The Trickery of UPS

I'm going to absolutely lose it if my blackberry doesn't come through my office door today, tucked safely under the arm of a man wearing a brown and yellow uniform. Here's a little look at how my morning has gone:



AHHH!!!!!!!

We Won Trivia!

Last night I went with C and all the boys (I'm such a guy's girl!)to Spats on Thayer Street for trivia night. This was my first trip to trivia night and I have to say it went really well, I think I will be going back next Monday night. To start off, our team name was Vandelay Industries, and I love anyone who gets that reference!!!

We started off really strong, getting all ten questions right in the the first of five rounds. We continued to build points, lost a few in the geography and history categories, but made up for it with the pop culture/entertainment questions. There was actually a picture round where you had to name different pictures of celebrities. Lucky for us the category was "old school rappers," and my boys were killing the questions!!! So funny.

Anyway we ended up coming in first place, with a grand prize being a $25 gift card to the bar we were at!! Needless to say a round of shots was purchased, and I refrained from taking one...WORK TODAY! ugh.

And in other news, MY BLACKBERRY COMES TODAY!!!! I'll be at my desk all day waiting for UPS in a very giddy manner!

UPDATE @ 2:13 PM: Blackberry no where to be seen yet. I HATE UPS!

Pray For Noah

This morning I was reading through blogs and I came upon Noah's Road, where I read about baby Noah Whitmer. Noah was shaken by his daycare provider and stayed in the pediatric intensive care unit for months, in and out of comas, until he was finally able to return home to his loving family. However, the Whitmers are inundated with doctors appointments and therapy to make sure Noah heals as quickly and as best as possible. The level of brain damage is not yet determinable, and doctors are saying his eyesight will also be affected from the trauma. I am overcome with sadness reading about Noah's story and his parents' struggle to see him heal.

Erin Whitmer, Noah's mother, posts frequently on her blog about Noah's progress. One of her recent posts was so touching I just had to share a part of it with you:

"What matters is that instead of mourning my baby, I am drunk on this insatiable love I have for him. I am cherishing him more than I ever dreamed possible, which is amazing because before he was shaken, I loved him so much it literally made my heart ache."

The Whitmers are currently dealing with court proceedings, working with a prosecutor to bring the daycare provider to justice. A trail is set to begin some time around Noah's first birthday this November. Everyone please take some time and head over to Noah's Road to send along your thoughts and prayers to the Whitmer family. They need every bit of love they can get through this very difficult time in their lives.
