Here's Some Reality...

I took this right off another blog, but had to share becuase it sends such a strong message.

Tate predictions

Leave it to my creative-web-loving-husband to find a website where family and friends can make predictions on when your baby will be born and how big he'll be! I guess his competitive juices are flowing, because he's even offered a prize to whoever has the closest prediction...a gift certificate to Barnes & Noble.

So join the fun and make your own prediction for Tate's arrival. I just ask that the guesses aren't too much earlier than the due date. I still have a nursery to finish. :)

Preggo!

Several have asked, so I thought I'd share my buddha belly for the entire world wide web to see. It's hard to believe that I will keep growing for the next 6 weeks...I might pop!

The Joy of Mail

I might really be going out on a limb here and exposing a strange quirk I have (one of many). Oh well, here goes...

I love getting the mail.

Is that strange? I love getting home from work and getting a fresh pile of mail to sort through. It's somewhat disappointing when it's all junk mail that is thrown away. Some of my most favorite mail items:

* Newsweek (complete geekiness here)
* the monthly checking account statement (great feeling of accomplishment to balance out the account)
* any version of a greeting card, letter, or note (it's fun even when Macy gets a birthday card from the vet!)
* the Pottery Barn catalog
* a charity direct mail piece with personalized address labels

I know that people complain every time the price of a postage stamp goes up, but you have to admit, it's still a pretty good deal to be able to send a piece of mail across the country for only 39 cents!

Ahhhh, the simple pleasures in life!

Don't Quack at Me

I think I've started waddling! I swore up and down that I wouldn't do it, but it's feeling a little unavoidable. It usually happens when getting out of bed or getting up after sitting in a meeting at work for a long time.

What a strange thing? In the just the last week or so, I feel like my stomach has become HUGE, so I guess this was bound to happen. I just hope my body doesn't get used to it, and I can walk like my normal self again afterwards.

In the meantime, no quacking sounds please! :)

Am I ready for this?

8 weeks...60 days...yikes!

Pure Genius

I'm a fan of the entire 100 Calorie snack line, but have quickly come to LOVE the 100 Calorie Cheetos. Oh my goodness are these good! It's the perfect portion size and is exactly what you need when craving that crunchy, cheesy snack. The objective side of me knows what an overpriced scam this is. The subjective side of me doesn't care, because it's awfully helpful to have the right size packaged without being tempted to overindulge. Yum!

Whoever came up with the idea for 100 calorie product line is pure genius...thanks!
