Nice Days

It's been so nice here in Oklahoma lately. Just when it starts getting too hot to handle, a storm comes thru and cools everything down. Today is another beautiful cloudless day where the girls can't decide if they want to spend it outside or in. Pixi prefers spending the hours staring at her reflextion in the back door glass while Tira wakes herself up barking at the slightest sounds.
Chris has been working hard, although this week he got a number of days off that left him feeling at a loss of what to do.
I, on the other hand, have been super busy, or at least busier than usual. I'm still working (1) McD's drive-thru, and their (2) reader board programs. Now I've been asked to do (3) general hiring for them. It's an awesome job. It's so nice meeting with the people and figuring out if they'd be a good fit with the company. Everyone has to fit into a certain guidelines before I even set up an interview, so the last part is just formal. But it's been a lot of fun. The new store has so many applicants. I finally got thru the first stack of applicants, and am now on to the next. Sadly this job will only last about a month, but that's good because I'm finding a lot of people for them, and I hope most work out. There's one or two that I'm sure won't last, but I'd love to be proven wrong on them.
Anyway, I'm super excited about the jobs, they're just leaving me a bit exhausted. I just have to pace myself, stop staying up till Chris comes home, and take naps. I just wasn't that smart about the whole thing this last week and got kind of ragged. But the weekend will refresh and all will be well next week.

Egg & Mooby Muffin

So I tried an "Egg-A-Mooby Muffin" today... or the McDonald's equivilant. The equivilant is not the Egg McMuffin itself people suppose it is. It's something you can only get at crossover (when you can order both breakfast and lunch at the same time). You get a Sausage-Egg-and Cheese McMuffin and substitute a regular hamburger patty for the sausage.
It's not bad, a bit juicier than the average thing you'd want to put on a muffin. A bit salty, but overall pretty good.
I got the idea from watching Kevin Smith movies this last week, in Clerks II is set in Mooby, while Dogma mentions having one of those types of muffins. Guess it just put the idea in my head.

More Baby Info

Okay, so the details: The doctor and I thought we were 8 weeks, but the computer says only 7 (that was last week). So we're two months along.
That put our due date right around the first week of February.
It's healthy and doing well. The heartbeat was good and strong.
We don't know if we want to know the sex or not. We won't get the choice of deciding to know or not for another month or so. There are good reasons behind each choice.

• Emotionally: It's cool to not know until the doctor says: "Hey folks, it's a...!"
• Logically: It makes sense to know when you can because then you can prepare for it. Get the right clothing, set ups, decorations, etc.

Chris is excited and happy that he can finally tell everyone.
I'm doing well. Morning sickness isn't bad (knock on wood). I'm slightly nauseous all day, more so at evening, but not vomiting or anything... just kind of "ugh". If I eat something (even when I don't want to see food) I'm good. Problem is eating something at all times can cause major weight gain, so I'm really trying to watch it. It really surprises me how calm it is compared to the horror stories I hear from everyone.

Thank you, all, for you well wishes! We appreciate it.

Much Ado About Nothing

I love this play and am watching the beautiful movie version. So many great quotes. One that came out just a second ago was when John tells his friends that "it must not be denied that I must be a plain dealing villan." I love that Shakespeare just puts it out there forthright. There is no denying what Count John is from the first point.
I never realized it till now but Hero is... Kate Beckensale! Wow, she's so young in this. I watch it and have to laugh at Dr. Wilson from House. Almost playing the same character.
"The world must be peopled!" I love it when Benedict says that. He's so funny with his rants. "When I said I would die a batchelor, I did not think I would live till I was married." hehehe.
I think I enjoy this movie/play because there isn't a character I don't recognize in life... or characteristic.
Ah! I forgot about Michael Keaton's part! Gotta love it! "I should not see how sleeping should offend."

Neil Patrick Harris (NPH!) sings at the Tony Awards 2009 - Closing Number

I was sitting, eating popcorn, on the couch when Ma came in and plopped down beside me. I was in the middle of watching the Tony Awards and suddenly realized I was not going to enjoy any more of it.
“Oooh! Is that Doogie Howzer?” Mom almost squealed with girlish glee when she recognized the host.
“Neil Patrick Harris? Yeah, he’s hosting it this year.”
“He was such a bright young doctor. Remember that time you saw him on Broadway? You should have married him.”
“You do realize he’s not really a doctor?”
“Of course I do. I’m just saying he’s smart enough, he could have been one.”
“What?”
“He was so smart, always spouting those big words and getting all those people better. I’m just saying not many actors can pull that off.”
“You realize half the actors in Hollywood have played doctors.” I didn’t want to have to explain the definition of acting to her.
“Yes, but George Clooney and John Stamos are too old for you.” Of course, in my mom’s mind there were only four actors in Hollywood: George Clooney, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, and Leonardo DeCaprio… sometimes there was Brad Pitt, but he didn’t really count in her mind since he’d become more of an activist. I should have known better and stopped the conversation right then.
“You do know Neil Patrick Harris is gay, right?” But Ma wouldn’t hear of this.
“Nonsense, doll, you say all these Broadway actors are gay.”
“That’s because they are!”
“Doll, if you don’t want to marry an actor, I understand. I mean they are prettier than you, but you don’t have to go around slandering them.” And at that, I just rolled my eyes and dropped the conversation. There was no winning this. I vowed that any further conversations that might follow that path would only be met with popcorn stuffed in my mouth.

Update

Okay, it's been a while since I've posted on this site. Life's been kind of full lately.

I've started a new class at TCC. It's my last class, General Biology. Looking forward to it.

More Than A Feeling Scrubs Style

I heard this song the other day on the radio and I just can't get it out of my head. The problem is that every time I hear it I think of this hilarious section from Scrubs.
It makes me smile every time... just thought I'd share it.

Take It Easy

My dad used to sing this song, and I heard it on the radio today. Here's to you, Pop.


Well, I'm running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
Ive got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says shes a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
Its a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me.
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me.
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I'm climbin' in,
So take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who wont blow my
Cover, shes so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

A Cowboy's Guide to Life...

also known as the Cowboy Ten Commandments

1. Don't squat with your spurs on.
   
2. Don’t interfere with something that ain’t bothering you none.
3. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.
4. Always drink upstream from the herd.
5. Telling a man to git and making him do it are two entirely different propositions.
6. When you give a personal lesson in meanness to a critter or to a person don’t be surprised if they learn their lesson.
7. If you’re riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still back there.
8. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.
9. If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
10. And never, ever, miss a good opportunity to shut up.

Bunnies

I've got a theory: it could be bunnies.


Bunnie aren't just cute like everybody supposes.
They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
And what's with all the carrots.
What do they need such good eyesight for anyways?

Bunnies! Bunnies! It must be bunnies!
