Crazy runs amok and gnome entanglements
This morning we had to take my car in to get the ac fixed ($930.... OUCH)(especially when I thought it just needed a freon charge)(wrong), and we were talking as he was driving me into work. Apparently last night I got up to go to the bathroom and when I walked back to the bed I shook Travis' foot he said "what, huh?" I said "what, huh, what?" he said "what do you want" I said "nothing, go back to bed". After that he couldnt get back to sleep, he went to the living room to watch tv, and came back a couple hours later and found, when he laid down, the tv remote from the bedside table. That is on my side. And I was sleeping. I have NO clue about ANY of this. Usually I remember getting up to go to the bathroom, but I didnt even remember that! The crazy seeps into my sleep. Usually it causes halucinations, but not this time, just doing crazy stuff. Poor poor Travis.
And, I forgot to post this the other night, we gals got together at Perkins last Wednesday night, and Dani passed Gnomebert on to Tracie who will be taking him to Convention. While at Perkins, Gnomebert got himself entangled in some yarn - NO, I didnt do it! However, I did take a pic! Sorry for the blurry... I couldnt figure out macro on my camera.
Nothing exciting on the babyville calendar except ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!
Sorry, I got nothin
Um, I worked on mom's sweater at lunch yesterday, and the sock at home. I made schnitzel and I forgot the leftovers - guess i'll have them for supper. Watched Treasure Hunters, went to bed. So exciting, I know!
Did I tell you I got tickets to an Afternoon With Kevin Smith on 9/23? I'm excited about that, since I love Kevin Smith!!! I leave for Convention in 2 weeks, and I'd say i'm 95% ready - which is a good thing. I find out if its a boy or girl in 8 days - which is a VERY good thing. SOOOO excited. I hope they give me printouts and not just the video tape... I want to be able to show you something.
Sorry for the boring, there's just nothing new to tell. Cheers, and I hope you're life is more exciting.
Whoops - forgot babyville
I keep doing that! But in my defense it's usually only when i've been fighting with Blogger and Blogger is winning. Anyway...
19 wks LMP - baby is 8.47 ounces or 240 grams and 6.02 inches or 15.3 cm long!
How exciting... and in 9 days i'll know if it's a boy or girl! yeah!
Names so far are:
Sean Joseph
Katherine Mae (Katie Mae for short) or Emily Katherine... that one's still kinda up in the air.
Jakey and Aliceon sittin in a tree...
I told this story to my mom and she insisted I post it here... ostensibly so she can share with her friends, but thats ok, it really was cute.
So last Sunday we went to Hans and Kerry's place, you remember - the crocheted goodness and the almost tears and hats and scarves? Well while we were there, Tracie and I were sitting on the couch, Kerry on the rocker, Travis and Hans chatting about firearms I'm sure, in the kitchen, the kids playing in the playroom. There is a hallway right behind where the couch is that leads to the stairs that lead to the playroom. From behind us, Tracie, Kerry and I hear Jake say "Do you want to kiss?". I say "Nooooo." Aliceon "It's ok." "Noooo" from me. Jake says "But I'm going to marry Aliceon", Hans and I say "then you can wait until you're married to kiss". Hysterical really and it took all of my might not to bust out laughing. Tracie was [-] this close to gigglefits.
I remembered one of the first conversations Hans and I had when we reunited after a 14 year absence. He was telling me about his girls, and of course I told him about Jake, and they were both 4 at the time. Hans says they'll be great friends and get married someday. Ok, sure. Now I wonder if he was being profetic or just weird. They are both insanely adorable and would probably make cute kids... just sayin.
A mini-montage of Aliceon and Jake:
PS: I really need to work on getting photoshop on this computer. I tried to put their faces on a little bride and groom clipart thing but failed. Maybe someday I'll be hip with the techmology.
I dont have second sock syndrom !
Well, maybe just a little, teensy, weensy bit. BUT I can be redeemed. I cast on the 2nd sock from the Patons Grace that I started on our anniversary trip. In May. Whoops! I am 3 rounds in and I will work on that while I watch the game, here by myself because of boy bits. But that's ok, really. No really. I'll play online, work on my sock and eat.
I did my toes, instead of going to get a feeticure because this is cheaper. My baby toe has a teeny little nail and looks funky but oh well, nothing i can do about it.
I went to the store and got some TGI Friday's spinach artichoke dip for dinner tonight. YUMMMMMO.
Mom's sweater is taking a while... and so I dont throw it, I'm doing the sock. I did 14 rows and it measured 3.5 inches. ??????! Its gonna take forever, maybe she'll get it NEXT Christmas. Dont even ask about the flag.
Would you like a project update?
American Flag Afghan - 17 stars done (of 46, plus 6 half motifs, plus the stripes)
Baby going home outfit - booties done, hat about half done - knit in jamie baby
Grace khaki socks - 1 & 3/1,ooo done (maybe not quite that much to go, but still, it's knit)
Moms sweater - 14 rows of 82 plus 5 sets of "next rows continue in established pattern" and who knows how much that is.
That's it for now suppose. Cheers.
Crazy-cat-ville & Playing with baby
I have known all along that my cat was a little, um, crazy at times. Those times being in at 3am, but crazy. Last night I heard the rustling of plastic coming from the dining room, I head in there and we have a little pop-up boxy “tent” thing for him to be in – and in the bottom of his house… the bag of catnip. Now please know that the cat nip usually resides on the upper shelf of the Sideboard (think Microwave cart w/ the top thing but longer). Last night, however, it was residing on the kitchen counter and I didn’t know why. I figured it was because Travis found it on the floor and put it up on the counter “away from the cat”… yeah right! And I could tell by the hole in the bag that it was time to put him in kitty-rehab so I threw it away. Travis was up this morning with me so I told him about it and told him to throw away the scratching post (the useless because he has no nails scratching post) because that is what the catnip was for. And we wonder why he’s so crazy… he really is a pot head! Moving on.
Last night as I was laying on my back waiting to fall asleep I felt the baby kick. And when it happened again, I had my hand on my belly and I could feel it from the outside! I was terribly excited, and I poked back, and got another kick. But that was it, even after I poked again. But it was neat that now it can be felt by someone other than me (not that anyone was home at the time, or that it works when I’m not laying on my back, but still).
Babyville: (from yesterday because… I forgot) What was I doing? Forgetfulness is a common occurrence in pregnancy. Try making lists to remind yourself of your tasks. This is normal and the tension it causes usually just makes it worse. Today: If you haven’t felt movement yet, remember it varies from woman to woman.
