So, after a hiatus (which was unintentional) I have decided to come back to the blogging world and keep up  my website. I really wanted to come back sooner, but it’s been crazy crazy! I guess the biggest thing that I haven’t announced yet is that I am pregnant. As of now, 14 weeks to be exact! woohoo! So far so good, I’ve got loads to think about and even more to plan out for. I wouldn’t say the pregnancy was a surprise (ok I wouldn’t even say it was sort of a surprise, I planned it, I’m guilty!) but it’s definitely been a journey for these beginning months and even more exciting to see the reactions of my loved ones. My mom is convinced it’s a boy (Won’t know until December) and Marcus wants a girl, while everyone in between has their own idea and hopes. As for me, I do want a boy but of course a girl would be fantastic

My first trimester was hell. I’ve never been so nauseas in my life. I was really scared that it would not go away but luckily in the last few weeks it has calmed down. I only get that bad if I don’t eat as often as I should. I think I am already showing (I don’t think my stomach poked out this much before) and I am definitely getting all the unpleasant joys of pregnancy (i.e. small bladder=embarrassing intimate time with hubby). Overall, I am enjoying myself and it’s definitely exciting every morning to see what’s changed and new with my body. I will be blogging more so for those who wanted some blow by blow details *ahem Krista* of my pregnancy, be prepared! I am not holding back!

Otherwise, I am super excited for the holidays and even MORE excited to cook. I’ve never enjoyed cooking,  but I am not sure if its the pregnancy but I want to cook ALL the time. (I never said it was good cooking….) So for TG and XMAS I am planning on cooking my little butt off. It should be new for my family! Also new is that I get to spend both TG and XMAS with my family since this is the first year in 4 that they live within 2 hours of me by car (prior they lived in Missouri…I am in Arizona…definitely not less than 2 hours away..by car)

Well that’s all I can get out of me today for bloggin, I hope I still have readers!

P.S. Anyone excited about New Moon?

So I am unusually chipper about this Monday. Why you ask? My sister is going back home (love her as I may, she is a handful), my parents are officially moved (two hours away!) and I finally get to be alone with my husband! Yah!

So, we managed to catnap my cat, Artemis. He is the love of my life! We’ve had him since he was barely able to walk straight. He has the most beautiful kitty eyes! I am definitely looking forward to snapping some photos of him. (Oh yea did I mention I lost my camera at Six Flags in June?…). We also have another kitty, Ashton. My sister conned me (it wasn’t so difficult) and he is by far the cutest little thing. I absolutely love cats and my dogs are definitely getting along with him so that’s always nice. School will be starting again and I am unsure how I feel about that. I’m excited but dreading it, yet excited because it’s one step closer to being able to teach.

Well I am at least doing better about blogging. sorta. ha.

TTFN

I never cease come up with random blog titles. Sometimes they describe my mood or sometimes I can only think of a certain phrase and so I use it.

The last two weeks have been crazy! I’m basically working 40 hours a week (really more than that). I literally get home, stay up for about 2-3 hours then go to bed. I think the earliest I’ve gone to bed is 9:30! That’s early for me! But it’s worth it, given what I am doing (camp coordinator for a girl’s camp – check out the article they wrote about us! I’m in it). It’s been great to be busy and have the weeks go by fast because I am so ready to start school again. The closer it gets the closer I am to being able to teach!

Lately, my mind has been in spacey-space land. I have forgotten things, spaced out in front of people and totally freaked out about something so random. I think that the stress of work is bearing down on me. Luckily my youngest sister goes back home this weekend so that will be one less stress. I really enjoyed my time with her though; we’ve definitely grown close again.

As of late, I’ve been thinking about the sad state of affairs regarding my friends, both online and off. I am very concerned that my lack of motivation to keep communications open will result in my being friendless. I’ve also been thinking about how I “long” (because is it really longing?) for a guy friend. As odd and possible assinine as that sounds, I’ve found that my closest friends have been males. And all those male friends have been lost in some way or another. One passed away and the other just started to be a jerk. So I wonder, if I am not meant to have close guy friends or any friends at all. It’s a depressing thought but it’s something that I have been pondering. It makes sense when I think about it but now writing about it, I feel even more confused as ever.

Well one last thing, a little rant if you will. [rant]I am getting really tired of reading the comments in news sites or blogs that are so ridiculous it makes me really doubt the state of the human condition. ARGH! [/rant]

Till Next Time.

Wow. So sorry guys! It’s been waaaaaaaaay too long! In the middle of transitioning between no school and no work to work and more school, It seems I’ve abandoned my duties as blogmaster of this here site! And actually, nothing new has really been up. Last week I was sick with sinusitis and had to take big yucky tasting antibiotic pills and sleepytime cough medicine *grins* After that I felt just peachy! I still have remnants of a cough but otherwise am feeling SOOOOOO much better. I also managed to get two part time jobs, one back in the lab I used to work in and the other working with a girl’s day camp. So, I’ll be busy this summer but definitely will be worth it for the moolah!

Anyways, my sisters are also coming to stay with me over the summer. It should be interesting and I might go a bit crazy. But it’s okay, because one of them has a car here and I can just send her on random errands or something =D Ha no but I am looking forward to it. It will definitely make Marcus’ and my house a bit less quiet. Which can be a good or bad thing, depending on how you look at it. I’ll let you know in a month.

Because of my sickness last week, I have not been eating very well as I should, though I have tried to at least incorporate more veggies and fruits in my diet. According to my scale though, I’ve lost some weight so I am hoping that starting this weekend I can at least become more active so that I don’t gain any weight until I can get my eating back on track. Ah, the life of a chick trying to lose weight. It’s an everlasting struggle it is! But it’s so frustrating!

Question of the Day: What’s your absolute worst bad habit? Mine – > I crack my knuckles and it’s actually made my knuckles larger so let’s just say that I have an interesting time with rings…
