Stuff And Things And Such

Posted on by

I woke up this morning to Daniel saying, “Can we go to IHOP for breakfast?” And of course all I heard was, “How about we have pancakes this morning that neither of us have to cook?” Needless to say, he didn’t have to ask me twice. After breakfast we did our  grocery shopping nice and early and during a quick trip to BJs to get diapers for MM we somehow accidentally totally on purpose bought a Wii Fit. Have I mentioned my lack of will power?

Anyway, will power or no, this thing is awesome. I was really impressed with, um everything, the best of it being that I totally kicked Dan’s ass in Wii Yoga, even while pregnant and practically waddling. Nothing beats that. I look forward to being not pregnant so that I can try some of the more aerobic bendy exercises that I made the executive decision to avoid for now. Not to mention when I’m not pregnant I’ll have an adorable little baby to play with. And won’t get to sleep for like half a year… but I swear it’ll still be awesome.

Also awesome is that Dan told me a couple days ago to think about vacations because if this fall comes and we can afford it, he wants to take a weekend trip somewhere. Again with the not having to ask me twice. I’m eying a small trip to Vermont now. Sweet. Even if it doesn’t happen, I’m weird and enjoy planning things like that. But depending on how well we save our money, etc. it is possible. Time will tell?

Tonight is the legendary GAME NIGHT with means homemade pizza, this delicious dessert that I’m planning to whip up and fun times with good friends. Playing Wii Fit now no doubt, nevermind all the other awesome goodies that my bestie is bringing over. Then tomorrow we’re going to church and laying low probably, since we just spent all that money on our new Wii Fit. Oh did I say church? Yeah we do that now. I’ll tell you more about it sometime, but for now I’ll just say it’s a Unitarian Universalist church and we love it. La La La…

I guess that’s all for now. I’m starting to feel kind of huge and awkward (you know because I’m huge and awkward), but mentally I’m feeling better about the pregnancy now than I have since we concieved. It finally feels real and good to me most of the time instead of doomed to fail and terrifiyng. It’s an improvement to say the least. Alright, I’m gonna go get a snack now. Have a great weekend!

Best Of The Best

Lori @ Building Our Nest came up with this great idea of a “best of” awards show kind of post. It looked so fun, I had to play along. So without further ado, the awards go to…

Best place online to waste time: I think I waste more time on Facebook than anywhere else, but recognition must be given to my Google RSS feed (where I read all your blogs) and GoodReads.com where I plan all my future reads.

Best online purchase I’ve made recently: Without a doubt, it would have to be my new Canon Powershot digital camera – I am absolutely in love with it! :)

Best place to go when your husband gets home from work and you need a break: The only place I tend to go in this situation is the grocery store, usually Trader Joes and it is indeed a welcome relief.

Best reason to invite someone over to your house for dinner: Is there ever a bad reason? We have “Game Night” here once a month and have a handful of our friends over for dinner, games and general socializing. Always a good time!

Best thing my son has said recently: My son likes to play pretend and lately his favorite thing to do is assign “roles” to each member of the family. Sometimes he’ll tell me that I’m daddy or grammy or himself. Other times we act out scenes from a tv show or movie, his favorite being Madagascar. So anyway, a few weeks ago he told me that I was Alex and he was Marty (which was so exciting because I never get to be Alex – it’s his favorite – and I usually have to be Melman, the giraffe). And then just as I’m getting excited, he says, “Hey Alex, wanna bite my butt?” And of course I cracked up (it’s part of the movie, if you haven’t seen it – Alex is the lion and Marty is the zebra and Alex does indeed bite Marty’s butt at one point in the movie and it’s this whole thing…) and then was like, “He only let me be Alex so that he could arrange that whole scene. The little stink.” And I was so right, because he’s never let me be Alex since. Maybe I did a bad job?

Best place to eat out with kids: We love going to Applebees and always enjoy bringing MM there. For lower cost fare, Wendy’s can’t be beat.

Best news I’ve gotten recently: Um could any news be better than, “You’re having a girl!” Of course if I were having a boy I’d be saying the same thing, point is, finding out the gender was a huge thing this week.

Best way to show you care: I have to agree with Lori, getting a hand written card is always nice. Sometimes a phone call that’s unexpected is also nice, or even dropping in just to say hi. It all boils down to reaching out to say hello when you weren’t expected to.

Best reason to blog: Because you have something to say. Simple as that. :)

Best way to end a blog post: I like to end my posts in a question, like…

What would your best of the best be? Fill this out on your own blog and join in on the fun!
