Late Christmas presents

I bought Chris a cd on amazon b/c I couldnt get the cd ANYWHERE else. The dumb site said it would be GUARENTEED to be here by Christmas eve. It didn't show, but it was ok b/c Chris understood things could have gotten screwed up and delayed b/c of Christmas. Here it is December 29th now and I just checked the tracking number again to see where it was at (2 days ago it arrived in Chicago so it should have been delivered anytime now) and found out they shipped it all the stinking way back to Kentucky! GRRRRRRR

Oh yea and Chris ordered in a seperate shippment my Christmas presents, which were supposed to be here by Chrstmas Eve, the website says they're in route from the local UPS location so I swear if I don't get this shippment I'm never using amazon again

It's been a while, babies dipers and Christmas trees

Julianne Elizabeth. Pretty name huh? You should see her, she is by far the most beautiful baby girl that has ever lived. We welcomed her to the world on the 11th this month and haven't slept since. But that's alright, I'd rather be awake with her anyway. Seriously, if you saw her you'd understand.

She has, however, wrecked one thing other than my sleep habits. She's managed to take my beautiful almost 2 year old son and turn him into a little boy. Into a big brother. Before she was born William was my baby. He felt light as a feather and fit perfectly in my arms. Now, he feels as if he has gained ten pounds, though he hasn't, and looks like a little boy. He doesn't actually look different, but my perception has definatly changed. It's really remarkable.

William has, surpringly, not showed signs of jealousy. We were kind of expecting him to have problems with me holding Julianne all the time, but he hasn't. He gives her kisses and hugs, hands me her bottles (granted he steals them from me first, but it's all in good fun) and seems genuinely interested in this being we call "Sissy"

I hate money

So, I'm supposed to be going to Tenn. with Chris and DJ for the weekend. It has pretty much been a pain since we started thinking about it. Everything costs money. I hate staying with family I've never met, but it's cheaper than $80 a night. Now we have to rent a car b/c I can't afford to fix mine.

This whole thing frustrates me. I know it is good that we're all going, and odds are we'll have fun, but I hate spending money. And I hate having to leave the baby with Chris's mom, but she offered in exchange for us taking DJ so oh well. I hope things turn out ok, it just feels like there is so much against us going down there to get baptised. Chris is really excited, and DJ is too I guess so it sounds like I'm the only one that's even worried. Things will work out though, I know it. God just keeps blessing us so I guess I should just sit back and enjoy the ride.

First post in my new blog

Why exactly is it called a blog? I've never really understood that. Anyway welcome to it. I've succome to the growing trend of "blogging". Does that make me a sell out? Do you care? Have you noticed my horrible spelling yet? You will.

I just figured I'd make one of these things so I don't ever actually have to talk to people. Actually, I hardly do talk to people so this makes me feel like I am.

Yea, and everyone and their mom needs to buy the Bette Midler "Sings the Rosemary Clooney Songbook" cd. Just do it. It's good. Check out "Mambo Italiano".

Not much is going on right now, so look for stuff in the future.
