I'm seriously considering paying the $45 to reschedule my test. It is scheduled for this Saturday and I don't feel comfortable with it AT ALL. I'm weighing my options.
Original Test Fee - $130 (non refundable and way past the partial refund date)
Reschedule for July 25- $45
OR
Take test this Saturday and schedule to take it again on July 25 - $80
Seriously I feel sick to my stomach.....I bet I've got an ulcer forming in there as we speak!

Monday Madness!
Well, I was all gung ho about walking during my lunch break and getting in some much needed exercise, but who turned up the heat? Whoa! Then it was mentioned to me to use the dusty treadmill in our back room instead of huffing it outside....smart girl that one!
So, I changed and got on the treadmill (it even has a built in fan) and started walking, staring at the wall because I was not prepared for this. If I had thought ahead, I would have stolen a gossip mag from the bathroom stash before Hubby realized it was missing so I could keep myself entertained and brought my mp3 player. Well, didn't really matter anyway, because 1/2 mile into it I moved that clip thing that was attached to the emergency safety stop thing and it cut off! I tried for about 2-3 minutes to get the dang thing turned back on, but to no avail.....so, I decided to trek it outside for a while to finish what I started. NOT AGAIN!
Reasons why I won't be walking during lunch:
I have to change
I sweat - A LOT
It's too hot
I have to change back into work clothes
I sweat - A LOT
My hair "curls" or whatever you want to call it
and I sweat - A LOT
I've been back inside for about 30 minutes or more and my head is still sweaty....hair all yuckified - not pretty! So, from now on, if I can't get the treadmill to turn on, then I guess I'll just have to walk at night.
Oh, and I had left over salmon for lunch....at least the stinch of fish covered up my workout stink....I'm sure the girls would tell me if I was too foul - because if not, then they just aren't as good of friends as I thought!

Rested Up
I spent a wonderful relaxing weekend Little Hauss and Hubby free in Raleigh and it was fantastic. I drove down to my MiniSoda's house on late Friday afternoon and enjyoed a kid free dinner with my new fave, Bud Lite Lime, then chatting it up until we were pooped! I slept in on Saturday morning untila bout 7:45, and yes, that is extremely late for me! We enjoyed some coffee (that her sweet Hubby made for us) and headed out for an early lunch at another fave, Moe's, before heading to our afternoon at the Spa!
We enjoyed a mini facial, pedicures, and manicures (which were ok - but the point was to be refreshed and relaxed, and my nail girl was all but that - high strung, off the wall and a chatterbox - which I usually could hold my own with! I think I've decided to go just stick with the run of the mill nail salons with asian speaking employees -first of all, they don't try to talk TO you, just about you and its way cheaper for the same service!) before heading to Swoozie's (an adorable stationary and gift shop) and Target for some shopping. I got a great gift for my MIL for her upcoming birthday later this month and then few things for Little Hauss and myself. I am in LOVE with these and will definitely be going back for more colors! Little Hauss racked up with some new t-shirts and some dollar bin toys - doesn't take much to get him excited!
I got home yesterday early enough to spend some time poolside and then enjoyed a cat nap on the couch before the grocery store run!
Now, back to the work thing and looking forward to meeting a new little baby boy tonight who was born last weekend!!! Can't wait!

I'm in trouble....
Little Hauss had to go to the doctor earlier this week because of a planter's wart on his foot! Well, of course there is about nothing they can do for him and since it really isn't causing any pain, we are just letting it be - but this is not my issue!
They measured and weighed him. I about choked when I learned my child is 50 lbs and 45 inches tall!!!!!!! To put this in perspective, I am almost 30 and I am only 62 inches tall!!! He is 3 years old and 9 months! I'm in big trouble! He still wants to be held sometimes or for us to "swing" him when we are walking holding hands. I can't. This could be what has contributed to my shoulder and back problems....and the fact that I'm a little "top heavy" as the doctor said.
I knew he was big...not too big, but my goodness! I thought I'd have at least a few years before he started eating me out of house and home, but it's already happening! I should just drop the "little" and start refering to him as just Hauss! Sheesh!

Loving my playlist
So, I've become quite addicted to www.playlist.com at work. I's great. I have about 5 or 6 different playlists now and I just keep on going. I don't really have a favorite type of music, so this lets me choose my moood! I have everything from beach songs, country, classic rock, and even my own little guilty pleasure (teeny boppers). I know its crazy, but sometimes I just feel the need to jam to some old school new kids or backstreet boys! I'm not afraid to admit it! I'm sure my boss thinks I'm completely crazy since she can probably hear the sounds coming from my office....
Natural Alarm Clock
My body clock is so screwed up. It never fails that I have to get up to pee 30 minutes before my alarm goes off. I thought it was just a natural 5:30am thing, but lo and behold this morning I awoke to my urging bladder at 4:30am. Now, when I realized it was only 4:30, I thought, sweet, I get another hour and a half. Only when I was walking back to the bedroom did I remember I had to get up at 5 so I could be at work early for a meeting! Damn bladder!
This really puts a damper in my mornings. I'm just saying!
