i don't have time for the drama. keep it out.

baby owen is the cutest damn thing i have ever seen. he has SO much hair! 7 pounds 13 ounces. owen ronald schell. he's the first baby in the family that i am actually old enough to remember.

nicole went into labor at 9am, but ended up having an emergency C section and owen was born at 925pm. we were at the hospital from 1230pm until just after midnight. it was a very long day, but obviously very worth it.

today during lunch i walked to the hospital to visit, and i got to hold him. it was my first time holding a baby ever. he's so tiny.




( +18 )

baby owen was born on saturday night around 9:25.

( i have a nephew :) )

chicago is awesome. i'm having a really, really great time with sara.

we couldn't get tickets to oprah, so we're going to the springer show on monday instead. holler.

and i got a tattoo. no details until i can post pictures.

i'm going to fort lauderdale with josie, leanne, and kevin at the end of may.

i'm also going to see sara in march for st. patty's day.

finally, something to look forward to.

two and a half years later, tomorrow is my last day at applebee's.

i want to buy a new digital camera. i'm not looking to spend hundredsss of dollars, but i do want to get a quality camera.

thoughts/suggestions?

i haven't moved from the couch since saturday evening. i've been sick. really sick. coughing, sneezing, stuffy nose, headache, vomiting - the works. (flu symptoms, maybe? should have gotten the damn flu shot..) i don't remember the last time i was this sick. i called into wilson monday and tuesday.

i somehow thought showering on monday was a good idea. not so much. i felt so weak that i literally could not lift my arm to wash my hair.

i'm feeling better now. not good, by any means, but better. still weak, coughing, stuffy.

i have to go to work tomorrow. not looking forward to it. here's to hoping i can make it through the day.

thanks to livejournal for the increase in userpics. holler.

james comes home from school tonight, and he'll be home for a month. i can't wait. being the only kid at home sucks.

i'm desperately trying to grow my hair out. it's been short now for well over a year, and it's time for a change. it's taking FOREVERRR.

my new job is crazy. it's really hard to listen to people's problems all day long. i really like the people that i work with though, so that definitely helps. how long am i going to have the "new girl" status for? i'm sick of it.

i was passing by this girl that works somewhere in the building yesterday. i see her occasionally while i'm on lunch and yesterday as she passed by she randomly blurts out, "what happened to your eye?" way to be sensitive. bitch. ashley pointed out how rude that was and the chick hasn't talked to me since.

i am SO DAMN SICK of christmas music. i have to listen to it all day at the health center, all night at applebee's when i'm there. it's everywhere. ugh.

papa schell sent out a family newsletter for christmas, like he does every year. he always goes through the entire family and writes about what everyone is up to these days. i was left out this year. "james is in college.. sara's living in chicago and going to college.." how about jenna's been cancer free for over a year? and she works her ass off at two jobs? my dad said something to him, and he e-mailed me apologizing and said he left out one sentence from his scrap copy. tis the season.

i have off tonight and i don't have any plans. i don't want any plans. i'm going to relax and lounge around and go to sleep early. i'm very excited.
