UPDATE: several new blog posts.

get ready for some reading. i have finally updated my blog. so scroll down to start - if you are like me and like to go in order. enjoy.

new love

hen has found his first pal and is in love. pooh bear. he wouldn't eat his breakfast the other day unless "bear" was sitting either in the high chair or on the tray. yes he even tried to feed bear his food. (ps. the green beads were from an amazingly awesome night of st. pattys day bunco the night before).

and now we are caught up to MARCH 2010 - quack quack

finally the weather was nice enough to take a day and feed the ducks. or "quack quacks" as hen calls them.
getting ready to go. hen insisted on wearing this awesomely oversized winter hat. it didn't come off all day. even when we got home.

hen was more interested in eating the bread then feeding it to the ducks.

backin it up - FEB 2010

in february our big event was having baby dylan visit us. we had so much fun, except for maybe dylan who cried the better half of his time with us. isn't he scrumptous? i can't ever believe that hen was that size.

hen a little apprehensive
warming up with the hand on the head
and completely jealous by this time when i laid dylan down to play with his legs. hen climbed on the couch and laid down by him and put his legs in the air and wiggled them back and forth so he could be in on the action.

backin it up - JAN 2010

i just barely downloaded my pics all the way from halloween!! so i will fill you in on what we have been up to: In January MCA and i went to a jazz game, we all supported the grammys with our 3D wear, and had hen's 2nd bday:

jazz game ice cream
we love DWILL


supporting the grammys. RIP MJ

we took hen to the dinosaur museum at thanksgiving point for his bday
this dino was HUGE. MCA and hen didn't even make it to the top of this guys knee. this place was amazing.
famous feeding henry to the animals picture
bday ice cream or "free free" as hen calls it

i'll meet you there...

this is going to be me for the next 6 weeks.


because my awesome job (that is "invaluable experience" as i have recently been told by a respectable man)is having annual reviews at this juncture. have i been pulled for a review every hugging year since i started working for the government? yes. do i think this is preposterous and childishly unfair? yes. honestly, i hate complaining about my job. really, i do. i mean by nature i am sort of a complainer, which is something i would like to work on, but not during this post. anyway, i hate complaining about having a job that i can at least go to everyday. what, with all the insanity of the "greater depression" looming around our door. but holy lord. i just want a hugging break people. these are my issue(s).

1. stop telling me that this quality case review is "qualityafiably" radom. because it is not. there is nothing random about all of my cases having a different ethnicity marked in the box other than "white". there is absolutely nothing random about one of my cases being pulled for review that closed 2 days before the case pull and it wasn't replaced with the exact same kind of case. no. it was replaced with a different case, same family, OF MINE. that last part will only make sense to like two people, nevertheless, it. is. not. random.

2. please do not email me something that says "well hello there, congratulations. you are the lucky people that get to have your case reviewed this year". seriously? hug off. i feel like i am being mocked over something that gets a pat on the back after all this insane amount of work that is put into it. and really, you know that person that sends that email? yeah that person's job is basically on the line if we don't do an awesomely good job and pass our damn reviews. so don't you think that person would have a little more tact when addressing "thee who must save job"? this is how i felt after reading that email:



3. in all reality, unless a worker really hugs up their review, life will go on. i mean i was reviewed by the hugging director last year and i did ok at least. but in any case. wouldn't it be a valid argument to say that if you passed one year, you should at least "hold the immunity idol" for the next year? I mean because we all know it. is. not. random. on any level. so they might as well incorporate this fun little tactic to keep us sane while we drudge through their evil devised plan to make us cry on our way home from work.

4. i often think and possibly voice my serious frustration about being the whipping boy at my job. we are so unthanked, unloved, unappreciated. and there isn't a hugging thing we can do about it. but this review thing. it just reinforces my feelings of inadequacy and knowledge that whatever i do tomrrow at my job, it doesn't matter. so we have a GET THIS, a "case review hugging kickoff party" tomorrow. and you know what. no. i am not going. i am over it. three years in a row. and i have been up half the night thinking about it, so perhaps i can use this as comp time. and why i won't go tomorrow. because i am the farmer. and they are the animals. and they are throwing hugging old nasty food at me. and i am ditchin out on my man farmer joe. see you at the hugging office.
