Long, hot day, or was it just me?

I am sitting here fighting the urge to go to bed before 9:00pm but at the same time I'm completely exhausted after my first day back at work.  I didn't even have kids yet but all these meetings and sitting in a hot building really took a toll on me today.  I didn't even get out of there until 6:30!  It was crazy, and I'm still not ready for our open house on Thursday.  Ugh!  I was waddling around, tired, fanning myself constantly, unable to sit still for too long in one position, needing water, and seriously irritated at myself for choosing such a hot outfit all day and no lie, I got more compliments than I even have!  Everyone kept telling me how great I looked and that I'm "just glowing!".  Really?  I mean I was sweating profusely so I'm sure I did "glow" but I felt disgusting!  I know I'm my own worst critic so I'm trying to just accept the nice words and move on.  I've got another long day tomorrow and I have to travel twice as far and leave early again so I might stop fighting the urge and hit they hay after all....

Shower Sunday

Today I had a pretty good day.  I had my first baby shower today!!!  It was pretty exciting because, hey, you only have your first baby shower once, right!  It was really nice and I had a great time.  Everyone seemed to be excited to be there and acted like they had a good time.  We received a LOT of really cute things and some great things that we really wanted.  I really enjoyed playing the baby shower games.  We had to unscramble baby related words (which I won because I totally LOVE playing Jumble in the paper so I might have had an unfair advantage), and we tested baby food to see who could correctly identify the most.  Let's just say my baby will NOT be eating jarred chicken.  It spelled like dog food and I have no idea what it tasted like because I couldn't even think about bringing myself to actually put it into my mouth.  *yuck*.

Things I like Thursday

Reluctantly I have changed the name of this blog today.  Obviously posting daily was too much of a hassle for me to keep it up so I changed the name to one with lower expectations.  Maybe it's because I haven't had too many eventful things happening of late.  Kind of a good thing I guess.  So, I'm back today to share some of the things I am currently liking.  

My  new Graco Glider I bought from Walmart.com and that Drew assembled.  It looks smashing in our nursery and is comfortable to boot.

The love affair with Dr. Pepper continues.  I use them as an occassional treat and I gotta say, it really is what the dr. ordered!  Okay not really, my dr. did not in fact tell me to drink dr. pepper but whatever

The mobile I ordered that is taking forever to come in!

The quilt my mom is making.  The edge is no pink not yellow and the silver "lines" are actually just safety pins.

Wild & Crazy Weekend

Now, don't read that title and get your hopes up that you are about to read the first hand account of a wild and crazy weekend, because you will be so disappointed it's not even funny.  I guess I should have titled this entry "Unwild Weekend" because that really fits the bill better.

However, that being said I do have quite a weekend ahead of me.  First of all, Drew is out of town with friends to float the river in New Braunfels (sp?).  He left this morning and won't be back until Sunday!  Sunday!  So, tonight is going to iffy.  I have the hardest time falling asleep with out him here.  My plan is to stay up as late as I can and fall asleep out of sheer exhaustion. Tomorrow I'm going to his cousin's wedding and then a family reunion on Sunday.  I know it's not much but hopefully it will keep me occupied.  I was actually able to turn in two assignments today. One was due today the other was a full day early!!  I am such a procrastinator that a FULL day is quite an accomplishment for me.  Especially when you consider I've turned in assignments with mere hours to spare (2 hours to be exact).

See, "Unwild and Uncrazy Weekend"

Goodnight Blogger!

Things I like Thursday

It was no so subtlely brought to my attention that if I cannot blog everyday I cannot call my blog The Daily Daven, so here I am again.  I think Thursday's may just be my Things I like blog.  I'll post some pics of the things that I am currently liking.  Today it's all baby stuff I'm afraid so if you are not good with the cutesy stuff, turn away now.  NOW I say!

What a stereotype

So I'm sitting here being a stereotypical pregnant lady with a nice big bowl of dutch chocolate ice cream in one hand, my water in the other, and my bare feet propped up all the while watching television.  Lazy you say?  If anything I'm multitasking because I didn't even mention that i'm also blogging (although hopefully you assumed that was going on too).

Honestly, I haven't really been giving into cravings so I'm going to savor this ice cream.  It's the only thing I've really wanted and just had to go buy.  Well, I guess I should revise that statement.  I have been craving Dr. Pepper like a feign and crazily enough cannot stand diet coke which used to be what I slurped down by the gallon and pretty much how I stayed hydrated before I got pregnant.  But my goodness, Dr. Pepper is freaking awesome!

She's been moving like crazy, or at least I think she has been, these past few days.  I hate that I have no idea what it feels like exactly.  Everyone compares it to different things.  It could feel like hunger pains, gas, digestion, butterflies, popcorn popping and the list goes on and on and on.  I would like to think I've been feeling her moving and not just loads of gas gurgling or digestion happening, but I guess that is always a possibility.  I'm just going to say it's her moving.  Case closed, my mind is made up.

Well gotta run, my ice cream is melting!  Aaaaahhh!
