Weird Dreams

So I have a lot of weird dreams. And in my dreams, they often reference other occurences that happened. But when I wake up it's like that stuff never happened before, so it seems like maybe I dreamed it before. Like last night I dreamed I looked out my back door and there was this man playing back there with his dog and I thought why does this keep happening? And I remembered in my dream that we'd been having this recurring problem of strange men just coming in our backyard and playing with their big dogs. And while this man was in the backyard I was on the phone with some lady who called and complained about my listing on Ebay and I told her that it wasn't mine and someone was fraudulently using my name because I kept getting phone calls like that. Weird, huh? And it's not like those are the weirdest dreams I have because they get way wackier, but I just can't figure out this referencing to past events that never happened. What do you think?

Chinese Food

On Friday we went to a place for Chinese food. I was very excited because I have been craving Chinese food my whole pregnancy and my in-laws were paying. So they serve the first course and it's soup and it's really good! So then the entrees come, family-style and not only did they smell bad to me, what I managed to try tasted bad too. Everyone else was loving the food and I just sat there feeling sick and hungry. It was not fun. The one redeeming part was they played me Happy Birthday on the sound system John Sousa style. That was weird, but cool. Oh well, one more Chinese restaurant down, 1 million to go!

Poll Results

So Hank won, which is funny because it was a last minute addition by David. However, Jehosaphat tied for 2nd, which is great because David can't stand that name and I like to torture him with it! Sadly, my favorite Pablo Pierre only got one vote. Sure hope this baby is a girl! Be sure to vote in the next poll!

Hot Juice

Just a quick funny note about Jeremy. We're not really soda drinkers, every once in a while, but I don't buy it unless there's a party or something. So Jeremy hasn't really grown up around soda and he's never developed a taste for it. Everytime someone would give him a drink of it, he would just spit it out. But ever since I've been pregnant, David knows to keep the pantry stocked with ginger ale to settle my stomach. So Jeremy finally decided to give it a try out of my glass and he kind of winces but he likes it. He calls it my hot juice, and he tells me it's too hot for his mouth. It's funny, because the carbonation has always been a turnoff for me too, which is why I don't like soda too often.

Good Day

So today I wanted to kind of take it mellow, I know not much different than my other days. The youth are going to the Orange County Food Bank to do service and I really wanted to go. I've never been there. Then I talked to my MIL and she was telling me she has the scouts coming over tonight and she needed to make cookies but she didn't know when she'd find the time. So I thought, I can do that for her! I feel so useless and incapable of service most of the time. So Jeremy and I made chocolate chip cookies and he licked the beaters for the first time. I think it's so cute and a really fond memory of mine from my childhood, but he'd never do it before. Well while I was getting the salt out of the cupboard, I felt it wobble a little and the next thing I knew the whole cabinet had fallen off the wall on me. Well I caught it and let it spill everything onto the counter and floor and then I lifted the cabinet onto the floor. It was really surprising and Jeremy just stood there looking at me like what in the world is going on in there!? Anyway I'm just glad it wasn't one of the other cabinets because they're all bigger and have heavier stuff like dishes in them and I wouldn't have been able to hold them. I called Daddy and he said that cabinet had been down when we looked at the house and they had to put it back up before we moved in. Apparently those former owners didn't do a very good job. Oh well, it lasted 7 1/2 years. I can't believe we've been here that long. I'm so tempted to just take the rest of the cabinets down and give the kitchen the makeover it sorely needs, but I don't want to spend the money! I guess we're lucky it's not urgent, except for that cabinet!

Easter Egg Hunt Birthday Party

So finally we had a birthday celebration for Jeremy. His birthday was only 2 months ago so that's not too bad, right? I've just been too sick and the weather this year a little too predictably rainy, which was great, to plan an outside party. So finally here comes the sun and we decided to combo his birthday with our annual cousin Easter egg hunt since it's almost that time. It was fun and the kids had a ball even without the big bouncer we usually get. Daddy likes the bouncer but I was happy not to have it with all the complaints it brings about bumps and playing too rough and all the stuff kids complain about. We started out with the Easter egg hunt and then we ate food and played two more games. First the egg and spoon race and then toss the eggs in the air with our cute sheepy sheet. I made his cupcakes in the shape of a 5 and he opened his fun presents, dinosaurs, books, walkie talkies, and games for his Leapster and the Playstation. So fun!

Poll Results

So overwhelmingly, most of you would prefer not to drink orange juice after brushing your teeth. I agree! Though I must say that drinking it with syruppy pancakes makes the juice a leetle sour. Be sure to vote on my new poll! BTW, I'm totally kidding about these names, but we have no idea what to name a boy so it better be a girl!

Code Names

So I've been thinking about changing my blog and just using everyone's real names. When I first started blogging, the only blogs I read all had code names, but now I read all these blogs where everybody just goes by their own names, and that's kind of fun. So leave me a comment and let me know how you feel on the whole code name/real name debate.

So Big!

So yesterday one of my young women told me how big I was and how huge I was going to be at the end, and I thought really? What does she know, she's never been pregnant, and I told her I was short and since she was short too she'd be huge pregnant someday. Then a little later a group of us women were standing talking and they said that I looked big too, and I thought really? So now I'm really curious as to how huge I'm going to be. I really don't care how big I get because this is it, my last pregnancy adventure and I just keep thinking I never have to do this again. And that gets me through sometimes. Last night we were at Daddy's parents' house and I was wearing my safety maternity pants that never make me sick because they're HUGE and they were too tight and I had to roll them down too. And my bra has been making me nauseated so I had to take that off and Daddy put it in his pocket for me. I'm telling you, the nudist colonies were made for pregnant women. I've decided. Just Kidding, but clothes are really my enemy. Except for my friend bathrobe of course, gotta love that.
