Pretty bland. I’m happy about that. Seriously. I do need to get around to visiting my nana since we stayed home for Christmas. Erik had the flu and I hate X-mas anyway. So…

My darling husband bought me a Flip Mino. I must say I LOVE this thing. I only see two cons:
a) There’s no hold button and the buttons are all touch-screeny sensitive. I see accidental deletion in my future.

b) The file sizes are big… I can change them in-computer so it’s okay.

Anyway, I have tons of videos on flickr now. Yay. Lots of Xavier, too. I go back to work on Monday so there will be more more stuff on Monday night/Tues am of non-baby life. I’ll probably leave it with Erik Tues-Fri since he’ll be home with X.

Oh so last night my mom babysat again.
Erik and I went to Passional (it’ll always be Fetishes Boutique to me) and I got some nice stuff. This includes an awesome black corset with pink pinstripes. Yay.
Afterward, we headed over to Johnny Rockets. Mmmmm Streamliner! I love a good soyburger. Our waitress looked just like a young Tori Amos. We told her. She blushed. It was good.

Uh oh. I think someone pooped.
Adios

I’m watching Desperate Housewives again. It’s crazy. This show is pretty damned entertaining. Seriously. I’m all sorts of absorbed. I’m pretty sure this isn’t surprising to some people, but I never expected to watch this. Oh well.

Xavier is snoozing now. I think I should go eat or pump or something.

The small bear wants what the small bear wants.

Today was a busy day. I couldn’t sleep at all. I tried to no avail. At some point I set up the stroller and walked to the corner store with the bear in tow. That normally takes 3-5 minutes…

Today it took 15 minutes.

My pelvis + left hip hurts so much that coming back home took even longer. I was standing around the deli waiting for my cuts and I needed to sit!

Oh so get this, the milk I bought was for 9/18 so I had to go back after getting all the way home. So more walking, only this time with no stroller. I used the Snugli carrier. The other ones are for slightly bigger bears.

Woah. I’m tired of typing. Bye.

I’m convinced I’m approaching that time. I’m exhausted. I was this tired yesterday, only yesterday I was home so I was more comfortable. Yesterday my feet hurt so bad it was hard to make it from the bedroom to the living room, so I stayed in bed until 10:30am.

Today, my feet still hurt, but I can’t afford to stay home. They hurt a little less than yesterday, but not THAT much better. What’s slightly embarassing is that I can’t even get the shoe on my right foot. And it’s Erik’s shoe. I can’t fit my flip flops and those are a size and a half up. What almost had me in tears was that my wedding shoes, which should be too big, won’t fit at all. Like not even a little bit. So I’ll be wearing the really thin white flip flops throughout the entire wedding & reception.

I know I am in the home stretch, but with 5 weeks to go, I’m really feeling beat up inside. It’s mostly emotional/mental, but the feet are the biggest deal. That and my right hip (today). Maybe they’re doing that spready-thing? So yeah. It’s really no fun to walk and I actually need to walk around at work. The steps are unavoidable. I just feel like this miserable, pitiful blarg. I dunno what a blarg is, but you get me.

And I have a doctor’s appointment today. If they tell me I’m fatter or my BP is higher or whatever, I’m gonna scream. I just need to go home and lay down.
