Friday, Husband and I were on our way to our babymoon near Charleston, SC. As usual, I was starved at 5pm when we got in the car, but I made it til six before we had to stop. We decided to get fast food so it would be, ya know, fast. We sat two tables down from a man who was eating alone, and he smiled at us. We smiled back and got situated at our table.
Next thing I know, you must be having twins. Are you kidding me?
There he was, smiling and chuckling at us. No…nope, I said. He laughed again.
Okay, so what was funny? That’s what I want to know. Geez man, do you think you’re original? Obviously not. Also, the fact that you had the nerve to say such a thing does not make you funny. It makes you a dick. Sorry, but it’s just a fact. He is lucky I didn’t take his tray and beat him over the head with it then make him lick it. Sick. But deserved.

I don’t know what it is about me that makes crazy Christians want to witness to me, but they sure do. And, apparently not just in this town.
Today, Husband and I were on our way back from Charleston/Isle of Palms when we got hungry and stopped at a crappy ol’ chain restaurant. It does have a good salad bar, so that was why we chose it. Before we could get in, we were outside waiting to be seated. Oh and minding our business. Did I mention that?
All of a sudden, this lady sat down beside me and asked when the baby was due. Not unusual these day, so I said oh in about a month. Then she asked if he’s a boy or a girl, which I answered, and then she went what the kids call ‘there’. Oh, a king.
I knew that couldn’t be good. Nobody but someone who was about to preach to us would call our unborn child a king. I wanted to say well, not really. We’re more like peasants. But, I just smiled.
Next thing out of her mouth, literally, was do you believe in the lord and saviour Jesus Christ? WTF? Come on people. I must really look like I need savin’. She went on to talk about her church and how we were invited to attend. She said she felt our hearts and knew it wasn’t that we didn’t believe but that we were still searching. Yeah lady, I’m searching for a way to get the hell away from you.
She also said that she wasn’t one to force religion or her beliefs on others. Just before asking if we wanted to visit the church’s website since we didn’t live there and couldn’t attend. Uh, no. I would really love it if people would back the FFFFFFFFFFFFFF off.
Aside from that, the babymoon was great! We had a wonderful, relaxing time and really soaked in the peace and alone time. Saturday was pretty much perfect, and there is nothing better than sitting on the beach and listening to the ocean. Except maybe sitting outside at a riverfront restaurant, watching the sun set, enjoying a nice breeze and stuffing your face with delicious food. Aaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!

Besides cooler temps and the impending birth of my child, there are several things I’m looking forward to in the next few months. P.S. Fall is my favorite time of year.
1-Football. Now ladies, I know some of you may not like football, but you should give it a chance. There is nothing better than watching it on a Sunday afternoon, especially with some good food and company.
There is no footballer I love more than Terry Bradshaw even though he doesn’t play anymore. He does host the Fox pre-game show (a good resource, ladies, if you don’t know a lot but still want to be included in conversations), which is equally as awesome as this picture of him.
2-Cardigans. Lately, during free time at work, I shop online for fall clothes. I haven’t actually bought anything yet. Yet. But, I am so excited for normal, non-maternity-wear that I can barely stand it. Plus, nothing’s better than a cardi. Here are some of my faves.
I diiiiiie for this first one and hope that someone bestows upon me a gift card so my baby can still eat after I buy it.

Then there’s this one which is just pure classic. That’s all there is to it.

I can’t get the picture for this next one, but it might be my favorite of all. It’s so lovely and perfect for a Fall day. Maybe with a sweet pair of jeans that you can fit into again.

Also, dudes, you can get in on this action too. If you choose wisely, that is. If you’re the right dude for a cardi or a cardi is the right one for you, you know. Don’t act like you don’t. And, if it isn’t right, for goodness’ sake, don’t try it. Here’s an example of it being right. (You’re welcome ladies)

3-Beer. Um, yeah. I know I’m pregnant and that throughout this pregnancy, I’ve talked about wine and beer and that to some of you that may sound terrible or sound as if I’m a total boozer. Well, you can suck it. The food/drink I want more than anything is a good, solid, strong IPA. I don’t care if you judge that because they are so delicious and good and it doesn’t say anything about me other than I have excellent taste in beer. For example:
Yeah, I know.
4-Leaves. Sure, they are pain to rake or blow out of your yard, but they are so pretty and a reminder that life is beautiful. After the baby is born, we will be taking a drive to the mountains to see the scenery and show Jin Woo what all he has to look forward to as he grows.
5-Pumpkin Spice Lattes. O. M. G. If you haven’t had one of these, you need to get thee to the ’bucks as soon as they are on the seasonal menu again and partake. They are so delicious and make you feel like you are swirling around in a ball of Fall-y goodness. Yu-um!
Happy Friday, and Happy Looking Forward to Fall!

There is nothing worse than a stop and chat. And a stop and chat at work makes me want to pull out my fingernails one by one and poke them into my eyeballs. I’m sorry, but I’m really getting tired of people here treating me as if I care. I assure you people, I don’t. The only reason I work here is for money, and I have made that perfectly clear by saying things like the only reason I work here is for money. Open your ears.
With all of their let me run this by you or even worse you should come to this meeting to see if you get anything of value out of it, it’s enough to make me want to scream and punch. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I really don’t want to get arrested now that I’m going to be a mom. How bad would THAT look?
And, who would suggest going to a meeting to see if I might possibly get something out of it anyway? I know other people do, but this is me we’re talking about.
These people have way too many meetings as it is. Phone calls to talk about meetings, meetings to talk about meetings, and stop and chats to talk about what happened at the meeting. Good lord, we just sat in a room together for over an hour talking about something I didn’t listen to. Why would you want to stop in the hall and chat about it again?
For more clarification on how things should go, watch this video. Larry David is my hero!
Curb Your Enthusiasm-The Stop and Chat

You know how when you get a new car or someone you know gets one or even when you see a car you’ve never seen before and now know what it is and then all of a sudden, you see that car everywhere? It’s like all of a sudden everyone went out and bought that exact car. And they really weren’t there before. Nobody had one. They didn’t even exist.
That happened to me in the mountains with Subaru Outbacks. I am not sure I had ever seen one before we moved there, but on my first day of work, I saw that my boss had one. Then, like magic, they were everywhere. EVERYWHERE. As if nobody in that town was allowed to have any other car.
Anyway, I think that this same phenomenon happens with seeing pregnant women. I am sure I have never seen as many pregnant women as I do these days. I guess it has to do with selfishness and self-absorption, right? You don’t notice things until they happen to you? But still. Seriously? There can’t be THAT many more pregnant women now than there have been in the past. Surely not. It’s like we have invaded the earth as a swollen-bellied army ready to procreate and conquer. Scary.
