The Happiest Day Of My Life

Nine Weeks

According to my little ticker, my baby is already flipping people off. I don't like that. But really it just means he or she has little fingers!!! Yay! I have started feeling better in the mornings and the evenings and in between. I have learned that I have to take my shower at night, because if I shower when I wake up, I get really nauseaus while showering. I have also learned that if I get hungry, I must eat within 30 minutes or my stomach will hurt really bad and then I won't be able to eat anything. My lower stomach is pooching out some. I feel really fat.

I will be glad when the whole wedding thing is over. I'm excited but just anxious because of certain things (people) and I'm afraid someone is going to start problems and not act like an adult. Long story.

Blue Eyes started working on the house again last night (thank God). We are going to use the big, new room as our office. It's going to be a pretty big office, but we decided not to make it our master bedroom, because it will be too far from the baby, and there is not a bathroom on that side of the house. (I get up to pee 3 times a night, so this is important) Once we get done with that room, and I'm hoping it doesn't take too much longer, we will get all of our office stuff out of the room that it's in now, and move it so we can start cleaning and fixing up the baby's room. The hard wood floor needs to be restained in one spot, and there is a spot on the ceiling that needs to be fixed. It will all get done, but I'm just realizing that it's going to come so much faster than we are planning. I bought something for the baby. Already, I know! It's such a cute little pajama set with the booties and hat. The sleeves fold over the baby's hands and it makes a little lamb. Sooo sweet. It's in yellow. But we know we are having a boy. We know it. We should find out in October for sure. I guess I can post the names. It's not a secret or anything. Ok, if it's a boy, and it will be, the name is going to be Braden Cory. Blue Eyes' middle name is Cory and we both really like the name Braden. We are also keeping the "BR" names. Oh sorry, Blue Eyes' real name is Brandon. I'm sure I've said that before, but just in case you are new or something! And if we have a girl it will be Brayleigh Dawn. My middle name is Leigh and my mom's middle name is Dawn.

Well, it's raining outside and my boss isn't here, so I think I'm going to crawl under my desk and take a nap. And here is a picture of what our baby should look like right now, at 9 weeks:He or she is the size of a medium green olive.

Also, do not Google "9 week fetus". Just don't.

Here I am!

Yes, I am still alive!! Kind of.

I have been so tired, and so sick the last couple of weeks. I missed Goodwill Wednesday. Sorry, ladies. But I've also realized that the Goodwill here sucks, so I don't even think it's worth playing anymore. They don't have very good treasures. So, unless I go to Austin where the Goodwill's are "cool", I'm not going to participate.

Now, on to this whole pregnancy thingy. I feel HORRIBLE! I haven't thrown up yet, but I almost wish I would. This is the worst feeling ever! Don't get me wrong, I am so, so happy that I am pregnant. This is something I've wanted since I was little! Is that weird? But really, all I ever wanted when I was little was to be a Mommy. I will put up with all the sickness if it means I get to hold a perfect little baby in March. We went to my appointment last week and got to have another ultrasound. The baby looks like a smashed grape! This is my 7w2d ultrasound:

Aww. Isn't it so cute? I'll be glad when I can tell what it is! We go back August 4, and we should be able to hear the heart beat. I can't wait! They are monitoring my blood pressure and adjusted my medicine for that, so I have to keep that under control.

Blue Eyes and I will become husbee and wifee on August 15 in a very small ceremony. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Blue Eyes! Only, my eyes are green, so, uh, that doesn't really make sense. Oh well!

And I am very sorry for not blogging, or leaving comments. Please understand that it took A LOT for me to write this. Now I need a nap.

XoXo

I Can't Help It!!!!!

So I'm a huge mess of emotions right now. Up until last night, I had only cried once. And that was from looking at picture frames on Babies R Us. It was a really cute one.

Last night, I was in a terrible mood. It's like PMS, only 12 times worse. And I knew I was in a bad mood, but I guess when you are pregnant, you can't help it. I hate being mean to Blue Eyes. After a evening of being in the worse mood of my LIFE, we got ready to go to bed. I always feel nauseous at night, which makes my mood even worse. He already laid down, and I started to and then remembered that I hadn't taken my medicine yet. I got frustrated, mostly with myself, and stood back up,and he was like, "You don't have to be such a grumpy ass."

I lost it.

I stood up, grabbed my medicine, and started crying. In the middle of my cry fest I said, "I can't heeeeelllllllllp ittt!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I walked off towards the kitchen and B.E. told me to come back, but I couldn't. I went in the kitchen to take my medicine but crying hysterically makes that a little bit difficult. When I was finally done, I went and laid down. He asked me if I was done crying. I wanted to cry again, but I didn't. He kissed my cheek and told me he loved me and we went to bed. Then I woke up like every hour.

Uhhh. I really hope tonight is a better night.


How can you make yourself in a better mood when your hormones are going crazy?!?!

Doctor appointment and Goodwill Wednesday are tomorrow!! Don't faaaaa-git!

My First Award!

Wow! How exciting! My first ever award was given to me by The Two Twins. It's the Honest Scrap award, and according to their description, the Honest Scrap award is given by other bloggers who consider a blog's content or design to be brilliant. The awardee must then post ten honest things about themselves and pass the award on to other bloggers who fit the bill.

Thank you ladies!!

Ok...so here we go!

1) Since the day I found out I was pregnant, I have not slept the entire night without waking up and thinking I must be hurting the baby because of the way I'm sleeping or laying. Even though I know the baby is the size of a pin head right now. I am so paranoid.

2) I have taken 8 pregnancy tests, because again, I am so paranoid. I know I'm pregnant. I feel like crap and it's been confirmed by my Doctor. But still. Par-a-no-ia.

3) I usually sit at my desk everyday and read blogs instead of doing my work. I mean, for the most part, I get my work done, but, I would say 80% of my day is spent reading blogs and searching for new blogs to read.

4) I cuss more than I would like to. Not in public and not at work, but at home. Before this baby is born (or grows ears for that matter) I would really like to control my mouth.

5) I put my headset on at work when someone walks in my office so I don't have to talk to them. Not Blue Eyes or my boss, but the other tards I work with.

6) I am very, very, very scared of roaches. They are gross and they just freak me out and I would rather run around the street nekkid, than even SEE a roach. Ickkk.

7) I made up names for everyone I work with. They aren't nice names.

8) My brother Josh and I used to play this office game where we had our own business. The business was called Graphics World and I was the employee and he would call in and order things. He was always someone different. The last time we played this game I was probably 14. How embarrassing.

9) I watch B.E. sleep when I can't because he looks so peaceful and he isn't an "ugly sleeper". He is very handsome in his sleep!

10) After doing this, I realized how hard it was for me to come up with ten honest things about myself. Sad.

Whew. That took a lot out of me. Seriously.

So, the blogs I would like to pass this award to are:

*Courtni at Living Wicked

*Ashley at Three P's In A Pod

*Andhari at Insomniac Lolita

I could have tagged so many others, but what fun would that have been? Maybe if I get another award some day, I can tag everyone else!!

Have a great Monday!!

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 3

Allow me to introduce you to Tito.
Tito never leaves his dog house without his stylish bandanna, too-cool-for-school shades, a sweet leather jacket, and a nice little hoop earring.

When Tito isn't chowing down on homemade tacos and rice, he is at the local pool hall, drinking his favorite beer, Miller Light. His theme song is Low Rider, and I'll let the video prove to you, just how kick ass Tito really is.

(sorry about the poor sound. i took this with my blackberry, in my office, hoping nobody would walk by.)





Don't forget to go here to see other awesome Goodwill Treasures!!

Ahh..That's The Sound Of Me Breathing...

Breathing relief that is.

My numbers went up just like they were supposed to. Wednesday, my HCG levels were 383. Today they were 735. The nurse said they were "beautiful". I'll take that as a very good thing. She said since my numbers are that low, and we couldn't see anything on the ultrasound, that I'm probably only a few weeks. This is going to be a long 9 months. I go back July 8 for another ultrasound. I hope we can see our little blob! I haven't been sick yet. The only thing that I've had is pain in my booooobies and I'm really tired in the afternoons.

This weekend I'm going to try and clean the house really good because Thursday we are going to get my 10 year old cousin and she is going to stay with us for the Fourth of July weekend. She's so much fun to be around!!

Well, looks like I have a wedding to plan. Yay!

Unexpected Happiness

I missed Goodwill Wednesday, and for that, I am very sorry. But, my friends, other things have been going on in Breezy's Crazy World, and I think I am ready to share them.

Last Thursday, I went grocery shopping. While shopping, I decided to just pick up a pregnancy test. Since I have polycystic ovaries, my periods are very irregular. So I never know if I'm late or what. When I got home I took said test. Oh. That looks like a faint plus sign, I say to myself. So I say, "Hey Blue Eyes, what does this look like to you?" Blue Eyes responds with, "It looks like a plus sign." I said, "Yea, that's kind of what I thought too." He told me to go get another test and so off to the store I went. I came back with two more, which, would also be positive. The next day I called my OB's office and talked to my nurse. She said there was no need to come in for blood work, if I had taken 3 tests and they were all positive. She set me up with my first appointment, and transferred me to the billing department where I almost had a heart attack when they told me how much we had to pay.

"$430.50 a month for 6 months, and your first payment is due on Wednesday, June 24, when you come in for your first appointment."

Holy geesus. When I told Blue Eyes he didn't understand why we had to pay so much whenI have insurance. I explained to him that I hadn't met my deductible, and that is why. Fortunatley, I am able to change my insurance because of open enrollment, so all of my other payments will be much, much lower. We were so glad to hear that.

I went to my parents' house this weekend for our family reunion and Father's Day, and Blue Eyes stayed home so he could spend time with his Dad. I had been home for about an hour when I just blurted it out.

"I'm pregnant."

My Mom started jumping up and down, she was so excited. My Dad just stared at me.

Blue Eyes has been paying on an engagement ring for me since January, and we were going to go to Vegas in December to get married. We aren't engaged yet, but I knew about the ring and I knew he was going to ask me sometime this summer. We are doing everything backwards, obviously. So we are planning on getting married in August, at his Dad's home. It will just be our immediate family. He still has to propose to me though, of course!!

I went to the Doctor yesterday for my first ultrasound and the nurse couldn't see anything. I was really disappointed, because that was my main fear, not being able to see anything! She said she thought I was probably not very far along and sent me to get blood work done. I will go back Friday to get the second round of blood work to make sure my numbers are going up. Also, tonight I will start taking progesterone because that level was at a 12.1 and they want it over 20.

Please, if you pray, pray for us. I honestly never thought I could get pregnant because of the PCOS and now I am terrified. I'm not terrified to be a Mom, I just don't want anything happening to this baby. Pray that my numbers have doubled or tripled when I go back tomorrow please! We are so happy and cannot wait to start this life together.

Oh yea, I also felt it was necessary to take 7 tests. They were all positive. I just wanted to make sure!!!

And?!?! The nurse also said it looked like I had released a bunch of eggs at once, so, uh, yea. Twins anyone?? Triplets??

A Special Lunch Date

Blue Eyes is working out of town today so I had to eat lunch alone. Well, I thought I was going to eat alone.

I went to Sonic (healthy! nom, nom nom!) and then to the park to eat at a picnic table, alone. I felt like such a laaahoooosur. As I was sitting there, enjoying my tater toots (not a typo), all the little prairie dogs started coming over to me. "I'll just give that one a tater toot." I thought to myself. Or I probably said it out loud, because I tend to talk to myself when I'm alone. This little guy could NOT just eat one! He kept begging for more. He would stand on his legs and rub his hands together. It sort of scared me. It was the same one that kept coming to me. He was getting so close that I was a little bit nervous. The other ones were staying far away.

I named the one that kept coming to me Charlie.

We have another date Monday at noon. I can't wait.


Charlie, eating a toot.


Charlie, (I think, not sure, because they all look alike) eating some bread. Nom, nom, nom.

And in this picture, Charlie is telling me to call him. "Yo, uhh, Breezy, don't furrr-get to calls me."

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 2

Oh you lucky devils.

Today, on the second edition of Goodwill Wednesday, you get a two-fer-one, AND you get to see Blue Eyes looking his best.

This trip to Goodwill was much better than the first trip. I found two excellent treasures that I HAD to share with you. I don't know what was going through whoever's mind when they dropped these items off, because as you will see in a hot minute, they are to.die.for.

(please ignore his strange facial expressions. It's the only way I could get him to model my treasures)

OK.....for your viewing pleasure I give you:

The fashionable, head warming, rabbit fur-hat-thingy:
Wow. Just wow. I'm not sure what's worse. The hat. Or the face he's making. Can I drop HIM off at Goodwill? Just sayin.

Secondly, my Blue Eyes is modeling the most professional looking Fred Flintstone tie I have ever seen. Ever.
Just so you can see what the whole "outfit" looks like.....and yes, it is now his favorite outfit.....
There you go peeps. Your second edition of Goodwill Wednesdays.

And, don't forget to visit The Two Twins to see what kind of awesome they found this week!!

Happy Hump Day Yall!!!

Embarrass Yourself Friday

I'm so glad today is Friday. This has been a long week. I think I say that every Friday but that's only because I mean it.

It was 106 yesterday. It was miserable! We made hamburgers on the grill and then stayed inside all night. I don't think our air conditioner ever turned off. I wasn't feeling very good and fell asleep on the couch. Around 10, B.E. woke me up and we went to bed. I was kind of out of it all night. I kept waking up and falling back asleep. Blue Eyes is known for talking in his sleep and saying some pretty funny things. I can't even believe what I'm about to share, but I'm not calling this post Embarrass Yourself Friday for nothing.

At one point he woke up (at least I thought he was awake) and goes, "Are you ok?" I said, "Yes, I'm fine." Then he grabbed my hand and put it on his *blush* man parts and says, "This is how you make it's heart stop." I just laid there and was like, "Uhh, hahaa??!?!!" Then he said, "I love you."

I told him about it this morning and he could not stop laughing. He didn't remember it at all.

I was putting my shoes on when he came in the bedroom and looked at me, and got really close and then goes, "Hold still" like he was going to get something off my face. He got closer and closer and then I'm like "OUCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He pulled a hair on my face. He thought it was just a hair that landed on my face. It was attached. It freaking hurt! Just so you know, I'm not all gross or anything! It was a little hair and it was BLONDE thank you very much. The light was hitting it just perfect and that's why he could see it!!! I plucked it out. It still embarrassed me! It really hurt too!

Have a great weekend!!!!

Goodwill Wednesday-Edition 1

Welcome friends!!

Today brings the first edition of Goodwill Wednesday! Every Wednesday, (until I get tired of going there, because eww and yuck) I will be presenting you with my newest treasure that I have added to mine and Blue Eyes' home decor. He is totally thrilled by the way. Anyone catch that sarcasm? Anyone?

My lovely ladies over at The Two Twins are joining me on this, so after you read all about my awesome treasure, don't forget to go over there and check their's out!!

Ok, on with the show!!

As soon as I walked in to Goodwill, I noticed how many people were there! My gosh. It was like a 50% off sale at Bloomingdales was going on. I moseyed on back to the "knick knacks", if you will, and was very disappointed with my findings. If this is how it's going to be every time I go, I will have to resort to buying cheap, disgusting, tacky heels that they were offering in the "shoe section".

I walked around for about 5 minutes and then I saw it. I've really been wanting a little something to go with our neutral colored living room to spice things up and when I saw this guy, I could NOT pass it up.

Ladies and Gents, I give you,

The freaky looking lamb thing with cock-eyed eyes candle:

Perhaps my favorite thing about this little treasure is the dirt all over his face. It really gives it that special touch, don't you think?

Can I be honest here? My insides were so happy that this little fella was going to be all mine for only 39cents. I mean, what a BARGAIN, right? I'm just glad I got there when I did, because who knows how much longer he would have been available!

I'm thinking about putting him on Blue Eyes' night stand and lighting it. Can you imagine waking up to those eyes?

And just for the record, when B.E. found out what I was doing, he said, very nicely, "You are retarded."

Aww...love.....

Well, that's it for now. Come back next Wednesday and see what God awful piece of crap treasure I can find!!

Dear Weekend:

You really SUCK for a girl on a diet. I mean, come on weekend. Couldn't you be a little bit easier on me? For 2 days (omg, i suck and have no will power, obviously) I did so good. I ate my three meals and two snacks that were approved and allowed on said diet. I felt good about myself for those two days. I lost a whole pound (which may or may not have been water weight but still it's a freaking pound!) and I was starting to think just maybe, maybe this was going to work for me. Maybe I wasn't going to be fat forever. But no. Then you graced me with your presence and RUINED it! You ruined it by inviting beer and more jalapeno poppers and banana pudding. And ranch dressing. And unauthorized marinade on my chicken boobies. And I'm sure there was something else, but now I can't remember. Oh, you forgot to invite water and vegetables, so thanks a lot Mister Weekend. And I know you are a Mister because only a MAN would forget to invite vegetables and water. And, thanks to your shenanigans, I gained that pound back. Normally I can't wait for the weekend to get here. Not in this case. I'll show you. While Mrs. Weekday is here, I'll show you. I will lose that pound and then some, so that when you roll back around, I will have will power. Your friends, beer, bacon, ranch and whateverelseicanteat, are NOT INVITED to my house next weekend. Do NOT bring them.

Vending Machine Repair Lady

My job requires me to do quite a few different things. I schedule appointments for Internet installs, fixes and disconnects. I turn you off if you don't pay. I send you a bill for the equipment if you don't return it.

I'm in control of the vending machine.

......

Yea. Just take a moment to let that sink in. Ok. Done? You should be.

I'm just going to go ahead and say, that the vending machine, yea, it's the hardest part of my job. I HATE that vending machine with a PASSION. It's a piece of junk (which is why I finally talked my boss into letting me order a new, improved RED one! It's pretty!) Anyway, where was I? Ahh, yes, the vending machine from hell. It is the biggest pile of crap I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It leaks water like a mofo. The manufacture said it's "because we live in Texas, and it's humid." What-ev-uhhh dooode. The machine isn't outside! It takes money and doesn't give you your snack and the cans get stuck and then they explode, leaving me a mess to clean up. I have to get up at least 8 times a day to help someone with it. We are loosing money now because no body trusts it. I have to think of some better items to put in the new machine, so I can gain their trust back!Yea, that should do it.

I am so glad I get to order a new one today! Maybe I won't have to deal with it as much! The only fun part is going to Sam's to buy all the stuff for it. That's fun. Because it's not my money.

Day 1 of my diet went good yesterday. Until dinner. Blue Eyes just HAD to make jalapenos on the grill. The peppers, I can eat. The bacon, yea, not so "allowed" unless it was turkey bacon and of course it was not. I also messed up because I ate a "no added sugar" Popsicle and it was supposed to be "sugar free". Dammit with all the technicalities. I still managed to lose half a pound. Yes, I'm counting half pounds.

I made a yummy breakfast this morning. Scrambled eggs with chives OH MY! Sorry. And I gulped down another V8 (is that not the smallest bowl of eggs you've ever seen?). I swear I can feel the V8 coming back up my throat while I'm drinking it. I hope I don't screw everything up this weekend!

Here's to thinking positive!

Thank You!

First of all, thank yall so, so much for the nice comments that were left on my post yesterday. Even though I don't personally know most of yall, it still meant a lot to me.

My Mom is going to be ok! Her Doctor wanted her to come in yesterday, and he told her it was not a "bad" tumor and it looked liked she has had it for awhile. He said something about blood vessels forming.....I'm really not sure. I just know that she is going to be ok. I was really worried and I know she was too, so I'm very thankful that she got some good news. So thank yall again for the prayers and positive thoughts that were sent!

I started my diet today. So far, it's going good. I mean, it's only 10am, but still, I'm doing good! This morning for breakfast I ate 2 hard boiled eggs and I drank a hot and spicy V8. I'm not a big fan of V8. It is so thick and it's really hard to swallow, but at least I got a full serving of vegetables at breakfast! Hopefully, I will learn to love it. I have to really plan all my meals and snacks the night before so I'm not sure I really like the time that took me last night, but I think it will be worth it.

Blue Eyes and I went and played tennis last night. We stayed for approximately 7 minutes. A tennis player, he is not. I wish I knew someone here that played tennis. I think it was his goal to be as bad as he possibly could be, so that I would stop asking him to play with me. Sneaky.

OH the thing, from the other day, that I couldn't tell yet? I had a job interview for a company that I've been wanting to work at for awhile. She said she would call me for a 2nd interview, but she hasn't yet, and now I'm not excited about it anymore. Oh well. Something will come along.

And lastly, my girls over at The Two Twins and I will be starting something next Wednesday we would like to call, Goodwill Wednesday. We will be purchasing treasures from the wonderful place known as Goodwill, and posting pictures of them for your viewing pleasure. Just in case you don't know what can be found at Goodwill, you will after next Wednesday. And what's so fun is that we will be able to see the different treasures from Texas and Pennsylvania! This should be interesting. I am also planning on selling all my treasures on here, so be sure you place a bid, because I have a feeling you are not going to want to miss out on the awesomeness that I will be selling!

Have a great Thursday!

I Still Need Her

There is something about me that I haven't ever shared. And I say "about me" because your family is what makes you for the most part, right?

I have an awesome Mom. Seriously, she is such a good Mom. She didn't work when we were little so that she could stay home with us. She made us eat a healthy breakfast and we weren't allowed to eat a lot of sugar or sodas. We hated that then, but now I understand why. It was because she cared about us. She gives the best advice, and she is honest. And she is so kind to everyone she meets. She is compassionate for people she doesn't even know, and she never judges anyone.

When I was in the third grade, I liked this boy. His name was Joey English. My Mom was going to come eat lunch with me in the cafeteria (yuck) and I asked her to please wear the pretty scarf in her hair. She would always wear these scarfs in her soft blonde hair, and I thought she was sooo pretty (because she is) and I guess I thought that the boy would like me more if he saw how pretty my Mom was. Silly little third grader.

Anyway, about the part that I haven't ever shared with you. My Mom also happens to be a recovering alcoholic. She's been to rehab 4 times. When all of this happened it was so weird for us, because my Mom never drank when we were younger. It was when me and my brothers moved out, it started. She has stayed sober on and off over the last 3 years or so. There have been times when I really would have liked to slap her across the face. She's put my Dad through a lot of hard times as well as me and my brothers.

Yesterday, apparently, she went and got something to drink and she fell in the drive way and hit her head on my Dad's truck. My Grandma couldn't wake her up so she had to call an ambulance. Once she got to the hospital, they did a CT scan, just to make sure she didn't hurt herself.

They found a tumor.

My Mom has a tumor in her head. I am freaking out and I'm scared and I don't know what to do or think, because this is my Mom. I need her here for a lot longer. I need her to be here when I get married. And when I have a baby, because God knows, I won't know what to do. I need her to be ok. She goes to the Doctor again tomorrow, so hopefully there will be more information. But until then, I am freaking out. You know how people always say "everything happens for a reason"? Well maybe it was a good thing that she got drunk and hit her head so that she could have the scan. I don't know. I just know that I still need her.

Where Have I Been?

Oh wow.

Over 1 week.

I have been really busy with work and really busy at home and I haven't really even had time to read blogs let alone take the time to write in my own. Blue Eyes and I have been going to the lake the last couple of weekends to fish and hang out. Last weekend we were on the lake for 7 hours. I caught a small fish. That is all. He caught a sunburn. It was still fun though.

I'm still getting headaches almost everyday, so that's not fun. I just keep taking my medicine though and hope that I'm not destroying my liver in the process.

Something happened this morning and I'm excited about it, but I can't say what it is. Not yet. Maybe in a few days I can. Ewww....ahhhh.....the suspense is killing you, I know it!

I'm starting the South Beach Diet Thursday. Wicked has inspired me, and it's going to work for me, I know it. So tomorrow when I get paid, I will go buy all healthy groceries and I will keep yall updated on how it's working for me. I'm still doing my at home exercises (sometimes). I have a really, really cute pair of jeans that I bought 2 years ago, that still have the tags on them, because I swore to myself THEN that I would wear them. I didn't think it would be this long. They are a size 9. I'm not telling what I wear now, but I will say, it's not a size 9.

Oh look. It's only 10am. Crap.

Friday! Friday! Friday!

I'm so glad today is Friday and we have a 3 day weekend! Yes! Yes! Yes! I haven't been feeling too great this entire week, so I'm really needing this little break. We don't have a lot of plans for the long weekend. I think we are just going to take our little fishing boat out on the lake and try and catch us some dinner. Not really. But yes.

I hope everyone has a great long weekend!!



Weeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

The One Where I'm In A Mood

This morning when I got to work, my supervisor asked if we had heard about our Mayor. Apparently, he had run off to Mexico with his illegal partner. He was the best Mayor this town has ever had, and I'm pretty sure everyone knew he was gay. He said that he left because he knew by his partner being here, it was illegal, and he didn't feel right about it. So imagine all the hateful comments and horrible things people are saying about him. Even though, everyone knows he was a damn good Mayor. I heard someone say, "You know, even though he was gay, he was still a good Mayor." Hmm. Ok. Even though he was gay. I can hear in the office next door the jokes that are being made about him. Why do people think it's ok? Why is it funny?

And then, of course you have American Idol. I'm willing to bet if Adam wasn't gay, he would have won. He was an excellent singer. Not to say that Kris wasn't, but I just have a strong feeling that because of Adam's lifestyle, that's why he didn't win.

Maybe I should have started this post out differently.

Hi world. I would like to introduce you to one of my best friends. The funniest, most hysterical, would do anything for you, outgoing and lovable person I know, my brother Josh. Who, also, happens to be gay. I love him, so much, that I find myself taking up for every gay person out there when someone says something hateful. I love him, so much, that I find myself in tears, while screaming at a guy I used to work with for saying horrible things to another guy at work that happened to be gay. I love him so much, that I am writing a post, all for him. A lot of sisters don't have a close relationship with their brothers. I do. I am so thankful for that. I just get so tired of hearing close minded people saying things that really, they shouldn't have ever let leave their mouths.

I love you Joshie. You are what other people should strive to be. You are so smart, so funny and so friendly. I can't imagine my life without you. Even though you are gay.

Weekend Review...And Away We Gooooo

This weekend was full of the following:

*Pizza, beer and falling asleep between 6pm-8pm on a Friday night
*Movies
*Sanding my finger nail off
*Really white ass cracks
*Eating candy for dinner
*Realizing bikes were not meant for vagina's

I know after reading that preview, you are dying to hear about it allllll!!!! So, on with the show!

Friday night, Blue Eyes and I were both so stressed out from work. Because of that one Nasty McNasterson (who, btw, quit over the weekend. pink eye my ass, mister), it made both of our jobs that much harder on Friday. Needless to say, beer and pizza were in the plans for our Friday night. The pizza was grrrreat, thank you Mister Papa John. Unfortunately, the only thing Mister Keystone did for us was make us very, very sleepy. We each drank one beer. (well, i wasted 2 beers because the mug i poured my first one into stunk like shrimp from the freezer) So I DRANK only 1. B.E. said he really needed to take a rest on the couch and I decided it was going to be a great time for me to redesign my bloggy blog. I sat down at my computer with said beer in hand, and sat there, and sat there, and sat there. Just staring at the screen. I want something so cute and so different, but I couldn't come up with anything. Around 8pm, I went and laid on the bed. At 10:30 I was awoken to a kiss and a hug. Apparently we had both fallen asleep between 6-8. Friday night FAIL.

Saturday we planned on working on the house some more. Yay. I got to sand some more of the wall. I sanded too far and off went the tip of my finger nail. See, this is why I don't like helping, I always get an injury! We didn't work too much on the house, so we decided to watch a movie, which turned into 3 movies on Saturday. We watched Taken(excellent), Twilight (awesome) and My Bloody Valentine (suck). It was nice and relaxing.

We spent most of Sunday doing laundry and cleaning up. We realized after eating our cream of wheat that we were very low on groceries. We don't get paid until Wednesday! Yikes. So we did what any responsible adult would do. We went and sold our DVD's that we don't watch to Hastings so that we could score us some snacks. $16.48 later, we went to Wal-Mart where we purchased cheese dip, pringles (pickle flavor, yum!) and candy. This is what we ate for dinner Sunday night. (don't feel sorry for us, i could have made sloppy josephs if i wanted to). After we ate our deee-lish dinner and watched Marley and Me (ohmygawd i was bawling), we went for a bike ride. I'll just go ahead and say that I'm pretty out of shape. BUT, what makes it even worse, is when you are riding behind your boyfriend, who doesn't care what anyone thinks about him, is showing crack for the entire world to see. Every.single.time we ride bikes, his ass crack is showing. I'm like, "OMG B.E. pull up your pants/pull down your shirt", while I'm laughing hysterically as another car passes us. Laughing while riding bikes WHILE you are out of shape is no easy task. He wouldn't because, again, that's B.E. and he does not care who sees his booty.

Also, there is no way that God ever intended bikes for a vagina. Not.at.all.

Just sayin'.
