I’m in love with this new song by Colbie Caillat. It’s on repeat on my iTunes as we speak. I couldn’t embed the original video from YouTube but found this one just so you could hear it.

Chuck E. Cheese Countdown
So now Emma’s "boyfriend" is coming to the party as well as a few more from their classes. Right now, there are 14 kids going to be there plus all the adults. Oh my, I think I need to go ahead and start praying for patience.
She WAS sleepy
After Lexi fell asleep around 6pm last night, she ended up waking up for about 10 minutes around 1:30am and then didn’t wake up for good until 6:30 this morning. Sleepyhead! Needless to say, she was in a good mood this morning.
Protected: They’re gone
Somebody was sleepy
This time change thing has us all messed up. Sunday morning we woke up a little early but feeling great. I had the girls in bed early the past two nights and that was nice. But yesterday I woke up tired because I stayed up until my normal bedtime Sunday night but that was an hour past my normal bed time and then the girls woke up early Monday morning. So I went to bed early last night but then the girls got up extra, extra early this morning at 6:30!!
I’m feeling ok just because I went to bed so early last night but look who fell asleep right after dinner? She literally finished her dinner, rolled over onto the ottoman and fell asleep within about 10 seconds.
Now I don’t know whether this is a nap or she’ll be out the whole night and get up extra, extra early tomorrow or if she’ll get up soon and then stay up extra late and then be tired in the morning. Which means I’ll be tired in the morning.
OK, I’m sure you’re confused after all that because like I said, this time change thing has us all messed up!
The Bachelor November 5, 2007
So I didn’t stay up last night to watch The Bachelor. First in awhile. Since it was only 45 minutes with commercials, I was able to watch it pretty quickly this evening from my TIVO.
So…Jenni’s date was first and the dolphins were really cute. Seemed like they had a good time. And once again, the physical sparks between Jenni and Brad were pretty obvious. Even the frisking to find the hotel card was further proof there is definitely something between them. But their conversation was sort of weird. I don’t understand her inability to say how she felt toward him.
Bettina’s date was next and boy was it short. They showed all of two minutes on the sailboat. All I remember is seeing them in their swimsuits on the boat and then in the pool at the hotel. I already knew that Bettina was leaving when I watched this and I’m not sure if it skewed my opinion but to me it was obvious he wasn’t picking her. And she tried to make up the whole family thing by saying they were just worried he didn’t return her feelings.
The third date was with DeAnna and I was surprised at her continuous witty comments and while I found it a little on the annoying side, he seemed to like her being feisty. And he was very impressed with her feelings she shared at dinner. In fact, with a lot of his comments he seemed really, really into her that night. “I am developing some very strong and extremely real feelings for DeAnna. Very strong…She’s everything I’ve looked for in a woman…I look at her as a soul mate…I can see a lifetime with DeAnna.” And she seemed really sincere as well. I still can not get over how she treated the other girls in the house and was even reminded of all the cattiness when they showed previews for the reunion show next week.
But y’all, I think we’re in for a shocking episode next week. I’ve said Jenni has been the frontrunner but I think DeAnna is going to pull this one off. Jenni and Brad seem to be all physical and he knows she’s accepted the dancing contract with the Suns so that’s a negative too. I think it will be like last season with Andy where he picked the soulmate Tessa over the physical connection with Bevin even though Bevin had been a frontrunner for most of the season. They keep saying it’s going to be shocking so who knows.
Back to the office tomorrow
For the third time in about a week, I’m going into the office to work tomorrow. No access to this site while I’m there :(.
The rest of tonight will be spent watching tv. I may get in a post about The Bachelor before I zonk out. I doubt it though. I’m really tired tonight.
News on the work front
So good news and bad news.
The bad news is my client can not meet the demands of my contractor to increase my pay rate enough to let me have some and actually get that raise they want to give me. It’s really ridiculous. So, I might be on the hunt for a new contracting company. I hope it works out because depending on how stubborn my contracting company wants to get, it could get really nasty.
As for the good news, I’ve been informed I have to decide by tomorrow what vacation I’m taking for the rest of the year and I have 63 hours to take. In my world, that’s 10.5 days. So I’m going to take next Monday off since my client company has it off even though my contracting company doesn’t. Then I’m taking off December 20-January 1. That means after this week I have two short weeks this month and then only have to work 2.5 weeks until 2008. Yay!
