Drum Roll, Please...

You are now reading the blog of the Assistant Stockroom Manager/Shipper-Receiver at the University Village Pottery Barn Kids! Yay! I found out Sunday night and am still pretty excited. My first grown-up job: 40hrs/wk; full benefits including paid vacations and holidays; a set schedule; tuition reimbursement; and a 401K plan!!! These next few days (Thurs-Sat) are my last days on the sales floor and I am hoping that I'm not too antsy to get back to the stockroom. I'll probably be too excited and the days will fly like always, anyhow. I start my new position next Thursday, and will be full-time at PBK beginning-mid February. And then my mom is coming for a visit and my schedule will again be disrupted, so I'm probably not going to have a normal work week until the end of February. Oh, well...

In other news, my reading is slightly behind schedule, as I became violently ill this past Sunday. It was definately the burrito from Taco del Mar that caused all the turmoil Sunday night. Yuck. I am feeling much better now, though am still subsisting on Vernor's and a few solid foods. I am, however, almost finished with Norris' Amazing Grace and am trying to determine out my next read: either Kingsolver's The Poisonwood Bible or a Jodi Picoult book...we'll see.

Ella is doing well and rapidly approaching her fourth month on February 9th! Yay, Ella! I've spotted two little white dots in the center of her bottom gums, thus explaining all the sucking on her fist/hand/my finger/toys, etc. that she's been doing. I bought her an Infantino teething toy at work last week and she LOVES it. It's one of those ones you can put in the fridge so it's nice and cool on baby's gums. She looks so funny when she's gnawing on it! I'm thinking of picking up another teether at work, as Chad and Jina will probably need a back-up in the months to come. Ella is also doing better with the bottle this week, which made my days a little quieter, to say the least. That girl has got a good set of lungs on her and a whole load of opinions to go with them! Jina and I joke about how Ella may end up being somewhat sassy when she's older. Too funny!
