Sound adjustment. Possible for me?

I started a new job approximately over 2 weeks ago. Everyone keeps asking me how's it going? So far so good. I like it. I am the Scheduling Coordinator for a Dental Office in Port Isabel. Everyone is nice. There is so much to learn!!!! But I am having one BIG problem :(

I AM TOO LOUD! My boss told me the other day that when I call her over the intercom via the phone.... I make her heart skip a beat. That the next thing she thinks I'm going to tell her is that the building is on fire. I think it's funny, but I guess I really have to work at it. Maybe they'll just all join me and be LOUD? Anyways, it's no biggie. I'd much rather have that problem/issue versus something really serious :)

I bet they'll be happy when I have a sore throat, ha ha!

Before I started working here at Port Isabel Dental Associates, I had no desire to fix the gaps in my teeth. If celebrities were comfortable with them, so was I!! BUT now, I do want to have pretty pretty teeth! I'm learning that regular dental visits are a MUST!!!! I've always been under the impression that going to the dentist was a luxury.......BOY was I wrong!!!!!

What's on your pig?

How the tables have turned. About 4 months ago my friend Sal had blogged about some of us not working at Valley Diagnostic Clinic, Pat & I. Turns out I went back, and guess who's gone now? SAL! Of course, we are all happy he found a job that he will be happy at. Not that VDC isn't a happy place, but ............long story! Anyways, we went out to lunch at one of our favoritest place in Harlingen, BOOMERANG BABBA'S during his last week!

OF course, we called in advance to reserve some tables. Since the manager and waitor know us all so well...guess what they did for Sal? Just for him, the manager, Chris?Daniel? (inside joke) automatically said they'd put the "chicken tacos" as the special of the day. He'd always be bugging them for the tacos everytime we went. Although everything we eat there is delish! mmm! We have pictures to prove it! Pictures are in our phones or twitpic :)

For dessert we took him some sweet bread PIGS. We know he likes those, so Christi individually wrapped them in plastic bags. Each piggie was tagged with digiSal's famous phrases. It was fun brainstorming the phrases. Christi and I would text each other everytime we'd think of one. The phrases got better and better each time! Emily and I also had fun thinking of them.

Here are some of the ones we came up with:

• Maybe next year....
• Stomach hurts
• "Hey, I resemble that remark"
• It's "text," NOT texted
• Non-Texterbacker
• Put it on twitter!
• Just GOOGLE it
• Don't use a calculator, just call Christi
• I knoooooow!
• What did you doooo?
• That dirty rat!
• Did somebody say Wallbangers?

I know there are some I'm leaving out right now. He kept my little notes we had taken! We should have also put "Do you know how long it took me to get my hair to look like this?" or something like that........

ANY PHRASE YOU WOULD ADD?

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Our little Allyson Skyla is growing. This year she turned 7. Since now we have our comfy home, we did her a birthday party here. She went with the Spongebob theme. Since Spongebob lives under the sea, we went with a pool/slide/wet party.

Ally had a great turn out and she had a blast. I love parties but I hate the way I stress out. After all those "What if's" it was ALL worth it. Thank God my sister & mother in law helped the way they did. Of course, my baby did all the cooking of the Krabby Patties.

Whether you were planning to get wet or not that afternoon, YOU did get at least a little wet. We had water guns, water balloons, etc. Not to mention, after I would get off the water slide, I would go hug someone who was dry.

Sky received many wonderful gifts and she's very grateful. Thank you everyone :)

NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT buy Allyson a pinata next year. She did not even want to take ONE swing @ SpongeBob.

March '09 Live Stock Show Carnival Nite

We laughed so much when the girls, Allyson & Hailey tried crossing the end of this ride. She's gonna kill me for putting this vid, but I had to.

Skyla did a lot better the 2nd time around :)

H1N1 (Swine)

By far, this darn Swine Flu thing has been one of the most freakiest things I'm having to live through. Most of these things I've heard only through movies, TV shows, or in other countries! I'm chosing not to be scared of it, but I am still taking any precautions I can take, like washing my hands every 30 seconds. (Kidding) I feel like Jack Nickolson in "As Good As It Gets." He was always washing his hands and would try to be extra sanitary.

I work at a health clinic and some of our staff are wearing the masks. When I walk through those areas, I feel I have to hold my breath!

SBCISD and several surrounding school districts have cancelled classes for this week. Mexico on the other had has closed down restaurants, stores, etc. Anyways, just had to blog so I wouldn't forget....

Hand sanitizers rule!

Miss Blogging

Lately my time has been spent with our children, hubby, work, house stuff, and of course NEW MOON. I have several ways of accessing the book. Anyways, tonight Ally asked me when I was going to finish reading the book. (I promise, I don't read it as much as I could. I have been reading it for about 1 month or so.) She asked me because she wants me to spend more time with her. I told her I would always stop reading for her.

The funny part was when I asked her "Mama, what if when I finish the book, I turn into a vampire?" Oh, she gave me this funny scary look. I pretended to go for her neck, as to bite her. She pulled away and seriously got creeped out.

Afterwards, I laid down to watch the Parent Trap with her. When daddy attempted to turn off the light in her room a little later, she begged him not to. I had to explain to him why. Now she doesn't want me to kiss her. I think it's funny. But maybe I shouldn't scare her that way.

I hope to be blogging more often. I have things to BLOG about!

P.S. I really have to send a shout out to all my Twilight friends, LOL.  BTW, thanks so much @digiSal for the hook ups :)

Shake it, Shake it....

I've been staying behind with blogging!!! So here's a quick one.

My little prince is now 2 years, 6 months, and 7 days. I think he was getting a little to old to wear pampers. This past Monday we began potty training him. With the help of his babysitter. He has been doing great. He only had big accidents the first day. His second day was better and by now, he's doing great!

The only little flaw is that he prefers to poop in his chonies :-/

Oh, and I'm getting ready to invent something for the little water fountain. His little thing goes up and the "chorito" goes out of the toilet!! He's being taught sitting down for right now, later he can do the shake shake thing. I welcome any potty training tips :)

Will post pics when I have more time.
