Okay...It happened. A few months ago on vacation, my sister in law gave me a book to read. When I started working seconds last month, I finally found the time to read a little before I went to bed.(Bob's not there so I don't keep him up with the light on) The story line was pretty good, a little bit of high school romance with a vampire twist. I would read a chapter each night, then go to sleep. (I am talking about Twilight in case you did not figure it out by now) It was keeping my attention and some nights I was tempted to read the second chapter, but it was too late and I really needed to get to sleep.
Well, last night it happened. About 230 pages into the book - I couldn't put it down. For those of you who have read it, it was when they started playing baseball and she went to watch and the event that happened after that. (If you have not read it, I didn't ruin anything for you.) Holy cow....It was about 3.5 chapters later that I looked at the clock saw 2:30 and knew I had to get to bed in order to function the next day. I am a little embarrassed to say this, but I can't wait to get home tonight and read more....I've been bitten
P.S. I am surprised that two guys said they tried on their clothes before they bought them. I really didn't expect that.

Shopping
I shopped like man today.
I was at walmart to pick up a few grocery items and thought I would check out the clearance rack (that's not the man part). I walked around the racks, held things up and guessed what size I would need and put it my cart. I didn't try anything on!! (That is the man part) It was kinda fun. I ended up getting 10 shirts and only 1 does not really fit. Best part is the most expensive one was 7 bucks. I love a bargain. And now I have things to fit around my growing belly :)

Food
I have been struggling with food this week. I have been working on second shift, not sleeping well, and when I wake up, all I want to do is sit and watch TV. Nothing ever sounded good to eat except animal crackers.
Well, yesterday, I woke up around 9:30am (after my third trip to pee for the night) and decided that I would feel better if I just ate something. So I made scrambled eggs. A good healthy protein to start my day off with. Well, to quote my husband...'Baby didn't like the eggs'. Yep, my first official upchuck of the pregnancy...at 14 weeks! I thought this was supposed to be ending.
Side bar: As an adult, I don't get sick often. In fact I can remember the last two things I ate before I got sick. Taco Bell for lunch 5 years ago (Food poisoning), and sloppy Joe casserole(Ended up being a virus) about 3 years ago. And to date, eggs. Needless to say, I think I have only had Taco Bell about 2 times in those past 5 years, and never made the sloppy joe casserole again. Now I have to figure out what to do about eggs.
One of the things that I have been able to eat are the new wings from Wendy's. I have had all three (BBQ, Buffalo, and Asian Zing). Asian Zing is my favorite. In fact, I had them last night with a side of chili. Then guess what I made today? In the 90 degree weather we have been having the past month, I decided to make Chili. I found a recipe for Wendy's Chili and am eating it now as I type. Yum.
Did I mention that I also bought pickles when I was at the store?
Am I pregnant or what?

Summer food
Watermelon.
There is just something about watermellon that makes me think of summer.
Our neighbors gave us half a watermellon on Saturday night. (We happened to be walking by and they were about to cut one and didn't think they would eat all of it so we got half:>)
I took it home and decided to use my melon baller. Now, if you are like me, you registered for one of these things on your bridal registry and it has sat in your drawer for 5 years. How many times have you actually used it? The only melon we really like is watermelon, so I always slice that a certain way, into cubes. Well, I used the fun little tool and had quite a good time scooping out my melon. It's also kinda fun to eat the little balls of fruit.
So go home, dig out your watermelon and try something different.

Joyfull Thing Number 1
Thanks for all the well wishes from everyone about the new baby.
And thanks to Kerri for filling me in on why those girls were buying so much bleach...I learned something.
One of the 'joys' that I have discovered with my pregnancy is that about 3 months ago, my body decided to try and grow bangs.
Yes, I said Grow. Now the ladies reading this know that bangs are something you usually decided to GROW-Out or cut. You don't grow them. Cutting them is a more natural transition. One day you don't have them, the next day you do. When one decides to grow them out, it takes a bit longer, there is an awkward stage when they are too long to be bangs, but not long enough to be feathered into your regular hair, but you can tuck them behind your ears and get away with that.
I said TRY because there are not enough of them to be called bangs and too many of them to be whispies...they are annoying as heck. I wear my hair in a pony tail at work most the time and now I have this crown of fuzz. I try to spray them back, but then I look like helmet head or the ones on the side all stick together and I have these whiskers that stick out on top of my ears. UHgg....

In case you did not know....
I think that most of you who read this, already know....(unless you are a lurker and I don't know that you read my blog...) but in case you didn't know, I am about to spill the beans..
I am pregnant.
Due in early January. We are excited and know that we are in for some changes in our lives, but looking forward to it.
I am sure that some of my future posts will be about the joyful things I have found during my first 3 months and beyond.
Just wanted to make sure you were all in the loop.

Nosey shopping
Ever stand in line at the check out and wonder what the other person is going to do with what they are buying?? Today I saw two young girls with the following.
25 2 liter botles of Pepsi
7 bags of sugar
20 bottles of Great Value bleach
25 bags of flour totilla
Lots or Red plastic cups
Lots of red plastic plates
hmm....I think it was the bleach that confused me?
