Chick Flicks and Rotten Bananas

I just love weekends and this weekend I set out to tackle my mile long to do list and enjoy a few of my favorite chick flicks I've been wanting to watch for forever. Saturday was absolutely beautiful and I had accomplished taking Elvis to the vet and picking up some flowers before noon. My plan was to relax by the pool and do some cleaning and set out my flowers. Unfortunately I just don't have the energy I used to and the chores I had laid out completely exhausted me. I woke up this morning and couldn't raise my arms! After laying around all day I decided to venture out for a banana split, only to hear the girl behind the counter ask me if I still wanted one if the bananas were rotten. Hmmmm...think I'll pass. I'm sure I'll be dreaming of banana splits all night! I did get to watch a couple of my favorite movies this weekend and was pleasantly surprised Shane enjoyed them also.



I love this movie and the music! I was ready to go to Myrtle Beach after we watched it...or at least learn to shag.



What can I say about Cary Grant?? and I am still singing presto, presto, do your very best-o...

Baby Bump

I figured I would post a pic of the long awaited baby bump...YAY (I guess)!!



This is week 21 and I'm feeling pretty good..finally. My head is spinning with girl names and nursery ideas. So far the name has completely thrown me for a loop! As far as the nursery I'm just thinking PINK! I am looking forward to the weekend and tackling a few things on my ever growing to do list.

Its A Girl!!

What a relief to find out what our little one is going to be!! It was such a great day! Most of our family was able to make it to the ultrasound and gather anxiously around the monitor- It seemed like it took FOREVER for the ITS A GIRL news to be announced. There were a few tears (of joy) and a lot of laughter.



After the appointment we went to the local bookstore to buy a book for the little one. Shane had the idea to buy Dr Seuss Oh, the Places You'll Go...Its a favorite of ours and we both LOVE Dr Seuss. We then went to pick up a few more goodies...



Of course I had to stop by one of my favorite stores to see of they had anything for mommy.....


I know its not keeping with the pink theme, but I love Kentucky blue...Worlds Apart (www.worldsapartonline.com) in Lexington has the prettiest clothes!

Then we went to my favorite sushi restaurant where I enjoyed.......A nice big salad..(sigh)

Shane decided to cut grass when we got home so that gave me the perfect opportunity to whip up some pink brownies for him to take to work tomorrow.




Hoping for some rest tonight!

Mother's Day

pWhat a great Mother's Day weekend I've had!! Saturday I spent the day with my sister and mom (two of the world's best mommies). I even got to chase my nephew around for a bit.





We ate at my mom's favorite italian restaurant where I enjoyed a little too much dessert and learned perhaps peanut butter and chocolate are not a pregnant gal's best friend.



Today my sister-in-law prepared lunch, which eventually turned into dinner also, as everyone went for second and thirds, at her home.



Thanks to my sister and sister-in-law for the thoughtful gifts-Love You!

This will likely be a restless night for me as tomorrow is a big day!

Springtime

We have been enjoying beautiful weather in Kentucky lately and today was no exception. I do not think I counted a single cloud in the sky. Unfortunately it was a crazy hectic day for me and the weather did little to offset my mood. I went for a run at the lake tonight and regained my sanity. It really is lovely there and never fails to make me feel glad to live in the country.






Some still nag me for running but as I told my doc you took away my coffee, red wine, and sushi, please don't take my running! While its true my "running" has turned into a slow jog and that will likely turn into a waddle, I am still enjoying it.

I am looking forward to a beautiful Mother's Day weekend and getting to spend some time with my family.

20 more weeks to go and 4 more days til we find out whether we have a little boy or girl!! :)

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!





Under usual circumstances I would prefer to spend tonight at my local mexican cantina, but my appetite is not quite back to normal and Shane had a hankering for homemade tacos so we stayed in. I did, however, stop by to pick up some homemade chips and salsa, beans, and rice cause lets face it- they do it better than I can.

Elvis loves Cinco de Mayo because it, along with his birthday, are the only 2 occasions he gets to eat his favorite mexican cuisine!





In fact, I think he is still in the kitchen licking the floor..

Hope everyone had a great day!

New Heading

Yippee! I am so excited to see the design atop my blog the beautifully creative Ashley Brooke came up with for me. I am so in love with the "Ashely Brooke pregnant me"- the real pregnant me-not so cute! Thanks so much to Ashley Brooke Designs.

As you may note from my schoolgirl excitement over a design not much is going on in life right now. Aside from being tickled my head is not lolling in a toilet 24/7 anymore, TV is my sole entertainment. I am loving Dancing With The Stars this season and luckily its one thing Shane and I have in common. What we do not share is a love for Erin Andrews. He just does not understand where my disdain stems from. He said "She reminds me so much of you- She's a tall blonde who's goofy yet elegant and attractive" Hmmmm...Comparison please...

Oh yes..I see it now! ;)

At this point I am rooting for Evan and Anna, but I would not be upset if Ochocinco won either. Nicole and Derek are just a little too full of themselves.

I also love watching the Real Housewives series on Bravo. New York has really heated up this year and I find myself to be on Team Bethenney. I am also loving Alex's newfound confidence!

Unfortunately I missed the Jersey premiere last night but thanks to my friend the DVR I'll be catching up soon. (I shudder to remember life without it).

Let's see, what's on the agenda for tonight..oh yeah..The Hills. Sadly I just watch it just to view the train wreck that is now Heidi...

ps..6 days til we find out whether Baby Watts is a boy or girl!
