Have you ever had this happen:
CO-WORKER: "You know Lindy?"
ME: "Uh..."
CO-WORKER: "Lindy...Lindy!"
ME: "No, I don't believe so."
CO-WORKER: "Come on, you know Lindy."
ME: "No, I don't."
CO-WORKER: "Lindy...cute girl, always carries a backpack?"
ME: "Dude! I've never known anyone named Lindy in my entire life!"
CO-WORKER: "Oh...well...I saw her today."
What the heck is that about????
Have you ever been typing along, paying close attention to the page you're copying like we were all taught in school, and glance up at your screen to find out that somehow the cursor has jumped up into the middle of the previous paragraph and you have an entire section of text that doesn't belong there?
Have you ever done that?
Seriously!
How the heck does that happen??
It's a complete mystery to me.
Help me out here.
I really need to know.
I recently received two books from The Ooze Viral Bloggers. One of them has become quite a beautiful edition to my library.

Today I was in nursery in church. Wow...was that ever interesting. All the babies, even my usually sweet tempered boy, were practically hysterical. Each of the six children we had took their turns crying, being upset and needing to cuddle. Of course, mine was really pissed off that I was cuddling someone other than him. He's very attached to me for some reason ;) Eventually he got over it, but that was mostly due to the fact that he was completely and utterly exhausted.
I've been putting him to bed at nine for the past week - strictly. Before he'd play in bed until, sometimes, eleven thirty, and then he'd wake up a lot in the night. I thought maybe trying to give him a schedule now would help him out - and so far it's been going along swimmingly. He does occasionally wake in the night, and often it's good enough if I go in very quietly to comfort him - not even taking him out of the crib - and he's back to sleep. He's also been having much better routine sleeps during the day.
The only draw back is, now, though that he is sleeping so well (9P-9A), that if the schedule gets interrupted, he doesn't handle it quite as well as he used to. I'm sure we'll get over that eventually :)
Into Christmas at our casa. The tree is up and decorated from top to bottom. The stockings are hung on the garland trimmed fireplace. 25 days of the advant calander are full for the little ones.
Now onto wrapping gifts for our enormous famliy.
I have come to the conclusion that, in my life anyway, success is measured by how many "guys" I have.
You know what I'm talking about.
"Your dishwasher stopped working? I'll call my guy."
"Your bank account's messed up? I'll call my bank guy."
I've got a yard guy, tile guy, paint guy, car guy, IT guy, carpet guy, plumbing guy, electrical guy...
The only problem is...everyone has those guys!
But, what if I had some really unusual guys?
Like, "Oh, you're stranded in Mozambique? Sit tight, I'll call my guy."
"You're stuck in a drainage pipe? Hang on, I'll call my guy."
"You're being attacked by a what? Oh, a Panther? No prob, I'll call my big cat guy."
Compete with that!!
Here's the way this works, people...the one with the most "guys" wins.
Am I right about this, or what?

- Feed Statistics: to avoid going to feedburner to get numbers of how many people are subscribed to my RSS feeds, I simply installed this handy, lightweight plugin to do the job for me.
- Now Reading: a great little plugin to give your blog a whole 'nother dimension: a library. While this isn't a necessity when it comes to blogging, it is a cute, fun, addition that is really easy to use.
- Wordpress sIFR: have you ever seen sIFR? It's great! It gives you the ability to have really unique titles, while still being search engine friendly. Download this plugin, go through the steps and you'll be sIFRing before you know it. Works with any font, by the way. It's a step up from the graphic titles, because with those you tend to lose searchability. Not so with sIFR. If your visitor doesn't have all the necessary permissions or flash components installed, it will still display a text-only version of the header so they aren't missing out on any content.
- I like this: give your visitors another way to interact with you that doesn't involve comments: by using "I like it! - a popular feature on sites like Flickr and Facebook. Also comes complete with a module you can show in your sidebar or any PHP-enabled wordpress page to show what your most popular "liked" posts are!
One more week and I'm out of the first trimester! I'm very excited about that. Things are supposed to calm down once you hit that part and then we just deal with all the growing pains till the last semester when you've grown as big of a house. LOL.
I'm still feeling sick. Last night was horrible. It might have been more than just the baby...some sort of food poisioning perhaps? I'm not sure but I was asleep by 9pm after being sick for hours and hours. This morning was a little better but still feeling weak and dealing with nausea.
Things are moving around inside. I can feel my stomach expanding and things moving around in my abs. My pants that aren't maternity are starting to get tight and my shirts are starting to get too short. I'm glad we went shopping for clothes when we did.
I'm enjoying my 4 days off very much. I really needed some days to destress and work on the house. If I felt better I'd be doing more but It will get there. Mike is redoing the floor in the living room tomorrow with the new wood flooring we bought on Black Friday. GREAT DEAL. New floor for our whole living room for just $200. Awesome. He's going to do that so I'm making sure the livingroom is ready for him. Lots of laundry today too. We have so many clothes. We need to go through them and give some to good will.
Next Dr. appt. is December 8th. I'm excited to hear the heartbeat and learn more about how our little one is growing.

It's the time of year that I like to collect people's addresses to send out Christmas Holiday cards. So, if you did not send me your address last year, or have moved in the last 365 days, please send me your mailing address via email, and I will send you a lovely holiday card!
Please note that I do not sell addresses, nor give them out to anyone else. They are simply for sending holiday cheer.
