So I’ve decided. All my blog titles from here on out are going to be lines from songs that I’m listening to lately. So if you can guess what they are, great, if you can’t, and you want to know, you can ask. This one’s from Regina Spektor. And yes, I’ve changed the look a bit. Truth told, it’s not fall anymore…so we needed some revamping. The more I look through these things online the more I realise that I really, really need to figure out my own design situation. I’m going to start my HTML book soon- so we’ll see what that does for me. But that’s enough of the site news.
I’ve got a bunch of random thoughts that I’ve been meaning to share as of late, so here goes. First of all (starting with this evening) chicken legs are CHEAP. And they taste GOOD. Tonight we made very successful BBQ legs, rice, and coleslaw. The chicken took about an hour in the oven….and I wouldn’t mind speeding that process up a bit…but the effect was well worth it. John ate it rather hungrily, and I always feel good when I discover something he enjoys. Earlier tonight I posted a couple of pictures of my rapidly expanding belly- mostly to show my Mom. When my Dad saw them he saw, “Looks like that baby has ear bones.” Which is my father’s way of saying, “I heard it last week when you told me your baby has ear bones now.” Which is funny- at least to me.
Also- we’ve been spending most of our later evening hours watching The Cosby Show on DVD, one of my Christmas presents. Seriously- I’m obsessed with Bill Cosby. I want him to deliver my baby. My Mom says that he’s not a real doctor- everyone says he’s not a real doctor. But I don’t even care. Maybe he can just be in the room when I’m in labor and crack jokes. On TOP of that, my brother SWEARS he saw him at the Provo Town Center Mall this past weekend. SERIOUSLY. Bill Cosby.
There have been a couple more changes around here lately. Mainly- we’re driving two separate cars around these days. I have to be honest- except for a couple of times when things got dicey, I actually enjoyed getting a ride to work in the morning and going everywhere together. It was kind of nice in a way that it’s rather hard to explain- when we got the Subaru we were both a bit put out but couldn’t figure out why. And that feeling was quickly overwhelmed by absolute joy at finding such nice car and me not having to get John to work by 8am on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Also- we’ve declared a texting ceasefire. We found out that we went over the limit on John’s phone this last month…costing us about $30. I have unlimited texting on mine, but I am unapologetically still on my Daddy’s family plan. (Thanks Dad) Which will stop in a couple of months. But instead of upping John’s limit- we decided to stop texting so much. And I think I’m addicted, honestly, but getting used to it. I didn’t realise how many times day I would text him, “So, what you up to?” etc. Silly silly.
So, what am I reading? Well, I’ve found a few new blogs- which, if you’re like me and like to stalk blogs- you might want to take a look at. A lot of them I’m run across through Blog Her, and who knows! Maybe one of them will see this link and be surprised that I go to their site. But here goes:
Kimba, who is also pregnant. Congrats!
and
The Alpha Mom - which is kind of a repository for interesting consumer/mom stuff.
I’m also reading Stardust- a book John bought a couple of months ago and just finished (it’s been in his “to read” queue since before Christmas). It’s so different than the movie- but good. It’s nice to make time to read in the evenings…even though I think tonight be a lay-head-on-pillow-pass-out night.
OK, that might be all for now. Just a bunch of jumbly thoughts I wanted to get out…hopefully I’ll have more time now that I’m liberated from the science class online. PHEW.
