The Shoe Fits

When it snows in Flagstaff, it’s definitely the “talk of the town”. Mostly because it doesn’t happen often and when it does its Mother Nature at her worst. I wish I had photos but its too cold to go outside and I already spent hours trying to take photos of it and they weren’t coming out -_-

Well I figured I ought to have some sort of rhyme and reason to my posting so I am going to develop a “schedule”.

Monday: Web-related Stuff.. I usually veg out in front of the computer during the weekend and find something interesting or cool on the net.

Wednesday: Pregnancy stuff- since this is when I hit my week point.

Friday: Recap of Recipes I used during the week (photo heavy).

This doesn’t mean I won’t talk about other things but it at least gives me some motivation and substance to my posts. What do you all think? Have any other suggestions for me?

Question of the Day:

What’s going to be the most challenging thing you do this year?

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?

When it comes to blogging, I have my off days and on days. Obviously the last month has been on long off day. I really want to blog everyday, so I guess I’ll just have to bore you with asinine updates everyday

Otherwise, life in Thassy-land is great. I think. Nothing super bad has happened but nothing super good has happened either. I’m still broke, still taking classes (though I’m done for the rest of the summer, woohoo!) and desperately trying to stay sane.

Though, the “light” in my future now is my new diet/lifestyle change (Thanks to Caity) I decided that I am going to become a vegetarian. It’s going to be hard but I don’t think it will be all that hard. My reasons involve being healthy but also I think all this animal rights stuff is getting to me. We’ve (oh yeah, Marcus is also going vegetarian against his will) decided we’ll let ourselves splurge twice a month on chicken. Though we are going to be allowed to eat fish, for that protein (in addition to supplements). Whew, I hope this goes well. I think making this change will force me to eat healthier too. Plus I LOVE vegetables and I think I am going to have fun figuring out what kinds of new vegetables to try out.

I know this is a shorter post, but I am also posting a private post too. So registerso you can see it. I haven’t added anyone on in a long time so I hope there are no glitches. If so, let me know on twitter or email.

TTFN!

I updated my about me section which includes the basics, the love story, the interesting facts about me and also my 101 in 1001. Soo… Go check it out!
