i need my bed!!

lets see…. so i went to bed around 8? and woke up around 6:30 this morning cuz i was all sleeped out. dennis got so pissed off at me for turning on the light that he stormed out like a 5 year old toting his pillow to the living room couch. what was i supposed to do?! i couldn’t sleep anymore! and i had to get ready for work anyway, right!? jeez! men.

this pregnancy is going to kill me. up until these last 2 days i really didn’t feel much of anything. except an odd day here and there. but yesterday was crazy. i was awake for only 6 hours… the rest of the time i was sleeping. so now i’m at work and have been sleepy for the last 20 minutes. this sux! I’d console myself with the thought of leaving early this afternoon if things remain as dead as they are. there are 3 of us here and close to nothing to do. BUT i’m changing passwords today and a particular oem has decided they don’t want theirs changed till 5pm EST. DAMN!!! that sux ass like you would not beleive cuz i can’t do it from home either. well…… i guess i could. :)
maybe i’ll leave here after changing our passwd then go home and snooze until it’s time to change theirs…… i guess that would work. hooray!

anyway, i feel like an infant myself. sleep, drink water, sleep, get up to pee, sleep, drink water, sleep, get up to pee…. HOLY CHRIST! i hope i’m not this way for our honeymoon cruise in 2 weeks!! 7 day cruise to the western caribbean. CAN’T HARDLY WAIT!!

i just can’t get enough sleep.

I’ve slept today a total of 12 hours and made myself get up. I’ve got no desire to do anything else around this house. maybe i’ll make myself to laundry later, dunno. I’m glad I don’t have to go to work today or i would’ve had to find some dark place to curl up for a while. I don’t really like feeling so sleep all the time like this! no drive, no energy. sheesh!

dennis took off to work again without picking up his fucking clothes off the floor, sox & underwear on the bathroom floor and jeans & shirt in the middle of the bedroom floor. Too bad i was in bed when he left cuz if i’d seen it, i wouldn’t have let him leave without picking up his damn mess. he’s gotten better about it tho over the last couple years, so there is hope. I just wonder how much longer i’ll need to be the fucking nanny/ mom around these parts. with a kid on the way, i’m never gonna get a break. but i tell you what! this kid, whether it be girl or boy, is going to be taking care of it’s own messes REAL early. oh yeah. it’s going to be taught early to be responsible for it’s own messes. I’m not going to be these moms who let their kids do any ol thing they wish and then spend the whole day cleaning up after them. It’s always pissed me off when i go to someone’s house and see this arrangement with the mom. like she’s supposed to be a maid!? but it’s their own fault for letting it turn out that way cuz i’ve got plenty of little cousins who’ve been taught right and their moms don’t have this problem.

ok, ’nuff ranting. time to go back to bed…. i think i’ll lay down on the couch a while and watch the tube. ciao.

Time for me to spill the beans to LJ !

ok, for a whole month I’ve been keeping a secret and now that i’ve told practically the whole world… lj needs to know too. :)

Dennis and I are having a baby. :) I’m 8 weeks 4 days pregnant. Can you believe it? I’m still having trouble believing it myself!

It’s part of the reason we got married so soon. actually, it’s the bulk of the reason why. that and the fact that we can’t afford a big ceremony now anyway. this house has vacuumed our bank accounts clean.

we had our first ultrasound yesterday. it was so cool. I saw a little white blob inside what i guess was my uterus but i wasn’t sure if it was alive cuz it wasn’t moving and the nurse was stone faced for a while. then all of a sudden she zooms in on it and says “here’s the heartbeat” and we all saw this little flickering light in the middle of the white blob. WOW. then she turned up the speakers and we could hear it! it was going 167 beats a minute. I was really surprised to see how fast it was.

dennis was “blown away” as he put it. now i think it’s sunk in for him. Me on the other hand, i still can’t beleive that little person is in me. i don’t feel anything!!! i’ve had some pain, some restlessness, sometimes i feel queezy but that only lasts a short time. nothing else.

we’re having trouble scanning the u/s pictures today. hopefully will have it soon on my site so ya’ll can see too.

we’re going to dennis’ aunts house for a couple hours then it’s work for him, and miami for me to my grandmother’s house.

merry christmas!

I’m a married woman!

man, why does it take so long for things to sink in.. maybe I just need to sit down for a little while and think about it until it seems real to me. i still can’t beleive i’m married!

Dennis and I got married today. (I’ll post some pictures this week) I drove down to miami to pick up the parental units including grandparental unit and get my hair done. came home, showed them around the house. (they went absolutely nutts with all the citrus fruit and took 3 bags of it with them at the end of the day), introduced them to dennis’ father, got ready, and drove up to west palm beach. 10 minutes into the journey I realized that nobody remembered the rings so we had to turn back. I think this is what started the nervousness for me. MAN, i got nervous. ok, so we get the rings and head back to our destination. we get there only i realize that i forgot my license. oh man, i thought we’d have to turn back again but no we were ok without the id. whew!!

i was so nervous that the rest of what happened at the courthouse was a blur. ok, maybe not completely a blurr, but almost, ;) but it all seemed to go quicker than I expected it would. after daddy and dennis’ dad signed the papers as our two witnesses, they took us into this little room which they use for ceremonies and we took pictures under their cute little matrimony thingy. (not sure what u call it) then a woman came in and had us recite our vows. dennis went first, them me. we exchanged rings, recited even more vows, again dennis went first, we kissed, and VIOLA, we were married. wow, i can’t believe it actually happened. i’m in disbeleif. :-O
I have a husband…. i’m somebody’s wife. OMG! that’s so bazaar. heehee!

ok, so afterwards we all drove back to boca and had linner at macaroni grill. i ordered lobster raviolli. it was scrumptius yum!. everybody else’s dish looked delish too. it was funny cuz my dad kept trying to get everyone else to take a peice of his steak. he thought it was so good he wanted to share but i just don’t like steak very much so i didn’t try it. we all talked, we joked, chatted, played little games on the table using the crayons and paper table clothes. :) daddy was his usual playful self making jokes and stuff. it was cool. after that, we all drove back to my place.

the whole affair probably took six or seven hours..

now that everything is over i’m itching to do something else. i kinda feel giddy and energetic and don’t want to lounge around the rest of the night.. Die another day looks good. i wouldn’t mind seeing that but dennis is pased out in bed so i dunno if we’ll get to see it tonight. :( we’ll see.

wow…. i’m married.!!.. *gasps* :)

i’m sick of malls already!

dennis and i spent about 3,4 hours at sawgrass mills today looking for a suit for him. man, i was bitching yesterday about looking for a dress but i gotta say even tho it was harder for me to find one, at least it didn’t cost me a $300 bucks! damn, men’s suits are expensive + shoes + tie and shirt. hope he doesn’t ‘outgrow’ this one too. when i first met him, he was downright anorexic. he was probably a whole 30lbs lighter then. He’s not fat or overweight now, he’s just gained enough weight to be healthy! so his old suit doesn’t fit him anymore obviously and it can’t be fixed to fit him either.

I’m not totally happy with my dress yet tho. i’m not really used to shopping for myself as a size 14 especially when most places only go up to 12 – ugh. seems like only yesterday i was a size 9. man, i know it may not seem like much to some folks who are heavier than that but it has to do with how you feel comfortable with yourself, and not necessarily the numbers. so it can’t really be compared i guess.

anyway, i guess i’ll tell ya’ll what all this dressing up is for. dennis and I are getting married on monday. surprise! surprise! surprise! after spending more money than we have in our bank accounts on this forking house (and we haven’t even gotten started yet) we decided we just don’t have the funds for big ‘ol wedding and my parents are in town so… it just seemed right to do it now. it will be a quicky wedding – at the court house – nice and cheep just like we want it. and a little get together afterwards with the immediate family. very lowkey, and a tad informal. This was our original plan to begin with and we should have stuck with it and not changed our minds when we did. Had we kept our original plans, we would have been married last month!

anyway, wish us good luck! and PLEASE keep this info hush hush for now. ok? so don’t go telling everyone at work just yet. let me spill the beans next week. :)

endless search for a dress :(

well this afternoon i went out on a quest for a dress. I walked EVERY square inch of coral square mall and found that that’s a bad place to go if you’re looking for formalwear. they have none! so i drive to town center mall and soon realized that I’M FAT! nothing fits me right. it was so depressing. ugh! my body is so fucking dorked up. i’m shaped like a fucking melon. thicker in the middle than anywhere else. i walked every square inch and tried on dozens of dresses and only had one contender so at the end of the day i went back and got it. but not before also getting a girdle so i could fit in the damned thing. sheesh. what a depressing day this was.
