TMI Tuesday - 7 Deadly Sins Edition

Questions are from here.

1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?
I have many TV boyfriends that include but are not limited to: Mike Rowe, Agent Sealy Booth, Jim Halpern, Jack Donaghy and many, many more.

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton?
I really have a thing for spinach dip it seems. Dip in general I can pretty much eat without stopping. That and beer. My God I miss beer.

3. GREED: What are you greedy for?
I am greedy for time with Husband. Like, it's all I think about during the week. How much I want him to live with me.

4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?
Pajama-jammy-jam. All day in elastic waistbands, parked in front of the TV, under the marital quilt with snack food easily accessible.

5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone.
Oh-em-gee this happens almost every day. I have a bit of a temper and a lot of trouble holding it in. I'm honest to a fault and tend to let you have it if you deserve it.

6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why?
I envy women that enjoy their pregnancy because so far it's been a pretty rough ride. I've lost about 12 pounds thanks to morning sickness, food tastes not so good and I'm in general an emotional disaster. A wee bit of a train wreck if you will.

7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of?
I often have to admit that I don't know as much as I think I do. Right now I am proud of the fact that I haven't thrown up today.

Rainy Day Haiku Friday

It never rains in
Southern California, right?
That's what they tell me
***
But they are liars
It's raining like a bastard
Has been for hours now
***
And through tomorrow
Not on Superbowl Sunday
Let's just hope that's true

Twilight

Yes. I finally gave in. And apparently, this series is all I'm blogging about lately. Does that make me a Twi-hard? God I hope not. I went in thinking I wouldn't like this movie but I kind of did. Kristen Stewart wasn't annoying as I thought she would be. She does make a lot of "what's that smell?" faces though. Then again, Robert Pattinson also seems to be in a lot of discomfort and/or pain throughout the movie too. Maybe that's the direction they were given. I just don't know. Taylor Lautner is only in a couple scenes but boy is he cute. I'll probably watch the next one just to see him all ripped up. Rawr. I totally think Edward is super good looking in a James Dean sort of way and BFF was right: he can DRIVE that Volvo. Haha. I can see now why folks were making fun of the sparkly vampire. Yeah... no. But it's a teenager movie and if I were a teenager once again, I would have totally loved it and have the poster hanging in my room and buttons on my purse and all that jazz.

MORAL OF THAT STORY: This film is rated PG-13 for some violence and a scene of sensuality. A scene. Singular.

Book Review Monday

I've completed the third of four books written by Stephenie Meyer about vegetarian, no-sex-havin' vampires, sexy werewolves and a whiny teenager named Bella. Ok, I'm being unfair. Truth is I'm having a hard time distinguishing Bella from the actress who plays her in the movies and I'm just over looking at Kristen Stewart in the gossip pages. Why won't she smile? She gets to kiss hot dudes and act for a living? Ugh. But I digress.
So. Eclipse. I bought this book for $5 so it was a steal. And it was entertaining. I just don't get how teenagers aren't trying to do the nasty a lot more than they are in these books. I mean, aside the fact that I think the author is Mormon. The way she describes Jacob the werewolf and Edward the vampire, you know there are some hormones a firin' and these are some good lookin' dudes. Then again, teens, just say "no" because abstinence and/or safe sex is a lot easier than being pregnant. Trust me. I know. Anyway. I am totally team Jacob. I'll take the hot-blooded, feisty rebel over the undead gentleman any day.
Here's my dilemma. I don't want to buy the fourth book in hardcover and I really don't do the library. And I don't know if I can really devote myself to reading Breaking Dawn right now. I keep wondering how this series is going to going to wrap up. Am I going to be disappointed? Does she get better at describing the fight scenes? Stuff like that. I guess if you have read it, drop me a line and let me know how you felt about it but no spoilers please. Thanks.

Heartbeat Haiku Friday

Doppler stethoscope
Still too soon to hear a sound
Quiet "Next Friday"
***
Went from "Yes, we will"
To "Might not really happen"
In one minute flat
***
Still not a bad sign
But not the sign I wanted
Ultrasound Monday

New To Me

This morning I am at my desk, typing away in some super comfortable maternity jeans and sipping not-so-awful decaf coffee. At 4 o'clock I have a doctor's appointment to hear the fetus's heartbeat for the first time. Since December I have been nothing but hormones and nerves. My health has been substandard but at least now I can breathe out of my nose even if I do get winded trying on clothes at Motherhood Maternity. I miss the person I used to be and look forward to a return to normalcy soon. Everything sets me off into crazy defensive mode or makes me cry. My patience is as non-existent as my libido. I find myself able to sleep 12 hours at a time and I'm not crazy about that at all. Food doesn't taste the same; nothing is particularly delicious. I have these red bumps all over my chest that look like pimples but they don't really pop. I have a cluster of at least a half a dozen cold sores in the crook of my chin below my lip. I have some kind of weird rash/itchiness on my legs that only seems to rear its ugly head when I get under the covers to go to bed at night. Needless to say, pregnancy has not been kind to me. The morning sickness seems to abate when I don't take the stupid vitamin when I wake up so that's nice. I think I've lost a couple pounds from not drinking beer and if I gained any weight it seems to have balanced off so I don't notice a significant change in my body. Yesterday I wore my regular, pre-pregnancy jeans with a rubber band keeping them up. That was mildly hilarious.
So yeah. That's my pregnant update. More for me than you but maybe you care about these things.
