Happy Friday!

I get to meet up with Laurie & Ty for our photo shoots this afternoon and tomorrow. I'm all excited to be working with them. Looks like the weather will be nicer than it was last weekend, all warm & sunny - and there are no outdoor receptions being held at thanskgiving point, so we'll have access to the whole thing and be able to do everything we wanted for the bridals tomorrow. Yay!I was looking for a pic of Lauren I hadn't shared here yet & found this one. lol Go Elijah!

Well I'm bound to have some fun this weekend, I hope that all of you blog readers have some fun in store too! :)

Stormy Thursday

It's dark gray, windy & rainy with some great thunder 'n lightning going on. I was enjoying the awesome breeze through my window & the sound of the storm so much it took me forever to get out of bed. Days like today I do wish I had a car (and the ability to drive it of course) because LV is afraid to walk to school in this. Hopefully things will calm down before it's time to go. Meanwhile I'm not getting dressed just yet. Hanging out in bed watching the trees outside my window & enjoying the cool air still sounds so yummy.

Have a great day!

hooray :)

Hooray for Tuesday, long weekends, sunshine, vanilla yogurt, Elijah, my comfy t-shirt, mp3s and cheesy bean & rice burritos.

finding words

Vern keeps having to tell people that I’m not feeling well to explain why I’m in bed and not playing and doing my usual stuff. Then I have people thinking I’m sick in a “get better” kind of way, and while I will get feeling better at some point the *sick* thing feels misleading. I’m healthy enough, just not feeling well. :p I’ve been so wiped out lately. Spending way too much time in bed for multiple reasons – to deal with the insane nausea, to force myself to relax and breathe & because I’m just so tired anyway that my pillow almost always sounds like a good idea. I wish there was an easy way to explain how I feel at this stage of pregnancy. I’m used to the effects of iron deficiency anemia in general, but something about what my body’s doing at this stage just knocks me out. (It’s probably something to do with the change in blood volume.) I was trying to explain it to Vern the other day and all I could come up with is that I almost feel poisoned or something. My circulatory system feels so sluggish & I have an even harder time breathing than usual. It’s an off, weird kind of feeling that I have a horrible time explaining, but if you see me wrapped in my blanket somewhere crying for no apparent reason then I’m having a hard time dealing with the overall ickiness. :p Would be nice if I wasn’t also so very barfy & tired at this point. I’m grateful that my family is understanding and don’t force me to find ways to fully function every moment of every day. I have moments where I do, but I’ve been kind of out of it & missing my friends. I’m lucky though, LV & Ej with all of their cuddles & kisses are like magic, Kirsten writes me cute letters and draws me pictures that make me smile, Brandon takes good care of me & watches out for the other kiddos and Vern is willing to do late night Taco Bell runs when I suddenly have an appetite. Can’t really ask for more. Except maybe a laptop so I can try to do my dailies in bed? lol Yeah, that’d be perfect.

rained out

We ended up postponing this weekend's photo shoots thanks to the weather forecasts. It's supposed to be kinda cold and rainy all weekend. Of course, at the moment it looks beautiful out, but it's Utah so you never know. :p

I haven't done a meme in awhile so I found a quick one.

What kind of mood are you in right now?
Sleepy lol. Went to bed at 7 am and it took forever to fall asleep. :p
What kind of music suits your current mood?
Well, I’m listening to Papa Roach and it’s working for me, so yeah.
You’re buying tickets for your next vacation. Where are you in the mood to go?
Sicely, Italy. Beautiful area & architecture, with lots of awesome photos waiting to be taken and absolutely yummy food. Sounds just about perfect.
We’re going out to lunch – where are you in the mood to go?
Mmmmm… Hires sounds really good right now. :)
What's for dessert?
Hmmm... The vanilla bean cheesecake at tgiFriday's is always yummy, but if I'm gonna be at Hires, their milkshakes are the bestest - so a chocolate malt please. :)
And after lunch?
A nap? lol Mostly kidding. Actually swimming & a workout at the rec center sounds awesome. Need to throw some heroics in there too - Arinne needs badges.

So uh, yeah. Not sure what we're really doing today. Vern was wanting to plant a garden this morning, but he's glued to his computer still. Lauren just called and we might go scope out the gardens where we're doing her bridals, and I'm trying really hard not to log into WoW until I know what's going on. Once I get to play I want me some serious playtime. :p

Happy Saturday blog readers!

today just might be

...the barfiest day ever. I feel so icky it's unbelievable. I'm grateful that Elijah is content to cuddle, eat apple jacks & watch kids' tv, because if he needed much more from me atm I'd be in trouble.

kisses

A good day is measured by the smiles, hugs & kisses recieved from the people you love.

Today must be a fabulous day, because it's early and I've lost count of all of those things.

Have a great day! :)
