My mom wants to buy me THIS for my birthday. Now my birthday isn't until April...but OMG gimmeGIMMEGIMME!!!!!!!

Logan and I are up bright and early! He slept pretty well last night, particularly for a cranky almost one-month-old! I'd call 10pm-3am, then 3:30-6-15am a successful night in babyland!

This morning I need to get myself showered and Logan before we finish packing up our last few things. We are headed to Corpus Christi today to hang with our girls down there! I haven't seen any of those folks since...hmmm Chicago I think!

I hope everybody knows what they are getting into. This will be the first night Logan has spent away from home since coming home from the hospital. EPIC! Alright girls, get ready to entertain a Spencer!

Okay, Logan wants his breakfast. Have a great weekend my loves!

OMG Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK. So unreal how fast these days are flying by!

Yesterday I spent the entire day having contractions. Eight minutes apart, pretty mild, and really very obviously not progressing.

I woke up this morning around 4:30am having contractions again. They were a bit stronger and more like 5-6 minutes apart. Nothing that would make me think the baby is coming immediately, but still a worry. I called my doctor's answering service and the doctor on call told me to call back if after an hour they were getting worse...so far they aren't worse, but they haven't gone away either. I took a shower and I FEEL BETTER, but the contractions are still coming pretty steadily. (ahh, and here's another one...) I don't know what to do. The last thing I want to do is head to the hospital only to be turned away/sent home. I have Spencer to consider, too. William is at work, but he can leave any time I need him. I don't want to call him away from work if I'm not going to be having a baby today. ARGH, why can't this kid wait until Tuesday like we planned?!?!? I mean, I don't mind if he comes today, but I wanna KNOW for sure that he's coming TODAY.

Siiiigh, anyway, that's the state of me. I'll try to keep everyone posted, if at least by twitter. If I do go to the hospital today you'll know it....

Keep thinking about us, okay!

Spencer just pooped in the big potty!

I feel like celebrating, I SWEAR! I'm sure he'll backslide a little and we are still learning about pee pee in the potty (WARN MAMA!) but YAY! Milestones, baby!

Those of you who follow me on twitter know that yesterday my computer inexplicably stopped working altogether. I found the screen frozen, restarted it, and for all of yesterday could NOT get it to actually boot up again. I tried a bazillion different things and finally FINALLY it ~restored itself sometime around 9pm while I was at dinner. It still does not function at 100%, and I have NO IDEA what to do! It is extremely massively SLOW and kind of ~~WEIRD~~ now, so there are probably glitches happening as we speak that I know nothing about. I should probably take it to the Geeks, but I do NOT have the money to spend on such things. At least I'm going to be able to move around and save most of my files and things that I'd left on my desktop, so there's that.

So I'm cleaning up my desktop and saving files and things and then I GUESS I'll head over to Best Buy in a little bit. ARGH COMPUTER PROBLEMS ARGH! This puppy is only just over a year old, too!

Anyway, cross all your fingers and toes for me that we get this thing fixed with minimal monetary damages!

Otherwise, life is good! Just so you know!

Last night's HBP movietimes with the girls was fun! I came home to Alyssa, Jacque, and a crazy still awake Spencer Jay. Apparently he was just waiting for mama to get home and tuck him in, because he immediately went to bed after I arrived.

Now he's napping and I'm going to get ready for NKOTB today! I have to pick up my sis-in-law at about 3 and head over to cousin's house so we can drive over tp Cynthia Woods Mitchell (UGH) together and head to the meet and greet around 5. Good times will be had, I'm sure. Spencer and all 3 of his cousins are staying with mom-in-law tonight. That should be a zoorific adventure.

Have a wonderful Saturday my friends. I'm off to decide what I shall wear!

♥

I NEVER post, and look at what happens when I actually do...



LOLOLOL


*~*~*~*SPARKLES*~*~*~*

Yep, I have a dreamwidth account now. Not that I'm posting there or anything. But I'm eckerlilas over there too, if you are interested.

I've uploaded all of the music I purchased Saturday night for anyone who is interested.

Vermillion Lies have two CDs and each lady in the band has her own CD.

You'll find all four CDs at my mediafire via the link below.

Vermillion Lies


ENJOY!

Also, if you have any of the Dresden Dolls albums (or any music by them or Amanda not on an album) I'd love to have it. I only have disjointed bits and pieces at this point. I do own Who Killed Amanda Palmer, so I don't need that one. :D

Thankies. ♥

Okay, so I started showing Alyssa videos of kittens...and somehow we ended up here:



( More videos under the cut )
Hahahahaha! What's this kid gonna be when he grows up? Brendon Urie?

I've decided that there can never be enough viewing of this video, so I'm reposting it too. I wanna have it at my fingertips for sad days.

WATCH, REPEAT. = HAPPYFACE.



Thank you Bert and Quinn. Thank you.

Thank you to all of my lovies for your kind words and thoughts the other day. You know what I'm referring to, and I appreciate you all so much. ♥

William and I bought tickets to see Underworld 3 on Friday, but William appeared to be slipping into a movie-induced coma, so we slipped into Push just as the previews were ending. I was enjoying Underworld but Push was very good, so I'm not complaining.

Yesterday Will, bb and I had breakfast at the local cafe. It was yummy goodness for Will and myself (OM NOM NOM COFFEE), while Spencer played with his magnadoodle and ate freeze dried yogurt bites and toast dipped in gravy. I don't know.

I had late afternoon lunch with some folks at The Monument Inn seafood restaurant. SHRIMP JAMBOREE OKAY.

And last night Spencer and I hung out with kylieq. Good times.

Now I'm off to get my hair all blued up again. Maybe I'll let him cut it again. You never know with me.

As lovingly stolen from canadiancracka:

Since tomorrow is "Valloween", you should tell me why you love me and I will tell you why I love you back!

PS - true story, I went to post this morning and first typed Halloween instead of Valentine's Day. Poetic, I feel.

♥♥♥

HAPPY BIRTHDAY lolscubadiver!!! I love you so much! How many amazingly great times have we had? We have so many more to come!

Have a fabulous birthday, dude!

♥♥♥

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13th!

William and I are going to the movies when he gets home from school today around noon. That will be how we celebrate Valentine's day this year (we can't celebrate tomorrow because he has to work). Should we see Taken, Push, Underworld 3: Rise of the Lycans or Friday the 13th??!?!?

Wow, aren't we romantical?

I'm sure he has purchased some sort of something for me as well...because I know him and he is often the best gift buyer in the history of the world. I'll keep y'all posted on that one because frankly, he HATES Valentine's Day. But he still goes through with it all because he LOFFS ME. Also, it's not like I'm a demanding harpy who insists we do something expensive or girly. What about me has ever been GIRLY? Hahahaha. Yeah, movies works for me.

Yesterday I saw He's Just Not That Into You with Mom and Alyssa. SUCH A GREAT MOVIE. I recommend it, most definitely! I cried a little though, just a warning.

Also, I saw Coraline last week. LOVED IT SO MUCH! SEE IT OMG!

I like movies, could y'all tell?

~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow night I am having a Valentine's Day Mocking Party at my casa if anyone would like to come over. I don't know what we'll do but if you have no plans please do join us. I'm sure we'll make plenty of mischief. (anytime after 5pm)

Alright sirs, off to the showers with me!

♥

Spencer is walking around the house saying "E-R" in different tones of voice and expression. Apparently that is him spelling his name for us. We have a little Magnadoodle board that we use to show him shapes and spell out his name. The "E-R" stuck, I guess. He also loves "E". He thinks all letters and numbers are either "E" or "E-R". He's cracking me up.
