happy anniversary to me!

last tuesday was my second year anniversary. thanks to mamsis, trink, rachel, bridget, carol, bill and deb, paps and naws and grandpa p for all the cards and e-mails. i had to work but afterwards we went to dinner at landry's. here's a picture of the flowers josh got me:

from ireland to colorado

with a short stay in minnesota. this arrived today (the booties came earlier) in the mail:

for those of you on the edge of your seats, i don't have gestational diabetes. i guess that means i can have all the sugar i want!!

fakin' it

i've been craving cappuccino blasts from baskin robbins, and although it's a short 10 minute drive to the closest one, i can't justify the gas or the $3 for something i can make at home. it was pretty good for a first attempt, and i even finished it with whipped cream and cinnamon on top. perhaps i'll use my days off to perfect it. as a side note for catherine, they've 'improved' the daiquiri ice, and it's terrible. like a lime popsicle. i suppose i need to start trying to duplicate that as well.
in other food related news, i made chocolate chip cookies the other day, and josh and i have almost finished them. probably not the smartest thing to do before my glucose tolerance test, but oh well. i'm hoping everything is fine not just because i don't want gestational diabetes, but so i don't have to drink anymore nasty orange glucola.

curse of the phone book

we get a lot of phone books on our doorstep. we don't even use them so today we took the four that we had in the apartment, plus the one that's been sitting outside for the past month and a half down to be recycled. this was about 10 am. when josh left for work at 12:30, what was sitting outside our door? TWO PHONE BOOKS!!! how did they know we just got rid of 5? we'll just leave this one outside so they know we don't need anymore.

roundhouse kick to the face

i was reading online that someone can hear the baby's heartbeat now by putting their ear to the tummy in a quiet room. last night i was telling josh this, and asked if he wanted to try. he asked me "what if i get kicked?" and i told him that the baby doesn't kick at night. turns out he does, and josh got kicked in the face. but he did hear the heartbeat, so i guess it was worth it.

after two failed deliveries, i finally went and picked up my clothes from ups. only two things don't fit and i can take them back to the store, instead of having to ship them back. looks like i'll be going shopping tomorrow.
