I really, reallly, REALLY like watching t.v.

Currently we only have free antenna channels, online t.v. episodes, and Netflix. We will shortly be loosing one of these options. It rhymns with "set chicks." I'm pretty disappointed that they are raising their rates by almost double in September. Grandma Racine says that I am "protesting with my pocketbook." I feel good about this. If I suddenly doubled my hair salon prices and didn't offer any better service, I'm sure a lot of people would go somewhere else. I wouldn't blame them either. It is pretty ridiculous.

Anyway....this opens up an interesting possibility for our household. We (myself and baby...) are thinking about getting satellite. I want to wait and see how busy I can keep myself without it, but the long winter days might be too much to handle and I might need a supplemental form of entertainment.

I'll have to see.

Enough with the television talk.


These tools have been on my office floor for two days while the I.T. guy tries to fix my computer. It has been a very boring time at work. My computer was so broken that I couldn't even log-on to play solitaire. He is done now so that is why I can blog again (yes...I blog at work. Don't judge me until you have my job and just sit here all day...).

Observe this hummer:

The lady that drives this hummer was in the check out line ahead of me at the grocery store. She was wearing Rock and Republic jeans (expensive!), used WIC and her Food Stamps debit card to pay for her groceries, and then went out to load them in the afore mentioned vehicle. 

I'm glad that my husband and myself both work full-time and pay TONS of taxes to help those "less fortunate" to survive.....

Coming down off my soap box.

Speaking of the hubby:

This picture is really bad and white-washed, but I mostly just wanted to show you Ryan's headpiece. That would be my headband. He decided that he wanted to wear it and then he just fell asleep like this. I couldn't resist taking a picture! I never would have thought that the incredible hunky "Hot Stuff Stubbs" that I met almost 3 years ago would someday be sleeping next to me wearing my headband :) You just never know where life is going to take you!


Okay-a few exciting things that I want to tell you all about.
1- My feet are no longer swollen from this weekend. I don't know why, but something about the Wasatch Front made my feet swell. Ryan thought they looked like little kid feet because they were all fat, the skin was really smooth, and you couldn't see any bones. Luckily they are a normal (pregnancy normal) size again. They literally shrank as we drove home yesterday.
2- We got the baby swing down from my parent's attic a few weeks ago. My mom got it all cleaned up and I replaced the batteries, only to find that it didn't work. Ryan took a look at it and got it swinging again! However, he then decided to play with it and now is really broken. I didn't ask details, but I would imagine that he tried putting something really heavy in it. Oh well.
3- Because of item #2, I went to the store Kid to Kid this weekend and found a gently used swing! It was only $60 and it works a lot better than our old one. I also found a few maternity shirts for just a couple bucks. I was really happy about this. I didn't want to buy new shirts for the last 3 weeks just because I have turned into a blimp. I want to save all my money for clothes shopping AFTER the baby comes! I really liked my shopping experience at this store. I will definitely be returning in the future!
4- My mother-in-law threw me a baby shower this weekend and I loved everything. I have two sister-in-laws, Mindy and Vanessa, that are nurses and they got me a whole bunch of children's medicine and ointments that I will need in the future. Go figure---nurses thinking about the health of the baby! I loved it and I thought it was really funny:) I got a lot of other things and I had a ton of fun! We made pages for a quiet book and Mama Stubbs is going to put them together and then bring it back to me when the baby is born. Cute!
5- My little sister got home from Germany! Yay! Yay! Yay! I am just so excited about this! She then promptly left for school up in Logan, but I'm glad that she made it home for a couple hours:)
6- Labor Day weekend is coming up! Do ya'll know what this means? Swiss Days in Heber and the Ft. Bridger Mountain Man Rendevous in Wyoming! Best weekend ever! Swiss Days has tons and tons of booths that you can browse through looking at home and holiday decorations, clothing, accessories, etc.. The Mountain Man Rendevous has tons and tons of booths that you can buy a lot of junk at. We don't go for the booths. We go to walk around and see all the outfits. Pretty much everyone and their dog dresses up. Its pretty intense. One of these years I am going to get my nerd on and find an indian dress. My sister wants to wear a leather bikini. To each their own.....


Wow! My brain just wants to keep telling you about little things, but I will stop right here. I'll try to get some fun pictures this weekend and put them up ASAP.

Oh---and please pray that I don't go into labor while up there. I'm sure it would make for one heck of a story to have our baby at the Rendevous, but I don't think they can offer the same comforts as my little hospital in Roosevelt.

And Ryan would say something like, "I told you so!"
