In Which I Show Myself As Unable To Stick To A Single Subject
There are times I wish I had the writing style and content that would gain me the amount of readers of oh say, Y. (and cause I'm ignorant of HTML, here's the link, not hyperlinked.)
www.joyunexpected.com
oh! hey! it hyperlinked itself! how nice.....thank you!
I have seen as many as 480 comments on a post of hers.
However, I am fully aware that my posts are not usually interesting or intriguing to strangers. and I've decided I'm okay with that. for now, at least! my satisfaction in Myself is good today.
so the post the other day on getting together with Dana was a bit flippy-outy. I think it stemmed from two things. One, I rarely have met someone I seem to get along with SO WELL right away, and two, I'm moving in a year, so it's sad to think I could meet someone I want as a friend so much and then leave in a year.
So I have decided ALL my friends need to just move to Bellevue within the next year or so, including Dana and her family! Doesn't this make sense to you? I think so too.
In all seriousness, though, I am just going to enjoy the next year, for everything it will bring me. More time with Andrea living close, time with Dana and her kids, starting my first garden, and trying for anther baby! and watching Kaia turn SIX. My god, I am the mother of a child who will turn SIX in just a few months. AFTER I turn 30. which actually isn't bothering me much.
It was a good day today. I got up early, made pancakes, bacon, and hot cocoa with Kaia (who lost interest in helping as soon as the hot cocoa was done). Got most of my house straightened up. Then went with Andrea, Katia, and Liam to the Appaloosa Museum. The kids had fun, there was a minimum of unacceptable chaos, and then we stopped by work to visit John, then came back here to banish the kids to the upstairs. That didn't last long.
Kaia is now playing an old version of Zelda. I should figure out din--holy shit! It's 7:42! yes, dinner would be a good idea........

do you know? I do!
well that was a bit frenetic! I think....if frenetic means what I think it means. (you keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. gold start to whoever can tell me where that's from!)
Waiting for the bacon to be done. I found some at the co-op! Nitrate and Nitrite free! yay! I can eat bacon again! the pancakes are getting cold on the plate.....will check back with ya'all later!

"this is unbloggable!"
Hi Dana!
Dana just left for her hour long drive home. She has a blog, too, but I have to open a MySpace account before I can see it, and it's too late tonight to do that. Also, I promised Kaia I'd get up with her, instead of sleeping in like usual.
We went and saw Because I Said So. Very funny in parts, and made me cry in a couple too, just the kind of movie I like! I recommend it.
Before the movie we went to dinner, and barely ate we were talking so much! We have a lot in common, and enough not in common that it's fascinating hearing about the differences.
It's a little scary, meeting someone and clicking this well. What if it doesn't work?! What if she gets to know me better and decides I'm just too odd? Or crass? or....or....or....you know the saying "if it seems too good to be true...."
There goes my paranoia! Dana's reading this probably thinking, Woman! I wasn't looking for a best friend or anything! CHILL! Or whatever Dana says for Chill. I don't know her well enough to know her usual phrases.
Alright. now that she thinks (has found out? ;-)) that I'm a neurotic freak, I'll sign off. It's late. Gotta get up and make chocolate chip pancakes with my daughter.
Night, All.
It's a happy, great night. and despite the seeming negativity, I'm in a great mood. Life is great. I'm great. (for all those other than Dana, the continued use of "great" is on purpose. and I'm over explaining. or under. or something. my god, girl, GET OFF THE COMPUTER!)
okay, okay.

time to fix some things....
Since I can't try for a baby until June, I thought I'd give myself some goals to reach by then. Most of them are related to babies in that a healthier me means a healthier baby, and a healthier mommy for my kids.
Change sleeping schedule to 9pm-6am. This is directly related to a few more--
Getting up earlier will allow me to eat a healthier breakfast. One that consists of a protein and carbs will be much more conducive to weight gain and an energy filled day. This will also allow me to go work out once we move where there is a fitness center. If I go early in the day, it will leave the rest of my day to other things, and also help with energy.
I need to continue to plan my meals weekly. When I do, it really helps me to serve healthier, less stressful for me meals to my family. It also keeps grocery costs down.
I need to up my water drinking from one bottle to two every day. This will be a bit more expensive, as I drink Aquafina water only. I know, I know....it's snobby of me. But seriously, other water makes me nauseous, then I don't feel good, and I don't drink as much. For a vice, it's not bad. I've been trying to change from coffee to tea, and have done okay, but with the new 6am schedule, I'm going to allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning, then bring tea to work. Also, I want to start drinking tea when I get home, at least a couple of cups.
I think that's enough for now. I am giving myself til June to perfect it. Wish me luck, and remind me now and then, okay? ask for updates.....

Baby Fever
okay, I got it bad. I want another baby. really, really, really bad. In public places, it's difficult for me to refrain from going up to complete strangers and asking if I can play with their babies' toes.
We can start trying in June. Mike graduates in December, and I want to be where we'll be for at least 3 months before I have the baby.
Mike doesn't make it any easier. I told him I wanted another baby. He said "okay."
It's going to be a bit difficult for me to get pregnant again. With Kaia, the first month we tried worked. But later, I had "stuff" happen, and now there is scar tissue covering pertinent parts that are involved in the baby making process. So it might take extra work this time.
I want a baby! Have a mentioned that?!?! Well, I DO. Kaia wants me to have one too! She is looking forward to sisterhood with a passion. I know it won't always be roses, but I am glad she's all for it.
So, if some stranger walks up to you in a public place, and asks to squeeze your baby, don't be alarmed! I won't hurt your sweet one. and I won't run off with your child either. no matter how much I might want to.
