Queen of Rambles

I made a huge mistake yesterday. I was sweaty and gross and decided that my new method of pimple control had to be ignored for the night. I washed my face before bed and now I have three huge zits that are driving me insane. Every night when I don’t wash my face I cringe. [...]

We got it! We got it! Now I’m not sure if I want it! Why do I have a feeling of sickness in the pit of my stomach? I just don’t do well with change. Heck, even in the month or two prior to moving back to the US I felt totally sick about it [...]

The new session of water aerobics started tonight and it was Not Good. We had a substitute that made us all really appreciate our regular teacher. We knew it would be bad when we were all standing around at the time it was supposed to start, wondering just where on earth the teacher was. I [...]

I went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants today. No one told me it was sad. I sat there with tears streaming down my face for a good part of the movie. I was just glad that I was alone and the theatre was almost empty. It was a pretty good movie, even though [...]

I have fun confusing my husband. When he woke up this morning, I was staring at him, just waiting to ask the burning question that had kept me up all night. “Do you have any ugly relatives?” Last night I became obsessed with knowing what our child will look like and was trying to calculate [...]

I can’t wait to get away from this apartment complex. The last few days at about 2 pm (the time the school busses would be getting home since it was early release all week) someone has been jangling my door knob and banging on my door. Three guesses as to who it is. Obviously I [...]

I think something has snapped in my brain today. I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy or lack of sleep, but I have been a complete dingbat today and am surprised I didn’t kill myself while out on the road. After my early morning sewing session I managed to go back to sleep for a [...]

It’s amazing how quickly I can get out of sync with sleep. It’s 6:16 in the morning and I’ve already made an almost complete quilt top this morning. Granted, it’s just a baby quilt and it was a SUPER SUPER SUPER easy pattern and I didn’t press my seams open, but I’ve made a quilt [...]

I really need to get a job this summer. If I’m not working, I’m out spending money. I try not to and I don’t buy that many frivolous things. In fact, most people would think we live a downright frugal existence. We don’t buy videos, computer games, high end techno stuff, or much of anything [...]

I wanted to write a deep and meaningful blog entry today, but I started coughing up shards of glass last night and couldn’t sleep at all. My night went something like this: cough cough babykick babykick gas pains cough roll over wipe sweat off neck and boobies cough babykick cough cough gas pains baby kick [...]
