Guess what internet.

My stomach is growing, and as Arnold would say "It's not a tumor".





Can you guess????








I'll give you a hint.....it rhymes with blegnant.


That's right - Husband decided to make sure I didn't run off with some hot Latino stud. You want to see the creature?

Of course you do! So here's a picture:

This little person is scheduled to make an appearance on or about July 31. So don't be alarmed when I start making posts about a baby at the end of the summer.

In somewhat related news, I made a delicious dinner tonight. Nothing that deserves it's own post, plus I ate it before taking a picture (hey I'm pregnant!) besides there really wasn't a recipe.

Hamburger and asparagus. But I made the hamburger with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce. Then I cooked it on a bed of onions and melted a slice of american cheese on top. OMG simple and yum. Add some steamed asparagus with butter and I am sitting pretty!

I have a problem.

My memory sucks. I cannot remember my own posts. I was going to make dinner tonight and blog about it, but then it took me over 2 hours to get home from work. It normally takes me about 30 mins. Now I'm home, grumpy, and I can't for the life of me remember if I ever blogged about this meal.

I know for sure, not since I switched, but did I on my old blog? I suppose I could go look but instead I decided to whine about my drive and crappy brain.

That's it. Thanks for reading this when really it should have gone in my journal instead of the internet. 

I'm pretty sure they are plotting

After we brought home Bingo, our two resident cats were not happy. In fact, the one cat hid on top of our fridge for a good month. We have reached happiness - and now I'm worried.


I walked into the living room to see this

Now I don't know what the stuffed hippo's role was/is but surely animals do not place themselves in a circle UNLESS they are plotting. I think I need to invest in a nanny cam to see what goes on while we're at work.

Book Review

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro




Very interesting story. I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first time reading anything by Kazuo Ishiguro, but I definitely plan to read more of his work.

Intrigued me from the beginning, which is always a good thing and kept me fascinated throughout. A page turner, and I normally don't like sci-fi type books. It reminded me of a brave new world in that it was set in a different time. But it wasn't obvious, i.e. no flying spaceships. The subject matter was quite believable given the current medical knowledge that exists. I definitely recommend it.

This was recently made into a movie so I am curious to see the adaptation.

Oh Hi!

So a whole year has passed since my last post (badumbum). Yep - that's how I roll, slacker posting and cheesy new year jokes.

To wrap up - got married, saw Ireland (check off bucket list), bought first home, got first dog, had another nephew born, saw good/bad movies, heard good/bad music, kept my job through a scary time, and generally enjoyed a fabulous year. 2010 was a busy, eventful and happy year. I'm hoping 2011 brings some more good stuff.

I've been lazy about cooking lately, and even worse about updating my goodreads list although I've actually been reading. So hopefully I get motivated to do more in the kitchen and more around the house - there's definitely a list of improvements that needs to get attention.

Happy New Year internet!
