You can't handle the truth, or atleast a differing opinion.

Oh snap! I was just de-friended on facebook! I am not terribly sad since we disagreed on many subjects, but I will always miss people with a wicked sense of humor. My main surprise is how the Internet seems to insulate people into a bubble of their own ideas. She posted a "medical" article on how the H1N1 vaccine was causing miscarriages. I was game, I went to the site and read the article. I then followed their links to their actual "data" and it was totally unsubstantiated. There was no direct link in any of the cases just suspicion and guess work. There was certainly not enough to deserve the slant the website had given the article. Well this former facebook acquaintance I guess didn't want to hear that the government was not out to get us. Okay. Live in your self sustaining bubble, preach to your choir. If you don't agree with me on facebook that is cool. I appreciate a good well researched debate. I can't think of a blog comment that I have not posted because I disagreed with the thought. In fact I encourage people to disagree with The Things That Must Go, if they really want them to stay. But hey, if you feel better in your bubble then have at it.

And Baby Makes Three!

Yup, we are offically stupid, I mean pregnant. Number three is on its way and will see us all around July 7th. Now I know that many of you were told; "we are only having one," or, "two is it. " Well, I have offically given up on saying how many children we will have. (But I would be shocked if it were more then four.) This baby was actually planned. I always feel just a bit guilty about the ease with which I get pregnant. We knew we wanted another and I decided that it would be nice if the kid could start school the year after Mae, (who like Max misses the August 1st cutoff date in Arkansas.) Today we had an ultrasound to make sure the baby was in the correct position, a precaution after my ectopic pregnancy. It was fun to see the baby's heartbeat and it even kicked its' little foot. I have been SO SO SICK! I haven't been this sick with the other two pregnancies. I am quite miserable most of the time. Most nights I am in bed by eight just cause I am so sick I dont want to be awake anymore. Poor Jeff hasn't had a good meal, or evening company in awhile. As always he has been a champion through out the whole thing. We will be happy with either a boy or a girl and I can think of good reasons to have either. It is nice not to care one way or another, but not to fear we will find out. I just don't get the people who don't find out. We have bounced some names around but nothing set in stone. Unless people complain or whine about our choices then it will be either Mohammad or LaKeshia.

Happy Holidays

Holidays in this house take place not based on when they fall on the calender but when they go on sale at the Associate Store. About two weeks ago these haunted house kits went on sale for a buck fifty. Sold! Max and I had some fun this afternoon while Mae was asleep and Jeff was out Christmas shopping.

Girl Crush

Do you remember your last crush? For most people it was probably high school. I remember in Jr. High School having a HUGE crush on K.C. Keller. He was cute, nice but kinda runty. In elementary school I had a crush on Jared Auger. I even sent him a love letter. I was really void of common sense. I have also had various celebrity crushes. It started with Harrison Ford, then Heath Ledger, I mean have you seen that guy smile? I have a soft spot for Alan Rickman after Sense and Sensibility, which has always made the Harry Potter films a bit weird for me. Well recently I have discovered that I have a girl crush.

Now what constitutes a girl crush? Well a lot of it is the same as a regular crush, you like the person and you want them to like you. You get insecure around them but still want to be around them and hear what they have to say. You basically just want to be their friend but feel so hopelessly out of their league. How could someone so awesome like you. Looking back I have had a few girl crushes before. Julie Cope from elementary school. For 3+ years I wanted to be her friend so badly, but she choose others to be her BFF. Maybe I tried too hard, looked too desperate.

Well now I am an adult. I shouldn't have any reason to feel insecure. I bagged to world's most caring husband, and have a very fulfilling life. I may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I think I can be pretty fun. So about a year ago this amazing woman Catania moved into my ward. Catania is my girl crush. She is just so cool. She is a super talented artist. I love how she chooses different medias to work in and has a large variety of subjects. She even has a blog just for her creative works. I get flustered when I am around her, for no good reason. She is lovely to me, this isn't about her. I am not quite sure what is going on with me, I am not looking for a BFF, always just for more friends and I would consider her one. But I still get flustered and worried that I am going to say something stupid, (I bet my other friends wish that I would worry more about that around them.)

She invited me to her house for lunch this summer and I must have changed my outfit and the kids outfit like 4 times. She said she was making bagels so I went and got cream cheese schmere, but it didn't go with the kind she made. My heart fell. (But the bagels were FANTASTIC!) Mmmmm bagels......anyway, she was a sweet hostess and we had a good time, but again I still feel the same way. So bizarre. So blurkers, have you ever had a girl crush? Do you have one now? How do you get over the inadequate feelings? Have you meet Catania? She is so awesome.

Book worm

Okay so the last post was a bit awful. Here is a pic to balances it out. Everyone, Jeff and I included, loves our bookshelves. There are a real showstopper. Mae is also a big fan for other reasons.
