Wordless Wednesday

The Quad Screen Results are back...

And everything is negative! WOOHOO!

Dean just told me "he's going to be a healthy boy."

So he's thinking blue!

And I'm thinking pink!

Monday Again!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

We had back to back parties yesterday. Me and S co-hosted a Premier.Jewelry party. The "Jewelry Lady" is a friend and needed some bookings before the end of the year. We had about 12 people show up and buy lots of stuff! We will have tons of "free jewelry" to order for our hostess benefits. They have a holiday catalog too. You know how I love me some Christmas!

Followed by the jewelry party was a birthday dinner for my dad. The ladies had been there all day for the other party, then the guys showed up. I made chicken and dumplings (they are ALL GONE! No leftovers for me!), mixed veggies (sister), corn casserole (Mom), and a fruit salad (Aunt). I also made the cake. Picture tomorrow I suppose. I actually forgot to take one until the candles were already in it! We had a good time spending time with family. We also drew names for Christmas.

OH! 20 week u/s has been scheduled for December 3rd, with f/u with OB on December 5th!

Busy week this week already. Was hoping for a breather....

Mon: making 4 flower bases for class on Thursday, working out with D
Tues: D's Jazz concert
Wed: Baking cake for bday @ work (really 2 weeks in a row)
Thurs: OFF - going to Nutcracker.Market with Shani. The most AWESOME Christmas craft show on EARTH!; decorating cake; cake class
Fri: NOTHING!

People Can Be SOO RUDE!!

Was craving McD's hot mustard sauce....so I wen to the drive thru....and then....

So I am so frustrated by what just happened in the drive thru at McD's that I had to diagram it for a better story!

As you can see, there is a random construction trailer taking up most of McD's parking lot. Therefore the actual entrance is to the right of that building and the other driveway is the EXIT. When I came around the corner of that building, there were already cars in line for the drive thru. The arrow points to the LAST CAR at the time of my pulling up (obviously at the wrong angle, but hey! I came in the right driveway. THEY did not.

So when said last car gets up to the make the turn to the order menu, I nudge my nose into the line behind it. The B.I.T.C.H next in line scoots her nose up and won't let me in. Lucky for me, her windows are down. I toot a little friendly toot on the horn and she ignores me. I roll down my window and here's the conversation:

Me: Hey, it's my turn. I was here next.
BITCH: I don't think so honey. (NOTE: I H.A.T.E when chicks call me honey)
Me: Yes, I was. That lady (pointing to car in front her) was the last car when I pulled up.
BITCH: I don't think so maam (NOTE: I H.A.T.E when chicks my age call me maam) I was here first all the way around the building.
Me: (shrugs) and looks at next car. They politely wave me in.

I could see the last car in line. This means there were NO OTHER CARS in line! And REALLY does it matter THAT F'ING MUCH what "place" you are in the damn MCDONALD'S LINE!!!

Let the people that at least followed the TRAFFIC RULES come in every other car or something. GEEZ. This is also what I get for going to the "high class" i.e. in a ritzy part of town, McD's. For those of you in Houston, it's on Post Oak near the Galleria. This should indicate to you the caliber of B.I.T.C.H. I am talking about....

Anyway, hope you like the drawing. Happy F'ing Friday.

Because He's Black!

In light of the recent Presidential nomination....I found this post on my friend's blog and thought it worth re-posting. The original is here.

Thought provoking!

This older white guy asked his older black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black'?

So the older black guy fires back and says, 'Are you not voting for him because he's black? Why can't I vote for him just cause he's black?

Hell in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they're black, passed over for promotions just cause they're black, considered to be criminals just cause they're black, but you don't seem to have a problem with that.

This country was built with the sweat and whip off the slaves back, and now a descendant of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country where we weren't even considered to be people. A country where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote, so you damn right I'm going to vote for him!

But not just because he's black.

But because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson says he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal. Now he sees, understand, and knows, he can achieve, withstand, and do anything just because he's black!

We HEART NKOTB!

16 Week Update

HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER!

Can you believe it's been 16 weeks already! Only 24 more to go!

Weight: only gained 1 pound since 12 week check up (Ladies never tell you know)
BP: 110/70, not in my normal range, but at least its going down and not up!
Baby hb: 170

Everything is progressing nicely. I also had blood drawn today for the QuadScreen (similar to the NT scan). It screens for down's, trisomy18, trisomy13, and spina.bifida. Should have the results back within a week.

Other than that, I am waiting on a schedule call back for the 20 week u/s! I C.A.N.N.O.T. believe it will have been 8 weeks since we've seen the little bugger!

Grateful for:

• a clean bill of health for the 16 week check up!
• Girls Night with Laura tonight!
• Cake class (finally Course 4!) starts tonight.
