Year Two

Last weekend was the Breast Cancer 3 day walk. It was the second year that my friend participated and the second year we went to cheer her on (we being Amy, Kari, Grace and I...mom had to stay home this year).



My friend was so excited for the walk...especially because they offer Uncrustables as a snack along the route. Even though the sign was for her, everyone told us how great they tasted!

She just so happened to have an Uncrustables with her!

(My head was looking a little funky in this picture...I'm not happy that neither sister mentioned anything about the funkiness.)

Until next time...year three.

October 1st

• The birth date of the boy I loved in middle and high school. My sister thinks she saw him on Facebook and came to the conclusion that he's 99.9% gay. I actually wasn't surprised when she told me that.
• The birth date of my brother's best friend growing up.
• The date that that friend's dad passed away.
• The day that Grace took a bottle from me.
  
• The first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
  
• The day that I can officially start decorating for Halloween.

Who Knew?!

Mix this smell

and

this smell

and you get

this smell.

I love when the weather cools down and I can begin baking! Even if my senses decide to play tricks on me and make me think there's blueberry muffins cooling but it's really a chocolate chip cookie.

Adventures in Babysitting

Babysitting for the nieces and nephew has started up again. 3 is a bit tiring...we'll see how 4 goes next year.

My nephew called me Popie and my niece's little friend asked, "What's a Popie?!" I responded with, "I'm a Popie." My niece gave me the look of death...apparently it's not cool to have an aunt named Popie.

I Couldn't Believe My Eyes

I was cruising down the freeway this morning, on my way to work, when I noticed a single headlight behind me. I was speeding and since I couldn't tell if it was a motorcycle cop or not, I decided to slow down. The light came closer and closer and I soon realized it wasn't a cop but a...motorcycle with training wheels?!

What the heck is that?!?! I tried taking a picture of it with my phone but they were going over 80 mph and the speed limit was 55. So I'm borrowing this picture from Google.

Do you think you have to take the same motorcycle driving test for this as you do a regular 2 wheel bike?

Differences

It's amazing what can change in a year.

A year ago today, Will, Amy & I did this.

Today, just Amy and I did.
I've always noticed that we don't look anything alike but for some reason, looking at this picture makes me really notice that there's no resemblance between the two of us. But my mom swears that we're sisters...she says she was there both birthdays.

Once And For All...I Wish

It seems as though I am asked, "Will you keep working after the baby is born?" on a daily basis. I'm.sick.of.it.

I'm also sick of the question, "Who will watch your baby?" Unless you're offering, please don't ask.

These questions give me anxiety and I'm a procrastinator. So when he gets here, I'll have it all figured out. Until then, keep the questions to yourself.

And if you think it'd be funny to leave a comment asking me these questions, it wouldn't be.

Also, I am getting a small glimpse of what it's like to have huge boobs. My stomach seems to get the same reaction that a large chest does. Yes, it's growing. No, it doesn't have to be the first thing you look at when we approach each other. Yes, I can tell you're looking at it.

On a happy note, I have a wedding cake tasting tomorrow night and LaVor & I are almost completely over our colds. Yah. Being pregnant and having a cold twice in 2 months, not fun. Thanks to whoever decided to share their germs with us. Next time, keep them to yourself.
