Whatever Wednesday

I'm copying the name of this blog from a local radio station, but WHATEVER. For Whatever Wednesday I'm going to say whatever I want in my blog. It doesn't have to be a story, it doesn't have to be funny, heck, it doesn't even have to make sense for all I care. It's whatever! This should be quite liberating for me...here we go.

I am sick and tired of the rain. There is a pond in our backyard again and the rain does nothing good for my mood, my flowers, keeping my freshly groomed dog clean and most importantly, it does nothing for my HAIR! Not to mention, spring is usually one of my favorite seasons. This has not been much of a spring at all. I really dislike you right now, Mother Nature. And remember, I defended you alllllll winter long. I swear I was the very last person in Cleveland to complain about the snow. But I'm complaining now and you are officially on my "list"!!! I don't know what that means, exactly. But you're on it.

I made tater tots for dinner tonight, at my husband's request. I felt very weird about it, given the fact that we are both 27 years old. I felt like we should be eating them in a cafeteria, not at a kitchen table discussing our grown-up jobs in our grown-up house. But then Pat asked me to throw one at him to see if I could get it in his mouth and suddenly, it felt completely appropriate that we were eating tater tots.

My allergies are awful this spring. Mostly in my eyes. I haven't been able to wear contacts for a week. Each time I try, my eye is irritated and infected by the end of the day. Thank goodness the sun hasn't shown it's face in weeks so I don't have to worry about the fact that I don't have prescription sunglasses. I will be that girl that has sunglasses over top of their regular glasses. If you see me, just pretend you don't. It will be more comfortable for both of us.

A spider dangled down next to me while I was going to the bathroom tonight. Naturally, I screamed. And since Pat was in the basement, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands (or shoe). So I killed it (I think). It fell in to the trash can. Dead or alive, I can't say for sure. But I had to repeat "Oh shit" out loud the entire time I was killing it. Somehow that gave me the strength I needed. Another milestone of maturity that should probably be reached before I bring children into this world is the ability to kill a spider, the size of a dime, without swearing.

I guess I should try to end this post with something positive... hmmm...I got my hair done today. But it's completely frizzy now because of this AWFUL WEATHER. Thanks a lot, Mother Nature.

So much for being positive.

First Annual Ugly Sweater Party

Ugly Sweater Party from Emily Robinson on Vimeo . Well, our First Annual Ugly Sweater Party was a huge success! We had SO much fun, as you'll see from the video. I also had so much fun making this video! I got a new flip cam for Christmas so it was fun to actually make a project with the videos! For those who attended the party, you will definitely enjoy all 14 minutes of this video (it is worth every second). I was laughing so hard while I was making it! For those who didn't attend the party, I can see how the video might get old or seem really long. Either way, if you watch it, let me know what you think!
Week: 19 Baby size: 6 inches, the size of a mango Bump size: 35.5 inches   Weight: +10 pounds Cravings: Anything sweet I still can't pass up desserts and don't worry - I didn't pass on anything this week, as much as I should have. I ate a glazed doughnut, piece of chocolate cake (it was small...) and a piece of cheesecake. Not all in the same day, but in the same week.  Other than my poor eating habits, which is old news at this point, there were a few other big developments this week. I guess you could say I officially "popped." I received more comments (and more belly touching) this week than I have throughout the pregnancy. This is both good and bad. I kind of liked being able to "hide" my pregnancy and only talk about it when and with whom I wanted. Those days are officially behind me and my protruding belly apparently is just screaming to people, "yes, I'm pregnant. Let's talk about it." There are only two weeks ...

Beware of Infections...

When I think of an infection, I think of something that needs a little neosporin and a band aid and then life goes on. When the doctors started talking about Mark's infection as something that is life-threatening, as you can imagine, I was shocked. He has stage IV cancer for god's sake, an infection is the least of his worries, right? Wrong. Turns out it's not uncommon for people going through this treatment to get these infections which can be fatal if it doesn't respond to antibiotics and continues to spread. So, going back to my blog about not worrying because it doesn't get you anywhere and it's a waste of time, yada yada yada - I have done very little of anything else besides worry during the past 36 hours or so. Even during the hour and a half last night watching the movie Amityville Horror I was worrying. Well, I guess I was worrying more about not peeing my pants, but you get the idea. I feel bad for the people around me when I get worried like this. I ...
