Volunteer Punishment

3 games of softball, one yoga class later and my poor muscles are angry.
Not just tired but angry.

Luckily the memory of these classes wears off before the week is through or I'd never make it back.

I'm just happy I turned down the opportunity to play two games of laser tag tonight, I don't think I would have made it.

Funny Lady

Conversations with my Mom lately have revolved mainly around pregnancy and she keeps giving me these handy tips. Last nights was my favorite and Brad and I are still chuckling about it.

"Ultrasounds are great for finding Submarines, that's what they were designed for"

She read an article by a doctor who doesn't thing ultrasounds are awesome for the baby, regular ones are fine but forget the unnecessary 3-D ones, which I hadn't been planning on getting anyway.

She's a funny lady.

Can't Wait

I was driving home earlier this week and I got so excited! I couldn't wait until I could go to work and tell my co-worker: "guess what happens on such and such a day?! I'm gonna be a daddy!"

That will be a good day.

BW

You know that feeling you get after you've had a nap for just a little too long? You feel a little stuck between asleep and awake, that's the way I've been feeling lately.

I'd done a pretty good job of not letting myself get too excited about the idea of being pregnant until this started.

So I took a pregnancy test, and it was negative and I was disappointed. Not convinced, I took another the next morning, and again it was negative. Even more disappointed.

So now we wait a couple days until things sort themselves out and then we'll see.

Hoping to not be disappointed a third time.

Deny Everything

I've been sick the last couple days, the kind of sick where you do nothing but lie on the couch and watch tv. The kind where you'd like to read a book but you're too exhausted to hold your arms up. So I watched tv. One of the shows I caught is new this season, Fringe. A little gross to begin with as people's faces sort of melt off but it's definitely the new X-files and I think I love it.

If you ever loved X-files you should check it out.

Lessons Learned from Yoga

I hate yoga

Okay, so maybe I don’t hate it but it was harder than I had hoped it would be. It made me sweaty which I honestly didn't expect. My arms and legs feel slightly gelatinous and I'm not very stretchy. I'm not quitting just complaining, and I'm not doing that pose with the foot all raised behind, it's not happening.

HEATHER WELLS ROCKS!

"Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two – and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student form heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.

The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls… and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen – not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where the lives – even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!

But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong… "

I asked for a fluffy book so I suppose I've brought it on myself, but I think the chances of me liking this book are slim to none. Wish me luck.

Me??

I signed up for a yoga class. Me, the girl who never works out.
I'm a little worried about it and not sure why I signed up but Suzanne was convincing.

Starting next week for the next 6 Mondays I'll be bending and stretching.
I'm sure there will be stories to follow.

Relaxing

This weekend was full of friends, sleeping in and yummy food… just the way I like them.

We managed to arrange the summer so that we had no plans on long weekends and it was perfect that way. We thought we might go on a hike on Monday but the threats of rain left us camped out inside instead enjoying the day off.

What's better than sleeping in, a French toast breakfast and then an afternoon of shopping?

I hope your long weekend was just as great.

Miscellaneous Part II

A computer virus makes for a late night. Brad laptop somehow picked up a virus and there was lots of stress as we tried to remove it… we think the deed is done but time will tell.

I'm super competitive. I know this, I'm upfront about it and I really try to be a good sport and a gracious loser but don't be surprised if I cackle happily at my win.

That's all for today… perhaps the next post will be more inspired and entertaining.
