I admit I am a gadget junkie. I am a device freak. I love electronic things. I love love love my cell phone and my ipod. I would really love to get a Kindle. Like really. Really. I realize there is nothing like the smell of a good book. BUT my gadget freak inside really wants a Kindle. I love the idea of carrying around several books. I have a hard time reading one at a time. I have a bookcase that is overflowing and a house that is not able to fit another bookcase. Now here is the part that might make me sound completely nuts. I want all my music and books on little portable things. Somewhere back in my brain I want to be able to move quickly with little or nothing to lug around. Clothes, music, books, all mushed together... in a little suitcase. I realize that is crazy but I sort of envision a almost vagabond-ish life with Eric and Alex and Cleo...

Paying it Forward.
From HelenJane.com
The first five people who comment here will get something I make. Could be a real life thing. Could be imaginary. Depends on what I think you will like and my inspirations. (Note, it’s going to be something I think you will like. Actual liking not guarenteed!) The only real rule is that you have to make this offer in your own journal.

Snowy Day
I am spending this snowy Sunday fiddling around on the internet, watching the History channel, playing call of Duty and mostly spending time with Alexander. Little man is currently sleeping on the boppy on my lap. Some guy is wearing the American flag and blabbering about the mysteries of the dollar bill.
I finally hooked little man up with his own website, AlexanderBorman.com, to share with friends and family who are far away (and close by) to keep updated with the baby. I am going to do my best to keep up with posting pictures and "firsts" that are way cute. Many of the posts will be retro-dated so things might pop up that weren't there previously.
I think I will try to play a few rounds of Call of Duty while Alex is sleeping...

Fuck you government.
Amazon.com is now required to charge sales tax for orders shipping to New York. Fuck. Fucker. Fuckity. That really pisses me off and now messes up all sorts of shit. Part of the fantastic-ness of Amazon.com was no tax... and Amazon prime to get "free" two day overnight shipping. My Amazon prime membership just renewed and now I am not sure if the $80 is worth it. I might discontinue ordering from Amazon because of this newly required tax charging bullshit. That just crushes me. What other websites will now be charging tax? This is how to stop spending you fucking government! I will have to buy my toilet paper at the fucking grocery store now - what a pain in the ass. This just fucked up my morning. Fuck.

Tag. I am it!
I've been tagged by Stephanie.
1. Link back to the person who tagged you.
2. Post these rules on your blog.
3. Share six unimportant things about yourself.
4. Tag six random people at the end of your entry
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER ONE ABOUT ADDIE: I really, really need some new work shoes. Like, desperately. I'm kind of embarrassed to show up to work in the shoes I wear every day. (Actually, I don't show up to work in them because I keep them in my desk drawer like most other office-dwelling women I know, but you get my point.) But I'm procrastinating buying a new pair because it just seems like so much money to plunk down about $100 (to get a comfy yet stylish pair) on ONE thing... even though I wear them 5 out of 7 days of the week. (<--- that was all Stephanie and I will add to it.) AND I am pregnant and already have the exact pair I love right now but they are too new and tight and I can't wear them and have no desire to go searching for a pair of pregnant shoes.
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER TWO ABOUT ADDIE: I hate sleeping with a top sheet on the bed. Duvet/comforter only for me. Sheets are EVIL. You will not be able to convince me otherwise. <---- All Stephanie... its getting weird. Top sheets bunch up and fall off and are a pain in the ass. Unless its summer, in that case all I use is a top sheet.
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER THREE ABOUT ADDIE: I would love to go to grad school but will not right now because I still have to pay off school loans. In addition to the lack of funds, I have no idea what the hell I would study! My college degree was obtained for me - not for a career... I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER FOUR ABOUT ADDIE: I love to crochet and to knit but haven't really done much of that lately... maybe because I was really tired for the first 3 or 4 months of my pregnancy and I just haven't gotten around to it again.
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER FIVE ABOUT ADDIE: I have a problem with books. I start twelve of them at once and rarely finish all of them in any sort of timely manner.
UNIMPORTANT THING NUMBER SIX ABOUT ADDIE: I brew my own beer and I fucking love it.

Little Actions...
So I finally got Jen's updated information for her site, Jennuinehairdesigns.com. There are a few things that need to be tweaked but for the most part its all up and running, er, webbing.
I found the mystery charge at work for a woman who gave us her mother's first name and we misspelled the last name. That was a fun time because the woman just kept calling and it was during the "hell week" we all loved so much.
The kittens are finally starting to open their eyes. Those cute little asshole bastards.
The most important little action this week is my baby. He has been kicking up a storm in my belly ever since the Indian food. He was definitely moving before that but now he is just rambunctious. For the first time last night Eric finally felt one of his kicks. He also started talking to him to encourage more movement.

(un)Lazy Sundays...
Julie and I made chili, beef stew, and cake! I also plan on whipping up a batch of jalapeno corn cakes to go with the chili. Yum!
A gift for a friend. Jennuine Hair Designs.
