Picture People

This past week hubbers emailed me with a great dealio from Groupon for taking some baby pictures. I find it ironic that I haven't gotten Baby Girl's photo taken professionally yet and she will be 14 months this week. Me, the Queen of Scrapbooking and the Queen of printing photos has gotten around to documenting her child's professional growth. So when I saw the deal for 8 pages of free photos I took it. Made an appointment this past Saturday. The people at the store were were really nice despite being completely swamped with children when we arrived. People who can stay friendly amongst high maintenance parents and unruly children get a gold star in my book. We took 4 changes of clothes and ended up taking 3 sets of pictures with 3 of the outfits. Baby girl was very good and did her thing for the first two sets but by the third set she was done. Pretty good results for a baby who can't sit still! For $16 bucks I thought the quality would be bad but alas, they were very good quality and the kicker is that they take so many damn good pictures you just need them all and thus, extracting an additional $100 from the cheap, Groupon-ing parent with ease. I suppose that is okay because we got $100 worth of fun out of watching our girl poses and as a bonus got to take home some really nice pictures. Now that I have so many printed pictures of the same poses I will have to find some frames and figure out who to give pictures to. In addition to the 8-pages of the 1-single pose (see below photo) I bought the photo CD with all of the other poses so that I can go to Costco and print out other photos that I liked from the session.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
