically improving the selection and service in the Celebration store."
Stay tuned to starwars.com as your primary source for updates about programming, guests, activities, entertainment and exclusive merchandise at Celebration IV to be released as they are confirmed closer to the convention. Online ordering for tickets to the event and for discounted hotel rooms is scheduled to begin late summer/early fall. There will also be information on getting around Los Angeles, traveling to and from the Convention Center, and on shuttle buses available for convention-goers who are staying in the city.

That way I get to go play with the inmates. This orange cat here hasn't made the Pet of the Week yet, but maybe next time if no one has adopted him. His name is Oliver.
If you live anywhere near Euless, TX and are looking for a pet please give the animal shelter a look. They have lots of cats and dogs up for adoption that could use some nice homes. How can you turn down a face like Oliver's!?!

Well we knew it was going to happen sometime. Uncle George is going to release the UN-special edition versions of the original Star Wars Trilogy. I think this speaks for all the fans going out in September that will be buying this (even if we have 5 versions of it already)

Big Brain Cousin
Angela Hodges (or Angie as we call her) is my over-achieving cousin from my Mom's side of the family tree. She beat me to a bachelor's and a Master's. Now she's working on a law degree... and I won't be following her there. Now she's got a big fancy internship in the Attorney General of Texas' office. Let's all wish her the best of luck, cause she might need it (doubt it though, because she's just that good).

Also have to find something to put on the walls... they're quite bare at the moment.

Today is a New Day
The past few months have been a little crazy, but now that things are turning around it is time to post about it. In January, I was living my cubicle life on the 3rd floor of a building in Richardson, TX. I was spending my time thinking about my wife being 5-6 months pregnant with a bump of a belly growing every day. It's a Friday so things are pretty good, then my supervisor comes by and asks me to come with her. I'm thinking maybe it's time for the yearly evaluation or something, but we're headed all the way to the first floor... that's strange.
We go into the little area just to the right of the building entrance (if you were walking into the building), which is where the local HR department lives. At this point my very slow brain is sure something is up. Oddly enough after sitting and waiting for a minute or so, my friend Belinda comes out of the room with her supervisor. As I head into the room she just left, I see my boss and an HR rep. Yup, that's right folks I've been surplused. Looks like I've got 60 days to find a new job in Cingular or be prepared to walk out the door.
Are we having fun yet? I had already been looking outside, so I really wasn't very inclined to spend time looking inside. Also I had my big final capstone thing for my Master's degree to worry about. Something I'll have more to say in a bit, but for now let's just note that it took place smack in the middle of my last 60 days. Besides worrying about the school stuff, I started the fun process of checking job listings every day and applying like crazy to any job that looked promising. Some days were pretty stressful, but oddly enough I stayed pretty positive.
So the final day at Cingular crept up on me. I did enjoy my last few weeks walking around the block with the ladies on my row and going out to lunch with friends. Those same ladies ("the girls" are what I usually refer to them as) and others were kind enough to pile packages of diapers in my cube, while Belinda (who, BTW, was being laid off too but found another position one floor down) deftly distracted me by letting me tag along to the break room. The friends I made while working at Cingular will be what I miss most... them and the Xerox copier that prints on both sides plus staples.
By the last day I had interviewed at a couple places and put my application in at many others. My best prospects to date had been a job with a big company where a friend worked, the corporation that my Step-Mom-In-Law is a VP at (or at least one of the sub-companies), a job right here in Grapevine just off Main Street where a friend of my sister's works, and a job for Tarrant County College (TCC). None of these jobs worked out though, as they were all filled by other people or the openings just didn't materialize. Not to worry though, because I still had faith that everything would be fine.
Turns out my Mom had a curious dream not too long before March 28th (my last day) that encouraged her to look up an old friend working for the City of Euless. She went to lunch with said friend who heard that some jobs might be opening up with the City. Strangely enough for all the City, School, and other local job listings I had been looking at, the one place not on my daily watch list was the City of Euless. Don't know why it wasn't, but now it was.
A Computer Specialist job was the posting that intrigued me, not quite what I was looking for but it would have been a nice change of pace. Also I was really hoping to work for a City again, as my tenure with a giant soul sucking corporation (no offense, and please send the very nice severance check :-) has left me with a desire to serve and give back to my community. I applied about a week before time was up.
Turns out the Computer Specialist job wasn't the only job coming up. On my last day at Cingular, I decided to check the Euless listing again (had no reason to since I already applied, but I did it anyway). Low and behold, a new job was listed. Web Designer, which really is a perfect fit for my skills. I spent my final afternoon re-filling out the Euless application (as you can't save what you fill out). A manager even stopped to ask why I was still hanging around, but I was using my time wisely... also I had to give the Xerox copier (also a printer) one more spin!
To try wrap this up, it's been just over 2 weeks now and after a couple very nice interviews I got word that I start working again next Monday. That's right, I'll be the new Web Designer for the City of Euless. Time to break the khakis back out and get the cat hair off my button-up shirts. Thanks for all the support, well-wishes, good vibes, and prayers... but don't think you can stop. A new job is nothing. I've got a bigger challenge just around the corner... baby Katie is less than 2 months away!!!

Eakins-Glennon--Mar2006
Originally uploaded by FlipSide3.
My cousin April and her family are moving to Tucson, Arizona. They stopped by the Granbury Grandparents for a little eat, talk, and laugh time. We even managed to take this big family picture. This is most of the family, minus just a couple members.

Here's the crib and changing table... I'll try and get a better picture later.
Katie's Baby Shower
Showering of baby stuff occurred last Saturday. Hosted by my sister and located at my grandparents house, with lots of cake! Pictures have been taken, but not uploaded just yet. The assembling of the crib and changing table is also done, via the help of the Katie's grandparents to be. Pictures of her almost done room will be available soon.

Flickr Pro
I finally broke down and upgraded to a Flickr Pro account. It only costs about $25 a year and lets you post as many pictures you want (actually there's a monthly bandwidth limit of a few gigs, but I'll never come close to that). Considering the cost is about half a video game these days... it is inexpensive.
I'm just cheap. You all know it, so just smile and nod knowingly.
Anyway check out the flickr page when you get a chance. I updated the links in the sidebar here at the paw to go to their respective sets on flickr. If you have a rss feed reader you can actually subscribe to our photos to see the latest uploads.
You do know what an rss feed is, right?

Yawning Katie
We went back to the specialist yesterday, which also happened to be Bridget's birthday. The doctor says Katie is so normal that she's boring and are sending us back to our normal doctor never to return (unless something odd happens). Katie agrees that the whole experience wasn't worth all drama. Here she is yawning in her boredom.
