I only have 34 more weeks to keep using this excuse

Today at Maceys I used the fact that I am pregnant to justify buying the following items:

Cool, that's 238 days to do whatever you want!

*sigh of longing*

pregnancy is such a magical time. Eating for 2, watching TV for hours cuz you're as tired as 2, eating for 2, napping for 2, eating for 2, snapping at people for no apparent reason for 2, eating for 2...

I've also discovered taking elevators for 2 lately. I may not look pregnant yet, but I sure don't feel like hauling myself up several flights of stairs any more.

Just remember, WE are pregnant. WE are having a baby. So I'll help you eat all those snacks.

So if a husband can experience sympathy weight gain, can a brother-in-law experience sympathy food cravings? Mmmm, Little Debbie.

If you miss the golf carts enough, you should use the powered carts at Maceys.

As you probably remember from baby number one, I think in 34 weeks you will hjave a brand new excuse to to whatever you want. Also the charm of pregnancy will have worn right off by then.

I think the charm of pregnancy is already wearing off, since I've been feeling horrid all day today. It's probably some kind of retribution for buying all those snacks yesterday. Blah.

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

Living with ideals

The first thing on my agenda in Davis was a lunch with some of the current graduate students. One of them asked me a question about my last name and my heritage, to which I replied that it was my husband's last name. That got me some fairly strange looks. Then there was the fact that I didn't order coffee after lunch with all of them. And then there was the awkwardness (more than once during the last few days) of trying to explain why I lived in Spain for over a year and didn't see any movies, go to any plays, or study at the university. Oh, and the fact that I don't drink wine and even though I'm not quite thirty I have been married for almost seven years and have two kids. Man, I am such a weirdo. I lived in Utah for so long that I became very comfortable in not having people think some of the things I do are strange. It was challenging this week to be back in an area where people questioned my choices and I had to explain "I'm a Mormon" (yeah, I kno
