24
After watching 13 hours of the blessed show 24...in one day.. all I have to say is...
Jack Bauer, you are THE MAN!
I feel safer just knowing you're out there.

10 Things I Can't Live Without
- Tums. Seriously. Tums.
- The corner piece of a cake. With all the frosting.
- Chapstick.
- A ring on my right finger so I can fidget with it when I get antsy.
- A book when I'm waiting at a doctor/dentist/anyone who makes me wait more than 15 minutes for an appointment.
- Straightener. I would have been in serious trouble if those hadn't been invented.
- A piano. Nothing else takes me to another world than it does. Such a stress relief.
- Self tanner. It is my trusty friend.
- Sweats for when I get home. It's the first thing I do. Poor Dave.
- Bare Minerals face powder.

Since I've got some time
If you haven't noticed I've been blogging a lot more lately. There's reason to this madness. I'll be honest and say I've never been more lazy in my life :) There, I said it. And I'm enjoying it. If you were my roommate in college you would give me a big high five and congratulate me, because you'd know what I busy body I've always been. But this pregnancy 'sickness' has been good for me. Hopefully I'm losing some of that "type A" personality and being a little more "kick back". We'll see how it turns out :)
I was looking through some old pictures, (hence the surplus of time) and came across some good times. These were taken in 2007 right before my brother Chris signed his life away and got married. (Just kidding Jill, I said that just for you just to make sure you're reading :) Since they got married in Northern California we made a trip to Yosemite, and San Fransisco. It made me excited to have my family come in a few weeks. So if you want to reminisce with me, here we go.
Here's Chris and I posing for a picture. You'd think I would have out grown posing like a guy when I take pictures with my brothers, but I guess you never grow out of certain things.
Us girls (and baby Bennett) at Chris and Jill's wedding luncheon.
Golden Gate bridge...I think...one of those bridges in San Fran.
As you can see it was freezing. In August. Mmhm.
I absolutely love my nephews in this picture. Priceless.
This picture is actually from the summer of 2006 in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but I thought I'd throw it in there. Why not?
Good times.

Dinner Disaster
You know while you're making a dinner you haven't made before and realize, "Wait a minute...this might not turn out as good as I thought." But, you already bought all the ingredients and it's dinner time already, so you keep going.
I tried a recipe of a "different" Mac and Cheese (since that's about all I can eat right now.) It was basically ricotta cheese, with macaroni, chives, and then sprinkled cheese on top. Bake it for a few minutes just to melt the cheese. Disgusting right? I should have read the ingredients before I put it together. I wasn't really planning on making dinner, so I hadn't thought of what to put with it. So I whip out a can of baked beans and corn. Yes, that's quite the combination don't you think? No greens, of course. No! Actually I pulled out some lettuce for Dave that was probably 3 weeks old (since I can't really eat salads right now.) He said, "Isn't this kind of old?" So we had baked beans, corn, and macaroni noodles with a load of cheese. Yum :(
Then you're sitting at the table, eating a gross dinner and you see your husband picking at it with his fork (when he usually has it in a firm grip and is shoving food down so fast it's gone before you know it.) You say, "I know, it's not very good, sorry..." Of course he lies and says, "No it's great."
A few minutes later, he goes and gets a pudding out of the fridge. I just threw mine out and ate some left over mashed potatoes and pork (from my Mom's at Father's Day.) I hope tomorrow's dinner is a little more rewarding. If not, there's always an In N Out around the corner :)

Confessions- Does Anyone Care?
I'll be honest and say that I usually never read these things when people write them. I usually just like to look at pictures. But for some reason today I've had a bunch of 'confessions' running through my mind, so I thought I'd get them off my chest and write them down :)
1. I hate showering everyday. Maybe that's because I hate doing my hair so much.
2. When people cut me off, and make me slow down, I yell at them in my car and tell them what idiots they are and I feel better, or justified, not sure which. I'm a very impatient driver.
3. I wish my hair was stick straight so I could wash it, and not spend any time blow drying it, round brushing, straightening, curling all that none sense.
4. I'm angry at my new neighbors downstairs who make my apartment smell like smoke. Disgusting.
5. I think of the past a lot and wish I could change certain things. Nothing major, just stupid things I said (which was all the time), moments when I embarrassed myself, or when I could've been a better friend.
6. I love Mac & Cheese, frosting, and Top Ramen. Sue me.
7. I thought when I graduated college I would've gotten a very impressive job. I became a personal trainer instead. Hm. What happened?
8. I love, love, love, love, love, love, love MAKEUP. If I could sit and play in it all day, I would. No, really, I would.
9. I wish I had a nice camera and had nice big pictures to put on my blog.
10. It's easy to look at other people's talents and wish I had those abilities too. All of them, at once.
11. The only thing I like about California is the gorgeous weather. Other than that, this place is goin' nowhere. I'd rather live in the mountains.
12. I think arts and crafts are overrated. Probably because I'm not very good at them.
13. I love people who are open and say it like it is, or not afraid to say what's really going on. Love it.
14. I love the smell of gasoline. And Sharpy markers.
15. I hate long lists like this, I think they're self indulgent. I guess I'm being selfish.
16. I'm sick of trying to be good at everything, and just trying so hard in general. So I'm taking a break.
17. I love people who are comfortable in their own skin.
18. I don't really have any creative style for what I wear, how I decorate, or how I design my blog. Anything in that category is pretty pathetic. And I'm okay with that.
19. I have REALLY long toes. People mention it when they're just walking on by. It's like music to my ears, every time I hear it...
20. I think of doing nice things for people all the time but never get around to actually doing them.
21. I love to scratch my ears with Q-tips even though I know I'm not supposed to. It feels so good.
22. I love it when I'm around someone and I feel totally myself. When I don't have to think about what I'm going to say, or if I should say this or that, or wonder what they're thinking.
23. I'm sick of doing things because I "feel like I should". I really don't like that word. Should.
24. If I could never feel a feeling again, it would be GUILT. I hate that feeling, and feel it too often about things I shouldn't even be worrying about.
25. I used to think I was a good 'communicator", but I guess not because I make some social situations/conversations pretty awkward.
26. I don't always know how to end a conversation on the phone. I'm not very good at it.
27. I'm not a huge phone talker, so if we don't chat often, please don't equate that to how I feel about you :)
28. I love saucy things. I hate to eat something that's dry. Of course the saucy things are usually the fattiest.
29. If I lived 100 years ago I probably wouldn't care so much about what I look like. I blame a lot of that on our society and it's emphasis on how women are "supposed" to look. C'z it just ain't me.
30. When people think they are cooler than other people, I feel an urge to shut them down and make them feel small. Isn't that terrible? But there's nothing I hate more.
31. I know I'm ending on 31 but I didn't want to end on that negative note.
31 & 1/2. I love it when you're laughing so hard you can't stop and can hardly breathe. I want to create more of those moments.

New Things
I got my first ultra sound a few weeks ago and the baby's only 1/2 an inch long, which is crazy to imagine. I get another one next week so I'm excited to see how much the baby's changed. The new due date is JANUARY 10th , which is a bit of a relief since it'll be a little farther away from Christmas.
Dave and I moved into our new place and I'm having fun decorating it! I'm almost finished with it and will have to put up some pictures when we're finished. Decorating is not a natural strength of mine but I'm trying to learn the tricks and trades :)
That's basically the most exciting thing going on in my life right now. My day consists of trying to figure out what I can eat that will make me feel better, and laying down as much as possible to kick the nausea. I've read more books in the last few weeks than I have this whole year! I guess I can't complain. My family comes into town in a month, so I'm excited to see everyone, besides the fact that it will give me something to do!
