The Barrel

Yes... you know you watch too much TV when "Simpsonize Me!" is a phrase you're familiar with. Since when did televised advertising take on this cultural dimension? Truth be told we really like South Park better anyway. Edginess in animated characters is so critical!

Ah well- I needed something to smile about. And at this point in the pregnancy I was thrilled to see that a barrel was one of the clothing choices. Now if they just came in more colors...

Halfway through the week and "OMFD". I realize a limited audience will get that inside acronym, but it also makes me smile.

Doh!!

Summertime and Babytime

I'm sure it's fairly obvious to our small and dedicated readership that we've been working a lot again. Maybe "as usual" is better wording, but when I go almost a month without blogging it's a good assumption that work is taking over. I heard the old phrase "Our favorite company, God, then Family" the other day and had to cringe. We certainly need to rewrite that mantra before our little boy makes his appearance!

We did make it to a Rockies Game (thus the picture of Rob and Izzy all decked out for the Dodgers). And we did order a crib (now THAT makes it all feel real, if the motion in my belly wasn't enough). What else have we been up to? Mmmmm... the tough questions. I am, sadly, drawing a blank. Trust me- if I hadn't imposed the no-blogging-about-work rule I'd have plenty to ramble on (or vent) about. :-)

Now that I'm solidly in the third trimester, here's what I am very much looking forward to:

* Holding little man for the first time
* Seeing the look on Rob's face when he first lays eyes on him
* Getting a break from work (labor-- bring it on!)
* Starting to run again

Of course, I could go on forever with that list, but I thought I'd focus on a few positives for the moment.
