any bets?

What do you think our boy will look like?

friday fun

Provided I'm not in labor, we're going to see "Quantum of Solace" the new James Bond movie tonight. If the weather was a touch cooler (like it's supposed to be later this weekend) I'd wear one of these pretties...
find them here

occupy my mind

I'm trying to keep my mind OFF of the fact that my boy remains in my belly today. Tomorrow is the full moon. Maybe he'll come then. He's not due until Sunday though-- don't you DARE post in my comments that first babies are usually late. I don't think I can bear to hear it again! ;o)

But to pass the time I was looking at some sites and found this cute idea.

A BIG thanks to all of you guys who ordered custom Christmas cards from me this year. I'm sending them out to you today if you don't live in Dallas. I hope you're happy with the finished product. I'm also getting started on a 2008 Christmas music playlist and I'll try to post that later (after Thanksgiving because thats just the way it should be)!

Meanwhile- I wait.

spraying on the pimp juice

The other day in the grocery store I witnessed yet another mind boggling scenario which I TOTALLY forgot to tell you all about. Then today I saw this on Bakerella and it sparked my memory so here we go.

First, I think this is a really neat idea. No, not spices... beaches.

So as I said before, reading that little post of hers about sprinkles reminded me of this which I posted a WHILE back about the girl eating the jar of sprinkles. Now you see where I'm going? This brings us to last week where I was again shopping the aisles of our local Kroger.

As I debated the deodorant options for my husband (who has the most sensitive armpits this side of the mississippi) A man walked up, grabbed a bottle of AXE Body Spray or some equally potent man perfume and proceeded to spritz himself, not a couple, (as if that would have been ok) but at LEAST 20 times from head to toe. He then casually placed the bottle right back on the shelf where he found it and went on his way.

Now, I ask you... with a saleswoman standing not 2 feet away and me right beside witnessing the whole drama unfold, what posesses someone to use a product (vigorously) and then return it to the shelf as though it never happened? Did he get sweaty in the supermarket aisles and need to freshen up? Was he going on a date post grocery trip? Maybe he was "sampling" like they do at Costco.

As I approached the check out I noticed that this man was standing two lanes over from me. I could smell him people. I could. From no less than 6 feet away.

Help me understand.

dessert alert

Seriously the best dessert hands down! If you live in Dallas and can ... go to La Duni and order it. Prove me wrong. Go ahead-- try.

I think Chris and I will go get a piece this weekend. Really, he told me we could!

Anniversary

AND I totally forgot but meant to say Happy 2nd Anniversary yesterday to these two goons. How about a wedding anniversary on election day? So romantic!

Things

Some things to discuss...

1. NO BABY YET.  Thank the Lord for stretchy pants.

2. I have NOT cut my hair but I still plan to after the baby comes. I think I'll want a change once I start losing some poundage and getting back to "normal" (as if my previous knowledge of normal will ever exist again). Don't laugh, I KNOW my life is about to turn upside down but that doesn't mean I can't attempt to have a cute haircut and make myself feel a little better right? 

3. The president-elect. I think I knew it would happen. I think we should all just pray like we have in the past. Pray that he will be open to the Lord's voice and guidance in how to manage our country. We serve a God capable of anything and whatever the next 4 years bring, He is ultimately still in control. I'm so glad I can rest in that.

I also realized this year that when I cast my vote it wasn't about me as much as the little mister in my belly. Pretty sure that's how everything is going to go soon huh?

4. I'm missing my 10 year class reunion this weekend.

5. I'm mad that Alabama is now in the #1 spot on the college football polls. Simply unfortunate.

6. Shout out if your feet grew when you had a baby!! Mine have. Some people say they go back to normal. I'm kind of hoping that mine do but also a TINY bit of me wouldn't entirely mind being FORCED to buy all new shoes ;o)

ok enough... I hope everyone has a good evening. I'm off to eat some pasta with my family and enjoy the cool fall night!
