The record so far in one night, not including going pee right before bed and right when I wake up, is 4 times. No wonder I haven't had a decent night's sleep in awhile.

Countdown to September 30th
How cool it was to see the heartbeat this morning! I can't believe there's actually something in me right now and I'm almost 10 weeks.

Because It's a Wednesday
mmm...carrot is my fav.
with a glass of milk, of course.
and yes, the frosting tastes as good as it looks.

Determine Your Home Decor Taste
I redid the quiz online to determine what my home design style is. I didn't feel like it reflected me appropriately. I think these results are more accurate.
46% Modern Elegance
31% Cottage Chic
23% French Eclectic
Take yours here.

Monday Morning Projects
It is a sweat-pants-wearin, tea-sippin, IndiaArie-listenin, and haven't-brushed-my-teeth-yet Monday morning for me. I am making cards and organizing my closet. It's chilly outside and I'd rather be in than out running my errands.
What are you up to this morning?Monday, February 16, 2009
Recent Pics
I'm (hopefully) getting over a sickness that I've had for over a week now, so that's my excuse for not blogging lately. Instead, for your enjoyment, here's the recent photos off my camera.
In sequential order...
Picture taken before pregnancy was confirmed at Dr.'s office.
I gave Marlow his summer cut last week. Here's the "before."
And "after."
Samoas, Thin Mints, Tagalongs, oh my!

Nap Regulation
I got up early today and went to the gym. We learned that spouses get a free membership at AMD's gym, so I'm definitely taking advantage of that. It is brand new and big and I saw only three other people there today. I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes and did the elliptical for 30 minutes. I attempted to do some kind of ab machine but almost injured myself, so I stopped. I picked up a flyer on the way out that has a contact number so I can get a complimentary fitness exam.
Afterwards, I went home, took a shower, and worked for a few hours this morning. Then I ran some errands and came home and went to bed. I feel useless, requiring a 2-3 hour nap everyday. I feel like I'm wasting the day away and like I haven't accomplished much.
Tonight my old boss is taking out Chris and I for dinner to La Traviatta. We rarely go out to eat, so this is really a treat for us. Although, I do have to say that I've discovered food doesn't taste nearly as good anymore without wine. It just brings every element of taste to a whole new level. I can do without it for 8 months though.

Humor Gone Bad
"After testing, I was diagnosed with a uterine parasite."
That's the status I put on my Facebook profile, and in turn, got lots of concerned responses. My odd humor always gets me in trouble. I'll say it in another way.
I am pregnant.

A Few Quirks
I am a bit obsessive when it comes to organization and cleanliness.
- In my closet, my clothes are hung according to their color and season--like at Goodwill. As of this year, I switched all of my hangers backwards to hang from the inside instead of the outside. When I wear an item, I switch the hanger to the 'correct' side of the rod to show what was worn. After so many months, the idea is to clear out what I haven't used.
- When at other peoples' houses and using their restroom, I ALWAYS dry my hands with the backside of the hand towel, not the front. I feel like it's cleaner and less germy.
- I'm a hand sanitizer junkie.
- I have an OCD behavior that I'm trying to fix. When driving or watching TV, I'll subconsciously see a word or number and begin writing it with my right forefinger over and over. Minutes or miles will pass and I'll notice it and remember that McDonald's sign or 800 number that caused me to start writing. Weird, I know.

And 20 Makes 29
Chris had a birthday today. He is 29 years old. We celebrated by hosting a Game Night/Banana Split Party--two of Chris's favorite things. 20 people came. I did a little decorating and found some photos of him as a youngster. A few of the fellas are still here playing Risk.

At Last
...Because it's now ingrained in my head after hearing it so many times and watching President Obama and the First Lady dance is so many times. What a gorgeous dress though, huh?
At last I am living my dream job. I would have never expected business to pick up so well and so quickly upon my return from vacation. Several opportunities were put in my lap with no marketing or referral--amazing! I've picked up a family for whom I cook for in their home during the week. They prefer to pay for the grocery bill and my time separately, which is not how I typically do my pricing, but it works really well for them and they are by far my favorite client. I get to work in a top-notch kitchen, buy amazing products to work with, sip vino with the Mrs. as she watches and talks to me, and feed and serve their whole family. Love it. I couldn't be happier. I never thought I would enjoy working as much as I do. What a blessing from the Lord.
