I Was Not Raptured

I realize that I have been more than a little lax in my postings lately. I still insist upon my pregnancy excuse. I also insist everyone who reads this blog be understanding and love me anyway, and still come to my blog and re-read everything I ever wrote, because I am hilarious and entertaining. And who would not want to re-read everything I write anyway?

That said, I wanted to check in and let everyone know that I was not raptured at the appointed time. Granted, neither was anyone else. But since I am extra uber special, I figured I should personally let everyone know that I was, in fact, not raptured either.

So, what's new with me, you ask? Other than my continually expanding belly (to the point where people look shocked when I say I am not due until October), not much is new - which explains my lack of new posts.

I will, however, tell you that I'm finding out whether Number 3 is a boy or girl just one week from today. This is exciting news for many reasons, not the least of which is that I get to finally start narrowing down the name selection.

So far for a girl I am thinking either Helga, Petunia (matches Ivy and Violet), Bambi, or Gretchen (was there a Garbage Pail Kid in the 80's called Retchin' Gretchen??) ... Oh yeah, there was - here it is:




And for a boy, how about: Bob, Cornelius, Basil (again, plant theme!), Barnabas, or Angus.
Or Macgyver. I'm just sayin'.

What say you?

    Since I know you're joking (and I'm 90% sure you are) I have no opinion on the names :) HOWEVER, I do have an opinion about your lack of posting - personally, having never been pregnant, I feel 100% OK with saying "SUCK IT UP PREGGERS!" ;) ... Of course I am 99.9% kidding - I just miss reading all your fun and witty blog entries :p

    Also, I've been doing a lot of research for my administrative credential and therefore, 98.6% of my day to day conversation has been ruled by percentages ... at least that's what my research shows.

    You are 99.999% correct about me joking regarding the names, and I am 100% entertained by your percentages, LOL...

    I choose Bambi or Basil. And, in case you discover twins next week --- both! This will work for boy-girl twins or girl-girl twins, but I don't recommend trying to get Bambi to work for a boy. If it's boy-boy twins, then Basil and Bartholomew (for your plant theme and for the apostle).

    For the record, I was not raptured either...Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the Bible clearly state that ONLY God the Father knows when The Rapture will happen?

    On another note, I am 100% entertained by your blogging!

    Further, I'm gonna throw some curve balls (2, to be precise) into your naming mix: Grant (boy) and Rosemary (obviously, girl).

    Hm, I like your suggestions, Edgar! PS - I am glad you weren't raptured either (yet). ;)

How to Look Like a Rock Star

Image
Having a baby and being exhausted a lot of the time makes me feel really old and decrepit. Sometimes I see a picture of myself and I am surprised by how young I look, simply because I feel so old. And something about feeling old makes me want to at least fake youthfulness. In fact, I think this is what you call a mid-life crisis. Or a mid-childbearing crisis. I don't want to be matronly. I don't want to be called "Ma'am". I want to be youthful and be called "Miss". Sure, the correct term for a married woman with 3 children is "Ma'am". But I am throwing convention to the wind here because I pretty much want to pretend. I want to get hip. Be cool again (ok, I've never actually been cool, but I did say this was for pretends). So I took a little trip down to the fantastic Euphoria Salon for some  help. Here is before, at home with the baby. Clearly something needs to be done with those split ends either way. Soooo.... let's cho...

How to Battle Caffeine Addiction

How can you battle caffeine addiction? Um, you tell me because I have no idea and I've been struggling hard against becoming addicted to caffeine. Heck, I even struggle against the idea of needing something like caffeine to get through my day. But the truth is that caffeine is like having a secret mommy superpower. Caffeine makes me brave. Caffeine makes me want to live my life to the fullest. I can accomplish things when I have had coffee. It...dare I say it? It makes me a better person. For example, when getting ready to go to the park with the kids, I normally just throw whatever on myself and the kids, and walk out the door. But when I have had coffee it makes me do crazy things like care about our appearance.   And, because I am nursing my 2 month old, she can also accomplish amazing things. When I have had coffee, I can do a million things at once - like clean everything while talking on the phone with caffeine-less friends, nurse the baby , and just about anythin...

Costco Pusher

Image
Since our family has been growing larger I have been getting increasing pressure from family and friends to shop at Costco. Everyone wants me to go there. And they aren't shy about getting their Coscto-lovin' feelings across to me. I literally cannot get through an entire visit with my mom without the topic of Costco coming up. Usually, she tries to get me to take a trip there with her by insisting there is something there that she really, really needs. Even though she is only in town for 48 hours. And I always find an excuse of why I cannot possibly go, or why my pantry and toilet paper is completely stocked to capacity. Because the truth is.... I. Hate. Costco. There, I said it.  Before you delete my blog out of your favorites (my blog is in your favorites, isn't it??) let me tell you why I despise it so. It is for many justifiable reasons. Such as the enormity of the place, the crowds, the hugeness of the bulk items, the crowds, the massive scale of the stor...
