Sneak Peek Just for You

When I say that I’m ready for baby Ruby (yes – we finally settled on a name), what I mean is, I’m third pregancy ready. Translation: I’m one step above throwing a blanket and pillow in a dresser drawer and calling it a bassinet.

After my long, drawn out post last week about how the meaning of “ready” has been different for me each and every pregnancy, I thought I’d paint you a picture. I broke out the water colors, painted a stick figure on some construction paper and immediately realized that I’m a much better writer than I am painter.

Thank God for technology.

So, without further adieu, here’s a sneak peek at baby Ruby’s room.

Side note: Yes, I realize that my voice sounds like a 13 year old boy just entering puberty on video. Deal.

This Will Require a Few More Lunges

I heart you, Target lady.

Are your running shoes out, workout pants hung and knee pads left by the door? Do you have a low-trafficked newspaper stand targeted for early Thanksgiving morning to get your hot little hands on the sizzling deals? Car filled with gas? City map ready in your glove box for easy maneuvering and emergency shortcut options in Black Friday traffic-hell?

Well, get on it.

I hope you’re not tired of me talking about the single most important day of the year yet. I mean Black Friday, of course. Alright, so maybe not the SINGLE most important day of the year. There is Valentines day, which typically comes with at least 3 boxes of chocolate truffles and some of those scrumptious red and white sour gummy hearts. I think my thoughts and I just shared a moment of extreme pleasure. Don’t worry, I practice safe sex. Says the pregnant lady.

It’s only Monday and my adrenaline is already at an ultimate high. My blood is pumping so hard I’d probably just bleed out if I got pricked with a pin. Nothing to concern yourself over folks, I can’t sew. For the love of rainbow striped toe socks and half off plasma TV’s, I’m about to explode! Just sayin’.

Those of you that know me – The volumptuous, big busted, long legged, small waisted me – Also known as “Internet Me”, know that I don’t do promotional posts. Not to say that I wouldn’t consider doing one if I absolutely fell in LOVE with a product and if I get a shit ton of free stuff out of the deal, I’m just not keen to the idea of working for a free TV Dinner.

What I’m trying to say is: Target didn’t give me shit for this.

Most. Annoying. Toy. Ever.

You know the toys that make you question your entire reason for existence? Every time their screeching voices, obnoxious singing, or flashing lights play, your ears begin to bleed and suddenly you find yourself dreaming about being in the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Only, you’re running TOWARD the guy with the chainsaw while waving a white flag? You know – The ones that keep Prozac and Zoloft selling like red licorice ropes and bubble gum at a Dodgers game.

Here is why the makers of Prozac love me.

OMG, we should totally be, like, BFF’s! Follow me on Twitter and find me on Facebook. I don’t even ask that you call first.
