Sunny 9 for 2005 March 21

(2) Mon Mar 21 2005 19:38 Most annoying: At my job I call people to verify info that they send us on their stories. Anyway, one of the most annoying things that happens is when I get the answering machine and I am halfway done leaving a message and all the sudden they pick up the phone and say hello. This is highly irritating to me b/c first of all I wasted my time and breath, secondly I hate the fact that they were just sitting there listening to me leave a message and at their discretion pick up the phone. I think it is rude. It just bothers me when people screen their calls. Maybe it is because I never get telemarketing calls. Listen people I have worked in telemarketing before (not now though) and the best thing to do is answer the phone and tell telemarketers to put you on their DO NOT CALL list, b/c if you just try to avoid them they will keep calling you back until they get a yes or no on whether you want to buy their product. That way you don't have to treat people who do have legit reasons to call like they are doing something wrong when in fact they are doing you a favor. So there!

(1) Mon Mar 21 2005 19:50 Pretty eventful weekend: This weekend lots happened. I got a perm for one. I just wanted to do something fun and new. I like it right now, but I still have to play more with it to see what I can do. It is more of a wavy perm than a tight curl grandma perm--like the ones my mom used to get.

Also, we rented Mystic River from Clean Flicks. I liked it more than I thought I would. It is disturbing but I wanted to try it out since it got all those Academy Awards last year. Some things were disturbing about some characters and I just want to shake them and say wake up. I recommend it but not if you have a weak stomach for murder and molestation. I kinda thought it was like a Law and Order SVU episode.

Baby Lily is sick again. Poor thing has a cold, and she hates when we force her to blow her nose. It's sad to hear her trying to breathe with all her congestion. We have made a break-through in her schedule though. She has been sleeping excellent this whole week. She goes to bed at 7:00pm then wakes at midnight for a feeding, then wakes at 7:00am for a feeding and sleeps more till 9:00am. Sometimes she will wake up slightly through the night but I just go in there and pat her back a little bit and she usually goes back to sleep right away or in 10 mins. But the difference is that her cries are little whereas before they were angry cries if I didn't pick her up and feed her. It has been so nice to be able to sleep like a normal person again.

Today we found out for sure that Aaron's was accepted into the Air Force Dental Scholarship program. Any little bit of help counts and it won't be so bad owing them year for year they pay for school.

Today I got in the mail a package from Grandma Smith for Lily. It is the most precious Easter dress with matching sweater and shoes. She also gave us the cutest summer outfit and little skirt and sandals. Aaron's mom has the best taste in baby clothes. Thanks Sherry!
