Have you ever had such a busy weekend that you say, I need a vacation!!- that just wasn’t long enough and I had no time to rest!? Well folks… I’m going to get my wish! I’m going on Vacation tomorrow! YEA! Not before putting in some major work today on a busy busy day…

This weekend I feel like I didn’t stop. We went to the mall- what a nightmare that was! I get a little anxious in crowds sometimes and people down here in S. FL are SOOOO RUDE! Much more then any other place I’ve ever been. It’s a huge mall too, always busy. We had lunch out at a resturant (because the foodcourt was a ZOO), which never happens, we’re poor! (we had a gift certificate lol) Well, we did rest for a little to watch 2 of the “Left Behind” series movies with Kirk Cameron. Then… we set up the Christmas stuff!! EARLY I KNOW! But C wanted to set it up this weekend so it would already be set up when we returned from our vacation. We usually set it up right after Thanksgiving or Dec 1st, and we wont be getting home until Dec 2nd, a Tuesday, so most likely wouldn’t set it up til the next weekend. So, I humored him and agreed to set everything up. And I’m glad I did becuase it did put me in a rather cheery mood!  So that was all just Saturday! Sunday I was slow moving because I couldn’t sleep Saturday night. We stayed up way too late setting up the decorations and I was up early as usual. We had to finish setting up the decorations we didn’t get a chance the night before. Then I painted the dresser knobs!! What a process. First I had to paint them white, 2 coats. And then I practiced what I was going to paint on paper before I tried it on the knobs. It’s for the babys room so I was painting within our Frog and Duck theme. I thought about doing some butterflies and dragonflies too, but I was having fun with the frogs so I did 4 frogs and 4 ducks… to actually paint on the knobs it took me 4 hours!! that is not including all that prep time! Crazy. But I think they turned out rather well if I do say so myself!!

After the painting and brief break, I had to go to the store and then I tried to pack after dinner. I pulled out all my winter clothes about a month ago to see what would fit me over my pregnant belly! Well, it has grown conciderably since then so I had to re-try everything on and I could only fit into 1/2 of what I previously took out!! fun stuff… so instead of having things to chose from, I have just enough to last me the 8 days we’ll be in Michigan! And that includes the dress clothes I wear to work lol so i can’t be casual the whole time… owell… And that was my weekend, it’s usually not so event filled, and that was after a busy busy week. Normally during the week I dont do much after work, but Tues-Thurs I wasn’t home at night. I’m just glad I have the next week off work! It will be SOOO NICE!

 

(pictures coming soon)

I am a BIG FATSO today! so not only did i finish my piece of cheesecake… one of my co-workers brought me back a frosty from Wendys!! My stomach feels like it’s stretched to the max, not to mention the big sugar rush I’m going to get in a bit… haha. (PS don’t forget Im pregnant, its the baby craving this stuff, I swear! hahaha)

Let me explain the cheesecake though, because maybe it won’t be as bad as it seems to me… My boss brought me back a piece of cheesecake from the lunch she went on, on Wednesday. it was from Champp’s Have you ever eaten their dessert?? They are HUGE pieces of cake! So it took me 3 days to finish it off… I ate a lot of it on Wednesday, had almost the rest on Thursday and just polished it off today. So when you think about it, it’s not THAT bad, right?? I think I’m just trying to make myself feel better here LOL.  I think the deliciousness of it is making me feel guilty. Because you know everything that is REALLY good, is always REALLY bad for you!  Here is the description:

Turtle Cheesecake
A slice of rich New York cheesecake topped with chopped pecans, whipped cream and dripping with decadent caramel and fudge sauces.

They didnt have a picture of it on their website, but i found one somewhat similar, but the size of the one I had is at least twice as big…if not 3 times…

 

Is your mouth watering???

First off… It’s A GIRL!!! I’m just excited to know! I hate not knowing things lol. I would have really been happy either way, but I am excited that my instincts were right! And 2nd, daddy felt the baby kick for the first time today! so exciting! I’ve been able to feel her for weeks now, just little flutters, but this week I could tell they were getting stronger. I held his hand up to my belly where I felt her, and he got impatient and didn’t feel anything. She was playing games with him I think! haha. Then i laid on my side and I could feel her again in a different spot, so we tried again. The first time it was just past where his fingers were so he didn’t feel anything, then wham! a good strong kick right where his hand was lol. So cute!

I think I’m invisible today… or maybe I just want to be. Already having one of those days, rollover from the day before. Usually once I go to bed and wake up everything starts new and refreshed, unless it’s something major bothering me… but seriously, driving into work today people were acting like I wasn’t even there. They would switch lanes, cutting me off and almost running right into me, like I wasn’t there! I mean, people drive like maniacs down here, but I guess I just ran into too many of them all at once this morning and it kind of irritated me. i have a feeling it’s just going to be a “blah” day today… I hope no one bothers me! Too bad I can’t go back to bed.

sorry to be depressing today, probably not too exciting to read! but sometimes you just have to get things off your chest!…

I’m so excited, it’s so nice to have great friends! My friend Ria gave me some of her “fat clothes” as she calls them when my baby bump was beginning to show and I couldn’t fit into my regular work pants. But now I have outgrown those! And I got a whole bunch of maternity clothes today! They are SO expensive btw. I went shopping this weekend to pick up a few things, spent a ton! and it was really hard to do because my husband just got laid off!! But I didn’t fit into anything so I had to! So these new clothes will really come in handy. YEA!

She gave me a really nice dress that will be great for the holidays, its red with a black overlay. And then 2 pair of work pants, black and gray, 2 casual capris, about 6 shirts- including one really great one that is black/white/gray striped its my favorite- and she gave me 3 long skirts-brown black and gray, that aren’t maternity, but if you pull them up over the belly they fit lol skirts are actually pretty great.

anyone else want to donate to the poor, send clothes my way! LOL
