A little bit of this and a little bit of that

I have so many different thoughts running around my head that I thought it would be fitting that I would do a "this and that" thread.
  • I won a $50 gift certificate at paperlicious.com from the 5 minutes for Mom ultimate blogging party. I am so excited. They have some really cute personalized stationary and note cards.
  • My bloggy friend CDJ awarded me with the unconditional friendship award. I am so shocked and so honored. Thank you so much! Right back at ya babe.
  • Still no word on the position yet. ((sigh)) I figure I will give them until the end of the day tomorrow before I send them a "touching base" email.
  • Matt is home from his trip (yeah!) and shouldn't have another business trip until May. Or so he says.
  • We leave in 17 days for Thailand. I am not sure who is more nervous... myself or my mother since she will be here with all three kids and their crazy schedule.
  • I have decided that I am getting myself Sam and Emily the Wii Dance Dance Revolution game for Easter. It is only fair since we have gotten ourselves Chris Mario Galaxy.
  • I am not looking forward to another night of "The Beatles" on American Idol. But of course I will watch anyways since I am addicted to the show.
  • I have someone working on a website for my freelancing services. I am so excited to see what it will look like in the end. Nothing fancy, but still cool. I will be global! Ha ha
  • I went shopping yesterday to get some clothes for the trip and came away with this surprising purchase. No not women's lingerie. I never would have thought it would look good but it actually did. Stylish and shows just the perfect amount of leg. (sorry dad)

Will you tell where you got the dress? It's very cute. What shoes will you wear with it? You know you must have the perfect pair of heels or ballet flats to look kick-booty :) Can I online shop for you? :)

I can't believe only 17 days. I bet you are so excited but knowing you, also very nervous. Did you get medication for the plane ride???

Congrats on your award!

And congrats on the prize!! Now this means you have to write more letters. And it also means you have to mail them ;)

Darn it on the job. Hopefully you'll hear before you leave for T-land!!

I am glad Matt is home. Neil is off again. At least he'll be home by Easter.

I won a dvd on 5M4M. At least I won something!

I just found your blog because of 5m4m. Congrats on your big win. I'm a former PR girl myself. I love the dress you purchased. Very cute.

Shocking I know but I actually found the dress at Kohls. I have a cute pair of strappy heeled sandals that I was thinking of wearing. I'm not sure what to do with a fashionable Alexis. I even bought 2 bathing suits at Victoria Secret ::thud::

Love that dress!! It's beautiful. I really, really want Dance, Dance Revolution. I think it would be such good exercise. I guess we'd have to get some sort of gaming system first : ) And I can't believe your trip is only 17 days away. That's crazy. You'll have so much fun!

I was not excited about a second week of Beatles songs on AI, even though I love the Beatles.... will be glad when they switch it up next week.

And, that dress is too cute! I cannot wait to shop for "non-maternity" clothes again!!!!

17 days- Whoo Hoo!!!!
