Too much Law and Order, not enough radio. I realized that I’m back to watching tv all evening. I’m not getting much done and laying/sitting on that couch is only making me feel more tired, more achy. And the achier and more tired I feel, the less I want to stand up off that god forsaken couch. That couch is the devil!

Time for an update
I’m bored to death right now… sick again (what am I at now, 6 colds since getting pregnant?), and brainstorming on decor ideas for J’s new room. I thought I knew what I wanted to do in there. I got 2 samples of pink paint on sunday and I slapped them both on the walls in there.. I call them puke-pink, and puker-pink. We’re using them both. But I had decided I didn’t like the new bedding I bought for her couple months ago because it was also too pink, but now i’m just so disgusted at the prices online that I’m just going to use it. I’ll need to add some different color (stripes or something) to the wall behind where her bed will go just to give some contrast to the puker pink. Too much pink!
For christmas, we decided to get her a bike, table & chair set, and a couple of those leapy froggy book thingies. Dam, it’s still only november and she’s got about 5 gifts under the tree already from her gramma? wow, lucky girl!! She better not get used to it cuz once her lil sister is here, we (and i’m sure other fam) will need to split the joy between them. No way we can spend 300-400 bucks for each kid every xmas. LOL! Besides, there will be plenty of hand me downs to help the situation. Also, buying one big thing for both might also work since they’re both girls. So there are even more benefits to having 2 of the same sex.
What do i want for xmas? hmmm… probably the Discover iRobot series roomba vacuum-ajig (not original series). It’s F’ing expensive tho.. but damn if we dont’ need something to keep dog hair and dust off our floors all the time. The damn thing can be put on a schedule, will return to it’s base to recharge itself. it would be so awesome. iRobot Roomba Why is it anything I REALLY want is so fucking expensive? sigh….

We bought another car yesterday.
It felt weird buying this car because it was like.. we need to buy another car, but we really want to keep the price under 9k out the door so we know our options are limited, but we want to be happy with the car we buy too (very tough to do). That made it tricky. We looked at a ‘94 Nissan Sentra, an Mazda 626, a Nissan Maxima, and a Toyota Camry (the last one). We settled on the Camry. I’m all about aesthetics. If it’s pretty, I can live with shortcomings. I’ve never liked the looks of the Camry but this car drove very smoothly and it was the right price and not as old as the others..
So anyway now we have the camry and funny thing is, I love it when I’m driving it (it drives better than my accord did!), but when i stop and look at it, ehh… I dunno. It’s got a paint problem on the rear bumper, and an annoying issue with the movable shade thingy in the front. (that, I think, I can pull a martha stewart on and fix myself tho) We need to take it in to get serviced because the front wheels feel unbalanced. Aside from that, tho, and the ugly baby-ish blue interior color, it seems like a great car for the money.
The odyssey developed what appears to be an electrical issue in the dash over the weekend which rendered the radio and dvd player unusable. I think that is putting a damper on the whole car thing for me. I just hope to god Dennis manages to find someone who can fix it today so we don’t have to take a 10 hour long road trip without the radio and without the dvd player too. 
Pregnant woman tip #1: Don’t get between a pregnant woman and her food cravings/wants/needs. It can get dangerous. Or worse, it can get embarrassing as she raises her voice enough to make other restaurant goers turn their head and stare. heehee
Pregnant woman tip #2: If a pregnant woman asks you to “cuddle” or to be “tucked in”, don’t say no. Or she (and baby) might have a bad night crying her eyes out, develop a migraine and a nose bleed. This can’t be good for the baby either.

Frustrated
There was a time (probably half my life) when I despised getting help from other people. My pride (or was it ego?) was so overly inflated I felt I could do anything without help from anyone (and i’m talking stuff like schoolwork here or anything computer related) . Hated asking for help, HATED getting help i didn’t ask for or having someone swoop in a fix something of mine without asking first. Well I grew out of that thankfully but every once in a while it still resurfaces. D and I shared an office at our last place of residence and we butted heads quite often because he’d help when it wasn’t welcome. Come to think of it, he’d react the same way when I’d help without askng.. (these were the days when we’d stay up till 7 am working on isntalling some OS or installing whatever shit of the week we were in to.)
But like I said, it still resurfaces. I wonder if it’s wrong of me or not… but anyway, a coworker swooped in and fixed something that was asked of me to fix without saying a word to me first. He just swooped & fixed. The same old feelings are there.. did he think i was incapable of doing it? did he think I needed the help and thought he was just being nice? maybe it’s less complicated than that and he was just saw a job that needed to be done and did it.. which is what makes our dept. a good one, imo.
But still, it bothered me. So much that I’m still spending thought cycles on this. ugh… I just really didn’t like getting the help when I didn’t need it, didn’t ask for it. sigh… oh well, it wasn’t THAT big of a deal i guess…
In other news…. there is no news. hmm I’m getting bigger around the middle. I’d say 50% of it is bloating. LOL! and I can feel the little booger squirm around on a daily basis now. Mostly in the AM after getting to work and eating something. I actually felt her over the outside under my hand.. It truely does feel like having a small squirrel inside squirming to get out. so weird. I guess i was too shocked during my first pregnancy to think of it this much. I realized there’s a another benefit to having 2 girls.. we could have them bunk in one bedroom and turn the smaller one into an office. FINALLY! we’d get to have an office again!!!

Funnies
*WOMAN’S PERFECT BREAKFAST*
She’s sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.
*WOMEN’S REVENGE*
“Cash, check or charge?” I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase.
As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse.
“So, do you always carry your TV remote?” I asked.
“No,” she replied, ” but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.”
*UNDERSTANDING WOMEN*
(A MAN’S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
*MARRIAGE SEMINAR*
While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor, “It is essential that husbands and wives know each other’s likes and dislikes.”
He addressed the man, “Can you name your wife’s favorite flower?”
Tom leaned over, touched his wife’s arm gently and whispered, “It’s Pillsbury, isn’t it?
*CIGARETTES AND TAMPONS**
A man walks into a pharmacy and wanders up and down the aisles. The sales girl notices him and asks him if she can help him. He answers that he is looking for a box of tampons for his wife. She directs him down the correct aisle. A few minutes later, he deposits a huge bag of cotton balls and a ball of string on the counter.
She says, confused, “Sir, I thought you were looking for some tampons for your wife?
He answers, ” You see, it’s like this, yesterday, I sent my wife to the store to get me a carton of cigarettes,
and she came back with a tin of tobacco and some rolling papers; cause it’s sooo-ooo–oo-ooo much cheaper. So, I figure if I have to roll my own ………. so does she.
( I figure this guy is the one on the milk carton! )
*WIFE VS. HUSBAND*
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?”
“Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.”
*W O R D S *
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day…
30,000 to a man’s 15,000.
The wife replied, “The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men…
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, “What?”
*CREATION*
A man said to his wife one day, “I don’t know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.” The wife responded, “Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!
*WHO DOES WHAT*
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, “You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.”
The husband said, ” You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.”
Wife replies, “No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.”
Husband replies, “I can’t believe that, show me.”
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says……….”HEBREWS”
*The Silent Treatment*
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
“Please wake me at 5:00 AM.” He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, “It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.”
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.
