Ebay Crazy -- Hoowah!
Don't even ask what the title means because I have no freakin' clue. You know, I'm really crappy at keeping up with this blogging thing. But who cares, really? Well, Cinco de Mayo was . . . let's just say . . . uneventful. But come on how many of you were really partying it up -- besides Joel.
So I am now officially hired -- finally. I found out Friday but I guess my hire date was technically Monday, which makes me happy. I'm now working over in the Ebay dept. for my company and it's WAY cooler than what I was doing before (listing books on Amazon for those of you who can't remember anything). I'm still in a warehouse which will royally suck come summer time but there are a lot of perks.
1. I can now sit. Listing books we had to stand ALL DAY. Now I'm at a desk with a nice soft chair.
2. Things are a lot more relaxed. My new boss doesn't keep track of how fast we are listing which is less stressful.
3. The schedule -- before I had to be to work AT 6:00 (yes, I know some of you do the same -- so you know that it SUCKS) and now I start at 7:30. That hour and a half makes a lot of difference. My body just doesn't like getting up at 5:00.
4. I haven't taken advantage of this yet but my supervisor can get me a set of headphones and I can listen to music and stuff -- he even has Harry Potter on CD if we want to listen to it.
5. I can surf the web on my lunch hour and break. They're pretty relaxed about internet use too. I don't know if I would have gotten in trouble at the old building but they seemed kind of pissy (for lack of a better word) about internet use.
Those are just a few of the many reasons that I like where I am now. I'm sure you're all snoring right now. Kristen loves being at home during the day now. I'm glad that things have worked out so that she can do so. She's kind of stressing out about her Spanish class. She has class twice a week -- Mon. and Wed. night. I don't blame her though. She hasn't studied Spanish since HS -- almost 8 years. Also, 40% of her grade is the final and that's their ONLY test -- now that sucks.
Chantrea is growing a lot. She's 95th percentile for height and 85th for weight. She doesn't crawl yet but is still EXTREMELY mobile. She rolls all over the place! Turn your head for a minute and she's rolled across the room and is pulling at the router or other cables. Her favorite thing though is to have at paper. I've decided I don't need to buy her any toys -- why buy toys when I can get a magazine subscription, read the magazine and keep her happy for like $20 for the whole year (most toys cost that much). Next Christmas -- boxes and wrapping paper, that's it!
I'm happy Spring is here. I'm looking forward to going camping although camping with a baby will be interesting to say the least.

Sweet! Congratulations...I just put a bunch of stuff on eBay. You'll have to tell us all the insider selling secrets!
Yeah, we're very excited that Spring is here (well, it feels like summer, w/ these 85 degree days!). We want to go camping for a couple of weekends this summer to KY and TN, maybe a weekend trip to Nashville too. I haven't really been to that part of the country since I was about 9 years old, so that should be fun...
Camping with a kid isn't THAT different, except you have to keep a close eye on him/her. Of course, Jaden was walking when we went last summer, so if Chantrea isn't walking yet, it should be even better!
Sounds like things are going well. Just remind Kristen that no one will worry about her grade in Spanish class if she's not getting a job translating from Spanish. Grades are overrated.
And I'm with Z: hook us up with the eBay secrets! Unless you're one of the annoying companies that advertises all that annoying crap (My mom lost 100 lbs with this! Bidding starts at $0.01!!!!!). Then I'll just be annoyed.
