Memorial Day
Even though it is technically not Memorial Day here anymore, I thought I would take this time to honor my uncle that died in WWII.

I obviously never knew him. And my dad was only 6 when his brother died. It makes me sad to never have met him, though. My dad's brother and sister that are still around are pretty cool.

Life is pretty boring right now. I work a lot. Last week I worked 6 days and about 50 hours. This senior assistant manager thing isn't so great. I wish I could figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, so I can find a more satisfying job.
My eczema is acting up pretty bad on my hands right now. It's not as bad as some people get it, but for me it is pretty bad. I have been putting the cream on it that my last dermatologist prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I guess I'll have to see her again.
Andrew and I are doing well. We don't get to have as much quality time as either of us would like. He works second shift right now, and I work a lot of day shifts and weekends, so its hard for us to find free time that crosses over. But I do value the time that we get to spend together :)
I try to babysit for my nephews at least once a week so I can see them and develop a relationship with them. Austin is sweet, starting to be able to have conversations. I love finding out what is in his little head. And the twins are getting bigger and bigger all the time. Being with them sometimes makes me think I want kids, but other times makes me think I don't want them for a long time. I think maybe if I don't have twins I will be all right :)
I have sold off a lot of my cel collection. I don't know how the market has changed, but I am pretty sure some of the offers I have received are horrible. But what do I know. I haven't bought a new cel in like, 2 years.
Trisha is getting married in 3 months. I threw her a bridal shower about a week ago. Everyone said they liked it, and she said it was perfect. I really hope they liked it. I am not good at the party thing. I also need to re-order my bridesmaid dress, because I have lost 25 pounds since I ordered the first one and gone down almost three dress sizes (according to their size chart). I can't wait too long to do it, or the company might not have my size... but I don't want to do it too soon, because if I lose more weight, I don't want the dress to be too big. Oh well, I will do it soon.
