An Announcement! Exciting!
(image found at: http://rlv.zcache.com/are_you_pregnant_card-p137126423820108142tdtq_400.jpg) Oh, my lovely friends and readers… In my last post I shared two fabulous blogs that most of you somehow missed due to a tiny announcement I made that we had some exciting news to share later this week. It has been less than 24 hours since I made that announcement, and in that I time I have received multiple emails and facebook messages all asking the same thing: “…are you pregnant?!” “…ARE YOU HAVING A BABY?” “You’re pregnant. It HAS to be that.” I promise you, it doesn’t have to be that. We could be moving! I could be undergoing major surgery! I could have…

Growing Pains*
(image found at: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/misusing_slang.png) When do we really grow up? Is there a moment in time when all of a sudden something shifts and we move from adolescence to adulthood in an instant, whether we like it or not? Does it happen so gradually that we don’t even notice it’s happening until it smacks us in the face? …and what the heck is a grown up, anyway? Is it when we discover that vegetables aren’t just gross–they’re actually fabulous? …or when our siblings become our friends and parents are suddenly wiser than we ever realized? Is it when we truly feel independent for the first time? …or when we are…

Saturday Somethings*
Do you ever have those weeks where you just feel… uninspired? All summer I’ve been busting with things I’ve wanted to share with you and write, and then this past week it was like all that creativity vanished. I know it probably has a lot to do with the stress I’ve been under (which got so bad that I couldn’t sleep one night last week) but thankfully that’s lightened a little bit now that I found a little job. I start work next Tuesday, so I’ll let you know how it goes. :) But here’s a little catch-up on where I’ve been all week (physically and mentally. haha). —— First…

She Fail*
**Have you voted in my poll yet?? —> (image found at: http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/32970873/Shakira++She+Wolf.jpg) Dear Shakira, We’ve been friends for a long time, you and I. I have loved your music since the Whenever, Wherever days and my friends and I even choreographed a dance to match the song (complete with not-so sexy crawling moves as seen in your video. Sadly, my mom wouldn’t let us bring mud into the house to make it complete. Mothers. *sigh*). I think your voice is amazing because it is SO unique and your sound is so… original. I covet your fabulous hair with great coveting, and wish my Hips Didn’t Lie like yours. Really, there…

You Know You’re In A Small Town When…
Have you voted in my poll yet?? —> The Hubster and I went on a bit of an impromptu vacation combining business with leisure this week. After meeting my new little niece (Pea) on Sunday, we hopped in the car and drove to the beautiful boonies. The Hubs was there for business, and as I had some free time I decided to tag along. It actually worked out perfectly as I had a friend from high school who lived nearby who had the week off and we got to see each other after nearly 2 years. It was a teeny, tiny little town, much like where I grew up in…
