Nobody puts Baby in a Corner!

Ahhh, I knew this day would happen. I knew the moment they announced that Patrick Swayze had cancer. I just didn't know I'd be so sad about his passing! As I was looking for pictures for this post, I found one of him in the recent months and it didn't even look like him! He fought hard though, so that makes it a little easier to deal with.

My all time favorite PS movie - Dirty Dancing

But let's not forget all the memories we have of him - Red Dawn, Ghost, Roadhouse, and Point Blank! I know there are more, but these are top of my list!

DOA

Yep, Dead on Arrival! My camera!!!!! We got to the surprise party for my MIL yesterday and the darn thing wouldn't even turn on! So, yes, we fooled with the battery wondering if it had just lost its charge, but nada! Finally, after manhandling it and banging the back of it (ya know like you do when the remote is on the fritz), it finally came on. Battery was fully charged!!!!! It made me wonder what was wrong with it - I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that I just throw it in my bag without the case most of the time and/or that LH takes pictures with it and occassionally has *gasp* drops it! He doesn't play with it really - he actually takes good pictures, but maybe the dropping part is not so good!

Well, this couldn't come at a worse time....well, there really isn't any good time to have a deadbeat camera, but now more than ever!! With a baby on the way tomorrow and the cruise coming up in 19 days, I am just beyond sad!

Now, most of you would just go buy another camera, but I can't just run out and pick just any ol' thing off the shelves. Have you forgotten, I'm the planner who plans to plan, therefore, there should be much research and contemplation into such a grand purchase! A camera to me is like another limb. It goes with me everywhere and I feel lost without it! Not only do I want to make sure I'm getting a great product, but the fact that its not a cheap purchase! I want to make sure I'm getting the best deal possible for the product that we (I) want!

I am just interested in a point and shoot - I already have a very nice 35mm Nikon but its just too big to lug around all the time. SO, if you have any suggestions, please let me know. My last one was a Sony Cyber Shot!

Boys who Blog...

Well, they may not have a blog, but they read the blogs!

Besides the Hubby (who doesn't read by choice, but is sent email reminders every time I post), I can confirm that I have one other male reader!!!! Very exciting! Maybe he is trying to gain some insight into the wonderful world of women!!! Good luck!

It is flattering and very cool that a man reads the blog....actually I found out that his wifey, my "walking" friend as hubby calls her, can't catch up sometimes, so she relies on him to fill her in!!!

Too funny!

Are there any other males that read the blog? I'd love to know....leave me a comment!

We Interrupt this Marriage....

To bring you Football Season! I've seen it on signs, pillows and all other kinds of decorative items. The MIL has a a sign hanging in the hallway of her house - and she deserves it due to being married to a football coach for decades as well as raising 3 sons that all played the sport!

Now, I need one....

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE College Football! Really, I do, but I also have other things to do on a beautiful Saturday than watch football ALL day! Seriously, ALL day! Hubby informed me last night that with the new scheduling, he could literally watch football from 10 am until 1 am!!!! And that is just College!

So, I guess I will see him sometime in January - oh, wait, I'll see him for a week in October, but then bye bye again till 2010!

Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader?

Well, yesterday I sure felt like I was....in math that is! I was as smart as an 8th grader!!!!

FINALLY, I felt good about taking that test and left there with a good attitude! I switched to Middle School Math and it was soooooooooo much better! I mean, there were questions on there that I actually understood, even to the point of knowing what exactly they were asking for, knowing how to find the answer, and more often than not, the answer I got was actually one of the ones on the test to choose from!!! Amazing!

Now, there were some that stumped me only because I couldn't recall the exact formula on the area of circle or exactly how many feet are in a mile, but overall it was something to sing about!

Now, I just have to wait the dreaded 4 weeks until I get my results!!!!

Spoiled Rotten

Me...that's who!

I am so used to having my Fridays off and having to work today is not fun!!! And, its only until 11!!!!!!! I know I had Monday off, but that was spent in a car driving home from GA. I love my Fridays - me time to get all that crap done that I don't do during the week or on weekends!

Hubby makes fun of me (he's jealous I'm sure of it) but he won't be joking this weekend when the house is a mess and there is no food in the fridge!!!

Oh, and baby isn't here yet, but momma was dilated to 2 yesterday so we are hoping very soon!!!!

Just What I needed Today

Lunch with a friend that I haven't seen in a while! I could have used the rest of the afternoon to catch up with her, but the hour was exactly enough time to help bring me out of my funk!

Also, other happies that are helping:

* met Sweet Baby Girl's little boy last night - 2 weeks old and cute as ever
* mom is on her way up here and staying indefinitely - brother's baby is due anytime now, and will be here no later than next Tuesday by induction
* get to hang out with my Little Hauss tonight just the two of us
* have a fun weekend plan
* AND the cruise is only 23 days away!!!

I just need to remind myself of all the wonderful and blessed things in my life and not spend too much energy on the curve balls life throws you because from where I stand, the good sure outweighs the bad!!!
