Happiness is...

A clean house decorated for the upcoming holiday.
A warm baby asleep in your arms.
Big eyes and an even bigger smile when she sees your face.
Pumpkins!
Christmas time!
Watching family interact with each other.

Tacos!

Tonight I am having soft tacos with cheese and lettuce for dinner! I am very excited and just wanted to share the news with you. This is one of the few foods that I have been able to eat since about the 3rd month of my pregnancy which means that while my husband is sick of them I could eat them almost every night. 

Enjoy your evening meal!

Did you miss me?

and after many many months I'm back! (Hello Kelsey, my one reader!)

Why you might ask was I gone so long? There is a baby on the way! Baby is set to make an appearance around June 7th and spent the first few months kicking my but. I'm finally feeling better and being more active so I thought I would try blogging again.

These last few months have been crazy, starting with morning (all day) sickness which I thought was the flu and ending with a pretty big baby bump now. I also turned 28, semi quit my job, and am cleaning masses of craft (sad) items out of my house to make room for the little one. On top of all of that around Christmas my Zena kitty was diagnosed with thyroid issues and we have been trying to sort out her medication.

I know that I will end up pretty busy in the next few months continuing to get ready so my goal is at least one post a week on something. Maybe somedays it will be a link, a photo, or just a few short words. We will see...

Thanks for welcoming me back and I promise next time I won't leave you for so long!

One of those days

Thursday was one of those days for me-you know the type of day where you are super busy and everyone chooses to stupid as well. I ended the day with hot fudge sundae, fries, and after Nathan got home The West Wing and him. It helped me breathe and then the day was over.

What do you do on your days that are difficult? Are you an comfort eater (like me) or do you turn to other things.

Bad Villains make for Bad TV

I am watching The Chase right now and super frustrated with the villain of the week. He's a guy who was sent away to prison and the police auctioned off his cars, now he is going after the people who bought his cars and is killing them. We know that he is looking for something but still to kill people who bought his cars from a police auction it just isn't that great of a storyline. (he was looking for cash)

Also they completely underused Spike (with an Irish accent) in last week's episode of Hawaii 5-0, he was in it for a total of like 8 minutes! I would have watched Hawaii 5-0 all season if he had been the big bad. Now I might just tune in here and there.

Smallville

I don't like Lex 2.0-hold on let's see if he dies in this episode...ok he died so I only didn't have to like him for a little while. Not sure how I feel about Lex 2.5 (the soldier in the fire was a nice touch of his evilness)

Chloe just traded herself for Ollie-this makes me sad.

I do like Pa Kent and miss him and Ma.

Jor-El is stupid and Clark should never listen to him.

Nathan doesn't understand how I can't keep track of all of Superman's villians-they run together in my mind.

I have to go now my cat is stalking my meatloaf and I would like to finish eating it.

Super and Strength

Wednesday tv

And on to Wednesday tv viewing....I have to say not having a dvr is making my viewing schedule difficult this year. Tonight only 3 days in I was ready to call comcast and have my cable hooked back up. I didn't but was so close. Tonight has been a hulu night- watching Running Wilde, Warehouse 13, finishing The Chase, and right now Castle. I'm still angry with the way Castle ended last season so they are going to have to do some pretty great episodes this season to get me back.

Warehouse 13-I'm sad that HG is evil and intrigued with the thought that Claudia could replace Mrs.F. I feel that it's to soon for Pete to be falling in love. The Chase was pretty decent and the bad guy was truly scary. I will watch again although it is kinda an In Plain Sight wanna be. Running Wilde could be fun, I might save this one up and watch a few in a row.

Tomorrow night is Bones and Grey's Anatomy-I am super excited for the Christina/Owen wedding and not so much for Booth's new girlfriend. I was a late comer to Bones but I fell quick for them. I am so frustrated with the wiil they or won't they crap. Let's see if I make it to the end of this season.

Sweet Dreams
