stuff april did today.
well, it looks like my days of pampering and being doted upon due to my big old belly are nearing the end (thanks, everybody for pampering me so well - you guys are pretty good at it). today, i was sent downstairs for a bottle (le sigh) and i scooped the litterbox for the first time in nine months (double sigh). really didn't miss that chore.
also today, i cleaned the carpet where our stressed out tank of a cat, monkey, has been expressing her dislike of our new addition in the form of urine. she's very expressive.
and. i helped with the wii hookup! love that wii. can't wait to waste countless hours in front of it. (thanks mom and dad!)
and. i've only taken one pain pill today thank you very much. i laugh (quietly, inside) in the face of surgery. i am officially near-mended and also, officially, very tired.

brief gloating
man. i am really good at poker even with fits of solo hysterical laughter. i have the power of wee. three times.
in other news:
*i have been up since 2:30 a.m. -- there is nothing on tv
*there is no comfort in knowing that the sewage pouring into your living room from upstairs bathrooms is yours.
*the cats have officially been banished from our bedroom in preparation for wee. pest is extremely unhappy about this. monkey is indifferent as usual.
*she leggett's birthday week has begun
*i think we may have had the most laid back thanksgiving day ever
*today i will try and talk the insurance people into paying for the plumbing - it should be fun.

i am round.
look at me updating over here. i am such a good girl.
it will be in list form:
*my job at the USDA is officially over - my tailbone is appreciative, our bank account feels something is missing
*i have shown my mom how to upload pictures and movies to their blog...i am awaiting visual confirmation of my teachings.
*i just found out that i am getting another niece! it will be hard to top the first one but my big brother and sis-in-law
grow good nieces so i'm pretty sure she will be just as perfect as this one
*i have also just realized the extent of my student loans. this is not nearly as exciting as finding out about a new niece. no, not at all.
*i have been daydreaming about running. i can't wait until i am winded and sore from my first run post baby. it will probably be one mile or less and i will have to walk down stairs backwards as if i have run 22+ miles. it will be glorious.
* i have also been daydreaming about eating roly poly again. i am wondering if i can get them to sponsor wee baby's delivery..i will have access to piles of deli meat....
nurse: do you want to hold your baby?
april: get out of my face lady. but first, give me that ham and cheese on wheat
things i am happily addicted to at the moment:
*lost (we're on season two)
*etsy
*webcrosswords
*cleaning
*brownies with cream cheese icing
thing i am joylessly addicted to:
*waking up around the three o'clock hour just to see what's going on in the house. usually everyone is sleeping peacefully. isn't that nice? i like to keep a check on it though, until at least 6:30 am or so. you know, just in case. my friend, tylenol pm, may be coming to visit soon.
herschel update: he found some shorts/herschel man pants. he is excited.
it will be in list form:
things i will miss:
-paycheck
-having a purpose
-paycheck
things i will not miss:
-excel spreadsheets
-sitting
-the bathroom being upstairs while i am in the basement. that is what you call an unfortunate situation
-the sickly sweet smell of pop-tarts EVERY morning from a creature of habit coworker. i could predict every move... come in, put stuff down, turn computer on, log in, put pop-tarts in toaster, get ice and glass of water, back to computer for less than a minute, come back to claim pop-tarts, eat pop-tarts
-the guy that comes in EVERY day to use the microwave, puts his coffee/tea in, sets the microwave for 1-2 minutes and then walks away for, oh i don't know, at least 20 minutes leaving the microwave to beep every 15 seconds until i roll over and violently jab the off button. i mean really, why do that?

random something.
look. i have a lot of pez....maybe too many? no. i accept my nerdiness.
here are my favorites: they include gargamel, red hoodie e.t, inspector clouseau, obelix from asterix, jack in the box and, of course, the witch (i named it lauren one day when she was especially sassy to me)
i can't find my roo pez which makes me sad. it looks like this...

as promised.
1. big creese's big old birthday: fun. he is really looking his age which is old.
2. hormones and how they suck -- briefly, because i'm no longer in the throes of their evilness...as much. i'm just going to list a few:
*bigger boobs (but ouch)
*nausea if you haven't eaten
*nausea if you eat
*one of the worst things ever (see below)
*crying in the pantry
*slowed down g.i. tract (read heartburn, burping and infrequent poopage)
*sweating
*mood swings of course
*insomnia
*and... because of the wee growing within, i will eventually not be able to lay on my back because it will interfere with blood returning to my heart from my legs/pelvic area = edema = probable cankles and varicose veins. joy
3. one of the worst things to ever happen to me: i can't eat sweets. a travesty. sadness. i still refuse fruit.
and some random new stuff:
1. the birthday of nemesis.
velodrome fun... even if steve hill was there... not really racing.
2. the passing of my nausea (mostly)
3. temporary job! hello income. i start tomorrow.
4. wee scan - also tomorrow
5. i have been heckled for not updating and since i don't like to be heckled alone, i would like to point out that lauren hasn't updated in awhile either... you can heckle her here
and where is michelle?
6. big brother graduation. awwwww. what a cutie.
but looky at what i found...... that's a sweet 'stache you got there mr. ffa president!
7. kicking off herschel's birthday week with a braves game tonight
stay tuned to see if i will ever be employed as a veterinarian...
