reality bites

*i've decided that since i like movies so much, i'll be using them for post titles more often.*

moving on....

35 weeks.

i told myself that i would keep up with this blog, but it seems that i've run into the old saying of 'there aren't enough hours in a day'. and for me to say something like that is surprising considering i average 5-6 hrs of sleep. sitting down to gather my thoughts as well as organize a post the way i want will only cut more into that beauty sleep...which i SO desperately need. on top of that, my iMac mouse SUCKS, which just makes me despise posting pictures -- MR, hook a brotha up!

here's a quick roundup of what's been going on:

u should know by now that i love to make lists. and for goodness sakes, it helps me get sh*t done. i get it from my mom. my june list to-do list consisted of a lot of room prep at my parents house...which consisted of the massive disposal of old textbooks/binders, college paystubs, high school mums (which HM wanted me to keep for some reason), and a lot of ex girlfriend memorabilia....HM snickers at my cheesiness. it also reemphasized my dislike for painting...

july coasted by extremely fast. i'm not sure if it's because it was budget season at work or the fact that HM had to work massive hours and i hardly saw her. this time, i had to start doing prep at our own place. thanks CC for the help! i actually didn't get to finish most of these until the end of the month...

at the beginning of this month, my work threw HM and i a baby shower. its seems our building has something in the water because i know of 3-4 other showers coming up. our green decor is contagious..... (i forgot to tell them zoey is spelled with a Y!)

HM told me that people at work must really like me. i asked her why she would say something like that?! she didn't think that workplaces gave showers for men.....and didn't expect much other than to meet some people and maybe open a few gifts. our intake so far made her a little giddy...

..and now we are almost into mid august. 5 weeks left to go and had a Dr appt today which went well. baby C/baby Z is still in the 14th percentile in weight, but HM is steadily gaining slowly. what u don't see in the picture below is all the handwritten 'extra' stuff that has come up...

and as if my list wasn't extensive enough, HM came up with another to-do item for me LATE last week...

yes folks, my nemesis. the only thing fun about painting (if there is anything) is test swatches. u get to splatter a few spots here and there and don't have to worry about messing things up. heck, my dog could do it...

speaking of dogs, i had to do some patch spackling from the friction of ol' peanut's cage against the wall. i actually don't mind this kind of work. i'm not very good at it, but if i mess up, i just sand it and start over!

working hard or hardly working? u can decide. u can't see my facial expression below, but i'm sure it looked something like this. i still haven't completed touching up, so no finished photos yet.

even after all the dreaded work and running around i did today, i still managed to find time to make some baked chicken before HM got off her 13 hr shift! gotta make time to eat, people!


it's now way past my bedtime... gnight.
