Guilty Pleasures

I was thinking the other day as I rocked out to Miley Cyrus (don't judge, it's a party in the USA!) that I would hate it if anyone could hear or see me while I was being so completely embarrassing. It made me think of all the other guilty pleasures i have. I happen to have quite a few and I thought it was about time I admit to my time wasting, brain melting deeds.

Numero Uno: Manswers. If you've never watched this show, you can probably just guess from the name that this show is one of Spike TV's most desperate attempts to appeal to men and be somewhat informative. It gives answers to life's most pressing questions; such as Which military pays for a boob job? A-Australia's (who'd have thunk?) and Are midget strippers less money cause they're smaller? A-No, there are fewer of them and they fall under the fetish category so you will have to dish out some big bucks for this "Tiny Dancer"

I feel smarter already!

B: Gay, Straight or Taken? The normal dating shows like "The Bachelor" and "Rock of Love" are filled with intrigue and drama enough to fill any gals quota. However, for those of us with a limited attention span, we have a compact hour of guessing before we are given a reveal! My favorite thing about this obviously scripted show is that I can test out my Gaydar.
PS has anyone heard of the show "Littlest Groom" ?? Its a little person dating show where he dates LP's and normal sized women. How could I have missed this gem! It opens the doorway for so many other special-needs dating shows! "Who Wants to Marry a Conjoined Twin" could be next! Speaking of which.....

3: "Tween" Books. However perfect for your young pre-teens, to strengthen their love of reading. I have (hopefully) surpassed the need for such simple wording and simple plot lines. But, just like my love for Disney creations old and new, I have continued to read "Uglies" to the very last page. (I would like to also state that I do read many other very good books, but still enjoy these simple-minded easy reads)

Lastly: Personality Tests. It's not that I'm still in the "who am I?" phase. Sometimes I just like to hear an already pre-prepared form telling me how nice I am (its easy to get if you select all the cutesy answers). But sometimes I want to know which Scrubs character I am most like (JD yay!) or what my Redneck Name would be! (I hope there's a Bobby-Jo!) I do more than I'm really willing to admit, I don't even want to publish them on Facebook. My silent shame. Well I gotta go! I NEED to find out which Shoe Defines me. Ta -ta!

One tiny thing

If you've never seen this picture before (like me until a few days ago) This is a REAL photo of a 10 week old fetus. Its been used by anti abortionists in their ads and they also created tiny feet pins that have become a highly recognizable symbol. It's really sad to me to think a woman contemplating abortion might not know that the tiny inch & 1/2 "fetus" they are wanting to get rid of is in fact a tiny person with fingers and toes, hair and fingernails.
I've become obsessed with following the progress of my own pregnancy and have recently gone to searching for real photos to get a better idea of the actual size. I've come across many of the jarred tiny ones that you might see at "Body Worlds" but this photo really struck me. There are tiny toes and details already in this tiny body that stun me. Although i cant feel or see anything yet, my little bean is starting to look like the cute little baby i cant wait to meet. I had the opportunity to get another ultrasound last week and i was able to see my tiny baby wriggling around, it was amazing! After a year of trying, we're gushing over every little detail thats happening. I'm so glad BJ is enjoying it as much as me, its been so much fun sharing this with him, as well as enjoying our time we have left as a couple.

B.J.'s vacation

So we just got back from California. It was SOOOO much fun, but in 2 days you have to run to do everything you want. Especially when what you want to do involves 3 BASEBALL GAMES! Sheesh, I'm baseballed out.

This trip was B.J.'s trip. You see, its a goal of his to see every single major league baseball stadium before he dies. Its a cool goal that I support cause baseball is the sport that least bores me to watch, and we get to go to some cool places where I sneak in what I want to do :)
This time I snuck in a trip to Sea World! It was really cute.

We decided regular vacation photos are too boring and we wanted to have a little fun. So you will find all of the pictures with us in them have us doing the same pose. It made for some funny questions and shouts when we asked these perfect strangers to snap a few pics for us.

(We would actually start out as the normal smiling couple, and then just before they took the picture we would strike a pose)

Reunion Photos

This is the t-shirt word game we played on our reunion, it was soo much fun!

Don't be fooled by B.J's expression, he put this all on himself!

Cute Alexis strutting her stuff

Pie eating contest! Kari hated us for making her do it haha

Way to go Adam!

The Vacuum Story

So, this weekend while vacuuming i was reminded that I love this vacuum! I know it's strange, but let me give you a little back story- We've had this monster, heavy, green vacuum that spits out half of what it sucks up since we've been married and since I am the cleaner of the household, I have hated it and fought with it and complained for a long time. Then B.J. comes home with this awesome Dyson ball vacuum! It works amazing and is lightweight, AND it's fun cause it reminds me of those little toy vacuums I used to play with as a kid. You know the ones that have the beads and confetti that spin around in it when you push it.

This had me thinking of other fond vacuum memories. A favorite of mine is from a few years ago when B.J. and I were dating. It was his turn to choose the activities and SURPRISE, he wanted to stay in and have me cook and we watch a baseball game :) (Don't be fooled, he really spoils me) I can't remember what I made but a good portion of it ended up crumbled on B.J.'s t-shirt.
Now what he did next will show you how little game he has. Instead of trying to impress the girl he is dating and sit up while eating, he sits back and lets the pieces fall on his chest and belly. When he is finished with his meal, he realizes the predicament he is in-Stand up and make a mess on the floor of scattered crumbs, or carefully clean himself up. His choice is to look at the mess, then to me he asks "Can you vacuum me up?" in total seriousness. I could hardly keep from laughing!
