Why?

How come no one told me about Dispatch sooner?

Shoots

I have always wondered if, hoped that, and wished upon stars that I could be one of "those" pregnant women. You know, the ones who don't gain ANY weight at all and just get this adorable belly.


Turns out, I am one of those women who actually carry the baby in their thighs instead of their stomach.

I didn't even know there were such women.

Somehow feeling better didn't automatically translate into enthusiasm to clean my house like I was hoping it would.

I'd post a picture but some of you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore.

False.

I am feeling (knock on wood) quite a bit better today

My house is going to be clean for the first time in weeks.

Busy

I recently went to Iraq in the middle of the night and rescued 3 little girls. Before that I was an Olympic diver with one of my old roommates. Last night I got a new job and as part of my training I had to test the breakfast bar. I ate whole wheat pancakes, french toast sticks, bacon, eggs and fresh pineapple and strawberries. Then I woke up for a second. When I fell back asleep I watched/starred in a full length movie with Tom Hanks and Nicole Kidman.

My sleeping life is SOOO much better than my waking moments. Small wonder I managed to stay asleep until 2:00 in the afternoon!

I'm so hungry

Last night I was sad (again) and I finally burst in to tears and admitted, "I want to go home."

Li, in an effort to calm me down, said, "No. Home is boring. You don't need to see your family."

And through my tears I responded, "Noooo, I just want the food."

He then proceeded to name all the food related perks of being at home while I cried harder and harder. Things like...someone is always going to Wendy's or TacoBell. There are family dinners and birthday parties all the time. I can always count on finding something to eat in one of my Grandma's pantries or even an aunt or uncle if they aren't home. There are restaurants nearby....

And what I REALLY want to eat right now is birthday cake (slash "lard cake") I'm sure someone at home would support me in that craving!

Newsworthy

After a recent midnight dash to the toilet Li asked me why I was sad. Hmmm....good question. Besides the obvious-I hate puking response, why was I sad?

Here's why...
I feel like the world should stop when I have to sprint to the bathroom. I mean, Li does a good job of bringing me water, rubbing my back and seeing if I need anything. Really, I am quite spoiled.

But doesn't it just seem like the WHOLE world should stop? Like news reporters and even the paparazzi should be banging down my door trying to be the first to catch the story of the incredibly selfless woman who is going through all of this trauma just so a new baby can be born?!

I think so.

I guess pregnancy really does prepare you for motherhood....I'm going to go sick the paps on my mommy.

Good news...

Turns out I CAN play an F chord on my guitar. I always thought I couldn't because it always sounded like junk when I tried.

All I had to do was strum one less string.

This opens up a whole new world that was previously slammed shut in my face!

Yippee Skippee!

My first tag!

Yea, somebody tagged me by name. That never happened before!

Basic rules....List 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 surprising facts, and then tag 5 other people. Leave a comment for the people you tag so they know they have been tagged.

3 joys:
Unisom and B6. It seems to be helping and I haven't thrown up since last Friday. (knock on wood)
Going for walks with Li. Such a fun tradition we have started since I've been pregnant.
Li. He puts up with so much and still gives me a foot rub almost every night!

3 Fears:
The dark and what might be lurking.
Missing out on something. This has been my biggest fear since I was very small.
Not reaching my potential. I always think I'm supposed to be doing something else.

3 Current obsessions/collections.
Blogging. This might border on addiction.
Reading about pregnancy stuff. Again...addiction?
Finding an obsession...I am a little obsessed with finding a hobby or passion. I don't think I have one, besides blogging which does not count!

3 Surprising facts.
I hardly ever shave. TMI?
I can touch my nose with my tongue. A skill I inherited from my mommy.
I've run 2 marathons. Which you'd find really surprising if you watched me try to run lately.

I tag Mikensi, Jennifer Washburn, Mikki, Alysha and Amelia.

How lame am I?

It's Friday night and I am home alone watching the Kahuku game.
And loving it.

We have a winner......

Congratulations to her and to all of you who entered. Way to be so creative!

And no congrats for me, as this is a really boring post.
