Early Birthday...

Today was one of Cosmo's three birthday parties...

Sleepy

Cosmo passed out. It would be nice to feel this level of comfort again as an adult but that ship has sailed...

This one was a hoot...

This own owl is from Canon's website and took about 6 days to do working on it during breaks and really long calls where I didn't need to be glued to the stupid computer...

This one didn't come out as great as I thought it might.

Steel AT AT? No...Paper AT AT!

This is the last project for a while as our desk locations at work are going to be moved again and I am not going to have the desk space to continue on as easily as I have in the past 6 months or so...We are headed back to welfare cubbies. I've enjoyed breaking away from aircraft a little and doing a couple recognizable things has been fun. I have one more Star Wars project ready to print out and go which is an Imperial Walker but like I said, the desk space may slow that one down quite a bit.

Half way through my next project. This one appears to be completeable on the 4th day of breaks, lunches, and slow times between calls first thing in the morning. Once I get it complete, not sure if I'll be starting another until we are moved to our new desks as I have no idea the amount of space I'll have for my creations. I know they are only paper but I don't really want to get rid of any of them...

Silent Killer

Today started off really good and early. I woke up around 3:30 this morning to a phone call from Meredith kind of in a panic because the Carbon Monoxide alarm was going off. If you don't have one, some models are similar to a smoke alarm where as others plug into a wall outlet. The one we had in the house was the smoke alarm type and aparently was giving an alarm. She replaced the battery and it still wouldn't stop giving an alarm so she called me to come get the kids out of the house then called the appropriate authorities. I threw on enough clothes to head over and when I got there the fire department was there and the alarm had stopped. They had a portable tester and had indicated that all was ok. Apparently when you replace the batteries in these things, they take a while to reset giving reason for someone to think they have a Carbon Monoxide problem and add unneccesary stress to life for a little bit. Mere went back to bed with the kids and I attempted to grab a quick bit of sleep. Cosmo finally woke around 6, had a bottle and got set up so I could go get ready for work. Only about 14 hours left to deal with today...Why the heck is it that these things only happen in the middle of the night?

The neighbor making some old dude help her get out as she couldn't quite get things to work out in the driveway.

Poor Belt

Yep, The stress of life has showed itself on the belt. Back this time last year I was pushing upwards of 190lbs and eating my way into size 36 waist pants. Life has changed substantially and I'm now down to 159lbs (according to wii fit)and a size 33 waist. I should probably just buy a new belt but for now, I'll just continue to add the holes. Poor belt...
