BOOOOOO!

Dear Kanye West,

You may be an amazing artist, but you suck as a person.

Proof That Wearing Your PJ's in Public Isn't So Bad...

You may have remembered my post about the lovely Walmart. I do still find myself shopping there on occasion.... but I had to laugh at this website: http://peopleofwalmart.com . Since nearly every town in America has one, you will likely have seen some sort of strange character while you have been there.

So the next time you feel like wearing your Pajama's shopping, at least you won't be the most ridiculous character at Walmart!

It's Really Not for Gloves Any More...

So guess where I found the following items:

* One of my High School Report Cards
* A Wedding invitation to my friend's wedding who is now divorced
* An old friends Mission Picture
* A toothbrush
* 2 flashlights
* An old name badge
* CPR plastic shields
* A mini disco ball
* Two pencils and three pens
* 5 air fresheners
* Car registrations from the past 6 years
* An old U of U parking ticket complaint form

If you guessed in here:

Then you would be absolutely right! After my whole registration debacle I decided to go through my glove box and couldn't believe what I found in there! It really was ridiculous! So I cleaned it out and now all there is, is the owners manual, current registration, one flash light, and those air fresheners.

It seems that the only thing I didn't find in there.... gloves!

P.S. Chris and I have an Ultrasound on September 28th to find out the sex (if the baby cooperates) So cast your vote whether you think it will be a boy or girl!

I Hate the DMV

Not because they are employed by angry people (who may or may not have fangs and horns).

Not because you have to wait in line for hours on end.

Not because they are inconveniently located in the middle of nowhere.

Because they have FAILED to change my address after MULTIPLE attempts.

It all started when I bought my Mazda in 2002 (I can't believe it's been that long :') tear!). I allowed my vehicle registration to be sent to my parents house since I kept changing my apartment every other year.

Then I got married (4 years later) and I had to go down the the dreaded DMV to get a license with my married name. So I did that. There I changed my address.

Then I moved into my lovely condo. When it came time for Chris and I to register to vote, we went through the process of getting our Drivers Licenses changed to our new address. They made us put a stupid sticker on the back of it (like that is really official).

Then we both had to renew our licenses because the time had come. So they sent us new licenses with our real address.

Then last year, when it came time for me to register my vehicle... guess what showed up at my PARENTS HOUSE! That's right, my vehicle registration renewal with my MAIDEN name!

So I went DOWN to the DMV to get it all straightened out. After waiting in the line 30 minutes some lady told me I had to go through the drive thru and they would change my address and give me a new sticker there. When I went to the drive through, I never saw a person. I was speaking to a loud speaker through one of those bank-like tube systems facing a mirrored tinted window (to disguise the fangs and horns, I guess). I had to explain my situation twice... AND write my Address down on a piece of paper. I drove away thinking FINALLY it is done!

Boy was I wrong.

Guess what didn't show up THIS year. Not at my house, not at my Parents house. Where was my registration renewal form?? I am lucky I even remembered, but after 7 years of paying it in August I knew it was fast approaching.

So after many emails since the lame DMV is NO LONGER OPEN ON FRIDAY'S!! I finally figured out that they have my address wrong BY ONE LOUSY NUMBER. SO all my vehicle information is in the hands of one of my neighbors or lost in the mail. They won't let me register online either until my address is correct which is NOT MY FAULT!!! And my car is currently illegal (please don't tell the cops) until I can get this whole mess straightened out.

Needless to say, I have to make more calls to the DMV hopefully by tomorrow. But I have a sneaking suspicion that it still somehow won't be resolved even after my vehicle is registered and I am on my way for one more year...

Absent

So the REAL reason I have been suddenly ABSENT from the blogging world is... Chris and I are expecting!

While I am really excited to start our family... pregnancy has been rough for me. I've had all sorts of symptoms including the dreaded "morning sickness" which I think should be renamed to "pregnancy sickness" since I have it all day and all night sometimes. So I haven't been feeling up to sitting at a computer. I have mostly been reading and following other blogs through my beloved iPhone. And it is harder to post from an iPhone.

Also I had a little scare that made me take it easy for awhile. But everything looks OK!

Here is the first Ultrasound at 9 weeks:

And here is one I had done after my little scare at 11 1/2 weeks:

It's so crazy that there is a baby in there! I am about 12 and 1/2 weeks now so just about done with the first trimester. Hopefully the sickness will go away sooner than later!

I Come and Go

Sorry I have been gone awhile. My blogging life seems to be off and on at times. Sometimes, I think of really great blog posts when I am away from a computer and then when I have time to sit down and write it, I don't feel like doing it. And sometimes I don't have any material at all.

Any-who.

I went and saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I guess I'm one of "those" people as my sister says. Yes, some people actually dressed up, and NO I did not! And since I could never get Chris, or my cousin, or my sister to go with me, I ended up going with my cousins husband and his family. It was a good movie. Could of done without the guy that ripped one right after the most serious and sad part. He did it on purpose. But, whatever.

And my very good friend Minna had her baby and she is so cute! Congrats to Minna and Ben!

Pro's and Con's

The Pro's of scrapbooking:

The Con's:

(Not to mention the TIME to set up, create, and then clean up.)

Probably why my enthusiasm for scrapbooking has slowed.

I feel the same way about cooking.
