Weekend In Review

So my weekend was actually quite entertaining. On Friday I went down to visit Nathan and, go figure, he was napping again when I arrived. :p  I had figured as much because he stopped texting me back while I was driving, so I knew he had fallen asleep. I wasn't planning on waking him up when I arrived, but when he opend his eyes to acknowledge that I was there, I thought he was waking up, so I jumped on the bed and was like "get up, get up, get up!"  To which he eventually did. After he awoke, he took me shopping at his mall and we walked around for a little while. We went into the motherhood maternity store and of course they were having a sale! I was excited about this, but at the same time didn't want him to spend a whole bunch of money of me, so I only picked up a couple of really cute items to try on. I tried on these two shirts and one dress. Let me just say this, the dress was HIDEOUS! It was by far the worst thing I have tried on in a very long time. The two shirts were super cute and i picked out the burtn sienna colored one because I liked it most. I also had tried on a couble layered grey tank top, but I wasn't liking the two layers, had it been only one or maybe if it was swen together differently, it would have been cuter, but otherwise not so much. I didn't see much else in the store that I liked so I ended up only getting the one shirt. I was happy b/c I had anew shirt and it was SUPER cute! :) Also it's different from the shirts I have in my closet so it provides me with some variety in my wardrobe now, and that's what i'm looking for. After we were done at motherhood we walked into spencers and saw some pretty hilarious stuff. They had thses really hilarious pregnant tees, but unfortunally the sizes on those were OSFM (one size fits most) and I'm most def, not the most size. LOL. They were built for like TINY girls who were maaaaybe 3-5 months along, so there was no way i would have been able to squeeze into that. It was okay though, b/c it got me thinking they can't be the ONLY store that sells shirts like that, so I decided at some point I'd look online and see if I might be able to find any there. After walking around spencers for awhile we went into victoria's secret. I thought maybe I might be able to find some cute boyshorts but, go figure, they had none of the cute ones in my size...stupid big butt....Anyways, I didn't bother looking at anything else b/c that would have just frustrated me considering they don't make their bra's big enough for me either, so I wouldn't have been to get any even if i found one that I really liked. I just sturck out when it came to shopping that day, but it was okay b/c I enjoyed being able to spend time with Nathan and walk around. I would have tried on more things had I been able to shop for normal size clothes, but right now that would have meant I was playing a guessing game, and I didn't want to take the risk of me guessing wrong. After we finished up at the mall we went over to best buy so Nate could pay his bill, and then to wal-mart b/c I thought they might be cool and have a maternity line there. Turns out wal-mart is super lame and had no such line...Another reason why Target is SOOOOO much better...but that's another story for another time.. When we finiahed up running around thete we came back to the house and put in movies and watched those until we fell asleep. The next morning Nathan had to work so I left about the same time he did and headed back home. When I got home nobody was around. Mom, dad, and Lisa had already taken off to go to Wilmington to move Lisa's stuff around, and Bee was passed out asleep still. He eventually woke up within the hour or so, and then went over to his friends house. I hopped in the shower and made myself all prettied up by putting on my new shirt. After this I decided to run over to target and pick up a few things. I wanted to try this liquid foundation I had heard about and thought it might work out better than the powder kind I already had. On my back from target I decided to call up Lacy and see if she wanted to do something. She did and told me she had to get ready and would call me when she was. I said okay and headed home. When I got home I decided to try out the foundation and see what I thought. Well it worked a lot better than I would have thought and that made me happuy and I felt really cute. Well about the time I was ready to go, Lacy had texted me sying she was also. I decided, if she was up for it. we would drive down to rock hill and I could stop in and say hey to Nathan. I wanted him to see me looking all cute with my hair scrunched and make-up on. Well go figure we got stuck in traffic and by the time we arrived he was on his break. I told him I was across the street and he told us to kill some time before he got back in the store. I decided Lacy and I could walk around the mall for a bit to kill the rest of our time, so we did. Well around 4, Nate called me and told me they let him go early and so I decided I would pop over and see him for a little bit befor ehe drove home. So we left the mall and I met him in the parking lot and talked to him for maaaybe 10 minutes and then we parted ways. Well since I didn't spend much time with him that day, I decided that I would come down to his place today (sunday) and look all cute when I arrived. Well since it was raining pretty bad he asked if I'd come get him from work, and I was like sure. This took away from my original surprise of beating him to his house and having stir fry ready for him when he arrived. Instead, we went to the store and got pork chops, creamed corn, and french frys. Then came back and cooked them for him while he played COD with the boys. It's now 11:32 and I decided I would pop on here and up date this while listening to him scream at everybody when he dies...which is happening a lot tonight...haha!   "I wouldn't have to scream if these effing people weren't on the wal-mart connection"   pssh, excuses for everything..  :p  hahahaha!!  :)
Yeah, other than that not to much has been going on. I've just been trying to think up creative fun ideas for things to do for a day trip somewhere that's not to expensive...so far all I have thought of has been going to mountains, but IDK if it'd be to hot for that, not to mention IDK what we would do when we got there. So in the meantime I'm just thinking up other possible ideas of something to do. Oh so I think it's hilarious b/c as I'm typing this Nathan is reading along...and it amuses me b/c he keeps saying he's going to update HIS blog, but hasn't done so yet....It's okay. I just think it's funny!  :D I was thinking about saying "Hey, you can't read this until you update your blog, but then I was like naah.." So now I'm just sitting here. :)  Alrighty, well I think I'm going to hop off of here and move over to fbook. Until I pop on later.

Title-less..

Today I woke up at 5:00am. Don't ask my why, (oh wait, that's right I had to pee, lol) Any ways, After I woke up I found myself unable to fall back asleep. I decided to text Nathan around 5:15 or so, since I knew he would be up for work, to say good morning and tell him I hope he has a good day at work. I know he's been doing inventory all week and working crazy shift hours, so I thought maybe by sending him a good morning note it would help make the day (or at least morning) pass by more quickly and brighten his day. I'm not really sure if he appreciated it since his response was "go to bed woman," but I was like oh well, "It's the thought that counts." :) While waiting for a response to my text back, I fell asleep and woke up around 6:15 or so...about an hour later. Well at this point, since I was pretty much wide awake and couldn't sleep any longer, I figured I would go ahead and get up. I didn't want to toss and turn all morning trying to fall back asleep only to wind up not doing so. Well since nobody else was awake yet, I opted to put in season 9 of friends and start watching it. I made it through almost an entire disk before I was so exhausted that I ended up falling back asleep for a little over an hour. At this point it was now about 11 or 12 o'clock so I decided, at this point, that I should probably get up and socialize with my family...or at least let them know I was alive. haha! After doing so, we didn't really have much planned for the day so I went back into my room and watched more friends and read my "What To Expect: The First Year" book. I also read up on what was happening with little Jayden this week in "What To Expect: When You're Expecting." I love these books. They are so full of such great and relevant information, and it's also nice to know I'm not crazy or the only one who wonders certain things. I think the next time I'm down at Nathan's I'm going to leave the books there for a few days, IDK if he has interest in reading them, but the other day when I was down there, I did catch him flipping through the pages, so he may have more of an interest in reading over them than I thought.
Speaking of, things with us are going great. There's no reason why they wouldn't be. We always have fun when were together and no matter what we do it's always entertaining. :) Yesterday I was walking around the mall with my sister and mom while Lisa (my sister) was looking for clothes for grad school. She's trying to acquire more of a professional casual look or a more sophisticated one for school, and interviews she will be going on. While walking around the mall and seeing all the cute clothes they have out started to make me really miss shopping and being able to get non-pregnancy clothes without having to guess if its close to right size..or if it doesn't fit b/c I'm pregnant or wondering if it will fit later. Well I texted Nathan and told him that I missed shopping and he said "we will take you shopping when I get paid." I told him he didn't have to, I was just saying...but then added, If you want to I won't be opposed ;)  He said yea why not it'll be fun. So now I can't wait for that, I know it's going to be so much fun. Not to mention I will be able to try on the craziest of things and see his reaction to them...that is, if he's up for it. LOL!  I just have to wonder what I might shop for...I'm thinking maybe something "cute, yet not so comfortable ;)"  lol. But no really...  I just don't know. I'm just so lucky to have him in my life. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how much I love him and how much we just fit together. He's so good to me and I love him so much for that. I have a few surprises/ideas up my sleeve that I'm going to do for him, I just have to wait until the opportune moment. :) Which one of them will be done within the week...so look forward to that. When I have carried out with my surprises, I will write more here, but, since I know Nathan reads this, I can't say to much to soon, or else he may figure them out, and that would ruin the surprise! :p
Oh man, so today I got the new issue of cosmo, and I haven't gotten their issue in awhile. I have skipped a couple of months, and finally decided to pick up this months just to see what kinds of things they will talk about this month. Well that inspired me to get creative and needless to say I came up with an interesting idea for a game. I'm not exactly sure how well it'll go over, but I figure it can't hurt to try, and at the very least will be amusing. :) Not to mention it will give me something to do to kill some time in my day.
Oh man, so I'm so thankful that these posts have an auto save attached to them. I just closed out of this page and was so very much hoping that all of it would somehow be saved when I got back to it...and sure enough it was! Thank you blogspot.com for being so considerate of us and our need to leave drafts open sometimes.
Well that's about all I can think to post in this one, I'll write more later.
Until Then.....

.......As Requested.......

So I was requested to update my blog by Nathan, so this is me doing so. I find this rather amusing b/c I have probably updated this at least 4 times in the last week and he has yet to update his, so this is me requesting him to update his  :p  (I say this b/c I know he will read this and probably do so..  :p)   Anyways, what to say....Well my cousin has returned up north to spend time at my grandparents with her dad before heading back home to her house to start band camp and school sometime in august. It was nice having her here to visit for awhile, but I'm glad things have finally settled back in to normal. It was getting hard to keep finding things to entertain her with while she was around. I got tired of playing the same games and doing the same things, so I was glad that things have settled back down into our normal routine. Don't get me wrong, I love my cousin, but I after awhile I get to needing my space, and feeling like I had to entertain her all the time was starting to feel like a chore. I'm sure she will be back next summer and it will be fun to have her around, a little different b/c at that point i'll have my son to take care of, and hopefully won't still be living at home, and will have a job, but it will be nice to see her again when she returns! :)
To get her where she needed to be that meant that we would be taking a trip up to ohio. We drove up this past weekend and stayed at my grandparents house for a couple of days. We left bright and early on friday morning and got to their house around 3pm. It wasn't a bad drive at all and it didn't feel like we were in the car for a long time. It was nice to get there and be out of the car when we finally did arrive and that started our weekend visit. Friday was a fun day and we just hung out at their house and played games and ate some delicious food and then went to bed. The next was saturday and I decided I was going to take pictures around my grandma's house to show nathan all the creepy things she keeps there, such as the dolls and other such crazy things. Katie also would be heading out this day which meant that my uncle and other grandma would be coming to pick her up. They arrived around noon and we all had a nice lunch before they headed out and took katie up to michigan for a little bit. Before they arrived I was in a rather upset mood and had to make myself cheer up so I wouldn't be bitter. I was so upset because my brother, sister, dad, and grandpa were outside shooting the rifle gun as practice and I wanted to go out and try. I was inside playing cards with my mom and katie and she was talking about how she didn't want to shoot, but the minute I said I was going to go, she was all about it. Well I walked outside to see if I could come and the first thing my dad says is "do you think it's a good idea in her condition" like I was incapable of shooting a gun b/c I was pregnant. This really hurt my feelings because the way he said it made it seem like I had this horrible thing that was wrong with me and I couldn't partake when everybody else was. I decided to walk around the house and just let the comment go b/c I didn't want to make a scene. Well when I got back to where everybody was he was like okay you want to try? So of course I did, but when I went to pick up the gun I wasn't holding it right, but I needed to hold it one way and then move it the other for it to seem comfortable to me. Well when I did that my grandpa and dad flipped out and kept telling me I needed to it another way, and I was going to but they didn't let me explain and my grandpa was like "if you're not going to do it right you can't do it all" So this really hurt my feelings and I ran away and started getting really upset. I didn't see what the big deal and I could tell they didn't think I should be doing it anyways, and I kept feeling like they were looking at me like I was breaking some law of something or I was gonna hurt myself, so I just stormed off and went inside to not be bothered. Nobody brought it up and my mom didn't even come in to see if i was okay. My dad knew he had upset me, but just did his whole "pat on the back/back rub" thing he always does and didn't say anything. Well that was even more annoying, and since my grandma's house is so small, there was no place I could go to hide out and not be bugged by anybody. I was upset for a good hour or so and then got interrupted when my grandma and uncle showed up. I was still in a sour mood when they got there so I just didn't get into conversation much b/c I didn't want to snap or end up crying for no reason. The only thing that made me feel a whole lot better was when I texted Nathan and he talked to me for a little bit. He told me he would teach me how to shoot a gun and that made me feel better b/c I knew that if my dad and grandpa wouldn't be patient with me I hoped he would at least be more willing. I was just so upset b/c my sister got to leave and tell her boyfriend that she got to shoot a 22 caliber rifle for the first time in ohio and i knew he'd be proud of her....he's got a gun and always talks about hunting and I just wanted to have a really awesome story to be able to tell my boyfriend when I got back. I didn't think it was fair that she had a cool story to tell and I had nothing. I was sad b/c I just wanted to come back with this epic story to tell nathan and he could be like "man, my girlfriend is so cool" ....but no, instead I came back with nothing. I just hope one day I will end up having a really awesome story to tell. Well now that I'm in a sad mood from reliving all of that, I'm going to write about something less upsetting.
Well our drive back home was decent, we did run into rain, but it wasn't so horrible. On the way home my dad wanted to stop by his old college where he went to school and show us what it looked like, so we did. It was kind of neat to hear his stories and see where he lived for four years of his life and where he met my mom. After that short detour, we headed home for the long hull. When we finally arrived home at about 5pm i unpacked and then repacked to head down to Nathan's. I got to his place around 630 7ish and then talked to him for a little bit before going to get some food at McDonald's. We decided we would start building his halo ship i got him for his birthday back in may and that was a fun project for us to work on. We worked on it for a couple of hours before we got tired and decided to head to bed. This morning we woke up and started working on it again. We are 2/3 of the way finished but unfortunately can't go any further due to the fact that we are missing a piece. I'm thinking it's lost somewhere in Nathan's room... Maybe he will be prompted to clean in order to find the missing piece...lol, doubtful. :p  I mean he's a guy, and in my experience, guys tend not to clean much. :p haha! After we got stuck and couldn't find the missing piece we watched tv for a little while before he decided to come in his room and play COD. I'm now sitting on his bed listening to him talk/yell at his friends and the tv while playing. I've been put-sing around facebook and dailybooth.com updating my social networks I have, and just kind of chilling. I don't know how much longer he will be playing, but I hope it's not to much longer. I think we should put in a movie and watch that as something to do, but who knows if that will happen. Anyways, all is going well on my end. I'm off to chill and play bubble shooter until Nathan finishes his game of COD. :)

GAH!

UUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!  I just wish I could find a job so I can have something to do, and also so I can start having money, I don't like feeling like i owe my mom money from my last two credit card bills. :/  OIY! I just really need something to do! Like now! This is getting to be a bit to insane for me! I'm going crazy sitting inside all day. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't as hot out, b/c then I would go down to the park and walk around or just sit by the water and enjoy the view, but forget that happening in this heat, i'd die the minute i got to the bench to sit. I just don't know what to do....I'm running out of things to entertain myself. :(  Oh well, i guess i will figure something out....
Until later.

blah blog.

So my cousin is leaving friday. I'm looking forward to things returning to normal around here and it being pretty mellow all the time. I feel bad when i shut myself in my room b/c i don't want to be around people b/c i know i'll snap or because everybody is driving me nuts with their tapping or acting aniexty, that i don't like to be around them. Since she's returning home, that means we have to take her to ohio, and that's an 8 hour drive up to my grandparents, and an 8 hours ride smashed in the backseat of the car. :( oh joy! I plan on bringing my computer, ipod, and headphones so that i can drown out the annoyingness of being stuck in the back. I'm looking forward to my brother coming back home, b/c at least his anexity moments are predictable and i know when he'll start tapping. Anyways, I was wishing that i didn't have to go b/c nathan has the weekend off and i would have loved to have spent time with him. Not to mention the ride up is going to suck b/c i'm going to be cramped and have to pee often, which will drive my dad nuts having to stop every so often. Seriously the more I type I contemplate driving my own car up there. In the long run it'd be probably be better for me, but I just don't want to. Anyways, enough of this. On to something else.
I don't think I'm going to sleep very well tonight. It's already 12:15 and I'm not tired. I have a lot of things going through my head right now. I can't shut off of my brain and just relax, so I will resort to watching friends and blogging right now.
I've been told by lots of people that I'm not the jealous type and I try really hard not to be, but every once in awhile it does pop out, and I end up with green monster of envy/jealousy hanging over my head. It's never for the same reason, sometimes it's because attention is being taken away from somebody, or because i like the new shirt this girl has. Maybe it's even because the girl sitting next to me is a little skinner than me and i wonder what it'd be like to be her. Whatever the reason I find it does pop out from time to time and I can't help it. I always try to keep it at bay but after awhile it starts to creep up and I can't help but thinking all these crazy things. But usually after time it starts to go away and I forget about it, but sometimes it just stays around and I can't help it. I don't want to be the jealous type, but i just can't help it. It's like no matter how hard I try to hide it, it just keeps coming back. :/  I guess that makes me a bad person, who knows?! But I'm trying to work on it......
Anyways, enough of that, just something I was thinking about. Oh man, so it's late and I was sitting here thinking about what I used to do when it'd be late and I would have nothing to do, and I started thinking about how Nathan and I used to text all the time like 24/7 until all hours of the night. We used to stay up until sometimes 3am typing to each other about the most randomest of things. I miss those days sometimes. We would talk about everything and anything and even some other equally crazy stuff. Maybe we ran out of things to talk about, or since we started dating and seeing each other all the time we just don't text that much, but idk. I mean don't get me wrong, we talk about everything, but never until 2 or 3am and late into the day. Or when we do it's the same old same old, "how was your day? What are you up to? etc..."  kinds of questions and not a set topic like dinosaurs or something as completely crazy and out there.
Well anyways, I think I'm going to get off here and hop into some comfy clothes! Night everybody!

Shower News! :)

So last time I was here I kept saying how excited I was for my baby shower and how I couldn't wait, so I think an update is due as to how that went and everything we got. I had an excellent time (despite being on house arrest upstairs until about 1:00pm)! Amber and Nathan showed up around 12ish and saved me from being to bored hanging out upstairs by my lonesome. They had great timing b/c I had just finished getting ready and was wondering what I was going to do until I was allowed downstairs. Around 12:45 my grandma made us all grilled cheese and tomato soup b/c we so hungry. It was very delicious and afterwords we were all able to go downstairs and see the decorations and everything they had been working on. I thought my sister and mom did a great job with it all and even picked out a super cute cake! It has a monkey on it and said "Congratulations Sarah and Nathan" I had great time playing the games and spending time with my family and friends. It was a good turnout, and although not everybody could make it, those who did had a great time and really enjoyed themselves. We got a lot of great stuff including a stroller with matching car seat and even a dragonfly yellow and grey pack-n-play. Not to mention everybody was very generous with the clothes, stuffed animals, diapers, and other such necessities. Amber got us the coolest thing ever. It's a bathtub that's in the shape of a rubber duck and it's inflatable, and the coolest part is, when you squeeze the nose/beak it makes quack quack noises! I wonder if they make them in adult sizes?! lol! It's such a great gift and will def. come in handy when we have to bathe the baby from being all dirty. :)  I love the stuffed animals, clothes, and even diapers we received from everybody. I will certainly say that Nathan and I are off to a great start when it comes to what we will be needing for when "Ultimus" arrives in October.  Overall the shower was wonderful and I really enjoyed it. I'm super excited for the one Nathan's mom is going to throw us, as well as the one Jenny and Tina are planning in Greensboro! (speaking of, I really need to get them a guest list....I will have to work on that tomorrow, so it's not like a week before and they are freaking out on me)

On Sunday I went down to Nathan's to spend some time with him since he had the day off and I really wanted to see him. I'm trying to get down there as much as I'm able to because I miss him a lot these days when he's not around and I enjoy our time spent together. Well when I arrived his lazy butt was still asleep in bed, which i had a feeling was going to happen. So I decided I'd climb in with him and take a nap since I was still tired from being up early. It took about 10-15 minutes of me laying there for him to decide he wanted to get up and get ready for the day. He took a shower and then cleaned his room while I piddled around online for a little bit. Afterwords we went out to lunch at applebee's and then went to the new Harry Potter movie. I was glad he decided to go with me, b/c I really hoped we would see the second part together since the first time we hung out we went to see the first part together. It just so happened that it would out to which we would do so, which means....the next movie we have to see is winnie the pooh! :) lol. Nathan is like I don't want to see that movie, and I'm 100% convinced that i'm going to be able to get him to come with me, but I just don't know anymore. All I can say, is i'm determined to see it before it goes out of theaters!  But anyways, back to potter. It was a really good. Not nearly as sappy as i thought it was going to be. There was only one part that made me really want to cry, otherwise I think the way the killed off the characters and everybody was done well and not in a super sad/sappy way. I enjoyed the way they put it all together and the way they wrapped it up. It makes me really want to read the books from where I left off. (I only ever made it to book 5, and only about the first 4 chapters, before I was tired of reading the potter books) I think the next time I try and read them I will start there so it will be new information I'm reading and I will stick with it longer.  But it was an excellent movie and I'm glad Nathan took me to go see it.
After the movie we went back to his place and watched the end of the world cup, which was interesting enough to say the least. While watching it we worked on his simpsons 3D puzzle ball he got. It was to crazy to do, and we ended up using the cheat numbers on the back. haha. We worked on the puzzle for about 30 minutes and then watched swamp people for about 2 hours, and then Nate let me switch it over to something different if I wanted to. I took advantage of that and switched it to bridezillas which I think made him angry and left him wanting to punch the TV b/c of the annoying crazy girls and the guys who he decided were totally whipped. I assured him I would never get that crazy and that I didn't understand how they could flip over the stupidest things! I think we both agreed that the show is just to crazy to watch. After a couple episodes of their screaming and yelling, we decided to change the channel and settled on a movie called cyberbully. It was alright, kind of annoying, and showed how stupid people can get online. I didn't like the ending and was disappointed in it, but thought it was overall an okay movie, if you were in high school, or dealing with the things they talked about. Aside from that I wouldn't really recommend it. Well after that was over we decided to hit the hay and go to bed. It was midnight and Nathan had to get up the next morning and work.

That brings us to today. Today was a fairly boring day. Nothing to exciting happen, though we did get a new security system installed, completely free of change, that allows us to be able to be directly connected to the police/fire department/etc in case of a true emergency. It was interesting to hear the guy talk about the features it has as well and other stuff. He was a younger guy so my mom was asking him questions like what he did for school and how he got into this. Turns out it's his summer job and he's from california! It was weird but he seemed cool and provided my mom with tuns of info on the new system. He came around and said they were doing this to promote their company and would upgrade our old system free of charge if we agreed to display their sign in our front yard. My mom was skeptical at first, but once she found out the monthly payment would stay the same as the one we had before she didn't see why not. I figure might as well, especially when my dad is always paranoid when we go on vacay or away for a weekend. I guess now when we go to ohio we won't have to worry about anything getting stolen or damaged.  It even has this key fob like thing that activates and deactivates your alarm while you're siting in your car in your driveway. It's really cool b/c then you can just press a button and it's armed when you're already outside of the house and all with just the push of a button.

But anyways, tomorrow I'm going to so I be pricked and have my blood drawn so they can make up and prepare my shot i have to get on wednesday b/c of my blood type. It's got something to do with a monkey gene, and either I have it or i'm lack mooresville ing it, and that's why i have to get this shot. I believe it's that i'm lacking it since my blood type is negative, and they have to give me this so my body doesn't fight off a possible negative blood type pregnancy if i wanted to have more kids down the line. It's a way of preparing me so I can have more children without complications, if i so choose to do so at some point. Wednesday is my "super fun" appointment (note the sarcasm) where I have to drink my bottle of goo and hope I don't end up with gestational diabetes, which is a possibility. I'm hoping I don't b/c I really like ice cream and I other sweets and I couldn't imagine not being able to eat them until october or so. I will be 28 weeks or 7 months tomorrow, for those of you who are keeping track. I'm in my last tri-mester and plugging along great. I don't feel like I've gained much weight up to this point, but I'm sure that won't last much longer and I'll be gaining lots like a crazy person. Lol.

Well I'm getting sleepy and I have to be up early tomorrow, not to mention I'm kind of running out of things to talk about, so I think I'm going to call it a night and hit the hay.

Until Next Time~

~The Blob & Ultimus      .......(i got in trouble for calling him blob jr. the last couple of times. I guess     ...                                                Nathan just doesn't get it, lol)

Mental Note....

CANT BE AROUND THE FOLLOWING SCENTS:    Onions, Spicy food, Herbs, Ground Beef.

Going to be eating dinner in my room tonight b/c mom cooked some herby onion potatoes tonight and it's killing me! I was going to eat outside, however it is raining  :(   that being said, i will be forced to have to eat upstairs in my room in my bed. Oh well. Better than sitting at the table and gagging every five seconds...  At least I'm being considerate of others and not letting them listen to me. Okay imperative that i spray down my room now. Anywho, if anybody was keeping track those are the current things I can't stand being cooked. Just throwing that out there. :)

The time is....

The time is 10:19am. I have been up since 8:19am. I'm tired, but also glad to be awake b/c now I will get to sleep sooner tonight, which means that tomorrow and the baby shower will arrive faster!  I had to get up early today b/c mom had the carpet cleaner guy come and he showed up at 9:00am, which meant that I needed to be up earlier so that I could hop in the shower and get dressed by the time he arrives.
It's now 11:20am the carpet guy left about 30 minutes ago and now I'm thinking it's lunch time. Time to feed the beast. Sooo hungry.
Until next time.

More News...

So I guess since I started keeping up with this again, I should do just that and give you an update.
Well the last couple of days around here have been pretty mellow. Not really a whole lot of anything going on. Mostly just me spending time with bee, katie, and my mom, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, however I'm at the point now where if I have to play another card/board game, or play any more wii i might just explode. IDK how I'm going to survive the drive to Ohio with my three of us smashed in the back seat. :/ I guess, as my mom always says, "I'll cross that bridge when I get there." Until then I've got more important things to think about. Like my baby shower on Saturday! I'm still SUPER excited for it and I can't wait until then!
There's a lot going on b/w now and then which should certainly keep my mind occupied and not being anxious about it finally arriving, which has proven itself difficult to this point. Today my mom has the house cleaners coming and they are going to dust and clean the entire house so it will be ready for the shower. Tomorrow she has the carpet cleaners coming to get out all the dog smell and make it look super nice around here for whenever everybody arrives. Speaking of the canine, we sent him to Bed and Biscuit (an upscale boarding place) where he will be spending the next few days until we pick him up from the shower. I'm glad he won't be around, mostly b/c now my allergies won't freak out on me half way through the shower and also we won't have to worry about him not liking anybody who shows up and possibly biting them. He's kind of a protective canine, which is a pain in the butt, b/c if you are a boy and tall and pet him he tends to not like you, which is why I'm glad he won't be there.
My sister is supposed to be coming home at some point today whenever she gets around to leaving wilmington, which i know has to be hard since her life and boyfriend are there, and when she comes home it's just kind of mellow and boring. Which believe me, nobody knows this one more than I do. Tomorrow my grandparents are showing up for the shower and that will be great b /c then i will have more people to talk to, and it'll be different topics of conversation. At this point I feel like i've covered every topic with mom and katie, minus the ones that would be incredibly awkward to talk about. Or the ones I can't tell my cousin b/c that would weird.   (this is sooooooo totally random i know, but i just had to spell checker to fix the word awkward, and who knew it was spelled with two w's???)  anyways, where was i? oh yea, topic of conversations with people. Speaking of, I have been wanting to CHUCK my phone across the room at a cement wall for days now. I haven't been able to talk to Nathan via text and it's been driving me crazy. I feel like i haven't talked to him in forever, even though we've talked everyday on facebook for at least an hour each time, but still. I miss being able to text him right before i head to bed to see how his day was, or tell him goodnight and that i love him. It's driving me nuts! The thing that bothers me the most about it that I will clearly have 2 bars of service and when i go to send a text message it says "network unavailable" or "network busy, try again" I'm like WTF phone?!?!   This is stupid!!!!!!!  Not the mention if i walk to the end of my driveway and get only 1X for service I have no problem sending my message. Yet if I'm in my room and i have 1X II with the two bars of service, it won't let me send anything. I just don't understand. I think it's technology's way of sticking it to the man, and unfortunately I'm the man. :(   UGH!
Anywho, that's about all i have for right now. I'm sure as my day goes on, I'll have more to post up here, but for now I'll just leave you with this.....

Much Much Much Needed Update.

Well hello there people, long time no talk! I'm no good at keeping up with these things, but since i don't have much else to do these days i figured i'd pop back on here, as it'd be a great way to express myself and get some thoughts out there. (yeah i know, that was a horrible run-on sentence, but i so don't care. lol)

Anyways, where to start?! Well lets see, I believe I updated you on my being pregnant. Initially it took some getting used to since it was a bit of a shock, but now i couldn't be happier about it and i'm soo excited for the little guy to pop out so we can meet him in october. We found out we're having a boy and he's due october 11th. Most days i'm so ready for him to be here so he can be a part of our life and keep us entertained with all the silly little things he's going to do but at the same time, as ready as i am for him to be here, I also know he has to stay inside a little longer and finish growing. He's now up to two pounds, if you can believe it! I'm 27 weeks along to the day, and so far all has been going well! I have been contemplating the idea of taking one of the classes they offer about babies, or a Lamaze class, or something like that but idk if nathan would be up for it. I'm thinking of all of the classes, the two of us would benefit the most from doing like an infant 101 class, or something to that extent. I thought about the Lamaze classes, but after talking to my mom, i think it would give me waaaay to much information, and i'd be even more freaked out the day of delivery than if i knew just enough info and nothing more. That's how i'm different i guess you could say. I keep telling everybody i'm on a need to know basis, and if i don't need to know something, then please don't tell me b/c my mind will wander and run with that thought until it was kept me awake at night. So that's one of the reason I'm thinking doing a Lamaze class wouldn't be such a good idea for me. Mom says it would help me to know how to breathe and all that, but i figure i could have her teach me what to do and it'd be like a win win...without getting more info than needed. lol! When it comes to the little guy though, i want to know everything i'm able to when he shows up. Nathan's sister got us this book called "What to expect the first year" and i haven't been able to put it down! I love it. It's got so much great information from everything to choosing the right pediatrician for your little guy, to how to change diaper and when he may start talking to everything in between. It's a great reference and i'm so glad she got it for us.....now i just have to finish reading it so nathan can look over it if he so feels inclined. lol! I have baby shower that my sister and mom have worked on putting together this upcoming saturday (the 16th) and i'm super excited about it! I know that nathan is excited too and i'm glad he was ale to work out his schedule so he'll have the day and will be able to be there to see what everybody has gotten us. :)

Here's to catching you up on my whole job status and what's been going down in that universe... :/
I quit my job at express back in may due to stress and shitty management and trying to cope with everything else going on. It was such a relief to be away from it, but after about 2 weeks i started to think i had made the worst decision ever. Ever since then I have had a heck of a time trying to find a new job. I have gone on 4 interviews all of which have ended in nothing. It sucks b/c I keep feeling like nobody wants to take a chance on me because i'm pregnant and I would have to leave in october when i went into labor for a bit, but would be back as soon as possible. No matter what i tell them, I feel like i can't win. It's getting harder now b/c i'm creeping into my last tri-mester and that means my odds of finding a job are pretty slim. Knowing that is hard b/c i feel like I shouldn't be spending money b/c i don't have, but at the same time i don't want nathan to have to do everything when we go out. I've started paying for dinner or lunch more frequently when we go out b/c i don't want him to feel like he has to provide everything. It's just hard b/c i'm so torn b/w what i want to do and what should i do. I feel like if nathan pays for everything everytime we go out that i'm a burden to him, and i don't want him to think that, b/c i'm certainly not trying to be one at all, yet at the same time, i feel like if i spend money on my card i'm going to hear about how my bill was a little more than it was last time from my mom (since she's paying for it right now b/c i have no money at the moment.) It's just hard on me sometimes b/c i know nathan wants us to have a place, but it's hard b/c without an income on my end, it's put that on hold. I feel terrible about this b/c i feel like i'm failing somehow by not being able to find a job. Not to mention Nathan has now started looking into taking on a second job where he used to work on top of his crazy full time hours at lowes. I just hope that if he does decide to take the second job that it doesn't end up wearing him out bc if that happened i would feel especially bad.

I keep thinking how awful i feel b/c at this point that i'm unable to provide for ultimus (that's our nickname for the baby, until we come up with something else) and I can't do all these great things I want to for nathan. I keep thinking about what's going to happen if i can't find a decent job by the end of the year. I'm really trying not to think about the negative things so much, but at the same time i have to, b/c it may end up being a possibility. It just sucks because I have soooooooo many great things i keep thinking i want to do for nathan and things i'd love to buy for ultimus, but the lack of money at the moment has not allowed me to do so.

I think the worst day of it all was on nate's birthday. I had just spent the last of the money i had saved up from my job, a few weeks earlier on gas, and was unable to get him the birthday present i really wanted to. I ended up getting him something else and he said he liked it, but in my head my original idea was going to be great. I could see his reaction and how happy he would have been and i felt really bad that i wasn't able to get it for him. I have a plan that i'm already working on to get it for him for christmas b/c i know he will just love it and i just want to see his reaction when he opens it.

On a much happier and positive note: Things with Nate and I are going so well. I find myself falling more and more in love with him everyday, and I miss him now more than ever when he's not around. I keep hoping the first time that i feel the baby kick he will be around to experience it so that he doesn't feel left out, b/c i really would hate it if he's feeling that way. I know we don't have the most ideal situation, what with me being at home in Huntersville and him being 45 minutes away down in Bessemer City, but we are making it work. I try to get down there as much as can, especially now, b/c i find i sleep better when he's next to me at night, and i'm also loving his company and miss him when he's not around. He's done so much for me and I don't know how lucky i got to find such a great guy. He's so caring and sweet. He knows how to cheer me up when i'm feeling blue. How to push my buttons and drive me crazy, yet still somehow manage to make me fall more in love with him every day. He's a one of a kind guy and I'm proud to say he's mine. I may not always show it and sometimes i might seem like it's an annoyance, but i'm so thankful for everyday we are able to spend together. I couldn't ask for a better guy to be raising a child with. I have no doubt he's going to make a great father and I can't wait until october when we can both start in our new roles as mom and dad. :)

On a different, and slightly more comedic note, I'm finding myself to be more and more scatterbrained as the weeks go by. Normally i'm already clumsy and a bit of a ditz, but these days it's getting so much worse. I have found myself mid sentence talking and completely forgetting what it is that i'm saying, or where i was going with the point i was trying to make. It's kind of funny, but also very annoying at times. Not to mention I am slowly losing my ability to multi-task. I used to be able to carry on conversations, watch tv, and be on the computer at the same time and be fully aware of what was going on in each area, but now it's like impossible. In fact, i just had to leave the theater room where my cousin was watching tv b/c i kept getting distracted and was unable to think clearly to finish writing this blog post. I also have found myself mixing up my words in my sentence order. For example if i was trying to say, "the dog just crossed the road," it would some how come out of my mouth as, "road just crossed the dog." How sad is that?! It's to the point where the person will know what i'm trying to say, but at the same time will have to re-order everything just to understand me. haha!

Oh man I just finished reading over this and adding and taking away from it, and right before i posted it my computer died. I was flipping out b/c i was thinking "oh man, if this crap didn't save, and i have to re-write all of this i'm going to be sooo angry." But thankfully it was all here, so no anger needed.

Were having tacos for dinner tonight, mom left to go to work, and put me and katie in charge. I'm okay with that, with the exception that i can't cook ground beef right now b/c the smell of it makes me want to throw up. I told my dad what the plan for dinner was and then told him he had to cook the ground beef because i couldn't and katie didn't know how to.

Oh, speaking of, my cousin katie has been staying with us for the past week or so, and it has been nice to have her around. Though I do wish lisa was back, b/c i miss her not being here. Lisa and katie are two different people. For example, i can talk to my sister about sex, (not that i do, but if i wanted to it wouldn't be akward), Katie however i wouldn't talk to b/c that would be weird. Not to mention Lisa and katie are on totally different mind sets. Katie is still in the high school mindset and dealing with home drama and friends drama, which is fine, but i miss being able to talk to lisa about relationships and moving in with people and the whole topic of "more adult things." Katie has been fun to have around, but there's only so much we can do. We've played just about every game in the house, she's finished up her "project" and we've even worked on a puzzle. It's been fun, but i'm getting to the point where i'm tired of feeling like i need to entertain her. I want to be able to just sit in my room and tune everybody out for 2 hours and not feel like i'm leaving her sitting there bored out of her mind. That's another reason why i'm hoping lisa will come hom soon. She has been in wilmington since like the 1st or 2nd of july b/c she wanted to spend the 4th with steve. I totally understand her wanting to stay longer b/c she misses him and hasn't been away from him for more than like a week since they basically started going out. She was going to come back this past weekend, but decided to push her stay out until thursday or friday. I really hope she's home thursday but i wouldn't blame her if she didn't come back until friday. As long as she is here for my baby shower on saturday i will be okay. If she stays in wilmington and misses it, i will be very sad.

We are going to go ohio for four or five days near the end of the month to take katie home and go pick up bee at my grandparents house. I'm looking forward to getting away and having something different to do, but at the same time, it's going to suck b/c i'm going to be so far away from nathan and i'm going to miss him like crazy. I already miss him and i just saw him this morning before he left to go to work. Idk, call me weird but i'm ready to start our own daily routine where he's up and gone to work and i'm watching the baby and then have dinner and hugs and kisses for him when he returns home from work. I want to be able to spoil him and get to spend as much time with him as i can......nathan says i'm being clingy, but i don't look at it that way. To me it's more of how i show him i love him, by spending as much time with him as i can and missing him when he's not around. So i say, call it clingy, call it crazy, call it what you will, but i'm going to call it love, b/c, gosh darnit, i love that boy so much! :)
