Blogging

So, I told a friend of mine and hubby's that I had started a blog. When I said that it's still coming along, he compared blogging to tending a garden...it takes a lot of work to get it to blossom. How funny, I had no idea how right he was! I think I've changed the layout, format, pictures, and words at least 10 times (I've only had my blog for about 5 days now).

Shout Out

A big shout out to the people who contributed to my Humane Society fund raising efforts. I had to raise my goal because your contributions exceeded my original one:

Mom; Mikey and Craig; Matt, Andrea, Tony, Kalia and Madison; The Gristina Family; The Kennerly Family; Heather; Jinx; Christina, Miguel, Carlos, Alexis, et al; Kevin, Megan, Del, Fish, Flea, and Flo; Obie

Thanks so much for your help!

My time with BA

So, here's a quick synopsis of my short time with Barratt:
First day, meet Ashley. 3rd day, Ashley has a baby and leaves me for a few months. I get Jen set up with Gmail chat. I get to talk to Kelly twice before she leaves (but fortunately I'm cool enough to go to dinner every month - Yay!!!). We have our Christmas party. Lots of people get layed off. Ashley comes back. Hilary gives me my new name badge and I lose it 5 minutes later. More people get let go. We have to clean models and water the plants now. More people get let go (including Hilary - good day for her, sad day for us) and I get "Not Technically" layed off. I find a new job. :D

Our name

Why is it when people ask me how I pronounce my last name I say "Byu-cha-lye" and they say "BOO-cha-lye"?

How Nikki got her name

The first time I held Nikki, she fell asleep with one eye open. It reminded me of a spy, very cautious - like she didn't quite trust me. Although I've never actually seen the show, I could only think of La Femme Nikkita - so Nikkita she became.

My mother-in-law is the best!

So, a couple of weeks ago hubby and I went out to dinner with my Mother-in-Law. I called her a Bitch and she called me a Whore. Good times. (I love you Jan!)

My grandmpa, again!

Okay, so I lied - I have another one! I think my Uncle Lance snagged a shot of him at his last birthday. We had a wonderful dinner at a small steakhouse in Hotel Circle called Albie's, the company was better. It was a large, fun group: Lisa, Lance, Aaron, Rosa, Jo-Jean, Maxine, Craig, Kristen, and of course the guest of honor, Neal. We reminisced, laughed, ate some good food, had some wine of which grandma kept the cork (one of her many ways of keeping memories), and then laughed some more. Wish Kevin could have been there! I'm sure he feels the same way, from what I understand he didn't have a very good time that night but that's a different story. But I guess that's what happens when you miss grandpa's birthday! Hope he learned his lesson!
