Confessions of a Midnight Blogger

Ok, ok so maybe it's not quiet that bad. But, I do have this tendency of blogging when I really should be getting ready for bed.

It's that time when Aaron pulls out his book and happily begins to read. Unfortunately for me, I read enough at work and could think of a million other things I'd rather do. -I think I would even enjoy cleaning the bathroom rather than read before bed.

If you are one of my faithful blog readers you would know that being an English Lit major, and an Editorial Assistant equal a boycott on reading. -Well at least anything of analytical substance.

Of course, magazines, children's books, blogs, emails and an occasional Internet article do tempt my reading curiosity. But I'd say, for now --that is about it.

Yep ... I would definitely choose cleaning the bathroom over reading.

Quick Trip Home

Last weekend Aaron and I made a quick trip home to visit my family and to see some High School friends. -It definately has been too long.

While we were there we enjoyed some really great steak, potato salad and corn on the cob! It was so good.

Unfortunately my family didn't fatten me up enough and I was told I have lost some more weight since my last Doctor's visit. -However, the baby is doing great and we got to hear the heart beat for the first time. :)

At our next Doctor's visit we should be able to find out if it's a boy or a girl. Also, hopefully we'll be able to get a video of the Ultra sound.

As for work ... well one word discribes it all --Crazy. I am definately busy now and probably will be until Baby Bly comes and I get to be busy in a different way. :)

Lots and Lots of Email

So, I was correct the Deadline and the Threat-of-the-Deadline have caused mass panic and emailing. My work in-box is FULL. So, full that there are multiple pages and attachments on each email. -I love my job. :)

The Nothing

So, have you ever seen the movie The NeverEnding Story? -If so, you would know that the evil character is called The Nothing. Devouring everything in its path and leaving a large void of nothingness.

That's how I feel about this day. I work for a little bit and then ... nothing. Then I get super excited to find another small project, finish and then ... nothing. I even have volunteered to help other people with their work in order to have more small projects, but still ... nothing.

The crazy part about it all is that supposedly I should be extremely busy right now.

I have come to only one conclusion from all this nothingness ... I am just too fast and too good at my job. :)

Hopefully after the evil character called The Deadline hits on Friday. I will get a swarm of sad sorry please accept my late work calls and emails. Which I will firmly scold ... and then be elated at the opportunity to conquer The Nothing. :)

BEWARE!

Look at my husband looking so cute and innocent. Making me dinner in our now box-free kitchen.

Little do we know what mischief he's written on the fridge until we look below. :)

BEWARE! Franky is coming. :)

-By the way, to anyone not include on our little inside joke. My family has decided our baby's name is Franky. -Purely for harasement and teasing purposes. -We are not naming our baby Franky. :)

Yesterday we went out and got some really cute board books at Barnes and Noble. And also found some cute ducky clothes for newborn and 9 months. Both of them say "Mommy Loves Me."

-We are getting very excited.

Huckleberry Picking

Yesterday Aaron and I got to go Huckleberry picking with my Grandparents. It was so much fun.

We picked for about 2 1/2 hours and found lots of good berries.

I especially love going with Grandma and Grandpa because they know all the really good spots and bring their 4-wheelers so we can get back into the berries easier.

When we got home I cleaned the berries and divided them up for easy milkshake making. But the best part was having some on my cereal this morning. Delicious!











-This was Aaron's first time huckleberry picking. He enjoyed it, but isn't planning on leaving his desk job for a professional career in berry picking. Lol. :)

Memories

Come out, come out, wherever you are! Let's reminisce!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

My Favorite Books

So, my absolute favorite children's books are the Pigeon books by Mo Williams! This year they came out with The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! -Which I didn't even know about.

Aaron found it at Barnes and Noble and bought it for me! It is so great.

Now, I just have to add the Pigeon board books to our collection. That way our baby will be able to enjoy them too.

Tagged

Well, I have been tagged by Lanette. I have to list six quirks about myself, so here it goes...

1. I absolutely love to clean and organize things. I even think it's fun. -My favorite thing to clean is my car.

2. I color cordinate my closet. Yep, I do ... according to color, fabric type and shirt sleeve length. I even do it to Aaron's side of the closet when he's not looking. -That's the benefit of doing the laundry right??? -But it's not as bad as it used to be. -I don't space my hangers so much now. :)

3. I like prunes. -I love dried fruit in general, but it's true, I like prunes.

4. I brush my teeth twice. And I can't leave the house without brushing them -I just don't feel ready to go. However, if I am feeling rebelious I'll brush them just once.

5. Curious George is my absolute favorite TV show. I am always so excited to watch it while I am eatting my breakfast. George's logic is so funny to me. I love it!

6. I have a million, well, -maybe not literally, but it seems like I have a million different socks. I like the stretchy kind with all sorts of designs and pictures on them. -I am working on getting rid of this quark, and am planning on using the socks for Sock puppets. --That is when I learn to use the sewing machine I got for Christmas last year. :)

I tag Susie, Cam and Kim. Love you guys.

Moving Day

Yesterday was moving day! Aaron and I are excited to be in our new home. There is stuff EVERYWHERE. LOL. :) We are very grateful to Aaron's Dad, Kirsten, Becky, Wendy and Jared for helping out. We couldn't have done things without them.

Today was moving day part 2: in other words cleaning the old house and picking up any extra things that were left behind. We still aren't completely done, but we are close and that is exciting.

Now, if there was only more time to organize the new house. :) -I can always wish right. :)
