Seriously?

Hello all, its time for another edition of "weird things I see at Kroger's"...



Take a good look at the girl on the right. I imagine this how their conversation went....


Bad friend- Hey, you know what would cool?

Wanna Be Fashionista- What's that?

Bad Friend- If we took your jeans, cut off the legs right under your butt, and then you wore the pant legs as leg warmers... A la Flashdance!

Wanna Be- Awesome! I'll wear the cut offs with the pant legs and go for the whole denim look! Thanks for being a great friend!

Bad Friend (thought to herself)- great, now all the boys will think she's an idiot and wanna hook up with me instead!


Seriously! She walked around the store pulling her makeshift leggings up because they kept sliding down. Maybe she was trying to beat the Texas heat by creating her own ventilation system?!?!

Sorry the picture isn't better. I was trying to be sneaky with my camera phone. I was afraid if she caught me she would think she was on to something and this sad trend would spread!

Condiment Gun?

Food Fight anyone?

Saturdays Five Things

Ok- So, I've been on an extended hiatus for quite some time. Long story short- lost a job, found a job, getting ready for baby.

I've been playing the "what are you greatful for" game with my family all week, so I'm coming back with Fridays Five Things... Yes... I know it's Saturday.

1. Maternatity underwear. Don't knock 'em till you try 'em.

2. Ross. Awesome baby clothes at crazy low prices.

3. My husband. He cooks spagetti, lays tile and builds nursery furinture.

4. My mom. If you knew her, you would know why.

5. My sister... See above note about Mom.

That's all for now. I'll make an effort to keep more up to date... No promises!

Snow Day!!!

Smores...

Ok... so... I have never had smores. Not that I can remember anyway. It seems like every child should have had smores around the campfire (I've certainly been around a few of those), but I couldn't remember eating them.

Therefore, yesterday I stopped at my neighborhood Kroger's and picked up all the smore essentials (and some pickles... but that's really a pregnant thing and nothing to do with smore making). I waited for the sun to go down and the cold air to come through. Husband made me a handy little marshmallow roaster out of a stick and I was good to go.

My first few marshmallows caught fire and were therefore deemed unfit for smore use. When I finally toasted one to perfection, I placed it on the chocolate and graham cracker and took a big bite....

My expectations were much higher. Maybe it's one of those weird pregnancy things where things don't taste like they should, maybe it was the wood we were using in the fire... either way, I was not impressed by the smore phenomenon and I'm a little baffled at it's longevity.

Maybe I'll try again later, with different wood and different chocolate. My roommate says that the Hershey's Cookies and Cream candy bar is the way to go. I certainly have enough marshmallows left over to try.

Cute as a pencil troll???

First of all, I would like to say that whatever JACKASS decided to tell pregnant women that the nasuea goes away after twelve weeks, should be shot in the foot!

On to my story....

Last night I was laying on the couch watching Law and Order:SVU and feeling horribly sick.

My loving husband was outside in the garage, playing with friends, drinking beer and arguing about politics. He came in to refresh his beverage and our conversation went something like this:

Husband: Oh dearest wife, is my child in your belly making you sick again?

Me: What do you think?

H: I'm sorry you're sick.

M: I know.

H: If it helps at all, you are very cute lying there.

M: Really? (insert kiss) You are so good to me.

H: Yep, you're as cute as a pencil troll. (He says smiling).

M: Excuse you? Did you just say I was "cute as a pencil troll"?

H: You know, the little trolls on the end of a pencil.

M: I know what they are. The ones with the crazy hair and the big noses. Thanks a lot!

H: Not the hair part, just the cute little face. You have a cute little face.

M: Thanks. You've done enough to cheer me up, please go back outside now.

I went to bed shortly after that (didn't stay asleep thanks to the baby). When I woke up this morning, there was my darling husband. Sleeping peacefully beside me. As he woke up, he saw me laying there awake and gave me a little kiss.

Husband: Good morning, beautiful.

Me: Good morning, pencil troll.

What do think? Look like me?

Happy (Late) Halloween

Roof, Roof! Check out the doggie!
