Clean up time!

Its the first week since I started posting my blogs on WordPress. I have Zein to thank for putting me onto this site quite a while ago. I’m finally posting, buddy! Eventually, Chelly07 is going to expand and be better. I’ll find my niche…cement my style, however long it takes. Just keep swimming…swimming swimming…

Everybody, my niece came into the world last night!
Name: Alexa Naomi
Born: March 7, 2005
Time: 8:20pm.
Weight: 8 1/2lbs
Length: 22in.
Parents: Jesmy (21) & Robert (29)

She’s quite healthy and sleepy. The poorthing and herparents went through quite an ordeal. But all is welland everyone has slept through the night. I woke up alittle early (I’m an early riser anyway).

I tell you though, Homebirth is no joke people. Myback is killing me. I was camera girl, slave, and janitor when the whole thing was over. Try to even imagine emptying a pool of water saturated inblood/placenta. Well….DON’T actually (yuk!) I’m upearly cause I’d like to try and catch up on being Auntie.

I’m posting up a picture on myspace.com and blog soI’ll keep you guys posted, here and everywhere else. Can’t shut me up now! Oh happy day!

The Lunch That Never Was

Here I am at work, mindin’ my own business, bullshittin’ on myspace.com and faking the funk like I have a job too important to pay attention to anyone else when it happened.

A dark figure moves past my desk and out of my sight too soon for me to catch the face. But my stomach just sank. It couldn’t have been for no reason. Whatever. Just go back to what you were doing. The chinese lunch special will be here any minute and you haven’t eaten all day. Maybe your just hungry.

A minute later in comes the nice old chinese guy who always makes the deliveries rain or shine (and its actually snowing pretty hard out there right now) with my lunch. I pay him, get up and stretch before heading to the lounge. As I pass a large desk with mailboxes before hanging a right to the hole-in-the-wall they’ve designated as our rest spot, I just notice that Mr. Tall and Dark was standing there. Apparently I didn’t see him walk past my desk the second time.

*uGHH! There it goes again.

In my head I’m telling myself….relax! shit! Lunch is here already! WTF is wrong with my stomach?
I reach the lounge door and stop cold. I hear the voice now and something in about it registered in me. *put your lunch down and go wash your hands. The bathroom door is right infront of the mail boxes.

Good idea. So its “about-face” and off to the bathroom I go. He’s gone. I’m not giving up. I decided to stop by my desk one more time. I….forgot….MY PEN! Yeah. Thats it. (not that I need a pen to eat chicken and broccoli but whatever) I reach for the pen and there he pops up… having recognized ME FIRST!

Mr. Tall, Dark (and now, handsome): Hey! I remember you.
Michi (lying cause he now looks familiar): Excuse me?
Mr. TDH: We worked together at the Gap like 5 years ago. We were both seasonals. You used to like that kid…whats his face?
Michi: Oh yeahhhhhh! What guy? (I was lying about that too) Wait, you mean Roland? (see?)Mr. TDH: Yeahhhh, Roland. By the way, just in case you forgot, its Rich. *extends hands
Michi: *shakes hand. Of course! The history major. How have you been? Its been so long!

Well to keep a story thats already too long shorter, we had a nice 10 minute conversation infront of all the patients and a couple of nurses (bitches are sooooo nosey I tell ya) about college, work, being single, going to the movies and the future projects underway, whew. He can talk! (I like that too, lol) In the end, he wished me well and asked me if I’m around this location alot (i’m a floater) and I told him I’d be here Mondays.

Great, now I’m going to be keeping and eye out for ‘em. I ended up throwing my lunch away. I’m such a dork, huh?

Catbox, I’ll bring you back!!

 

I had a little blog once, years ago.  Its name was The Litterbox Confessional.  I’ve been considering bringing it back in a sub category, maybe.   It was such a catchy name, but I like WordPress better than Blogger.com.   Its just that it takes so much effort to go ahead and start another account just because I can’t get rid of the oh-so prosaic “Chelly07’s Weblog.”

 

What was I thinking?!

Well, this was my little hook:

Welcome to The Litterbox Confessional. Care to feast your eyes on some nonsensical brain farting? Ever wonder why you can’t keep your eyes open when you sneeze? Did it ever cross your mind to test and see if its true that scorpions committ suicide when fed drops of alcohol? Me either. Its all splendiforously craptastical. A not-so-great escape from the terrifically boring mundanity of your job. I mean if your reading this…it must be, right?
