9 weeks down, 215 days to go.....

I can't believe that I'm over 9 weeks along! My husband and I are very excited about our upcoming bundle and just can't refrain from telling people. So, it's official, we are starting to tell more people now, because I'm almost 10 weeks and it's safe to say that things will continue progress normally.

And for the most part, this pregnancy has been normal, for those women who get to enjoy the morning sickness at all hours of the day. I continue to fight my battle with food and finding something that won't make me sick. I'm so nervous that people are work are going to start thinking that I'm bulimic! After every meal, run to the bathroom. Feel like crap for a few hours then feel hungry again! I try to eat as healthy as possible, but nothing at this point even tastes good....except fried food! The warm juices of a hamburger dripping down my throat just makes me sit in pure calmness. Now ask me in 10 minutes how I feel and it will be a different story. My new favorite thing right now is boneless buffalo wings/chicken. The mildly spicy buffalo sauce sears the lips just for a moment, then pure bliss when you dip the wing into the cool ranch dressing, followed by a crisp celery stick. Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G So, as you can tell, I haven't been eating healthy lately but at least I'm getting my protein right?!?

We put our house on the market a few weeks ago and have had a few showings, but no offers. I would love to get this house sold and move into something bigger with more living space. Don't get me wrong, I love where we live now, but I'm ready for a change and ready for more space. And I'm ready to not have to eat out all the time so we don't make a mess in the kitchen the night before a showing.

Other than being nauseous and throwing up from time to time things have been going well. I'm starting to get tired, but I just started working full shifts again. Before this I would only work a day or so then have 5 days off before I would work again. It's nice getting back into a routine, but after 4 days of 12 hour shifts I'm ready for some R & R. One of my partners let me borrow a few movies, so while the hubby is hard at work this weekend, I will be camping out in front of the tv watching, "Saturday Night Fever," "Stayin' Alive" and "Into the Wild."

Happy Friday everyone!!!

True Happiness

If I actually had real followers on here I might get some feedback on what truly makes you happy? Think about it......how many people can honestly say they are TRULY happy. And if you say, "Yes" I want to know your secret. Everyone has a bad day or two or a shitty situation that they wished they hadn't had to go through. But I do believe there are really, actual happy people out there, And I used to be one of them, Or maybe I was just young and naive at the time as well. The paths we take, the experiences we make, and the people we meet will all contribute to happiness. But I also think that there are too many people out there who aren't happy but aren't willing to take the steps to find out what it is that is making them unhappy and then make the change. For my instance, I have been jumping from job to job thinking that I was missing out on utilizing my creativity that I love so much.  I didn't like the daily task of data entry and poor work environment...

How's My Wave?

As I was driving back from Minneapolis after picking up friends from the airport at 6AM, I was trying to stay awake and read the billboards as I was making the treck up to wonderful Moorhead Minnesota. There really isn't anything amazing to look at besides words on signs after Fergus Falls. However, as I neared Barnsville, and noting (only 30 more miles) a sign on the left side of the I-94 caught my attention. There was Cenex sign, with a 3-D Cenex man waving at those passing by with a speech bubble " How's my waving?" And then a number followed 1-877-CHAT. Now, I have no idea what the purpose of this billboard is. I have been contemplating this for the entire weekend. Is it brand recognition? A friendly hello? The billboard itself isn't selling anything, but it does catch the drivers eye. Whoever designed this billboard was creative, but I'm still confused as to what the object of this billboard is. Do they really want people to call and 'chat...
