Vacationgate 2010

Hubs has decided to go with my family and me to Destin next month! (He says he told me that he "would go" on the day I told him I was pregnant, which was smack in the middle of Vacationgate, when hubs did not want to go... nor did he want me to go and stay in my parents' condo for free. If you'll recall, I was going to go regardless.)

So, I booked our condo today. Instead of me going for free, hubs and I are both going and spending $749.00 for the condo alone. Hubs didn't want to be left out after all. But, you know. It's cool. This will be our last babyless vacation.

Who needs new windows anyway?

2010 Reading Challenge

May was a productive reading month. I've now read a total of 34 books this year. If I can read 16 books in the month of June, I'll be halfway to my goal of 100 books for this calendar year. Word. (Or, should I say... words?)

WIP-Progess

Still slim to none since learning I am "with child" eight-ish weeks ago. My head is burried in the sand.

Alledgedly in the glove compartment of the hubster-mobile. I keep forgetting to check for it. I need to, though, so I can post some expanding-belly-pics in the near future.

Apology

It's probably my pregnancy hormones.

I love how this randomly flowed into a numbers game.

Yikes! I bet I wasn't one of those 5 comments - shame on me - I still think you're cool by the way!

I have 450+ followers and on a regular basis I have about 20-40 comments... so it's not like it gets much better the higher you are!

Love how your hubs caved in! There's no telling what you could get him to do now:) My hubs was the same way when I was preggers with the first kid, but as soon as she got here it was back to the usual he-always-wants-to-have-his-way stuff.

And yes, definitely enjoy your last kidless vacation. I love my kids, but I'd do most anything to get away somewhere for a few days child-free.

I'm glad hubs is going with you!! I have been lamespice lately, but I don't think your life qualifies as that. Afterall, you are with child which is pretty rad. I have only read like 3 books this year and your number on that just made me feel reallllly jealous. I am reading the physick book of deliverance dane right now, which i can't put down.. and you should read that next! You seem to have similar taste in books as me.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
