First Time

OK - Here it goes...
This is the first time I'm ever posting on a blog, but I guess when you have a baby you start experiencing a lot of "firsts," and I thought this would be a great place for talking about my life and an even better way to kill some time at work!

So, about me... My name is Mandy, and I turned 26 this past Saturday. I have a three month old baby, Maddy, and I've been married to Jerry for 3 years. I do PR for a company in Cleveland (to remain confidential), where I've worked for the past 2 years, and I'm also a Stampin' Up! (check out www.stampinup.com) demonstrator in my spare time. I come from a pretty close-knit family, just one younger brother (Chris) and some pretty great parents. My husband is a fifth grade teacher, who is enjoying his time off and taking care of Maddy now. We live in a pretty decent house that we built three years ago (around the time we got married) and we have a shih-tzu named Mugsy. I'll probably post about softball too, we both play a couple of times a week, as do many of my family members. That's a pretty good summary.

So, today is Monday. I hate Mondays. I have spent most of the morning surfing the Internet for the weekend's happenings and checking out some of the sites I visit routinely. I love www.msn.com for their amusing "entertainment" news and I always visit www.cnn.com for the latest "world" news. I check out our county paper's web site too, although it completely sucks (www.medina-gazette.com), but I like to know what's going on in our neighborhood. But my favorite site lately is that of my best friend, Becky. She just had twin baby girls last week and she posts pics and news about them on their web site. I've been checking out web sites to avoid doing work, but summer is our slowest time of year, so there really isn't that much to do anyhow.
