Oh, no. I didn't want to become a boring mommy blogger...

Pardon my almost-month-long blogging hiatus. See, I had this dream that I wouldn't become a mommy-blogger, but that idea, my friends, was for the birds.

I'm less than six weeks away from my due date, and there is absolutely nothingspice else on my mind but getting ready for baby.

I'm off work again this week, and thankful that I hoarded my vacation time so that I can continue with my borderline OCD nesting. (Ohhh, you guys didn't get to hear about that week when I was off work in mid-October, did you?! I spent the entire week cleaning my house. I'm talking wall scrubbing. Every inch of wall space. It took me 2.5 days to do the kitchen.)

Today: I tackle the living room. But, before I get started I wanted to pop in to say that I miss EACH one of you so much!! I am unforgivably (but, understandably) behind in my google reader. I can't wait to catch up on your lives!

Before I go, enjoy these preggo pictures. I know you'll just love to see how much I've grown. (40+ pounds, which I could practically shed in tears... when I think upon the girth I've gained...)


Preggo Murphy, my sister, my mama, and my niece, Carley!

At my "friend-shower," we played a game called "Preggers or Porn..." I'll wait and explain this on Thursday.

My gal-pal from high school is expecting twins and is due four weeks after me. She's not ALL that much bigger than I am, and she's growing TWO babies at once!

There's more to come. I swear it. I've missed blogging.

You might be a mommy blogger, but you could never be boring! We are glad to have you in whatever form. And you look great, by the way. Enjoy it... this is the only time you can say with pride "I've gained 40 pounds!"

You might become a Mommy blogger, but you'll never be boring! Don't worry about it, you can't fight nature anyhow.

Certainly have missed you- can't believe only 6 weeks until baby! So exciting! Can't wait to "meet" your little one- and hear about pregnant or porn...sounds interesting!
OMG I have missed your blog SO much!
No lie, I was about to blog stalk you and then I saw it!!! A new post!!!
As much as I'm proud that you have not become a mommy blogger I agree with the other comments that you could never be boring.
I'm imagining that you'll give us a good, vividly detailed birth story.
YAY!!

Good to see you back :) I've missed your wit.

It's okay, for the record, if you become a mommy blogger. If it means you keep blogging, then I'm just fine with that.
You were definitely MISSED!!! Luckily, I was able to photo-stalk your facebook and I saw all your wonderful preggo pictures! Hehe ;) You look fantastic!!!! :)
Hope you have a great week! :)

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...
