My guys

polling

Sometime in late October, we’ll have the ultrasound to find out if baby #2 is a boy or girl. But in the meantime, here’s a poll to see what your guess is! Here’s the poll, and it’s also going to be housed at the right** left of this page, and probably on my MySpace.

POLL*

*Edit- The poll’s there on your right **left.  It wouldn’t let me have it both in the post and in the sidebar.  Weird.  But go vote anyway!

**Edit- When I add things to the sidebar, I work on the right of the screen.  It puts it on the left.  I’m not competely daft, just a little slow.

what belly?

Okay, so a few of you have asked about my lack of belly pictures this pregnancy.  Some of you will remember having such pictures thrust upon you when I was pregnant with Sam (:-)), meticulously taken every week.  Well, we have been taking them.  And at first I wasn’t posting them because I just looked pudgey, not pregnant.  And lately I’ve been not posting them because I look way pregnanter (it could be a word) than I am.  I’m 15, almost 16 weeks, and I look a solid 20.  But enough excuses… the full bunch of pictures are in the album in Picasa (there’s a Slideshow button right above the pics, great fun)… here are a few highlights for your amusement. 

looks like a big difference already, but it’s a combination of fun early preg bloat, and the fact that my heels are touching the wall & weren’t in the first.

And on a completely different topic… we’re less than 24 hours from the Grey’s Anatomy premiere.  Yay! 

Beautiful flowers from wonderful hubby, just cause!

Falling falling

Finally!  Today, the 22nd of September, is the first day of Autumn.  No no, don’t look at your thermometer… just because it still says it’s 86 degrees means nothing.  The calendar doesn’t lie.

This is also “stay at home week”, according to ABC.  Most of the networks seem to be all for it though, since this is the week just about all the new fall shows start.

Tonight- Heroes & Dancing with the Stars join Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles

Tuesday: DwtS again, NCIS starts and House

Wednesday: nothing here till Oct. 1st, then Private Practice

Thursday: Grey’s Anatomy!!!

Friday: This Friday we have the Presidential Debate on all the main channels, but other than that nothing Fridays till The Starter Wife starts Oct. 10th

We’re thinking we may cancel our Netflix for the duration of the TV season.  We’ve fallen off the wagon lately anyway, and now we won’t have much time.

Had a nice weekend with the in-laws, doing an early celebration of Kyle’s 18th bday (which is the 26th).  Sam did pretty well on the drive there, but the last hour of the drive back got a little hairy.

Oh, I have a write in question to answer.  Melanie wanted to know if I get Christmas-ed out by December, what with starting in August and all.  To tell the truth, if I try to quash the spirit when it hits me early, sometimes I don’t get it back when the actual holidays roll around.  Had a bit of that trouble last year.  So I’m keeping it alive this year, by golly!  But I enjoy the whole time leading up to Christmas so much, it works for me to make it longer.  I’m one of the folks that rejoices when the department stores set up their Christmas areas.  Can’t have enough Christmas for me, no sir!  And even though I’m all about the countdowns, as you may have noticed, I don’t actually want Christmas to come, once the season’s started.  Cause then it’s just over, and that’s a bummer.  I totally feel for the Peanuts cast when they complain of Post-Holiday-letdown.

So no, I don’t get Christmas-ed out.  (I will get Halloween-ed out, by the scary movies and ick- not my favorite stuff. I just want the candy please!)

That’s it for now boys and girls.  Enjoy your week of tube time, I know I will.  (well, depending how the whole Derek & Meredith stuff goes… have you see the promo??)

99!

99 days till Christmas, AND the temperature is less than 99!  (81 at the moment)  To celebrate, here’s one of my favorite Christmas specials…  Garfield!

Countdown update

Just thought I’d let everyone know we’re nearing 100 days till Christmas.    (that’s 16 shopping Saturdays!)

And only 50 until you guys are a bit more spirited yourselves. 

pics

After Ryan got some snaffus ironed out on our picture sharing, I’ve been able to add some new pictures to the August and Sept. Picasa albums… including some super cute ones (in Aug) of Sam in his big boy pjs…

sticky like tape

In The Dark Knight, they have hostages with guns taped to their hands, tape over their mouths, and masks over that- intent that you can’t tell they’re the hostages and not the hostage-takers.  There is another movie that has this same thing going on, but we can’t think of what it is!  Help please???
