Puppy Love

This Saturday we are probably going to go look at puppy Golden Doodles. LOOK being the key word. As much as I would love to bring home a new puppy, the rational side of my brain snaps into gear and brings me back to reality. A puppy and baby at the same time? Maybe not a good idea.

(I had this breed picked out long before there was even talk of the First Dog..... Maybe we could have a puppy play date with Sasha and Malia)

If you have a dog and a baby, which came first? The dog or the baby?

I guess this does it for some guys…..

Last night, MM and I were having a great time at Starbucks, talking about everything from work to jewelry to pregnancy… until the creepy dude next to us started listening to our conversation. He then became obsessed with my pregnancy… wanting to know everything about these past couple months. Some of the best lines were:

- “So, do you just eat a ton?”
- “Do you drink, like do shots drink?”
- “Do you smoke? I have friends who are super smart and their moms smoked all the time when they were pregnant.”
- “How can you not find out the sex? You can do that?”
- “What do you think you are going to have? I think it is a boy.”
- “Like, you could have the baby right here in Starbucks”
- “Come March, I am going to think about the chick that I met in Starbucks and wonder how she is doing…”
- “The doctor said the head is where?”

I am surprised that he did not reach out and touch my stomach. Maybe be had a fetish for knocked up girls. Or maybe he was just feeling guilty because he said that he had to fire a pregnant woman at work the next day. Either way – creepy, yet slightly flattering and funny!

Martha Stewart vs. Mrs.Preppy

A Martha Stewart employee recently tipped off Gawker with a sneak peak inside their new offices. The domestic goddess would HATE my office.



I need stuff for my walls... the drab grey gets old after about 5 minutes.

She strikes again

We pass each other in the lobby and she stops and points at my stomach and starts laughing like a hyena. "Oh my gosh, you are huge!"

Someone else came to my defense and said that it was not too nice to make fun of the pregnant woman. And I agree. Not nice at all. I just ignored her.

You will be mine

I have mentioned how I am not going to purchase anymore maternity clothes. I am soo over them. That being said, I am now allowing myself to look at normal clothes and I love this dress.




It will be mine.



But the dilemma is -- what size to get? Do I purchase it in my pre baby size or go up a size or 2, then get it altered once I get back to a normal size?



It could be a goal dress -- I could wear it this summer when Baby M is baptised!

The dress is Ann Taylor Loft. Anyone seen any coupons floating around?

25 Things

1. I sometimes add things to my to-do list just so I can cross them off.


2. I hate to give gift cards as gifts, but sometimes there is no other option.


3. It drives me crazy when people do not know how to properly use me/I and they’re/there/their. I correct them in my head… and sometimes out loud.


4. I can fall asleep almost anywhere, but when I am going to bed I want it to be completely dark.


5. I even went as far as covering up the lights on serge protectors in my dorm room.


6. One of my best friends was at the hospital the day I was born. I was in her wedding on my 21st birthday and there is a possibility Baby M will be born on her daughter’s birthday.


7. I worked at a tanning salon in college and was flashed by some freak my first day on the job…. The cops wanted to know if he had any distinguishing characteristics.


8. As a result of this job, I looked like a brown kangaroo freak.


9. I have formed a best friendship with someone over shoes. Pink suede loafers to be exact.


10. I can spend hours out in the sun working on my tan.


11. Because of 7, 8, and 10 I already use anti wrinkle cream.


12. I wanted to come home from college every day my freshman year.... my parents told me they would not pick me up from the airport. I stayed and ended up loving it.


13. I accidentally drank my friend’s husband’s contacts. There is a good explanation for this – bachelorette party.


14. I did some things in college that I could have been kicked out of school for.


15. I have always wanted twin boys. Maybe next time… this time, there is only 1.


16. I am deathly allergic to shellfish and once thought I was going to die in Chuy’s. (they accidentally served me shrimp tacos)


17. I met my other best friend on the first day of college. We ended up being college roomies, lived together after college and worked together. Plus, I introduced her to her now husband and she did the same for me.


18. If I could only choose 2 items of makeup for the rest of my life, I would choose mascara and lipgloss. And concealer. So, make that 3 items.


19. When the baby is born, I do not want pictures taken unless I have on mascara, lip gloss and concealer.


20. I am obsessed with my hair and will purchase almost product that promises to give me sleek, shiny and luxurious locks.


21. The year after I got married I cut off a total of 15 inches from my hair. I donated it to Locks of Love, but I am ready for it to be long again.


22. I once had a hard core addiction to Diet Coke, but then I gave it up because it gave me awful heart burn. I was clean and sober for about 3 years. I am back on the wagon and I love it.


23. I decide whether or not I like a celebrity by their fun factor. Would they be fun to share a pitcher of margaritas with? The leaders of this list are Jen Aniston, Heidi Klum, Neil Patrick Harris and Justin Timberlake.


24. I think I could go all winter without ever turning on the heat in our house.


25. I cannot tell you the dates things occurred, but I can always tell you what I was wearing.

I tag anyone that wants to divulge 25 things.

Life

When people show you who they are, believe them.
—Maya Angelou

Wise words from a very wise woman.

Makes sense to me. Life is easier when you can learn from the actions of others. And that is all I can say on this subject.

Hum...

Did anyone else watch the Duggar Wedding episode the other night? This is the only episode of the show I have seen…. And I think it will be my last. Whether you watched it or not, this family is uber conservative and has some very interesting views on things.

It is just like Lego’s. I think that was my favorite line of the entire episode. This is how the dad was explaining sex to his son. His 20 year old son. Hum….

How about when the soon to be Mrs. Duggar’s dad was talking to the camera explaining how he had been the authority figure over his daughter and now her husband was going to be the authority figure over her. Hum…..

Or how about having your first kiss televised on national TV? Hum…

I even noticed one of the commercial breaks featured an ad for Plan B contraceptive. Ironic.

It will be interesting to see how many more Duggar’s these people create, since they are going to follow in the footsteps of his parents.
