Updated, finally

Me = serious slacker.

Really. I can't blog regularly? Lame!

My birthday was nice.... we went up to the City. We walked around, shopped a bit, and went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Yummy!!!

This weekend we head up to the IL's for my belated celebration. YAY!! :)

So, I went to the Annual Hay-Hay appointment today. Woofrickin hoo! He decided, since my BP was high - 140/90 to put me on meds. So, I started Labetalol today. I am 30, for eff's sake! Yikes! Anyway, I am supposed to take 2 pills a day, and in 2 days, I go back to have my BP checked again, to see if the dosage needs to be monitored. I have already cut out almost all caffeine, and 99% of added sodium, but I guess it's not enough. Ugh. So, we'll see how this works.

I mean, since we're hoping for a Baby #2 soon, and my BP was a wee bit (lots) high while I was pregnant with Travis,I guess it's good to get things under control now rather than later. I am not sure why I didn't get put on meds then, actually.... but that's in the past. So far, I have had this bizarre tingling of my scalp, since starting the med which I read is normal, but it feels so strange.

Anyway... I will really try and be better update-wise. Tonight I am making Blue Cheese Stuffed burgers for dinner. Yummy!!

Insomnia, not sucking, and stuck in neutral.

YAWN!!!! Insomnia kicked my ass this morning. Big time!! I have been up since 4:15. Not just awake but UP! I didn't feel like taking on my lace project that early..... so instead I did something productive, and quiet. I am doing some data-entry consulting for one on Jeff's clients.... and I did about 2 hours of billable work! Wooohoo!

Hopefully with the $$ from that, and the b-day $ my dad usually kicks down.... hopefully I will be on my way to the Canon SLR camera
that I have been lusting after... and some of you lucky beotches have! Cause I got serious camera envy over here! I can take some great pictures with my Canon point-n-shoot.... don't get me wrong. But, I have a feeling, once I get my hands on that baby, the skies will open up, and SING ~ cause I am such a dork like that. Ehhh, it'll most likely be a good long while before I can upgrade, but that's okay.... Cause guess what? NOIAMNOTPREGNANTYET! But, I bought a crapload of Ovulation tests this month, and damn it! I want to be knocked up by the time I'm 30, and that's in oh..... 29 days! LOL! ;)

Anyway... back to what I was talking about...it's my car. Um, it's not working so well. Nope. Once we got back from the triple digit temps in the bay area over the weekend, it started acting all funny like. Ya know. Like, um, not acting like it was in gear. As soon as we pulled back into town. It started acting like it was stuck in neutral. And, that usually spells Tran$mi$$ion. Like, yeah. On my 2001 Dodge Neon, with 90,000 miles....with a Blue Book of, like a buck fiddy. So, we're having the mechanic look at it, and it's either the transmission, or the head gasket. Oh, and I need new front brakes, stat. Um, and tires. FUCK! So, we wait while they test shit out to see if it's even worth fixing.

As much as we don't really want another car payment.... it may be unavoidable. Plus, we really need to get a bigger vehicle before we have another little one anyway. I guess we play wait and see. Grr.

But, my consolation prize? I don't suck! Uh.... erm, well, at least not much! ;)


YAY! Thanks Leslie!!

Nope, not this time!

Pregnancy test = negative

Spotting = yes

Cramping = yes

Period = Apparantly - I am calling this CD1.... (cycle day 1 for non TTC speakers).

Also? I need chocolate!! I need coffee!! I need a maid!!

We got chosen to be a Nielsen Family... so we start diarying our t.v. watching today for a week. It's gonna be an endless parade of Disney, Food Network, and Planet Earth! LOL!

Waiting....

Well, I either am having implantation bleeding, or my period is about to start...oh about 6 days early. Either one would explain my lack of energy, stomach sensitivity, and crankiness over the last week. I already took a test this morning.... negative. I is still early to test, though.... I am taking (another) test this weekend if my period doesn't show. So, yeah. Discuss.

Getting ready for Vacay!

So, today we hit the laundromat. In the pouring rain! Oh! Yes! We! Did!

3 hours, and 8 loads of folded laundry later.... we were done. Then, we dropped the laundry at home, and I made a shopping list. We went to Wal*Mart, Trader Joes, and Safeway. Now I am having a well-deserved beer.

This time next week, I will be enjoying our FABULOUS MEXICAN VACATION!!!! Yay!!! So, we've been listening to this Spanish-learning Podcast, and reading out of the Spanish phrasebook as best as our gringo asses are able. At least I will be able to ask for a beer, and say I don't speak Spanish. LOL!

Oh, please pray to the Menstrual Goddess for me. I REALLY want to start my period in the next day or two... so I am NOT carrying the 'pons with me to Mehico. Plus, I might actually wanna have some S-E-X while on vacay, Mmmmkay? Is that REALLY too much to ask?

And, hopefully... this might just be my last period for a good long while! *wink, wink!*

Thanks!


Eh hem..... so, if the weather holds tomorrow, we will take Travis to the park.... and I will go spend some $$$ at my LYS (local yarn $tore. I am dying to start this Log Cabin Blanket I saw in the Mason Dixon Knitting book. Oh.... the humanity! I have SO many unfinished projects right now! Grr! I am Officially Obesessed. Yup!
