Go Go Gadget

The other day I had to do something I didn't want to do... and I had to be a big girl about it... but that didn't make me want to do it. I thought I was pretty funny because I sent my mom a text and all it said was, "Go Go Gadget Big Girl Panties." I can remember at about this same time in my pregnancy with Big, that I got to the point where I was kind of tired about being a big girl about stuff and was tired of having a good attitude and not complaining about anything. Not that complaining would actually help - I've found it only makes me more miserable (not to mention all those around me)... but I think it would be fantastic if I could just say, "Go Go Gadget Big Girl Panties" and they'd poof out of thin air and help me be a good sport for just a little while longer (38 days to be exact).

We Have a Winner!

Welcome sweet JL's little sis, Bekah! She's kindly offered up her prize to her big sis... and I'm guessing (because I know how she loves books) that she might be a little sad that she did. It's a $15 (for the 15th follower) Amazon.com gift card. Won't that be fun?!? I LOVE Amazon.com. I order all sorts of stuff from there not to mention keep my book collection growing! I love that it usually arrives at my house the next day... and because I keep forgetting to cancel my Amazon Prime, I get "free" shipping. I say "free" because I pay once a year for the membership, but I order so much (including two Britax car seats which were delivered with that "free" shipping and actually would have cost me in shipping the same as my membership). Anyway! I'm so glad to have that little spot filled over there. Thanks Bekah!!

Just One More.

Ok... So, I feel like I've been a total blog-slacker, but I need a favor... I've been told, "Oh, I read your blog all the time" and I don't see it... anyway, the favor is this: let's all take a look over there to the right where my friends who read me are listed in their cute little thumbnail photos. See? There's this lonely spot there where the 15th reader belongs. Now, usually something like an empty spot wouldn't really bother me, but it has been like that for a loooonnnnngggg time. I'm thinking there might be something in it for that 15th follower. So, if you've been out there lurking and reading anonymously, this is your time to shine. Be brave and step forward. It's my first giveaway. (And, be sure to leave a comment - otherwise, I'm not sure how to tell that you were my 15th follower.)

Up a Creek.

I think I just feel the need to vent... but it isn't something one should necessarily blog about... so maybe I'll just post a few random sentences/thoughts... and overuse my ellipses... you know - these fun little sets of three periods at the end of every thought... for sure my favorite punctuation... I like that it shows I'm not quite finished with what I'm saying or that I'm at least thinking...

So, what upsets me most is that I'm upset. The person who made me upset is not even a part of my life, but when that person doesn't do what she is supposed to do, it is upsetting to me. But, like I said, it upsets me more that I let it upset me. ... See? Now I feel better.
