The Year of Surprises

2015 is shaping up to be the year of surprises. First, I receive an invitation for a baby shower for one of my friends…the only thing…I didn't know she was pregnant, as in 7 months pregnant! Second, I get the mail one Saturday afternoon, two weeks ago and there in the mail is a red envelope. I open it and find out that the Maid of Honor in my wedding had eloped in December on the slopes of Utah. It wasn't unexpected but I was still surprised. Being surprised has sort of been the theme of my life this past year. There is a line in a movie that I worked on, that also sums up this theme. Staring Nicole Kidman, she says "I wonder what exciting will happen next?" The line has been a running joke between my boss and I because of the unexpectedness of our work situation. I've taken that line and pretty much am running with it in my personal life as well. For once in my life, I don't know what happens next and I am not scared about it. It's really quite refreshing not to have to worry all the time about things I couldn't control anyway. I don't have time to be scared anyway with all these surprises happening not to mention, all my friends getting married this year. I don't have to worry about what is going to happen next because I will be too busy to worry! In fact, talk about surprises, I have two good friends getting married on the same day in October. What a dilemma! Luckily fate, took care of whose wedding I was going to go too so I don't need to worry about that. So to sum up, surprises, yeah…it will be an interesting year.

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...
