Purple Cauliflower & Motherhood

We got purple cauliflower from the farm!!!! Yikes!!!!



And here is a picture of motherhood gone lazy -- beer for Mommy, tv on, baby in swing.

I HAD A BABY!!!!

Gloria Louise was born this week!

What I Did Today

I watched 2 movies. "Interiors" which is a Woody Allen drama from 1978. It was very austere and haunting and also so unusual because it was still obviously Woody Allen style featuring self-indulgent philosophically verbose characters but without the comedy. And the other movie was "For Your Consideration" which I've seen before and was disappointed by but I thought I would give it another whirl. Still just okay for me.

Next, I'm going to sit outside and read "Eragon."

What I've Been Up To

While I'm waiting for this baby to be born I've been watching movies and reading books.

The most recent book I finished was "Ice Land" by Betsy Tobin. It was gorgeous and mysterious. I also read up to book 3 from the "Chronicles of Blood and Stone" series by Robert Newcomb. It was terrible. I don't recommend them mostly because the writing style is so poor. I also read the last Harry Potter which was great.

Yesterday, I watched "The More the Merrier" and "The Lady is Willing" both on Turner Classic Movies. They were both cute.

Awesome Website!

Polyvore is the coolest website in the world!!!! Here is what I created:



Are you picking up what I'm putting down?

So LONG!

It has been so long since I updated this blog but I have been mostly focused on the baby-blog since most of my news is baby related ... including this post ...

We are wildly getting the house ready for baby. Ryan completed the powder room remodel and now we're onto the kitchen, which is a total redo! We ordered the cabinets last weekend and they will be delivered in 2 weeks! Fast turn-over, which is great since baby is scheduled to arrive in a little over 7 weeks.

And today, I bought a lamp, as if I have the money for it, that I have wanted for a long while. We even registered for it for our wedding with no resulting lamp! But it is on sale now for $125 less than the original price! It is from Design Within Reach and called the Portable Luau Lamp:



Oh hurray!!! It dims so I can use it in our room when the baby first comes for all those late-night feedings and changes.

Sigur Ros Album!

I just got "Med sud I eyrum vid spilum endalaust" Sigur Ros's new album and it is AWESOME!!!!

What's the Freakin' Difference?

What's the freakin' difference between Coldplay and Travis? How is it possible that Coldplay, with their mediocre lyrics as compared to Travis, got so famous?

What a Lunch! aka Man, Am I Boring!

Today for lunch I'm having cinnamon raisin toast with low-sugar/low salt peanut butter and unsalted hulled organic sunflower seeds sprinkled on top and apple slices on the side! Eat up, baby!

I forgot to mention

That our dog Franklin is the best nurse. Last night I spent (in stomach pain) laying on the guest bed and Franklin stayed curled against my stomach like my doggie heating pad.

Home Sick Today

I was up all night with a terrible stomach ache! And I think the baby thought it would fun because there was a lot of kicking going on. What a funny baby.

This morning while sitting on the couch, I saw an American Goldfinch nibbling on some dandelions right outside our patio!

30th Surprise!

Ryan and my mom threw me a surprise 30th birthday party this past Saturday! So many old and new friends and family were there and it was awesome. Check out the cake that my sister, Louise, and Justin made!

Hi Friends! Hi Family!

So, I finally turned 30 after years of planning ahead for it.

More belly pics to be posted this weekend for your pregnancy pleasure.

Sorry No Update

Sorry there has been no recent update on any of my blogs. My grandmother passed away last week. Oh and today is my 30th birthday, which I totally forgot about, that I will spend at the funeral home.

Where Have I Been?

I've been making a baby. You can follow my progress here: Baby Kennedy on the Way!

I HATE DAVID COOK

Anyone watch American Idol? I hate David Cook. He's a complete douchebag.

I'm Not Missing

It has been about 2 weeks. I'm not missing, I'm just busy... Here is a little taste of my life:

Today we went to IKEA to buy a new vanity for our powder room!!!



Isn't it pretty?

This weekend I went to my friend Katie's 30th Bowling Birthday! Her adorable son, Jack, was there too.

Here is what I look like when I hold a baby:


Here is what I look like when I feed Katie cupcakes like a baby:


Happy Birthday, Katie!!!
