I, too, was told my numbers for bonus and salary.
I was pleasantly surprised in both areas.
Yay me!

Got my bib number…
I got my Shamrock Shuffle bib number in the mail today. It is number 11012. I am so excited and nervous about this. I have to go pick up my race packet either March 23 or 24 at Navy Pier. The race is getting closer. *eek*
The Potty Saga Continues…
As previously written, Diego has used the potty chair once. We are really not pushing this but when the opportunity arises, we go for it. Usually after we bathe Diego was bathed, we let him play in the tub for a little while. After a while, we noticed he was grunting. I hightailed it to get the potty chair from the downstairs bathroom. We take Diego out of the bath, dry him off a little bit and sit him down on the chair. He was pointing to himself and saying “poo poo” in Spanish. We were cheering him on. So we waited and waited. He was playing with some rubber “ucks” while sitting on the potty. And we waited some more. This went on for about 30 minutes. So finally Eric finally asked Diego if he wanted up. He did and we noticed that he had gone number 1. Diego peed in the potty and we did not even notice. Yay!!!
Saga continues…
Good deeds…
Well, last night I did two good deeds. One planned and the other unplanned.
On Tuesday, I found a UIC ID at the parking garage across the street from Little Gym. I figured I should find the person, which I did via the school online directory, and send them an email. After sending an email to the ID’s owner and waited over 24 hours, I finally got an email from her yesterday. We met at Caribou and she was very grateful.
So I was walking home, someone asked me where Prairie Ave & 14th St was. So I gave him instructions on how to get there.
That made me feel good on a cold and windy night. I did two good unselfish things this week. I think I am set for the rest of the year. 😉
Justin Timberlake…
I am going to see Justin Timberlake in concert with Manda. He will be at the Allstate Arena on March 12 & 13. I am so excited. I am not a really big fan of his but I do like a lot of his current songs. March 13 here we come!!!
Squishy…
Pregnancy Flashback:
When we first saw the baby’s ultrasound, we were in awe. It was amazing that we were looking at someone who was growing inside of me. The funny thing is we both pictured two different things: Eric pictured Tweety and I pictured ET. Don’t ask. LOL!
After getting a copy of the ultrasound, I decide to call the baby “Squishy.” Don’t know why it came to me all of the sudden and it fit perfectly. In the movie Finding Nemo, one of the main characters, Dory, finds a baby jellyfish and says “I shall call him squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my squishy!”
Not sure why I thought of this line but it just felt perfect. So for the reset of my pregnancy, the baby was known as Squishy.
Happy Valentine’s Day Diego!
Stupid person…
We were driving home last night. It was snowing and snowing. We were driving on an unplowed side street, you know the kind the city plows last. We were heading towards a intersection with the green light for us. Eric was probably driving 10-15 mph. We saw a guy who starts crossing the street without even looking to see if anyone is coming. Eric softly starts to break but he started to slide. Thankfully, the guy was already more that half way across the street but still! If he would have hit the guy, whose fault would it be? Eric’s of course. I just couldn’t wait to get home.
I wonder what the guys was think when he decided to cross the street. There was a bus stopped at corner so maybe he just wanted to get to it. But still, should he just look both ways before crossing the street? He did not even do that. Stupid, stupid, stupid!
According to the meterologist, the storm advisery is extended from midnight to 9 am tomorrow. I just can’t wait for this snowstorm to be over.
5 am…
Diego woke up at 5 am this wonderful morning. I knew already that he was going to wake up early but I am (gratefully) surprised it was at 5 and not 1 am.
Why did I know this? Because the night before, he drank 10 ounces of juice before he went to bed. When he does this (and I try to avoid it because of this), he has the tendency to soak himself. His diaper cannot hold the amount necessary to not soak himself. It was crazy. Soaked his diaper, onesie, pajamas and his crib sheet.
As expected he was not happy. I had to strip him down. Thankfully Eric helped out.
After getting him into dry clothes and a dry diaper, I sat down in his rocking chair. It was 5:30 am. We eventually fell asleep. I woke up at 6 am but I had a dilema: 1) Put him in the crib and risk him waking up or 2) just stay in the chair and be uncomfortable for the next hour and half. Chose option 2 of course.
Things we do for our children. =)
36.9 miles…
That is the total running I did for the month of January!!! I have never ran this much in my life so hopefully it is the start of something beautiful.
New running shoes…
I went out and bought some new running shoes.
I got some Saucony Women’s Grid Trigon 4 Guide shoes.
The guy at the shoe place had me try on three different pairs to see which was were the best fit. These were the winners. Can’t wait to break them in.
My old pair are at least 6 years old. How embarrassing. I never ran in them like I should have. They are Nike Max Air Converge Triax.
Good bye old, hello new!
