Great Party, Accomplished.

I think I am safe to say that Brett had the best 31st birthday a guy could ask for.
His Slip - N - Slide was a hit.
Everyone had TONS of fun.
He got a surprise Birthday cake.
And people showered him with love ALL day and in to the wee hours of the morning.
One more birthday Celebration to get through next weekend and we Brett can officially start his 31st year of being on Planet Earth.

Baby Miller is growing like a weed.
My belly blossoms and my boobs fit in absolutely NOTHING.
Brett took me to Wal-Mart this week to buy panties that were comfortable for me since all of my designer duds from the likes of Victoria's Secrets etc are no longer comfortable in my opinion.
As I am walking the underwear aisle I'm chuckling to myself that my life has come down to this.
I am willing to give up lace & bows for the comfort in Hanes her Way.
We have a routine appointment on Tuesday, nothing fancy - Just a check up - And I keep my fingers crossed that we will get to hear our little ray of sunshine's heart beat. I always get so excited for that.

Mum comes to town on the 10th - So excited.
I was hoping my OB/GYN would squeeze out a gender determining ultrasound during her visit but unfortunately they will only do it at 20 weeks. Have no fear though, we know how to work around the system and I have made an appointment at a private office that offers 3D/4D ultrasounds that determine gender at as early as 15 weeks. So at our 17 week mark we're heading down to SEEME3D to check out baby Miller's goods so we can finally know what flavor baby we're having! Mum is thrilled she gets to be included in this.. Oh and did I mention Brett, my step dad AND my sister are coming along for unveiling of my little ones private parts. This is a family affair folks.

I have to admit: I'm a little impatient and I bought something in yellow ( gender neutral ) today just to cure the itch to buy something baby related, so SHOOT me.

I shoulda coulda woulda...

... blogged a little bit more if I wasn't so busy recently. Between new job, new baby, new roommate, new paint job in my guest bathroom, new toothbrush ( I know the smaller things ) I just haven't had the time to sit down in front of my computer to do what I enjoy most... Blabber a bunch of random bullshit into cyberspace.

Summer is upon us, it's hot as h-e-double-hockey sticks and I am almost 4 months pregnant ( give or take 2 weeks, but who's getting specific right? ) I don't think the air conditioning in my car knows how to cool itself down with the the heat outside and I've had to give up on my Secret Deoderant and have been using my husbands Old Spice just to get through Summer 2011 with out smelling like ass. Sorry folks, you know I'm honest.

My husband is getting ready to turn 31 at the beginning of August. Yahoo! As he gets older I think he gets better looking.. As I get older, and more pregnant, I look back at the young something TOO hot piece of tail I was and still am ( for the time being ) and I pray to myself Please, oh god, oh whatever you are out there, please let me bounce back after the BEST THING I EVER DID graces us with it's presence in January...

We're having a Slip-n-Slide party for Brett's birthday.. Equipped with the biggest Slip-n-Slide I possibly have ever seen. After a trip to Wally World we have more tarp, hose extensions, hose spliters and Sprinklers than they have to manicure the White House's lawn. I will sit and observe the sliders from the sidelines  ( no one wants to see a pregnant chick go sliding down a hill on a tarp covered with water..of course unless you were born in a barn somewhere. ) sipping on Soda Water with a splash of Lemon ( that's my poison these days )!

My mom is coming to visit next month as well - I am absolutely thrilled to see her.. I have never wanted to hug my mom so bad in my life. Well, that may not be true - I've always been a pretty big fan of hugging that woman and smelling that woman even if she is being the biggest definition of a bitch I've ever met.. I have to admit, this apple didn't fall far from that tree - 2 peas in a pod - I am my mother's daughter - So to call her a bit of a bitch is to take ownership of it myself. But damn it Wendy, I love you and can't wait to see you!

In conclusion, Life - as mentioned a lot lately - is good.. It's really really good, and after positive thinking I've had a lot of positive outcome and I couldn't he happier... Or hungrier, it's time for a bowl of Ice Cream.

Fingers Crossed

I am 11 weeks into my new adventure.
I'm sure you're all just wondering why even here in my happy place I have continued to be so HUSH HUSH about what's going on.
I have to be honest, I have been doing an experiment.
An experiment to see if for once in my life I keep my big fucking mouth shut I'll have some positive outcome.

So far so good.

Talk to me in 2 weeks and we can go over details.

As for everything else, new job is fantastic.. Having weekends off is fantastic. I couldn't be any happier. Whether or not my husband is going to think everything is fantastic when he gets my part time less money paycheck is beyond me.. That's another thing I am going to have to keep you posted on. I keep reminding him it's for the greater good that I took this new job and I also remind myself to thank him daily because with out his hard work and his paycheck we would not survive. So - Shout out to Brett Miller, I love you and thank you for being an amazing provider.

It's been miserable HOT here in the Carolina recently.. I have to admit to hot to even think about going to the beach. I know it could be worse to live in the opposite side of the spectrum but I'm just saying, it's fucking steaming out there.

4th of July weekend is coming up and we have tons of fun fun fun plans.. I'm pleased to report that I have a 4 day weekend as well! WHAT - Who would have thunk it?

Was on the horn with my mum the other day and she says to me " So what's the plan for the holidays?" I almost snapped at her  ( like I have in years past ) " Mom you KNOW I can't do anything over the holidays my work schedule doesn't permit it" but I stopped myself and reminded myself that this year unlike others I will in fact be able to participate in Holiday Cheer like most other people. Oh joy, happy happy joy joy...

I think I'll give Black Friday shopping a try - It's been ages since I've done that!

Vapor-RUB?

I am slathered in Vick's Vapor-Rub in hopes of shaking a bit of a sinus infection. I know you're asking yourself why I don't just head down to the Dr for a little scrip to fix this problem, but unfortunately ladies and gents I am unable to take anything these days due to my current "condition".

Tomorrow's my last day at Aeropostale and I couldn't be more ready.
If I didn't have to show up tomorrow I absolutely wouldn't - BUT - Because I love the girls I work with and because I want to leave in good standings I will stick it out.

My head has been feeling like a balloon ready to pop for days - Terrible!
I can honestly say that I've never had a sinus infection before and due to this I am a big baby about the whole ordeal. The throbbing never ends, my eyes hurt, my ears hurt and every few minutes I fear a bloody nose is coming on.

How cute would that be at my first day of work at the new J-0-B?

I am absolutely mortified about Thursday. Mortified, ready and excited all at the same time. I am so excited to be moving on with my life, so excited to be learning something new but also SO scared that I am going to be absolutely terrible at it. The anxiety of it all has my panties so in a wad that I am having nightly nightmares about the whole ordeal. Not good, not good at all - Especially since I am supposed to be leading a stress free lifestyle to date.

I keep reminding myself that my lifestyle will be so improved and that my over all happiness will excel..
So.. With that being said, someone remind me on Thursday morning to take a deep breathe and that everything will be a-ok?

I absolutely can't stand retail...

I will not, absolutely will not, I repeat will not ever work retail again.
I have 4 days left at my current employer and I have to continuously remind myself that I don't have the luxury of throwing my arms in the air and just walking out (( probably while screaming excessive amounts of profane words. )) I need to be sure that I have a good reference after putting in almost 5 years of service to a company that has been absolutely a pleasure to work for beyond their problem customers.

Today was the icing on the cake:
Any person that thinks they can just say whatever they want to a retail employee (ie; you don't know mathematics and you must not have graduated from highschool )) should subsequently be shot.. Well maybe not shot, but slapped at the least.

Wouldn't it be super beat if you could just birch slap the ignorant and then they would in turn learn their lesson, never to speak some foolishness again? Maybe I'll give it a try, see how it works out...

So if I bitch slap you in the near future you now know why :)

~ Positive Vibes ~

Without saying too much I just want to throw it out there that I could use some positive thoughts and positive vibes thrown my way... I feel success is in my near future and I hope and pray I get what I want. My sensitive little heart can't take being broken again and I want this now more than ever before. Good things happen to good people, and I am a good person - I deserve this, right?

In the past year I have really sat back and reflected on my life and whether or not the hand of cards I have been dealt as of late has any correlation with my past. I can admit that I have done things I am not proud of and hurt the people around me... Mostly because I was hurting myself. I can admit to being a train wreck once upon a time ago, I can admit to being totally selfish... But at the end of the day, I truly cared about people.. I truly want the best for people.. And even on my darkest days, the top of my selfishness I wanted the best for the people I care about and I didn't have bad intention. So I ask myself, because of those decisions am I being dealt a handful of Karma? Should I have lived my life a little bit differently to ensure that in the end I would get what I thought I deserved? I'm a good person, I have good intentions... So can I have good things in turn?

I've never wanted something so badly... And now, all I can do is wait.. Wait for success or wait for heartbreak, it's all about the wait.

Summertime, and the living's WAY TOO EASY

Summer is in full swing after our first floating adventure down the Edisto River, followed by our first backyard cook out, followed by my husband having a hang over on Sunday morning that he had no other choice than to in turn drink away, followed by me being VERY ready for him to hop back on the wagon for the week.

I've given up the sauce for a bit, and I'm ok with that.
Wagon living is good for me, It leaves me with a clear mind.

Green house is a-growing! The air in our home is nice and fresh from all the leaves and flowers a-bloom. And of course, the yard whisperers backyard is an amazon of growing wonder. I'm quite proud of his yard growing expertise. Now if only he'd forgive me for not allowing him to purchase the deluxe lawn mower and instead allowing him to buy the little less expensive but not quite as fancy mower that cuts the grass just fine. The man needs to learn that a high price tag doesn't mean high quality, all the time at least.

... IS anyone else getting UBER excited for the arrival of TrueBlood? Just sayin!
