P.S. on a whole other note, I tried to take Jack to a restaurant on Friday with my family....
All I have to say is: Point made.
We will no longer be joining the rest of the family for restaurant outings!

Indy 500
Hola!
I just wanted to say I had the most awesome time at the Indy 500!! I totally recommend it to everyone! At least go one time then make up your mind. Don't judge it before you try it because it's lots of fun!!! Thanks to the Hakels and to them being more experienced so we weren't the yahoos waiting in the same spot for 2 hours after the race!! I had a great time and am really considering getting my own annual tickets!! Hopefully they'd be close to the Hakels!!
That's all!

What a week! (A good one this time!)
I finally have all of my wedding dress "stuff"! YAY! And thanks to Bethie, Mom and Kari for helping me dress, undress and pick out a veil!! I also emailed my flower person the pics of the flowers I want! Yay! I think for the most part I am on track...I still have to call some tent people & I still have to do the dang invitations!! That will fill up mine and my sister's weekend!! (thanks, again!)
WE ARE GOING TO THE RACE ON SUNDAY!! GO SCOTT DIXON!! I decided to root for him because he's cool and Austin (my nephew) roots for him and he won't be there so I'm kind of "representing" for him! YAY FOR THE INDY 500!!!
I'm adding people to my department at work in order to maximize our results...YAY! Today (this week actually) is going much more smoothly than last week. No one should have to work 70 hours in one week..I don't care what you do!
All in all, things are great and just keep getting better!! Thanks for all the support during these last few months...I know I am and for awhile have been "that girl" re: my wedding. You know, that girl that won't shut up about her wedding and that girl who is really annoying because all she talks about is her wedding! But this too shall pass soon enough! I am enjoying being "that girl" for now and if it annoys you, you should probably just not talk to me until August!!
Stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!

Restaurant Ramblings
So, I have this rule...actually it's mine and Jess's rule...it's about taking Jack out to restaurants to eat. We don't.
We tried and tried and tried to get him used to restaurants and to behave well but we'd always end up in the car or outside and frustrated and not able to eat, so we stopped taking Jack out to eat for a couple years (we figure). Whenever he can really listen to us (which he can now, but doesn't) and understand a little better why we have to behave where etc.. I think we will start to take him out and teach him how to behave. This sounds strange because I know and some of you know as well that Jack can listen to us now and he understands what we say. When he's threatened with time-out or going to bed, he listens. When he wants something, he listens. But no matter what I try when we're out, he won't listen! So rather than go out to eat, try to teach him the right behavior now, fail, end up frustrated and upset at him as well as him being frustrated and in trouble, we just choose not to even go there. I don't really know if he ever will behave in restaurants, but if he doesn't, he will miss out on many family/friend outings as well as get other priviledges taken away as time goes by.
I think my family thinks I'm crazy! They really try to convince me to take Jack out to restaurants to eat with them like, every week! (my parents mainly). They're trying to convince me that I need to take him out to teach him how to act while he is at a restuarant or he'll never be good there. I'm trying to convince them that I have tried that method more than a few times and failed miserably at it EVERY TIME!! I feel like maybe they don't understand because they didn't have such a bad problem with any of their kids. Yes, they had to teach them to behave in restaurants, but maybe we weren't so "strong willed" and independent.
So, I'm not trying to offend my family or friends when I say no we don't go to restaurants and it's not because of the money issue or anything like that. I have just chosen to spend positive quality time at home with Jack rather than stressful, insane time out at restaurants. Sorry if anyone is offended by it, but I'm doing what I believe to be the best choice for me and my family (& my sanity!).
On a side note, I'd just like to say that when we are in public or at someone's house Jack is very well behaved and listens to me extremely well! (the majority of the time-he's still 2!) I think the whole restaurant thing stems from Jess being ADHD and maybe that having gone down to Jack a little, but that's yet to be determined.
Anyways, here I go rambling again!
Stay tuned for more AMAZING ADVENTURES!!

What a week!
Hola!! What's new?! Here's what's new with me...
My assistant has been ill all week so I have been working 13 hour days..yay me! Oh well, I guess this must be building character in me or something right? It's not that bad...I'm going to take full advantage of her when she gets well and take off early a few days next week. Maybe I'll get some more wedding plans finalized!
I did however have time to go see the new Star Trek movie on Tuesday night...WOW! VERY GOOD MOVIE!! Jess doesn't even like Star Trek and he thought it was amazing. Very well written and very well made. Unbelievable. Probably the best movie I've seen in years! And if you are a Star Trek fan, you'll definately appreciate the old sound effects that stayed the same and seeing how the crew got together in the first place. Really cool!!!
Ok, so I just read the above paragraph and realized I am a complete DORK! But, I love being one so I guess it's ok!! I mean, I love Star Wars, Star Trek, and comic books along with super heroes too so....yeah, I guess I am! On top of that, my fiance is currently writing a comic book. I love being a dork though. It's fun! With me and Jess, Jack is gonna be VERY "cultured" to say the least!
Oh yeah, and for all you smokers out there in Fort Wayne, I found out you can smoke at Dupont Bar and Grill and at The Rusty Spur both located up off of Dupont in Leo Crossing! That was probably one of the highlights of my week! Now I don't have to go to New Haven bars to smoke and drink!
Well, that's about it for now...

Tuesday drama!
Hola!!
I am frustrated because I just got a text from my assistant not saying she wouldn't be in to work but only that she was sick all day yesterday and wasn't any better...but I think that means she's not coming in. UGGH!!! So, she got her day off yesterday and I'm supposed to get off early today & I'm not going to be able to. UGH!! Maybe I can work it to my advantage and leave early today while still working via mobile and then get off early tomorrow too!!! I think I'll try that!
Anyways...I really didn't just want to bitch, but I wanted to write something on my blog and I have not much going on other than I've been procrastinating getting my invitations done. Someone else already sent their's out and their wedding isn't until August, so now I look bad!! THANKS!! (you know who you are!)
Whatev!!
I'm gonna go work now. The guy from corporate is right next to me in Brent's office so I should probably not screw around much today. He's cool though. Not in my department so he doesn't have to be an a-hole to me!!
Well....Happy Tuesday!
