Terrificly Random Tuesday

  • I'm not sleeping well and yet somehow I still dream for what seems like hours and hours. Last nights dream was SO hilarious (apply sarcasim like thick buttercream frosting on freshly baked cupcakes) I went to the doctor and the lady slide the scale to 250 and then it STAYED there and the nurse said: You've gained about 60 l-b-s's in the past week; do you know what this means? And I say sobbing that I shouldn't have made cupcakes and she says "No, you're other baby showed up" and then I go into a serious freak out because I am only ready for ONE baby not TWO babies and that's when my water breaks and I realize I'm screwed.
  • After HOURS of hunting and 7 different stores yesterday I found Ball canning jars and today I will be making strawberry jam and pickles. Yes, it's come to this. Did you know that in Indiana the Ball canning people founded Ball State University and that there are mansions on the grounds of the university that are INCREDIBLE. One fourth of July I had the pleasure of spending the day at one of these places with my very oldest friend Dani. What a fantastic time that was. For those of you that know me this was before Vincent.
  • Okay you've probably seen this video about Christian the Lion and being reunited with the people that raised him but can I just say that my pregnant self cried and cried and cried at this video because the lion remembered them and how loved they must have felt in that moment.
  • Most passive aggressive use of the DVR ever took place last Thursday night. The only show that I'm actually amused by lately is My Boys on TBS and the FH stopped the recording of this show at the 10 minute point because he was "frustrated" to see the red light on the DVR box. This is where you do the Scooby Doo head shake because this my friends, not smart. He's still breathing because it wasn't a new episode.

He was frustrated to see the red light on the DVR? Oh no....I'd have hurt him. One can mess with me in a few ways--you do NOT mess with my DVR. Especially in the summer when there's jack crap on. I LOVE MY Boys.

I laughed out lout at your dream and the 2nd baby. And then I stopped. Because that? Not funny.

If we lived in the same town, I could've saved you hours of jar hunting. I have 25 of them packed away in my storage unit. Don't ask why. We all know I don't cook/can/bake. I think I got the great idea to make jam one day, bought all the stuff and then decided I'd screw it up so, I didn't even try.

I am so surprised you had such a hard time finding jars! Our supermarket has 1/2 an aisle of them. I am also amazed there is a Ball University! And frustrated at the red light????? Did he go senial for a moment and forget that he was recording it for a pregnant woman?! Have fun today :)

I forgot to say something about your dream! I had WEIRD ones, (not quite this weird though) the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I remember fighting someone off me who was trying to take my BELLY, not baby, but BELLY. I kept hearing someone yelling my name, and it was my husband, who I was beating the crap out of in my sleep. OOPPS! And I had never see the Lion video...I was just in tears watching it! Nature is awesome.

My mom used to make the best strawberry jam...now I want some.

Turned it off because of the light? Seriously? My husband wouldn't have the balls to do that when I wasn't pregnant but now? No way. Good for you for letting him live.

K so a few things here.

1. You are in Indiana? Or did you just grow up there? I was born and raised there. Ball State is a wicked party school, I miss going down there. I really wanted to go to college there but my mom got super pissed bc that was the year that it got named the #1 party college in America.

2. I had never seen the lion video before either. I cried, too. LOL.

3. I hope your dreams tonight are good ones!
