Good MORNING!

First... Go visit my new renter

Second... I thought of another rapid TV gestation. The O.C. In the last five episodes, Kiersten told her family that she was expecting, she had her first ultrasound, and just last week she was barely showing, and *get this!* This Thursday (as in TOMORROW) her water breaks and she is delivering a baby! What the heck is this all about?! It's amazing really. It's insane. And I sit here 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant and I say "damn!" Because I have a long way to go.

This week has been kinda hectic, my schedule is all monkeyed up again, with 5am wake-ups. Yesterday I worked about 10 hours, and last night Brad and Anya's dog disappeared and I watched Ava for a little while at their house while Evan and Brad and Anya drove around looking for her. Just when we had all given up, Evan came back to get me and Sadie came running down the road to him. Whew!

So last night I propped my eyes open to watch a new episode of Law and Order SVU, and then crashed into a deep sleep.

The snow is rapidly melting and things are either frosty or muddy, depending on the time of day. It feels almost like spring.... but we hear there is another snowstorm on it's way this weekend. But it's been 45 this week, and it's a HUGE change from -10.

My appetite has increased amazingly, and my metabolism is skyrocketing. My Midwife says that she won't be the least bit surprised if I only gain 5-15 pounds during this pregnancy, because of my body shape and me metabolism being so high now. Yee! I hope so! She also said she is watching me closely for hypertension and toxemia and that I should set my mind with the possibility of working part time or being on partial bedrest for the last two months of my pregnancy. Yeah. So I am planning for that. I have warned my boss and my husband. And I need to get everything done that I can now!

Luckily I have lots more energy, even more this week than last week.

I don't have much else insightful to say... so go visit my renter!

His Blog is about Nothing... And I like it!

Hey peeps... check out my new renter! I do love his blog.... Especially his winter poem. Although today I think it hit like 25 degrees and it feels like SUMMER! But I hear of about 9 inches of snow coming my way starting tonight. Of course I have to get up at 5:00am tomorrow (4 hours early) to go to my mystery job, to do my mystery work, and I am NOT looking forward to screwing up my entire life and putting myself on virtually a different shift, especially when my body is just starting to feel mildly normal again and my sinus infection only flares up at night.

My renter is also in the blessed cold midwest.... and is worth the visit! Go see!

I want a Little Sugar in My Bowl. And 50% off sex toys.

Visit my new renter "I want a little Sugar in My Bowl" She's a mom and a "retired" owner of a big sex toy company called intimate pleasures. She has closed down her business to spend more time with her family and via her blog you can email her to get 50% off anything in her online store (separate site.) By clicking on her you are not going to be inundated with photos of sex toys. Don't panic boys. Her blog is sweet and innocent.... but THIS is where you get the sex toys.

Visit! Tell her I sent you!

I am an Evil Pop Tart!

Okay First, You HAVE to see my new renter. OMG! I had 5 bids. They were all great but I couldn't turn down the Evil Pop Tart! It's a site where people can anonymously turn in all their evil deeds and it's great. I totally love it! I have one that I can submit but I will probably wait a while.

You MUST go see the evil pop tarts!

That's all for now. Just trucking through a Thursday!

The Lost Girls

You need to visit my new renters. I keep forgetting to pimp them, so here goes:
The Lost Girls are Three twenty-something New Yorkers who ditched their media jobs to embark on a yearlong, round-the-world journey in search of adventure and inspiration.

If that's not intriguing, what is? Right now they happen to be in Kenya. November 1st they will find themselves in Dubai. Oh yeah. Can't wait to read about that.

Check it out!

Cute Shoes Kel!

Extra Extra! New Renter! Go visit Kel at "Mama? MAMA COME HERE!"

Firstly, let me say HOLY BLOG EXPLOSION BIDS! I had EIGHT! It was difficult to choose and I was instantly drawn to Kel's because of her profile Icon! SHOES! I love shoes. Love love love shoes! Got two new pair today in the mail. But this post isn't all about me... so please go visit Kel. She's in the twin cities, mom to two boys.... basically just surrounded with testosterone. I like her writing style. And like her, my golden birthday has gone by and was less than what I thought it would be.

Visit her now!

My very favorite part of his blog so far? I know this is bizarre... but in his about me area he has a comment from "vanessa" and in the comment she says "I had the BIGGEST Crush on you in high school" and I thought to myself (and later to my husband) WHY would you SAY That to anyone? If you had a crush on them, why would you EVER mention it? And if you did, WHY would you do it via a comment posting on the INTERNET? Oh Vanessa. Is your middle name stalker? Poor chicky. She needs help. If anyone can find her myspace page, let me know, I would love to see it. LOL. (You know how much I DESPISE MySpace.)

So I have officially started my fall apple addiction. I had two apples last night and one this morning on the way to work and I am eating another one right now as I type. My favorite apples are Johnathan's. I love tart apples. Not mushy, not sweet. Tart. And I have a green apple right now. Yum! I would love to run an apple orchard.

What's your favorite kind of apple to munch on?

Chicago

So, go support a local girl for me, will ya? Visit Bloggo Chicago! And to think that we are only an hour and a half away from each other? Amazing.

I like Chicago. Pete lives there. Friends Angela, Kreg, Tom and Scott live in the suburbs (none of them together) and really it just has cool places. Cool places that I have been to (museums, shedd aquarium, navy pier, portillos, ikea, feast, the L, club lucky) and cool places that I haven't been to yet but I sure hope to see. I would kill to take my mom to see Wicked. I would kill to SEE Wicked period. The books, AWESOME. Never been to a real play. Real besides Circa 21 Dinner Theater (Footloose, Annie, Some Like it Hot, etc.) And even though I have been to the field museum, I was young and I would love to go see King Tut's Exhibition this fall. And even though I have been to the museum of science and industry, I would like (i think) to go see Body Slices.

So anyway. Go visit Bloggo Chicago!
