2 months 2 days
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be disappointed! CLICK HERE!!
Josh is 2 months and 2 days old today. He had his first set of shots yesterday and good Lord it was horrible. I took the pic below before his dr appointment...he was all smiles and happy and then we had shots...and it was not fun!
Thankfully he took it like a champ. Yes, he wailed during the needle sticks, but afterward was calm and collected. He was awake and wanted to play a little when we got home and then after a quick nap, was PISSED OFF! He was almost inconsolable....I gave him his bedtime bottle a little early and he was fast asleep by 10pm and slept till 9 this morning! He's pretty much been sleeping all day so far too...but from what I'm told, they sleep like logs after their shots. Leaves me plenty of "me" time which totally means sitting my lazy ass on the couch and lurking around on Facebook and watching lots of Charlie Sheen videos like this one...
"I'm Bi Winning...win here win there, win win everywhere!"

Sheen Babies...
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
I think I just developed a new hobby...LOL. It's 12:30am...my little guy is dead asleep and has been sleeping throught the night lately...now I can't sleep....WTF! So I was lurking around my January Mommy Board on Baby Center and there has apparently been a ton of drama over there that I missed (damnit) and alot of posts poking fun at some of the stuff have popped up and gotdamit they are mother effing hillarious! So this post about our little ones not holding their bottles started and it's gone on for days and is so funny! It's evolved to a bunch of different things and of all things, Charlie Sheen is the latest topic.
This is where this brilliant hobby comes in. One of the girls there, Nicole, had mentioned that they've made lol cats about Sheen (see: sheen cats) and that they should make the crazy baby faces with Sheen quotes. So at midnight, I take it upon myself to make a few and here they are ...enjoy!

Oh Charlie Sheen...
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
I live in a condo complex and have a good mix of neighbors. My direct neighbors are great people along with some people I've become friends with in other buildings. But then there are also some "winners"...not the Charlie Sheen type of winners...but it would be pretty DAMN cool if he did live here.
I mean really....can you immagine....it would be all about winning! And immagine the health care costs we would all save because as Charlie has demonstrated, he has healing powers.

Rosen: ”You say you’ve cured yourself --"
Sheen: ”Yes"
Rosen: ”–of addiction. You don’t need Alcoholics Anonymous… How have you done that?”
Sheen: ”I– I– I– closed my eyes. An-an-and made it so… with the power of my mind.”
Then there's the tiger blood and the goddesses...I mean, really, it's a win win situation. Especially with the state of affairs in my condo complex.....I'm not too keen on our property manager. Don't trust the guy as far as I could throw him. So it would be awesome for Charlie Sheen to teach this guy a thing or two about tiger blood and winning! LOL.
And let's not forget - he brings gum for everyone!
A Sleepy Tuesday and an Oreo Problem
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
My little guy will be 6 weeks on Thursday and I'm pretty sure he's going through his 6 wk growth spurt. He's been very sleepy all week with very little awake time...mostly just after his morning bottle. Even as I type he's asleep on my left arm and I'm typing with one hand.
What a life huh? Eat, sleep, poop...wash rinse repeat...lol. This little guy is just amazing!
I still can't believe he's 6 weeks this week! Before I know it he'll be 8 weeks and in for his 2 month shots!
So, sleepy day aside, I've come to a conclusion....I have an Oreo problem. Not as in I have none or I have too many....but as in I keep eating them!! I'm really debating calling Peapod and making them ban Oreos from my account. Speaking of....Peapod is an amazing find! I haven't been able to go food shopping since having the baby and honestly don't think I ever wanna step foot in the store again! No more lugging bags up the stairs or waiting for Shane to be around so we can go shopping, I love it!
But I digress...I lost 30 of the 45lbs I put on so fast after having the baby...and if I keep this Oreo thing up it's gonna all come back. Part of me wants to go back to work just so I'll stop eating...lol.
I think I'm gonna out little man down in his rock n play and take a cue from him and take a nap.

Cat got your tounge....
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
Let me give you a little detail on this one....my house consists of myself, Shane (DH), Josh (LO), a doggie and 2 cats (Solara, Deenah and Boo) all 5 of us in our 2br townhouse condo. The dog has adjusted wonderfully to having LO around and the younger of the two cats, Boo, could care less....as long as she has food she's happy.
Then there's Deenah.
Deenah is an 11 year old calico and while I love this cat to death, she's become a serious pain in my still larger than normal ass. She's always been kind of a pain, always having to be in the middle of everything and scratching at papers trying to get attention. The funny part is when you give her the attention, she runs away. She doesn't want to be held and only wants to be pet on her terms...typical cat. She was fine the first few weeks LO was home, but last week she started trying to get into EVERYTHING. She's been in little man's pack n play, trying to get into his room, caught in the bassinet next to our bed. I even tried putting little man's play mat over the opening of the pack n play to keep her out....yeah, she figured that one out and found a way in. When she's not tormenting me by getting into LO's stuff, she's in the kitchen sink, walking along the counter tops past the bottles that are drying or just perching on the kitchen table. The funny part is, this cat wanted nothing to do with being downstairs on the first floor all day for almost 2 years since we got the dog and now she's down here all day - everyday. Needless to say this cat is working on my last nerve...lol.
Annnd now it's time to go sterilize the new bottles I bought today.

Missing in Action!
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
Holy Freholies where has the time gone?! Wow it has been almost a year since my last post. Alot has happend and I'm gonna try to not neglect my blog as much anymore.
Where should I start? Well I guess where I left off...we never sold the condo and Shane and I had our first baby! Josh is the other love of my life. How could you not love this little guy??
My head first dive into mommyhood was not without incident though. His delivery was rather traumatic due to a botched epidural...but God bless my OB, Dr. Miller, for making the right call and getting my little guy here quickly and safely. Then came the postpartum depression....ugh. That hit me like a ton of bricks. Not only was I dealing with the "I'm a first time mom and don't know what I'm doing" feelings, the stress of breastfeeding and pumping, but I also dreaded being alone during the day with my little guy...so much so it would make me want to vomit. I was so unbeleiveably stressed out that I cried hysterically for no reason all the time and finally made the call to get back on the happy pills. =) And I stopped breastfeeding which took a ton of stress off of me and little man. I am proud of myself for trying to breastfeed and sticking it out for 3 weeks, but it is mother effing HARD man and it hurts! They don't tell you that in the books!
Breastfeeding and pumping is like having a whole other full time job....taking care of a newborn is a job in and of itself....but put the stress of trying to breastfeed on top of that and holy cow! Disaster! Little dude was constantly on the boob and I didn't get to bond and enjoy him at all. So now we're on the bottle (formula....not the other bottle), sleeping 4-6 hrs at night and everyone is happy! My next hurdle will be going back to work...another thing I'm dreading. But I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I look forward to sharing my new experiences and seeing what my blog will become as I journey further down the road of motherhood. I hope you all still enjoy what you read =).

Relentlessly Trying...
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
I must say, I now know what people mean when they say they're going off the grid. That's where I've spent the past few months since going back to work. I've been relentlessly trying to find time to post, relentlessly trying to get pregnant and relentlessly trying to sell our condo....all in 2 months. Crazy right?
So with all this trying, I'm not doing much doing. Well, I'm doing work on the condo, that's about it. Finishing and fixing and making sure it's show worthy.
I feel like I've been in my own little black hole lately. I haven't really wanted to go out much, just wanting to stay in and watch SVU..speaking of, interesting story happend which interrupted my first two paragraphs of this post.
So here's the sidebar story...my friend that lives in my complex and I both walk our dogs around the area and she tries to keep the woods area behind our complex clean...why, I don't know, but she does. So I joked to her the other day that she'll probably find a dead body or bones back there some day, sure as shit, she calls me just as I finished the first paragraph of this entry to tell me to get my ass outside out back because she found bones. Whether or not they were animal or human, we don't know. But we called the cops and then the cops brought in detectives. I all of a sudden felt like I was in an episode of Law & Order: SVU and Munch and Stabler were checkin out what we found. We were dismissed shortly after, so we'll never know unless we see it on the news..LOL.
Annnnnyyywayyys. Moving on. That's pretty much all the fun and excitement that's been going on in my life lately. I don't have much to talk about, don't have much to joke about, but give me a few more days and I'm sure I'll have alot to vent about. I start injections for IVF on Saturday....I know I'll wanna vent about that..LOL.

is great at work, but sucks at home. I have been back to work for two weeks and I've blogged twice...only twice...jeesh. Gotta get back to Motivational Mondays and Thursday's Thought of the Day...Sunday funnies are still a norm. Ok, here I go back to my horrible time management and catch up with my SVU marathon. Peace out!

Dear Gisele Bundchen,

Fuck. You.
You may have just given birth not that long ago and although I have yet to give birth, I know it still hurts. So whydontcha just shut your face about how you experienced NO PAIN WHATEVER. Quotes like this,make us think you're the biggest liar ever.
Love,
Jenn

"It wasn't painful, not even a little bit. The whole time, my head was so focused..every contraction, the baby is closer, the baby is closer. So it wasn't like, 'Oh what pain'. The second day, I was walking, I was washing dishes, I was making pancakes in the kitchen."Seriously. Either you had some seriously good drugs that you don't wanna admit to or you did not actually give birth. You can't seriously push something the size of a watermellon out of something that only opens to 10cm and feel no pain. Some people can't even poop without pain. So I declare you a big fat liar. Mmmkay?
Love,
Jenn
Super(commercial)bowl Sunday
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
Wow, it's been a whole week since my last post. I guess that's what happens when you start a new job, which I did last week. So, I guess I need to figure out my schedule to get my blogs in =).
It's Superbowl Sunday and to be truthful, I could give a shit about the game. I don't know anything about football, I don't like football and I'm only in it today for the booze and commercials. Hey, at least I'm honest. I'm also looking forward to making my buffalo chicken dip..I haven't made that in a long time.
So speaking of supercommercialbowl sunday, it seems like this year's Nipplegate is the commercials. There was a commercial for a gay dating website that got 86'd, but they'll allow a pro life commercial?!? It's gotta be because Tim "crybaby" Tebow is in it. Why? Why? WHY push your personal agenda of pro life down my throat, major tv network, but don't allow another's lifestyle on the air? WTF is that about? Seriously. At least they let Planned Parenthood step up and air a Pro Choice commercial to give the other side of the spectrum. Can you immagine the uproar if the network hadn't let that happen? Unreal. How they think absolutely amazes me...."let's run multimillion dollar spots about abortion, but fuck that gay dating website spot...that's gross. we don't want people to think we're ok with being gay...let's push our anti abortion agenda on them instead...that's not as bad" You might think I'm exagerating, but I'm not.
Whatever.
On to my newest favorite thing. John Mayer. Don't get me wrong, I've been into John Mayer's hottness since he sexed it up with "Your Body is a Wonderland", but now I've discovered that he is an AMAZING soundbyte.
I keep up on the whole pop culture scene and do alot of reading to prep for my show at K104 and two weeks in a row, John has spit out some serious gems. Last week there was a story about how he spoke out about musicians/celebs that try to be what they're not with putting out clothing lines and perfumes. He says
Then this week to my delight, another great John Mayer soundbyte gem. This time about Tiger Woods. He says,
Cheers to you John Mayer, you crazy sonofabitch! I look forward to next week's soundbyte gem!

“Who out there really goes, ‘You know what, I just fucking love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren’t a pop singer, I’d be a perfumier…’? I’m not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I’m not selling ‘John Mayer: the cologne’. If I did it would just smell like sausage and sleep,”Awesome.
Then this week to my delight, another great John Mayer soundbyte gem. This time about Tiger Woods. He says,
"Tiger Woods' problems come from him being married. The End. If Tiger Woods was single and he texted a girl and said 'I wanna wear your ass like a hat', why would that ever hit the news? I can text whatever I want to anybody in the world; I'm not married. I write alot of dirty text messages to girls, and you've never seen any of them"I for one would love to either A)be a recipient of one of these dirty txts or B) at least be able to see them. HA!
Cheers to you John Mayer, you crazy sonofabitch! I look forward to next week's soundbyte gem!

Bad life decisions vs. Good life decisions...
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
Good Mornin' y'all! It's Sunday funday and although there's no football today(not that I care about that anyways)I've still got some fun for your Sunday. Today's fun is about bad decisions and good decisions. While looking through the show prep stuff at K104, I came across this awesome video. OK, maybe being a janitor isn't the best life decision, but the way he uses certain things to his advantage is...check it out.
Efficiency at it's best!!
Now...for today's very very bad life decision. We all know Kelis has been known for some flamboyant outfits, but this is just creepy. I was trolling TMZ this morning and found this ...
WTF?!?
Seriously, that's all I could think! What. The. Fudge.
Really Kelis? Do you really wanna look like a sea monkey? And what the hell are those shoes? They look downright uncomfortable. And just wrong. If you've ever seen the movie I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, then you must remember this scene after the pimp gets released from jail..
Tell me those fish shoes don't remind you of the shoes Kelis has on in that pic above! You can't. HA!
On that note, back to my show I go. Give us a listen online! K104 Online

Happy Saturday everyone! It's a freezing cold Saturday, but at least it's the weekend...and one of my last days of unemployment. But that's not the point of this post...I shall move on and get to the point.
The ever boring and becoming extinct Miss America pagent is coming up and apparently there was something with preliminaries and the judges or some crap like that, but the end result was this WTF type video that left my jaw on the floor and slightly mentally scarred.

I'm beside myself & Central Park
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
I actually found a job!!! Holy Crap I go back to work on Monday!
I found this job online on Sunday, sent my resume and heard from them yesterday. Scheduled an interview for this morning at 9am. Little did anyone know we were getting this crazy ass snow storm. It quite seriously took me 3 hours to get to Stamford. I spun out once and my breaks kept grinding and locking until I got to Wilton.
So, I had made my phonecalls to the COO I was meeting with to let him know my situation and he pretty much rearranged his day for me! Awesome!
Had a great interview and something happend at the end of this job interview that hasn't happend at any of the other two job interviews I've had over the past year. I GOT THE JOB! I have a 60 day trial period (just like any job) and become a regular full time benefit receiving employee after that! I got my offer letter today and am completely beside myself in shock. I really can't believe I go back to work on Monday.
Ironically, Monday is the day before the anniversary of the car accident. I guess that the beginning of February is going to be a good thing from now on! Absolutely amazing that I have something other than the looming grey of the accident to think of next week. I must say I'm on cloud nine right now.
I actually found a job!!! Holy Crap I go back to work on Monday!
I found this job online on Sunday, sent my resume and heard from them yesterday. Scheduled an interview for this morning at 9am. Little did anyone know we were getting this crazy ass snow storm. It quite seriously took me 3 hours to get to Stamford. I spun out once and my breaks kept grinding and locking until I got to Wilton.
**Side Note** Hey Snow!!! GO TO HELL
So, I had made my phonecalls to the COO I was meeting with to let him know my situation and he pretty much rearranged his day for me! Awesome!
Had a great interview and something happend at the end of this job interview that hasn't happend at any of the other two job interviews I've had over the past year. I GOT THE JOB! I have a 60 day trial period (just like any job) and become a regular full time benefit receiving employee after that! I got my offer letter today and am completely beside myself in shock. I really can't believe I go back to work on Monday.

What the--?? I missed Motivational Monday?
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
It is apparent that amongst the excitement of Ghettotainment, I forgot about Motivational Monday. Partially I guess, because I was slightly motivated yesterday. I got up nice and early, got dressed up all pretty and drove down to Trumbull in the middle of a monsoon to go to a job fair.
I had preregistered online two weeks prior and still had to stand in this HUGE ASS line when I got there. I was able to head in for a seminar I wanted to go to in which I got to call out the guy from the DOL when he started selling the fact that there are WIA(workforce investment act) dollars available to the unemployed for reskilling. I promptly raised my hand after his schpeel about it during the Q&A and quite proudly called him out on it. The truth about the WIA money is that, if you got laid off in late '08 or very early '09, you might have a chance at money...but if you didn't get laid off and get your dislocated worker certification early enough, you got screwed - like I did.
*cue the tangent from my original point*

"Ghettotainment"....WTF?
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE
Hey fellow bloggies and readers! I left you with a word to savor last night and I promised I'd be back to give you more detail...and as promised, here I am!
I love Wanda Sykes's Saturday night show on Fox and on the segment called the WandaBar, they talked about this new thing in LA called the Gang Tours. I had to do a double take and rewind the DVR a little to make sure I heard it right.
Yup, you heard it folks! People used to go to LA to buy maps to the homes of celebrities, now you get a map of the gang grounds. No kidding.
You can pay $65, get on a bus that will drive you through the gang turfs of LA. There's gotta be some sort of release you have to sign before getting on that bus - "we reserve the right to not take the blame if you get shot and die. Take this tour at your own risk. Who is your next of kin?" But for those of you who are unemployed and wanna do things on the cheap, just roll up the windows and take a drive through Compton and risk getting shot at for free! Same experience, save yourself $65, no? But then again, I guess you wouldn't get the "I got shot in South Central" tshirt you would've been getting after getting shot with water guns on the South Central bus stop(read: ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?!?). Another added bonus, you're encouraged to have your picture taken with ex-gang members recruited to sit next to passangers on the bus(read:AGAIN, ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS??!?) So, something tells me this is so not a good idea, but I leave you to judge that one yourself...lol.

A slight rant and then venting about the 2ww!
Have you subscribed yet? You won't be dissapointed! CLICK HERE!!
I realized something today while driving that I think should be addressed. Why do some traffic lights have green arrows for the turn if the arrow is only going to be green for litterally 5 seconds. Seriously. Pointless.
It takes me about 10 seconds to react to the green, start pressing on the gas to get going, because..let's face it, not everyone guns it when the light turns green.
As I'm sitting at this intersection in Danbury on South Street by the Dunkin Donuts (yes I give directions in relations to Dunks...and bars...so I guess I'm a caffinated drunk...lol) and the light turns green with the green arrow for the left hand turn and quite seriously it turned yellow after 5 seconds. The first car hadn't even gotten through the turn! What the hell kind of planning is that? Utter bullshit. City of Danbury needs better traffic light planners....maybe that's a job I can have! HA!
Now on to the 2ww(read: the most excruciating and axious two weeks of my life)
