Life is better than I could have hoped for...

So… This just happened:

I’m going to see New Moon with The Crush tomorrow night. He asked me. I said yes.

I also have a date with Subway Boy tomorrow night, which I’ll now have to move to another day.

WHO AM I? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL THAT NOBODY LIKED?

Whoa.

ed note: I actually have a post saved in my ‘draft’s’ all about how The Crush will now be referred to as The-Non-Crush-Friend as we’ve been in a good spot lately and he’s more a friend now than a crush. This stands true.

You totally should of told The-Non-Crush-Friend that you already had plans!!

I am totally stealing this idea for Colin’s Kindergarten Teacher’s Christmas Gift…

Mr. Marlon Tiggs is not feeling well again. and I am afraid that this maybe his last christmas we will be celebrating with him.

B will be devastated. This is his dog. The dog that he had when we met, the dog he shared his bed with. The dog that gets steak and ice cream for his birthday. The dog that Brian has been making Eggs and yogurt and toast and whatever else he thinks will fatten him up. Nothing seems to be working, and after speaking to the vet today- he wasn’t sure that anything would at this point.

Reason #194 why I love the season between Thanksgiving and Christmas

emphasisadded:

You can camouflage your (personal) online shopping purchases in the influx of package deliveries that are actual Christmas gifts ordered for your loved ones.

Thank goodness I am not the only one.

Thoughts on the name Amerie?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:15:43 -0500

We think it is pretty, and not too unique. My goal is to not choose a name that is in the top 100 baby names.

Amerie Grace (After my mom)

Let’s talk through this?

"Colin's too competitive"

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:23:05 -0500

says Colin’s Kindergarten teacher.

“Life isn’t about winning, but about the experience and journey” she says…

Sidenote: Colin is competitive in a sense; but its about him giving his best effort, that is what is expected (he expects this from others too), and laziness is not an option. (sounds more harsh written than said)

Hypocritical email received yesterday from his teacher:

P.S. St. Peter’s Catholic School is only half our size, we are not competitive, BUT we MUST WIN!!

Love it. No mixed messages here…

Internet Hate

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:28:00 -0500

Why waste your time? Seriously? Did you not get enough hugs or love as a child?

There are so many other better, more productive things to do with one’s time, why spew internet hate and spend additional time spreading this crap.

Get over it.

Its so annoying, and I feel sorry for the people that spend there time doing this.

Just Ordered:

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:53:46 -0500

Just surprised B with:

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:26:00 -0500

Edit: Oh no! He can’t go now… Damn working for the man!

CNN reminds you that your cell phone is probably killing you

CNN reminds you that your cell phone is probably killing you:

allthingsalishan:

Thanks CNN.

assholes.

According to CNN, everything is killing us. Microwaves, Cell Phones, Slurpees (I kid).

I would have gotten up and kicked this girl's a$%. I am in no way kidding.

I would have gotten up and kicked this girl's a$%. I am in no way kidding.:

I played soccer for a long time. Things happen on the field that people don’t see or notice (people pull, grap, punch all of the time).

I don’t play anymore due to knee issues. Let me preface this by saying I am in no way agressive or violent… But if this would have ever happend to me. Someone would have been on the ground, and it wouldn’t have been me.

Not-So-Fun Pregnancy Side Effect

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:16:05 -0500

Your feet swell. Not significantly yet- but in the last trimester your feet tend turn into straight up sausages.

I can already feel my shoes geeting a little snug.

Brian just suprised me with my birthday present....

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:44:39 -0500

So my birthday isn’t until Dec. 28 but Brian planned something extra special for my big 30th!

Each year, I get a purse for my birthday (I don’t know when the tradition started, but it did at some point along the way). But honestly, I have so many purses at this point- I never wear them all… **somehow I have been able to con him into letting me buy 2-3 a year. I have my fair share of designer bags. I love them though…

This year is different and way more awesome!

This year he booked a little getaway for just the two of us with spa days to the Ritz at Amelia Island for the 26th-27th of December…

I am super excited. I have an awesome husband.

Baby W Update

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:01:55 -0500

Little W

Heartbeat was a steady 137
Moving alot
Everything looks normal and healthy
She has a big head like the rest of us
She looks like an alien when you look at her straight on
But the most beautiful alien ever.

Erin Update:

Feeling: Great minus the sinus/ear infection that i have had for 2 weeks
Weight: Lost 2 lbs
Work Outs are scattered, but I feel good.
For the last month I traded my breakfast bagel w/cream cheese and 2 hard boiled eggs to a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and a light/fit yogurt. Still satisfying, but healthier.
Lunch is the same, cup of soup and side salad from Panera
Dinner is pretty healthy (obviously changes daily) Tonight is grilled chicken with a cucumber, tomato, greek olive and feta cheese salad

Things are going better than i hoped.

Tumblr Secret Santa: What they said!!!! So fun!

allthingsalishan:

tupelohoney:

i just signed up! sounds like a blast. one more reason to love tumblr! (as if i needed one…)

stephss715:

neonsugar:suzywire:saethis:

Currently, our count is at 123 people. This is, I think, a great response, and with 8 days remaining to enter, we should hopefully get some more.

Here’s how it works. You click on the link and you put in your details - your name, your Tumblr name, your address, and your email. When you put in your address, please remember to put in post codes, states, country etc.

On Saturday 14th November (Australian Eastern time), I am going to shut down the form, and once it’s closed then you have missed the boat. When that happens, I’ll be randomly distributing the names to people. You will receive one name - the idea is to send something to them. My advise is to keep it simple - a letter, a painting, a drawing - something small - but really, the sky is the limit. You’ll get these details sent to the email you submitted.

When the formspring is closed and you have received your email, then keep an eye on Tumblr Secret Santa - here, you will be able to send in small messages to people, as well as see what other people receive in the post.

So - enter, reblog, share, and Merry Christmas.

awesome sauce. Lets do this!

Nursery Stuff:

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:41:40 -0500

Things I have decided upon…

Nothing will be too matchy-matchy
Color will be a mix of honey dew, lemon and raspberry sherbert

That’s it for now. I have a long way to go.
