memorial day picnic for work. I went, half expecting to go into labor while there it’s near the hospital, so I wasn’t too concerned about that =^.^=

Laura S took bunches of pics (and I didn’t know it until later) and this is a cut from one of ‘em:

thought I’d share. not a big pic, so no cut

week 37, which means IT COULD BE ANY DAY NOW!!

*crosses her fingers*

I’ve been tagged, have you?
Name six of life’s simple pleasures that you like most, then pick six people to do the same Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1. Soaking with a good book
2. Curling up on bed and playing games
3. Sharing a box of See’s Candies
4. Watching movies with the hubby (and if they’re scary, hiding under his arm)
5. Kicking ass at board games
6. Soaking in the sun when it’s not too hot and not too cold

Second

Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a blog with 6 facts about yourself. In the end you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. I like my eyes! They’re usually hidden by glasses, but they’re pretty awesome
2. I have giant breasts. A friend referred to them as being the same size as my head. It’s nice to know my friends see these things.
3. I’ve wanted to be a mother all my life, but I didn’t think I’d live long enough to have a child
4. My hair goes past my butt and gets annoying when doing certain things <.<
5. I'm always right. Even if I'm wrong, I'm still right.
6. When nobody's around, I sing at the top of my lungs

I tag…

I guess it runs in the family
(warning, it’s a big file! 840kb!)

I had to share
the mother-in-law told him to pose, so he posed.

XD

yaaay.
I feel like crap today
Jaiden’s decided to make it nearly impossible to lay down on either of my sides. I’m extremely tired still from all the tossing and turning last night. every damn noise in the world is waking me up. to top it all off my stomach is rebelling against the rest of me.
also, I’m fairly bored out of my mind. probably doesn’t help with the sleep thing. I’ve never been able to successfully sleep when I’m bored.

I’ma go coat my stomach with some milk and see if that makes me feel less grouchy.

on the plus side, Jaiden moved during the night, so now it’s easier to lay on one of my sides. last night, every time I tried to lay down he would be -there-, making it extremely painful in my side/stomach area, on whichever side I was trying to sleep. like he was shoving his foot in me or something *shrug*
anyway.
uuuuuhhhhm…
I played civ4 (the one santa got me!) some yesterday and while I didn’t die, I got bored and lost. I kept getting war declared on me because I had too many friends who hated eachother. that’s so sad. well, no matter! too much like high school, I think “oh, we’re not talking to HER. SHE did this horrible thing! can you BELIEVE?” and if you don’t agree, well, you’re as horrible as SHE is. or HE. whatever.
okay GRRR I’m damn tired and wish I could curl back up and SLEEP but I CAN’T so I’m on here RAMBLING.
and there’re strange noises that keep waking me up. they’re like airplanes, or something. I’ve never heard them before, cept for when I was younger and lived right by the airport. donno what’s happening, and it’s a lil bit scary.
also the AC was on and making lots of noise. even after I turned it off, I still couldn’t sleep.
*CRYYYYY*

Take a look at your LJ friends list, then list up to ten things you want to say to ten different LJ friends.
DO NOT state who these people are.
DO NOT confirm nor deny any “comment speculation”.
Then tag five people.

1. I know we started out rough, mostly because of my distrust. I hope you’ll forgive me for everything, and that you and the hubby have years of happiness. =^.^=
2. hehehe — we’ve got years and years ahead of us for me to torture you >D you asked for it though! oh, and THE ORIGINAL is better than the CLONE
3. you know what you mean to me, even if you think I don’t need you. I’m still here, even though you tried to push me out. =^.^=
4. I guess you’re the big sister Thank you for being there during those hard moments, and for holding my hair while I puked. I think I would still be lost in my head if you hadn’t been there.
5. I’m proud of you for getting up and doing what you want with your life
6. it’s hard to find words, but I think the main point is I’ll always love you
7. it’s good to have finally met the person who kept MAKING ME BUY DVDS! stupid brain sharing thing thank you for making me as big as a whale, btw. oh well. only a few more weeks of whale-watching
8. you’re an awesome, sweet, kind person. I’m glad to know you, even if sometimes I get the teensiest bit jealous.
9. you’ll never read this, probably. I’m happy you’ve found someone who doesn’t abuse you. ironic, her name
10. we’ve got more years than we can count together, and somehow there’s still a bond, despite the changes both of us have been through. hope we’ll be jumproping in heaven together after a bazillion more years of knowing eachother

and you guys are IT!:

okie! been a while since I updated.
to start things off, I got a new drawing! (Cause it makes me happy an stuff )

I’m hoping that I immediately turn into that after Jaiden is born
anyway!
events up to now:

I got more berry lime sublimes! WOOT!
uuuuhm…
at work, I finished a project I gave myself for when I was gone. toward the last few weeks before maternity leave, they had me off phones and helping the new-hires in a chatroom.
in-between cries for help (and jumping up to help people manually, i.e. fists, etc) I was working on a spreadsheet that’d hopefully be useful for typical solutions to common problems. hopefully it’ll be used. I forwarded all the files to the sups/managers on my last day.
that’s the other thing!
I started maternity leave about two weeks early. my heartbeat’s been pretty erratic, and high. erratic I can deal with, but high is bad. part of it was the heat, and the other part was still being a bit stressed out at work. so now I’m suffering through hours of boredom at home at least now it’s the time it would’ve been when I started maternity leave. just a million more hours to go.
every day, my belly enlargens. Jason compared my stretch-marks to tiger stripes, cause he knew that’d make me less mad at them
we’re nicknaming the brat Tigger (his middle-name-sake is nicknamed Tiger, and Lil Tiger is a bit hard to say. plus he seems to think my uterus is Rabbit’s vegetable patch, and that his tail is for bouncing). So far we’ve gotten mostly winnie-the-pooh stuff. the crib’s all set up (a weekend of running around got that accomplished — I got infected with nesting syndrome REALLY bad and the whole room got revised). There’s a cute lil tigger plushie in his crib, with winnie-the-pooh sheets and a winnie-the-pooh blankie that’s insanely soft. for some reason I keep looking at green, not blue or yellow or pink. we also got him a cute tigger rattle his mobile (came with the crib) has eeyore, pooh and piglet on it. we finally got his carseat (it was on sale! woohoo! bout half price ) and his stroller (which his carseat actually clips into, so we don’t have to unbuckle and buckle).
we got a reaaally nice station to put all his clothes and washcloths and other baby-things. it was an assemble-it-yourself deal, only 20 bucks. Of course I was the one to assemble it *eyes Jason* since I appear to be the only mechanically inclined person in this relationship
got all Jaiden’s clothes washed (gotta use special soap and stuff) and a really cute outfit for his first picture (At 3 months, or whenever he fits it). I found a lot of cute stuff on the discount rack (which is about the only rack I’ll ever look through anywhere).
given that I have a huge amount of difficulty settling down and not moving, I’ve been utterly grateful to my co-workers for dragging me out last saturday and a few saturdays before. we went to the flea market both times, and I got utterly sunburnt. I’m just now recovering. my skin actually -peeled-, which it hasn’t done since I was in high-school. I blame the pregnancy
anyway. brendan, royce, maria, tai, tai’s friend mark and brendan’s girlfriend erlynn all dragged me out to the flea market last saturday (well I went willingly, so it wasn’t really a drag). not sure how many times people went to the ATM (which is conveniently placed at the -front- of the market, where you are -not- once you’ve spent all your money ) but it was pretty amusing. I think the most money was spent at the games booth. brendan and erlynn got awesome outfits at a chinese clothes shop. erlynn actually got two tops, and they both looked so cute on her. brendan looked like a real kung-fu scary guy in his outfit mark got the same outfit as brendan, and wore the shirt part of it the rest of the day. all black, with cute toggles on the shirt.
I found an awesome spiderman t-shirt for Jaiden. was only 4 bucks, but was yellow and I wanted green, but it was -spiderman- so I bought it anyway

oh, and I actually saw 2001 maniacs last night. Jason was watching it while I read my book (which is how I watch movies. with a book. ) and I kept looking up (and listening) cause of all the interesting noises (Screaming, sucking, popping. all those fun gory noises). There wasn’t as much sex in it as I’d have liked, but I guess in retrospect, it’d be kinda gross to have sex with someone who’s been dead for so long. the cannibalism was presented so humorously I didn’t mind as much as I would’ve, which is actually a statment which can be applied to the movie as a whole. it wasn’t gory so much as funny, because it was so damn ridiculous. glad I didn’t have any of those awful acidy feelings in my tummy.

been playing a lot of WOW and Phantom Brave. also sims 2. people keep giving me games, cause they know how bored I get. it’s awesome I’ve gotten a bunch more books too. since I’ve pretty much exhausted nora roberts, I’ve moved on to collecting catherine coulter.

oh oh, if anybody wants me to do a drawing for ‘em, gimme descriptions and stuff (I know Ashi wanted me to do a drawing of one of his favorite characters, and I’m still summoning up the courage for that. I’m not very good at duplicating stuffs, or whatever it’s called. fan art?) =^.^=

oh, the doctor said today that I’m fine, and he’s having me come back in two weeks instead of the anticipated one. awesome! that means my heartbeat stuff’s fine now
week 35, folks! not much longer now. kinda scary
June 18th (Father’s day!) is the estimated birth date, though only 5% of the population actually gives birth on the said date.

can’t think of anything else to add, but I’m sure I’ve missed something! maybe I’ll post again, what with all this free time

have fun =^.^=
