not that anyone actually reads my blog.
anywho, things are going well.
My laptop took a big pooh. I went a few months without a computer and it was torture. I got use to it and the withdrawals subsided. I'm lucky if I get on the computer once a day now. Though, I have my iPod touch in my hands at all times.
My baby boy is going to be a year old in November, and it breaks my heart. He is growing way too fast. He is beginning to walk. I sit and just watch him play, crawl around, eat. I will never have those moments again. He gets older everyday.
My six year old is barely home anymore, I see her an hour a day. On the weekends she spends the night at her friends house and complains it's boring here. I didn't think that would come so soon. I knew once she hit thirteen she wouldn't be home a lot, but six? She wants to become a cheerleader. oh boy.
I am a married women! Marriage has been good. Nothing has changed except for the rings on my finger and my filing status. We are still the same couple we always have been. Our wedding was great, I had a blast and our week in the Keys was amazing. I want to go back.
Work is work. I enjoy it. I enjoy people I work with and I'm very fortunate to have such good relationships with these people. I went out Friday night, and it's been awhile. I'm embarrassed to say after ONE shot, I was drunk. But it was a good drunk. I had a great time with my friends and it's so nice to go out. I feel young and for that amount of time, I feel like I don't have any responsibilities. In my defense, I don't drink much. Maybe once a month AND I had an empty stomach. I didn't realize that one shot would effect me so easily. Good times, my friends, good times.
I have started to write in the free time I get, which isn't much. Maybe one day I'll share it.

flowers, cake, favors, decorations, centerpieces..this or that?
So I'm starting to get overwhelmed. What kind of favors should I do? What flavor cake do I want? ..etc. Then I think of money and I get stressed. For the most part, I know what I want..it's just the money aspect. There's only about four months left, and I feel like nothings done. gah.
Just recently, I went to a bridal show. It was fun, I've never been to one before. I was mainly there for info on florists and bakers. I already have my hall, dj, and photographer. There was about 60 vendors there, and you had to go to every single vendor in order to enter the drawing for prizes. I actually won something! A free personalized sitting and a free 8x10 photo. A free days later, I got another phone call and I actually won a 3 day 2 night trip to any of their 25 locations! So that's pretty exciting!
Oh another note, little boy now weighs 13lbs and 7oz. He got two shots :( I hate when he has to get shots! It makes me cry. He's slowly getting over his cough. We finally put his crib together, and the boyfriend is very instant of him sleeping in his room. I like having him right next to me. I really want to get something to put on his walls, but I'm not sure what yet.
I started watching The Walking Dead. First, let me say I'm deathly afraid of zombies. I've heard such good things about the show, and it's on Netflix. I figured, what the heck. I ended up watching every episode they had available. Thankfully I didn't have any nightmares!

Hi there, remember me?
Yup. still failing. but with good reasons! Since August, much has happened.
Baby boy arrived, considerably late, by a week! He was born on November 8, 2011 at 3:20pm. Weighing 9lbs and 3oz. Big boy, yes. It only took 22 mins of pushing. yep. be jealous. I mean unless you had one of those births with one push, and done kind of thing. then screw you.
Less than a month later, we managed to get our own place. It's actually right next store from the boyfriend's parents house, but it is our own! It's lovely. It's completely renovated and beautiful! I love it. As does my mother, she's up so much I'm surprised the boyfriend isn't annoyed. In all honestly, she's a big help!
Then came Christmas and then it went. It's sad on much of a blur it was..it was over so quickly it was hard to enjoy. I got lots of goodies as did the kids. Yup, baby boy got some toys and cute outfits too!
Now with all those things done. It's been wedding planning time!!! I got my dress about 3 weeks ago, I was SO nervous..but I love it and it made me even more excited. Next up, is finding our cake and flowers. There's SO much left to do. We go this Saturday for the bridesmaids dresses, and the following is the mens tuxedos! I try not to stress myself with the money, it's hard to not think about it.
February is right around the corner and I'm giving myself a challenge. A photo a day challenge. I missed January, unfortunately, so I hope I can keep up with February's!
I'd like some friends..so follow me. I'll follow you back. Leave me some love, and I'll leave some back!

Failing Miserably.
My attempt at blogging has failed. Miserably.
Let's see..many may know about the strange events taking place on the East Coast(where I reside). First, an earthquake and now hurricane Irene. I didn't feel the earthquake, but almost everyone I know did. It's pretty scary, as earthquakes aren't common for us. I hope it stays uncommon too.
We just got slammed by Irene. My thoughts goes to those who were greatly impacted. It was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hit us. We made sure we were prepared though. We had water, candles, and board games. We thought we were in the clear come this morning, as we didn't lose power. Then around 11AM, the power went out. It came back on at 8:30PM. A whole NINE hours without power. It's quite hard to entertain two five year olds especially when it's raining out. According to my daughter, everything was 'boring' and she 'didn't know what to do'.
My fiance's sister and her family were over. They lost power at 3am, and still have yet to get it back! They brought Monopoly over..we sat around for about four hours just playing that. We all then decided to go out to eat since we couldn't cook at home. We went to a diner, and it turns out they just got power an hour prior to us going there. Many of the people in the diner didn't have power at home either. We decided to waste some time and go to the local WalMart. I bought myself and my daugther a puzzle. The sun was starting to shine, and you can see the nasty dark clouds shifting away. It was quite nice out..sunny with a breeze. We let the kids play outside, and it seems like everyone else had the same idea. I don't think I've ever seen the neighborhood as lively as it was today!
Once it started getting dark, we began to light candles all around the house. We started to work on my daughter's puzzle and within 30 minutes the lights flickered, we all had hope. Then our power returned! Shortly after, I took a shower! It was so refreshing, as I didn't get to shower yesterday because of the storm.
So, in baby news...I am almost 31 weeks. People keep telling me that it'll fly by, but they are not the one who is pregnant. I'm completely miserable and uncomfortable. I'm sure I will look back, and be like yeah, it went by so quickly but at this point, I cannot wait to meet this little boy who's been causing me all this grief. My daughter is excited too. She asks constantly when he's coming out, and she asks to give my belly kisses. It's adorable to hear her say 'my baby brother'.
A few weeks ago, my co-workers surprised me with a baby shower. It was really touching, and I made out really well! I held onto a lot of my daugther's stuff but some of it, like the stroller, I couldn't use. It's all pink. They all chipped in and got me a new travel system. I gave the pink system to a friend of a friend who didn't have anything. I got so much more. I also had FOUR bins full of girl clothing, which I gave away too.
I can't believe summer is coming to an end. My daughter starts Kindergarten on the 6th of September. It's exciting, and sad at the same time. She's excited, and she's been wanting to ride the big school bus for three years now. We took her shopping for new clothing and I managed to get some really good deals! I think I enjoyed it more than she did!
I'm setting a goal to keep up with this blog, we'll see how I do. Now it's time for me to watch some True Blood! Goodnight!

Books are movies in my mind.
nothing thrilling going on in my life. nothing at all. I'm getting big and completely uncomfortable almost all of the time. it's been hot and I hole myself inside. I feel bad somedays because then Hailie sits inside, but she hates the heat. so even if I do take her out, it's only for about 20 minutes at the most.
I've been spending my time reading, I think just this week a lone I've read 5 books...maybe it's been a week and a half. either way, I'm grateful I'm still working otherwise I probably wouldn't be able to afford to purchase as many books and I'd be miserable.
I have a very visional mind, when people talk to me, I picture it. So when I read, it's almost like a movie playing in my head, and I love movies. Books obviously take longer to finish, and I love that. I get to stay in another world.
I'd like to given recongition to the books that have kept my mind in a movie for the past week and a half. I will link them to their Amazon page, but I'm sure they're available in other form(at)s.
Cross My Heart by Katie Klein. Good book, cute read. I love the meaning behind the title. Out of the books I've read this week it' s my second favorite. Jaden is your uptight straight A over achiever with the 'perfect' jock boyfriend. Her dream is to go off to Harvard, but that dream is effected when she's partnered with Parker on an class project. He's the mysterious, leather wearing, motorcycle driving Parker Whalen. But she don't let this effect her way into Harvard, and she's determined to work with him. No one knows anything about Parker, and Jaden slowly unravels who he really is, and there's much more to him than what meets the eye.
So Over You by Gwen Hayes. For $1.99, it's worth reading. Layney is a serious reporter, well as serious as you can get for a high school newspaper. The newspaper is her life, and she's determined to keep it afloat. Her co-editor Jimmy Foster, aka Lucifier, loves to get under her skin and she absolutely loathes him. They need to come up with a way to save the paper. Layney feels a calendar of girls from the cheer team is sexist, they decide to use guys from all type of school clubs and in order to get to know them. Layney has to go on 12 blind dates. Not only does she learn about these guys, but she learns about herself and comes to terms with a past experience which broke her and Foster up to begin with.
Between The Lines by Tammara Webber.Wasn't bad, not my favorite. It's narrorated by two characters. Emma lands a major role in an upcoming film with starstud Alexander Reid. He's sexy, charming, and everything a girl wants. Graham Douglas is an unknown indie film star, who Emma bonds with. She finds herself with Alexander but cannot stop thinking of Graham. Any girl would trade places with Emma in a heartbeat, being with Alex is a dream come true, but why can't she get Graham off her mind?
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire. I absolutely LOVED Beautiful Disaster. It's dysfunctional, real, crazy, a whirl wind of a book! It was long, and I loved that because I didn't want it to end. Abby goes off to college with her best friend, America. She wants nothing more to leave her past behind her. Until a repilca of her past comes strolling into her life. Travis, the walking one-night stand, covered in tattoos, he's a cage fighter, and really good at it. All the girls throw themselfs at him, except Abby. This intrigues him, and Travis does something he's never done before, becomes 'just' friends with a girl. It has the whole campus talking, and Abby does not being talked about. She left home to get away from the rumors.
Flat Out Love by Jessica Park. It was quirky, and had me laugh out loud. The first half the book is somewhat boring. I was able to predict what happened, but not fully. It was heartbreaking, and I literally teared up. If it wasn't for the ending of the book, I wouldn't suggest it. Julie is off to college in Boston, when she's dropped off at her supposed apartment she comes to find she's been scammed. An old friend of her mother's invites her into their household. Their son, Matt is a geek. Their daughter, Celeste is an odd 13 year old and Julie's determined to help Celeste act like a normal teenager. Finn, is the hot older brother who travels all over the world. After a few chats, and exchanged emails Julie finds herself falling for Finn, someone she's never met. But there's much more to this family, and she plans to get down to the bottom of it.

Debra Zane, you better work miracles!
Slowly the cast for 'The Hunger Games' is coming together...and I am a really big fan of the books by Suzanne Collins.
Jennifer Lawerence as Katniss? yeah. I can kinda see it.
Donald Sutherland as Snow? yeah, sounds pretty good.
Josh Hutcherson as Peeta? WHAT!? NO WAY!
Peeta is almost the heart and soul of this book. I'm so upset over the casting. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch? Really!? It bothers me so much I don't know if I can go see the movie(s). AND they haven't even casted Finnick, which worries me even more! gah!
All I have to say is, Debra Zane...you better work a miracle!
On a happier note, True Blood begins tomorrow! I'm so freakin' excited! You know where I'll be tomorrow night!
See, I've been horrible at this blogging thing. I have nothing interesting to post.

It's been a long time..
Years ago, I use to own my own personal site. I guess I had more of a life then, stuff worth writing about. But I miss it, so here I am. I decided to make a blog again. I have no idea if it's going to be interesting, it'll probably be boring and mudane. I may do book reviews, though I'm not good at them. I'll probably bitch about stuff, people tend to piss me off..but if anything, you'll hear a lot about my family and my pregnancy.
I love recieving comments, so please make me happy :)
So other than that, this is my first post...
