Nothin’ to plunder..

Ok.. I’m so ready to move. I spent a good portion of tonight scrubbing the bathroom.. and it still looks dirty. I’m over it. To hell with this apartment. I can’t wait till we’re in our little place. It will be so much easier on me for one.. since I won’t have to bring stuff over for in the morning, or leave to come back to my place to get ready for work. Plus, super bonus- I’ll always get to sleep next to the boy. Anyway.. I’ve been dreaming alot about water, swimming, sunshine, movement in general. I love those dreams. I get to go anywhere in the world and right now, with the hormones- the dreams are lifelike. I actually feel the wave, or the water, or the sun… … Read entire article »

The Vent

Ok… just so you know, outside of being tired, I’m in a great mood. However, if I don’t get this off my chest, there’s a good chance I might kick the next business owner in the shin. SO… I’m in marketing. My specialty is consultive marketing. What sets me apart from alot of others, is that I really do fucking care if your business succeeds. I find real joy in it. However, by the time I show up on the scene, and try and connect with said business owner, they treat me as if there the king of england and I’m simply some bum that wandered in. Granted.. I know that sales is a tough job, I get it… I know that my downfall has always been that I’m too … Read entire article »

Meh..

I roamed around alot this weekend. For the most part, I adventured by mahself. Which was nice actually.. I’ve had alot on my mind, and it’s the quiet times that allow me the freedom to think things all the way through. I played in the park alot this weekend, which was nice. I didn’t realize how cooped up I felt until I actually got out into a wide open space and ran around like a little kid. Which, for what it’s worth, is exactly what I still feel like. Which is why it’s hard to wrap my noggin around the fact that I’m creating one of my own as we speak. Today marks the 9th week… and aside from some intense bouts of moodiness, and a random outbreak of acne … Read entire article »

The truth.. you can’t handle the truth

ha… great quote. Anyway… alot’s been on my mind lately. So this here might be the tangent to end all tangents. Which is saying alot considering I’m the rambling queen. Anyway… so today I’m 8 weeks and 3 days along. Which is actually really exciting for me. Lately I’ve been so focused on other things that I kinda forget about what’s happening with me as a person…. today I was reminded of it, when I had a crazed surge of hormones that rendered me totally irrational and lacking in self-confidence. Thankfully, I’m blessed with amazing girlfriends, who have all gone through this before.. so they walked me through it. The lack of self-confidence was a bitch of a moment for me, since normally.. I believe I’m pretty cool, somedays I look … Read entire article »

Seriously.. I hate GA

So, in the midst of what is, quite possibly, the most loving and happiest time of my life… I can’t seem to shake the Georgia funk. By the funk I simply meant the way that the average consumer here, has zero protection. Both my bank and my car insurance companies randomly decide to change policies or increase rates without so much as a how-do-you-do. Not to mention the nightmare of a gym situation. It just reminds me of that Friends episode where Chandler keeps shouting “I just want to quit the gym!” Great episode. Anyway… I’ll spare all the details, but just let it be know, that currently I’m super angry at my car insurance. Hence the need to vent. While I’m at it.. I might as well say that … Read entire article »

still here

So, I’m moving into my 7th week as of today, and I have to say- either I’m a freak of nature, or I’m one of the lucky few… very little morning sickness, few mood swings, a relatively low amount of weight gain, my energy levels bounce around all over the place, but I honestly think that my body went more into shock from the total 180 I pulled. I stopped drinking, smoking and loosened up my traditionally strict diet. I think in response to that, and the growing amount of hormones & little one…. my body didn’t know what the hell was going on. So either I’m sneaking through the first trimester under the radar of aforementioned side effects…… or it’s waiting in the wings to pounce on me when … Read entire article »

So Weird

“From week 6 to week 10 of your pregnancy, you will be in the embryonic period. This is a very important time of development for your baby and the embryo is most susceptible to experience developmental interferences at this time. Although the embryo is still very small, it is growing and developing rapidly. Your baby’s early brain chambers are forming and the eyes are also beginning to form. Buds will appear and will develop into arms and legs in later weeks.” The brain, the heart and the eyes are forming. What a weird concept. I also read, that at this point, the eye color and the hair color are already determined. Judging from me and zee man, I’m gonna guess dark hair and light eyes. When I stop thinking about all … Read entire article »
