Thursday Thoughts

Today’s Thursday and I’m linking up with Ramblings of a Suburban Mom…

We’re ymca members now… idk why I didn’t do this 3 years ago.  I used to be a Y member and I went all the time.  So far we’ve been members less than a week and we’ve gone 4 times and went swimming.  And that photo in his ID…. that was the only one where he was still after like 20 takes.

NF joined a serious keyboard band that includes an accordion occasionally… it sounds great guys, you really need to hear it, and for over 30 minutes.

We went to the renaissance festival (thanks smellen for the free tix)… NF had a great time… but it was like 95 degrees out.

Who doesn’t love a cake pop?

NF was sick Sunday 4-9 (threw up 4 times!  once all over a couch, and the rest mostly caught my my hands, and a little in a bucket)… next day he was good as new.  It’s awful to see little kiddos throw up!!

Stopped in Cazenovia for my sister’s wedding hair trial…

Big Brother 17 news… who is it going to be Becky or Johnny Mac…. (I am hoping Becky).  Idk why Johnny Mac didn’t try to win the veto, that seemed gutsy.

I am LOVING the Real Housewives of NYC reunion…. just love it.

How is this pic of Khole and Kourtney real life… omg that thigh gap on Kourtney and that butt on Khole.  I can’t even deal.

Teen mom 2 is on tonight and I HATE to love it… it’s so bad.  It’s like the worst.  Jenelle and Nathan are horrible.  Leah and Jeremy are a mess.  Adam is horrible.  Kailyn and Javi are super annoying.  I ONLY like the kids, Chelsea, and Chelsea’s parents and her bf Cole.

Not much else is happening round here.  It’s supposed to rain today – otherwise NF was going to shoot for a local commercial outside (I’m kinda glad about that because he needs a hair cut!!!)

So WHAT Wednesday

Today is Wednesday and I am saying SO WHAT if…

• I’m 14 weeks pregnant tomorrow
• My decaf, grande, shot of raspberry, no mocha, skim milk, no whip java chip frappuccino was made terribly Sunday.  It was like raspberry skim milk…. that’s the 2nd time.  And by the time you realize you’re on your way.  Is it too late to call them and tell them?  This is a problem… when you’re paying $5 a drink it should be correct.  SO what if that might be crazy
• I am going to be wearing a bathing suit tonight at the YMCA and I am more concerned about my legs being shaved than looking that awkward stage of pregnant (is she fat? is she pregnant?  did she just gain 5 lbs in her belly since may?  Did she just eat a ton of food like spaghetti for dinner?)
• Gentle yoga was the same exact yoga as Saturday’s and there were NO pregnant woman there besides myself…. disappointing… where are you woman, I wanna stare at you and compare bellys in my mind
• it is a relief to finally mention I am pregnant on this blog but I had 2 that didn’t work out before this, so I waited until I was 13 weeks to reveal the news to mostly everyone
• I love that Susan Surandon’s daughter discussed her miscarriage on her blog.  I didn’t do that (not really the type of blog I’m going for though).  but it really makes you feel like, it can happen to any and all woman and you’re not alone.
• I think Vanessa’s time is almost up on Big Brother
• It seems like every time I see Kaiser on Teen Mom 2 he is just chuggin a big bottle dolo
• I never liked Jared the Subway guy
• I swear Andy Cohan’s favorite housewife is Bethenny Frankel FOR SURE
• I LOVE to see what the housewife woman are wearing on the reunion shows (Sonja’s heals and dress from her collection)

•  I have no desire to see anything pumpkin spice until it is officially fall… first day of fall is September 23rd
• I never realized having a dark colored car means you have to wash it way more often than a light metallic car until owning one
• I want to know if I can continue to attend spin class, boot camp, yoga pregnant?  I gave up abs class right way… but these other fitness classes, I would feel lost without them…
• NF named the baby Bounky, just like his rock named Bounky he said
• I am probably not going to go to a bachelorette party I am invited to this weekend because I am just going to be no fun
• I need to plan my sister’s bachelorette party asap
• It took 2 hours for the lady to just CURL my sister’s hair for her wedding hair trial… omgggg it was for-ev-errr
• you dont need a mouse pad anymore for the mouses they have these days… but I still want one

What I’m Loving Wednesday

 

NEW YORK: Today is the 12th anniversary of 9/11.  And I have to shout out my home, my life, the place I’ll raise my children, New York.  I’m loving it.  I will never forget.

NF: THIS little guy here… who might be ready for the potty?!  Any tips or tricks I need to know about before we start this adventure?  (not that anyone reads this?)

Lamar Odom and TMZ: TMZ can’t get ENOUGH of Lamar Odom and basically knows every single move he makes and reports it…. and for some reason I can’t stop looking for the latest update.  The most recent headline, “Lamar Odom buys popular ingredient for homemade crack pipes” … okay, normally I think tmz is ridiculous but a NBA player like Lamar doesn’t just go out and buy copper scrubbing pads to clean the kitchen with.  But they don’t have an actual picture of him and the grocery bag – just his alleged driver… and now I find myself thinking, why do I need to know this information, and more importantly why do I care?  I just do, I’ll answer myself.

Bethenny: Bethenny’s new talk show started on Monday….  and to be honest, I am not really enjoying it.  It’s too crude for me.  I mean I don’t even want to list the topics discussed on the show on here because I feel like it’s inappropriate.  I feel uncomfortable having it on with my toddler in the room.  BUT what I do love about this is that it’s better than Maury (oh my god by a million, I dislike the who’s the father talk show episodes).  I am sad because I wanted to really like this show.  Sorry Bethenny, I’m sticking with Ellen.  But let’s all be real here, who’s missing Oprah like whoa.

Daphne Oz is having a BAYYBAYYYY!!: Oh my goodness… I wish we were pregnant at the same time (but we’re not).  I’ve been waiting for Daphne to have a baby (we’re the same age ya know)…. and FINALLY it’s happening!!  She’s so cool – I love her on the chew and I LOVE Carla Halls reaction in that picture.  I hope Clinton Kelly does baby Clinton Craft Corners… oh this is just the best ABC news!!

Kimbo Slice: I had no idea Kimbo Slice is only 39 years old, I seriously thought that he was like 60… but that’s because I get him confused with Mr.T.  Anyway, I like Kimbo Slice and always root for him whoever he’s fighting.  I love when fights end in a knock out in like under 45 seconds.  (Maybe having Kimbo Slice was a pretty random addition to my “what I’m loving wednesday” but whatever, it’s my list – gotta keep it a little unpredictable!)

Tom Hanks has jury duty: This just makes me happy just because it makes me feel like Tom Hanks is a real nice regular person.
