Hectic

Man have these past weeks ever been busy! Not only has work been busy but life at home. Then there is Christmas and all that comes with the holidays and you could say at this very moment I am pooped.

I have just finished cleaning my house after an epic costumed birthday party centered on Alice in Wonderland. The purpose, to celebrate my husband's 35th year of birth. After showering me with 35 surprises for my 35th this past summer, I thought long and hard what I could do to try and make it up to him. I settled on a costume party with a scavenger hunt and a massive, outrageous 8 layer themed cake.

Spent the last 6 weeks cutting out hearts, stickering this and that, ordering stuff online, trying to figure out if I could replicate a beautiful fondant cake I found online and you know enough craft projects to make 35 things for a scavenger hunt. Suffice to say I was pretty busy. And like all major events in my life we get to party day and it rains.

Well, instead of stressing about it, I decided to embrace it so at the end of the day I got pretty cozy with 40 guests in my little 1200 square foot house. I am of the opinion you have to look on the bright side of things and so I just had to laugh off the rain and embrace it as good luck. Well, I guess you could say it was good luck as the party was a success. Birthday boy had a good time with his friends, my house was trashed, and I have a garbage can full of beer bottles. hehe It was a fun evening. Oh and we got those beans back. Aargh....

Here are some pictures from the evening:

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
