Popular Baby Names…

OK, so right now, I am at work….Yes, I am supposed to be doing actual work, but, I’m sure you all know how boring that can be.  So, instead, I have been looking at popular baby names!  My husband and I are finding out if our little bundle of joy will be a a little boy or a little girl this Thursday, so I have been wondering about different names. 

So far, the only name my husband will tell me he likes is the name Tristen/Tristan for a little boy.  He doesn’t want to go further into the name discussion until he knows for sure what our baby will be.  I like the name Olivia Marie for a little girl.  I told him that he can name the baby if it’s a boy, as long as I approve of the name.  Yes, because I am carrying this baby for 9 months, I get VETO POWER! As every Mommy should!  I also told him that I am naming our baby if it’s a girl, and he gets NO VETO POWER!  As it should be! LOL!

So, I came across this site:  http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/babynames/

You can see the most popular names in the U.S. for 2007, and there is a link on the page that you can click and find out the most popular baby names for every year since 1880 (I think.)

I am very excited to find out if we are having a little girl or a little boy!  Of course, my hubby is hoping for a boy, and I am hoping for a girl, but the only thing we are praying for is a happy, healthy baby….you know, 5 fingers on each hand, and 5 toes on each foot, etc.

A lot of people think we are crazy for not wanting to be surprised, and then there are some that think we would be crazy if we wanted to be surprised.  I just want to be able to buy and register for mostly pink frilly things if it’s going to be a girl, or blue, boyish things if it’s going to be a boy.  I don’t want to get just the generic colors that go with both genders…(yellows and greens)….

Plus, there is still a chance of surprise, because the Dr’s results/findings in ultrasounds have been known to be wrong before…..Example:  My aunt just knew she was having a boy…the doc said so, several times….but when the baby came out, it was a little girl.  That was 24 years ago.  More recently, my cousin-in-law had an ultrasound and the doc kept flipping from one appointment to the other…first a girl, then a boy, back to girl, no wait, boy….so, when the baby finally came, it was a boy!  That was 3 years ago….

Hopefully our doctor will tell us a sex and stick to it, because hopefully he will be right the first time he tells us boy or girl.  But you never really know I guess, until D-Day (Delivery Day)….

Anyway, if anyone has any name ideas, please leave a comment!!!  I would love to read your suggestions!!!

Until next time, Happy Blogging!

Update on me….

Hey blogland!  Well, I have a lot of news!  First off, I am no longer a single woman!!!! YAY!!!  On March 29, 2008, I married the man of my dreams!  It was a beautiful wedding, if I do say so myself!  I love being married!

Also, I am pregnant!!!!  I thought I wouldn’t be able to ever get pregnant, because I have some health issues that could have prevented it.  But, I was wrong!  I will become a mommy around September 30, 2008.  I am so excited I can hardly wait!  So far, everything has gone really well with my pregnancy, and hopefully everything will continue to go well.  I have been really sick with morning sickness, but other than that, all is good.

Oh, and for those of you who don’t know, “morning sickness” is a misnomer…..I have been sick all day long every day since I got that first positive pee test!  I have probably missed  total of close to 2 full weeks of school, and have tired everything to keep from throwing up….

Recently though, I have discovered that taking my anti-puke pill right before bedtime, and then again when I wake up in the morning helps me out a ton!

Right now I am about 17 weeks along (4 months and 1 week)…..I am scheduled for an ultrasound to determine the baby’s sex in about 2 weeks.  We are both so excited to find out whether the baby is a boy or a girl…..Of course, my hubby wants a little boy, and I want a little girl, but we will both be ecstatic no matter what.  We aren’t praying for anything other than a happy, healthy baby.  I just can’t wait to become a mommy!!!

Alright, that is all I have for now….sorry it’s been so long since my last post, I have been super busy with school work, army stuff, and hugging the toilet….I’ll post again when I have a little more to say!

Until next time~Happy Blogging!~

A repeat of some New Year’s Eve Toasts…..Enjoy!

1. Here’s to you, here’s to me, here’s to girls that get on their knees!

2. I love ‘em in leather, I love ‘em in lace, I love ‘em the best when they sit on my face!

3. Good bye, good luck, get high, get f*cked!

4. In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want!

5. I drink champagne when I’m happy and when I’m sad. Sometimes I drink it when I’m alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I’m not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise I never touch it – unless I’m thirsty!

6. May we be alive at this time next year!

7. Always do what you are afraid to do.

8. A toast! To our wives, and our girlfriends…may they never meet.

9. Gentlemen! I’ve drunk your health in Company,I’ve drunk your health alone. I’ve drunk your health so many times, I’ve darn near ruined my own! Here’s to me!

10. Here’s to the perfect girl. Who could ask for more, she’s deaf ‘n dumb, oversexed, and owns a liquor store.

11. Here’s to honor. Get on her. Stay on her. And if you can’t cum in her,cum on her.

12. Here’s to the hole that never heals, the more you rub it the better it feels, and all the soap this side of hell, won’t wash away that fishy smell.

13. Here’s to you and here’s to me, and to all the guys that lick us where we pee.

14. Here’s to those who sit when they pee.

15. Of all my favorite things to do, the utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend,
With each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer’s so frothy, smooth and cold–
It’s paradise–pure liquid gold.
Yes, beer means many things to me…
That’s all for now, I gotta pee!

16. Here’s to a long life and a happy one.
A quick death and an easy one.
A pretty girl and an honest one.
A cold beer and another one!

17. Best while you have it use your breath,
There is no drinking after death.

18. To women and horses, and the men that ride them.

19. DOH – The stuff that buys me beer.
RAY – The guy who sells me beer.
ME – The guys who drinks the beer.
FAR – A long way to get beer.
SO – I’ll have another beer.
LA – I’ll have another beer.
TEA – No thanks I’m drinking beer.
And that brings me back to DOH!

20. Here’s to women.
No other creature in Heaven or hell,
Can take the fruit from a nut,
Without ever breaking the shell.

21. Down your throat,
Into your bladder,
Which end it comes out,
Does it really matter?

 

It’s that time again blogland!  It’s almost New Year’s Eve, and that means that most of you will be out having a good time, at a party, with your friends, loved ones, and some of you will be with people you have just met, or haven’t met yet…..Whatever your New Year’s plans are this year, please remember this:

It’s better to drink and stay where you are, or have a sober designated driver take you to your final destination.

The police will always give you a free ride to jail.

If you drive drunk, you’re not only endangering yourself, you’re endangering everyone else  on the road too.

Sex is fun, but please use protection!!!

Please, have a great time this year, but always be smart and be safe.   You do want to live to see the rest of 2008, don’t you?!?!?!

Happy Blogging!!!

Well…What can I say?

OK, so today my bf is officially moving in with me…We went out with my parents last night to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra, it was a very good show! The lights corresponding with the music, the fire changing colors, everything was very good.  We all had a great time.

I had a pretty good Christmas this year.  I got stuff that I wanted, stuff that I asked for, and some stuff that I didn’t ask for.  My bf got me a very nice necklace.  It’s a white gold cross with a yellow gold heart around the center.  I just love it!  I got upset over Christmas too though…I feel like these two specific bitches choose to keep disrespecting me, and I would very much like to make them miserable….They won’t leave well enough alone and I’m getting tired of it.  I actually hate these two girls…I don’t say that unless I really mean it, and in this case, I really mean it.  I have come to the conclusion that if it keeps happening I will put a stop to it, and they won’t even know what or who hit them.

I have been cleaning my house for pretty much most of the day so far.  My bf’s stuff should be here soon, then we can get busy unloading all of it and mess my house up again in the meantime….Then after everything is unloaded, I’m cooking dinner.  I’m thinking steak, mixed veggies, potatoes, either baked or mashed, and toast….That sounds pretty good to me…Hopefully it’ll be enough food for the both of us….

So, the Razorbacks are playing Missouri in the Cotton Bowl on New Years….Hopefully the Hogs will beat the snot out of MO.  I don’t really keep up with football, but it would be nice to win!!!!

Alright, I guess that’s all I have for now….Until next time, Happy Blogging!!!!!

update…again…

Well, I don’t think I’ve written again about my kitty….She didn’t make it through the weekend. I brought her home, and she got worse than she was before….I had to put her down….I hated making that decision, it was very hard for me to do, but in the end, I know that it was the right thing to do because I didn’t want her to suffer.

With that said….Here is some good news:

♥ My BF is moving in with me within the next couple of weeks.

♥ Finals are over, I’ll find out how my grades turned out by Tuesday.

♥ I got to see most of my family over the weekend at my Family Christmas Party.

♥ My pup and bf are starting to get along with each other, which is a very good thing!

♥ I am happy with my life right now.

So, that’s what’s been going on with me lately, everything is going well, and hopefully things will continue to go well. I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year!

Until next time~~~Happy Blogging!~~~

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree….

Hello blog-land!  Well, I am officially finished with school this semester! I completed my last exam at 9:30 this morning!  Now I just have to wait until Monday morning to see how my grades turned out and then hopefully I can schedule an interview with the dean of the College of Education on Tuesday or Wednesday….I’m nervous!

So, last night my bf & I went out to my parents house to look for my Christmas tree that I was storing out at their place….We looked for an hour or so and couldn’t find it anywhere….So when my mom got home from work, she decided to take us shopping for a new tree!  We went to eat Chinese, then we went to Hobby Lobby, Target, and Lowes to find a tree….I saw one that I really liked at Target, but they were sold out of it, and the salesman told me that Target doesn’t sell displays….I asked him why they didn’t take the damn display down once they sold out of a tree since they weren’t going to sell the damn display….too bad I waited until he was out of earshot to ask him though….

My bf took the tag off the tree so no one else would go crazy like I had looking for it…..Anyway, after I calmed down and didn’t find another tree at Target that I liked, we went to Lowes and I found one….It’s 7′1/2″ tall, prelit, with white lights on it.  It’s not a very big tree in diameter, which is precisely why I like it! I didn’t want a very fat tree, because I don’t have that much room in my house for a humongous tree.  Anyway, once we bought the tree, we went back to Target to find some decorations….I ended up getting these little pool ball decorations, along with 2 boxes of silver patterned/glitter balls, and three mirrored ornaments…My tree topper is a silver star with a white jewel in the middle if the star that kind of looks like a snowball…..I just love my tree!!!

I haven’t had a tree in a long time, at least four years.  I wanted a tree this year.  My bf and I put it up together, decorated it together, and we’ll take it down together too…..It’s beautiful!

Anyway, I just had to get on here and tell everyone about my tree!  I’ll end it here, I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Until next time ~~~~Happy Blogging!~~~~

Home, stressed, sad, worried, you name it….

Well, I had a pretty good Thanksgiving holiday.  I went to see my bf, it was just the two of us for TG….I cooked my first ever TG dinner, and it was very delicious!  I cooked a turkey roast (since it was just the two of us, a bird would’ve been way too much food!), mashed potato’s, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie…..oh, and I made awesome sweet tea! Both my bf and I stuffed ourselves! It was great!  Then, Friday, we went shopping and watched the HOGS stomp all over LSU! YAY!

So, I came home on Sunday, picked up my pets from the vet Monday, and now it’s Tuesday and I’m going back to the vet….My cat hasn’t been eating for the longest time, and I’m so worried about her….I have tried to get her to eat tuna, canned cat food, chicken broth, milk (warm and cold), and of course water…SHE REFUSES TO EAT!

Her body weight has dropped dramatically, her spine and hip bones are sticking out…(you can’t see them, but you can feel them)…She is only 5 years old, she’s always had a very healthy appetite….she’s always very active, but now she is just laying around, hiding from me, not looking around, not meowing, not doing anything…

Hopefully when I take her in today, the vet will be able to tell me something….Hopefully I can afford to pay for the treatment…otherwise, I will have to put my baby kitty down….I’m extremely worried about her, and I DO NOT want to put her down….

I stayed up crying about it all night last night…..I’ve said so many prayers about this….I’m worried sick….Hopefully in a few hours I will know something….

That’s all for now, I’ll give you an update when I know more….

I feel like my world may cave in…

OK, so I went out to eat with my family today.  We went to Olive Garden.  Anyway, we had a good supper.  My brother and I always make everyone laugh when we’re together, and tonight was no different.  My dad and I talked about Army stuff, my mom and I talked about medical stuff, my brother and I talked about personal stuff, and the four of us talked about lots of stuff!

At the close of the meal, my dad turns to me and says that my brother has told them he stopped smoking.  I replied by saying something like, “Good, why are you telling me that?” He asked if I had quit smoking yet, and I honestly replied no.  Then my mom turns to my dad and says, “Well, I’m going to tell them something, and I’m going to tell them because of her.”  (The “her” my mom is talking about is me, of course.) Then my dad decides that since we have paid for the meal, we should probably leave and head for the parking lot.  Of course, because my dad wants to get out of the restaurant, I immediately know that whatever my mom is about to say is something B-I-G…..So we walk outside.

Mom starts telling us about a medical test she had done, and how the doctors told her that because of the way the lining of her bladder looks, she could have cancer of the bladder, or bladder cancer.  She talks to me about it for some time….I listen, she has tears in her eyes…..I can’t stop staring at her and I can’t stop listening to her.  She told me that smoking causes this type of cancer, and because she has never been a smoker, and neither has my dad, I asked her how she would have gotten it if it’s caused by smoking.  She says the only way she can think of is that when she was a little girl, her daddy (my grandpa) smoked like a train before he finally quit….

She told me all of that, my head was spinning.  She kept saying that my smoking cigarettes won’t kill me now, it’ll kill me 20 years from now, and she won’t be around to help me.  I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t.  I was upset with her.  She has known about the fact that she may have cancer.  They biopsied her bladder a while ago, and she is waiting for the results.  She should have told me sooner.  I didn’t know what to do.

She has already survived breast cancer.  She is in remission now.  She has said to me many times that it would be nice to have grandchildren someday, and since I’m 26 years old and my brother is only 21, it’s pretty clear to me that she means it’s about time for me to have babies…..I don’t know if I can have babies because of my own health problems, now I am worried that if I am able to have children, I might not have them in time for her to meet them…..and if I’m able to have children now, if I keep smoking I may jeopardize that by continuing to live the way I live…..

I know I need to quit smoking.  I want to quit smoking….It’s just very hard.  I don’t want to be scared like I am now…..I feel like my world is crashing down on me.  If only my parents knew that my brother hasn’t really stopped smoking himself….then I wouldn’t be the alone in the scare…..

~Until next time, Happy Blogging!~

I’m sick and it sucks!

Hey blogland! Well, it’s Friday, 2 November 2007. I have been sick with a sinus infection for the past four days. I went to the doctor three days ago and got some antibiotics and cough syrup. I’m still coughing up a storm, and I sound like I swallowed a frog when I talk…..My whole body aches, and I have jarred all of my back and neck muscles from coughing so much.

Anyway, to top it all off, my least favorite aunt just came to visit today….so that just makes everything worse…..I have drill this weekend, I was supposed to go today, but since I have class until 1:00 p.m., I didn’t go, and I will make it up sometime….I will have to go tomorrow and Sunday though…..I hate going to drill every month. I just found out that we are taking another PT test this month. I think that sucks. I passed my PT test last month, we are only supposed to have one PT test every six months.

I mean, I can take the test again this month, and I can pass the test test again this month. But the difference in this month and last month is the fact that I have a damn sinus infection and am on heavy antibiotics, narcotic cough syrup, and can’t breathe without wheezing my head off. If I am made to work out this weekend in the cold ass weather with the freezing wind blowing and me having to breathe it into my already in bad shape lungs, I might just keel over.

I’m sick, I’m hurting, I’m depressed because I’m sick and hurting….I’m having an altogether bad effing day….

I just want to stay curled up an a blanket all day and drink hot tea until I feel better.

Until next time~~~Happy Blogging!~

I need a break from every day life…

OK…So, I just had Fall Break last week.  I got out of class at 1:00 p.m., then got in my car and headed to see my boyfriend that lives six hours away from me.  I had to put my pup in the vet to be boarded while I was gone.  I got to my man’s house at about 7:30 – 8:00 p.m.  I was finally there.  It felt so good to just be with him.  I had seen him the previous week, he surprised me and came down to be with me for his two days he had off.  Anyway, I was so happy to see him.

I desperately needed a break from school.  I stayed at his place with him from Wednesday night until Sunday afternoon.  While I was there, we went to get deep tissue massages.  It felt wonderful.  I think the girl/woman/masseuse  that gave me my massage bruised some muscles in my back because I was so tender the next day I couldn’t even move suddenly without crying out in pain.  I’m better now.  My man just loved his massage.  He was so relaxed and out of touch with reality afterwards that we got lost on the freeway and it took us forever to get back to his house.  Once we finally got there, we were planning on getting ready to go to the casino, but instead we fell asleep.  I miraculously woke up at 1:00 a.m. and frantically tried to wake him up because I knew how much he wanted us to go to the casino together.  He’s so hard to wake up sometimes….Finally though, I woke him up, we both got ready and went to spend money we really didn’t need to spend.  We stayed at the casino until 5:00 a.m.  We both lost money, but I managed to walk out with $7.00.

I had so much fun with him while I was there.  I needed the break from school and some other things going as well.  BUT – No sooner than I got home Sunday afternoon, I started feeling overwhelmed again.  I had papers to write, chapters to read math work to do, field experience to complete for two different classes…..Since Sunday afternoon I have been going non-stop….doing homework, doing family stuff, doing house work, I still need to do my laundry and dishes….I still have math work and about four or five more papers to type……And today I found out that I have a test to study for…

So, even though I just had fall break and was able to relax and just be myself with no deadlines or homework or housework or doctor’s appointments or Army shit to do for four whole days, I feel like I haven’t had a minute to myself at all.  It’s like every time I get one things done, there are about ten more things that pop up with a suspense date attached….

Hopefully the next month and a half of school will go by quickly.  Hopefully….

Anyway, until next time~~Happy Blogging!~~
