1. I was born with a hemangioma that grew to the size of a baseball on my chin by the time I was 5. I had 7 laser surgeries to remove it!

2.The doctor who did my surgeries did not make my parents pay what the insurance didn't cover! I will NEVER forget him.

3. I was engaged to my previous boyfriend of 4 1/2 years. I broke it off 6 months before the wedding & met DH 7 months later. I KNEW he the was the one!

4. I love the elderly! I work in an assisted living facility and take care of mainly dementia patients. I LOVE my job!

5. I am missing two teeth! I did not have permanent teeth to grow in after I lost my baby teeth. I have worn an invisiline retainer for the past 10 years with 2 fake teeth in it. The really great thing is NO ONE KNOWS unless I tell them. I had THE GREATEST orthodontist!

6. I am obsessed with The Nest/The Bump even though I don't post much. Yes, I am mainly a lurker ::hangs head in shame::

7. I am ashamed to admit that I am a myspace addict as well!! That is how I keep in touch with most of my friends from back home (Indiana)!

Happy hump day!

So, I realized this morning that if I am going to have a blog, I need to write in it! =) The past week has been a little stressful. C has been working so hard to try and find a job. He has had 3 interviews this week, all of which went well. The problem you may ask? They don't pay very well at all! I know I know, a job is a job! Yes, I am happy that he WILL have a job. We are waiting to hear from one of the employers that pays the most. Hopefully we will hear something by Friday. Keep your fingers crossed!

I worked Thursday through Sunday this past week. 46 hours in 4 days! Needless to say, I slept most of the day away Monday =) Yesterday C and I went to the store. We are trying so hard to spend as little money as possible right now. We made it out of Safeway with a full cart of groceries for $77, so I thought that was pretty good! =) It was for us anyway, we like to eat!

The best thing that has happened this week? I got paid today! My check was very nice, considering it had 93 hours on it! =) I don't get paid until the 20th again, so we will have to watch every penny! C did apply for unemployment back in Indiana. It has been approved, but there is a waiting period until you receive your first check. Hopefully we will get that soon!

I will try to keep this up to date! I work for the next 3 days though, 12 hours each so I won't be doing much except sleeping and working!
