The Story Of Us

I know! I know! It's not the weekend yet but it's just a day away.. and Friday is a half day anyway.. and I intend on enjoying this weekend the second it starts. Which hopefully be this time tomorrow. Why so much enthusiasm for this particular long weekend.. well this is officially our last long weekend before baby arrives.. we could get the 4th of July weekend.. but that will be just too late and I think relaxing will be the last thing on my mind then and will be thinking more along the lines of how do I get this baby out! Our plans for this weekend.. well lets just say its all about relaxing. I'll give you the deets in next weeks post. And to all of you out there lucky enough to get a long weekend, enjoy! Get out and bar.b.que, take in the sun and let everything else just melt away. In the last week I have been lucky enough to be in three wonderful treasuries all deserving of your clicks: Secret Garden Meet Me There and  I am the Light of the World I have ...

I can't believe it has been ten days since I last blogged. I have been so busy and tired that time just slipped away from me. I don't even know where to start. What's happening now may be a good start, I have a lunch party on Saturday, girls only kind of like a baby shower but a bit religious in nature. Lots of cooking needed, which thank god my aunt is taking care of. I have another aunt flying in from LA and one of my childhood friends coming in from Atlanta. Excited! But for now what I do need to do is clean house. With we getting closer to my due date I've been ignoring the dust gathering and just cleaning what I need to clean. But with twenty something people coming over I have gotten back to cleaning all the nitty gritties.. a little everyday.. todays task THE KITCHEN! Half way done.. so yippee.. taking a break and will get back to the rest in a bit. That was a domestic update now for a baby update.. we bought a crib.. yet to be assembled.. we also bought a gl...

After a few days of tank tops and flip flops, when we thought our coats and sweaters could finally be put away along came the gusts of wind, the scattered showers and the cold weather. So my socks are back on and I got my sweatshirt out of the deep recesses of my closet. On Saturday I recieved a little package in the mail. I had won a few giveaways over the past few weeks and I expected it to be another prize. I say this without meaning to offend or seem ungrateful but not all prizes excite me as other. Some I wait for while others I forget I was even expecting. This little package definitely took me by surprise. Inside was the most gorgeous necklace ever. The colors just right, I wore it immediately and didn't take it off all day. Went out with friends and coordinated my wardrobe to work with the necklace. M was also a big fan of it, interestingly enough with the cool blues around my neck my hotness level shot through the roof. : ) But that was not all that came in the package. ...

Yes you read right.. I have gotten butt cramps.. they stay hidden for most of the day but then all of a sudden when you least expected BANG.. this sharp pain shoots down my leg and one of my butt checks cramps up like it's having a seziure! Not fun! This makes my very frequent bathroom trips all the more troublesome.. Curious, I Googled butt cramps and turns out I'm not the only one. Thank God for that.. not that I enjoy others pain it's just that having butt cramps is just weird. Anyway.. turns out that while the baby is partying inside..tumbling about and using my bladder as a squeeze toy s/he manages to roll on over my sciatic nerve and when the nerve is pinched it cause pain to shoot up and down my leg.. Oh well as long as the baby is enjoying him/herself.. right?! In other news.. we have two decent sized closets in each room but they lack shelving..meaning the space is just being wasted.. so we decided to install our own shelving and optimize the space in our close...
