what a week...

so if i ever forget when i started working at my current job, all i have to do is remember when:

1) a young rogue trader at the second-largest French bank managed to lose 5 billion euros (7 billion USD) in the European markets...practically equivalent to the GDP of Slovenia or Qatar in case if you are trying to figure out how much 5 billion euros is worth..

2) the talented and very handsome Heath Ledger left us...i dont want to sound like a silly fan and i'm not, but my heart stops whenever a young and talented twentysomething dies unexpectedly...especially before the world got to see what he could have really done. and i dont stop think about his little girl Matilda....growing up without her father

3) AND i was hoping to add that my dear and frantically expecting friend,
carrie, gave birth to her long-awaited first child....but alas, her little one has decided that mommy's belly is the place to hang out...for now.....maybe next week! when is the next full moon? i used to think it was an old wives' tale....but i'm a believer now!

what a week....

omg, i wish i had given birth this week! i guess here in california i technically have about 12 hours until the end of sunday, so it could happen. but something tells me not so much.

i'm starting to feel like i'm never going to give birth. obviously, ridiculous, but how i feel nevertheless.

come on, baby! i'm going to send you an eviction notice.
