Where it all started!

All of you know I love music and I LOVE to dance. I love the 80's especially, or any great song that you can listen to over and over. I love a song that motivates me to clean, or snap my fingers down the hallway. I miss my IPOD and running. I know what songs make me pick it up and keep going! The faster and louder the better, the motivated I am. Well this love for music, (knowing many songs and the lyrics to them) and my love for dancing, all started from one movie. FOOTLOOSE!!! It was on today on one of the movie channels and I watched it. When I was 5 or 6 the movie came out. Now of days, who's mother would let their young child attend a movie like that? Mine did! I loved it! I had the tape and my tape recorder and I would bop down the drive way with my tape recorder on my shoulder and dance to "Footloose" and "Let's hear it for the boy."(Which is not a motivating song for me--only "Footloose") Back then I didn't realize what other great songs were on that soundtrack--they are all good. So now you know where I get my love for music and dancing from----Kevin Bacon. (Who was only hot in that movie!) I added a picture of Ariel and Ren when they kiss in the junk yard, after Chuck beats her up. The kiss I saw today in a different way--it moved me. (Or I think Kevin Bacon is hot in the movie, Lori Singer--not so much, especially in her red tank top at the bar.)

Santa's Visit!

Santa found us even up in Battle Lake at Grandma and Grandpa's. He at the cookies and drank all the milk Ella left. She can't wait to go try out her new sled.

Pre-Christmas Gifts

We let Ella open our gifts on Monday night. She got Snow White and has watched it once and really liked it. She also got Glinda "the good witch" from us. It's a Barbie doll and she talks. And....... Dora boots, walkie talkies, gloves, a Snow White doll, Barbie Jeep, and Cinderella DVD. SPOILED!

29 weeks!

My mom wanted a picture of how chunky I'm getting. So I asked Ella to take a picture of me. I think she did a pretty good job, don't you?

The Pink Lady!

Ella had a rough and expensive weekend. First of all, she has a cold. Sunday she complained her ear hurt. So I took her to the walk-in clinic in the snow storm ($35 co-pay) Yes, she has an ear infection, Omincef ($20). Then this morning she woke up and her eyes were all crusted shut and she couldn't open them. Back to the Dr. ($35 co-pay). Drops--$20. Are you adding it up? But mommy and her have slept in the same bed the last few nights so mom's eyes are itching too. No Dr. appointment needed, but got drops for me ($40!!). What!???!! So our two day total for being sick is $150.00!

Friday Night Fun!

We had fun on Friday night with the Pamperin's. Zack loves the Sticky Play-doh of Ella's. We gave him his own for Christmas. He was very excited.

Stupid!!

I need to learn how to use my simple camera better. I tried to fix the red-eye and ended up "formating" my memory card. Therefore I deleted all the pictures off of it. Ok--there was only 17 pictures on it, but they were never printed. So now I have no water park pictures from Thanksgiving, no dance show pictures of my nieces last weekend, and no pictures of my nephew dressed as a cheerleader. If I wasn't so freakin' lazy and uploaded them this week. Every night I have told myself to update the BLOG--they would have now been on my computer. STUPID GIRL!!!

Thanks for reading! I could have told you about my day--but my blood pressure would rise again and I can't have a drink to calm myself down.

2 1/2 to go!

Yea! December is here. Every new month means closer to my due date. I'm predicting another early baby, so maybe early February. This pregnancy is much harder than Ella. I'm tired more, my back kills by 6:00 pm, I can't sleep (back hurts), and I can't breathe. Ask Kat, I walk up the steps to her room and I need oxygen. I'm plain fat and huge!! I am thankful for all my symptoms and hopeful for a healthy baby boy!
