Ok so I'm waiting for another episode of Prison Break to load... damn internet... and I'm bored. So I thought I might blog surf for a bit.
And lo and behold what do I see on the blogger dashboard page but a list of must-see Blogs of Note. Thank you blogger for making my blog surfing easy. I am lazy after all.
Bucky @ http://buckymania.blogspot.com/
Um ok Bucky, Mr debut country CD, I don't think I've seen a haircut that bad since Billy Ray Cyrus all those Achey Breaky years ago. Seriously. Check this guy out.
OMG I just noticed his archives go right back to this time last year... and they're still peddling this guy as a debut artist? The next best thing? Uh huh, sure. The public aren't that stupid... are they?
And I still can't find a box or something that tells me if he's gay or straight.. or bi. I sure as heck can't tell. I mean, he looks gay, but who's ever heard of a brokeback country singer? Oh. Brokeback Mountain... cowboys... yeah maybe he IS one of the fairy squad. With a haircut like that I can't imagine any selfrespecting woman would give him a second glance anyway... unless she were a lesbian and it was dark and she'd had quite a few drinks and she accidentally mistook this poor soul for another lezbo. Possible, very possible...
Fred's Head @ http://fredsheadcompanion.blogspot.com/
Hmm. This site "contains tips, techniques, tutorials, in-depth articles, and resources for and by blind or visually impaired people." Sounds like a valuable blog to me... till one starts to wonder what a blind person is doing reading an online blog? Do they make brail blogs yet? I guess its just a matter of time, but still.
Tumaini Kids @ http://tumainikids.blogspot.com/
Wow. Brings a tear to the eye. This is great... not only from a socio-cultural perspective, but also from the point of the view of the children involved. Oh, btw, this is a blog belonging to all the children who live at the Tumaini Children's Home in Nyeri, Kenya. Check it out.
So, yeah, where was I?
*reads some more of the blog*
How great is this! The kids are not only communicating with the outside world, they're also expanding their typing and computer skills, etc. Imagine the sense of achievement they must feel seeing their own words up in cyberspace, and then imagine their elation when someone actually reads what they wrote and leaves them a comment. :)
These kids are mostly orphans, living in a very hard part of the world. Visit their site and drop them a hello.
Church of Baseball @ http://baseballchurch.blogspot.com/
Um, ok. The fact that I stumbled onto this site directly after the nice, poignant Tumaini Kids site only means that I'm gonna have to type what I think of this baseball blog in capital letters: PFFT.
Seriously, who on earth is this obsessed with a "game"? A game dammit. Men (and women) run around in silly looking costumes, make weird signs and gestures at each other, hit a ball (or attempt to hit a ball), run around if they can... need I go on?
Calling this blog the Church of Baseball is probably apt too, considering the blog writers seem to idiolise the baseball players as if they were gods. More blah blah.
Get a life, geez.
And on that note, I think I'll go back to reading a bit more of the Tumaini Kids website.... cos dammit my Prison Break episode is STILL only half loaded. Talk about grrr.

eek... how come kym's a purebred and I'm a stray? lol
Joey, you cope with dog days by being a Streetwise Stray
When the going gets tough, you get even tougher! If life's not going according to plan, you're famous for knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. And more importantly, even when you're unsure of your next move, you keep your cool under pressure.
An awkward date? A parking ticket? A bad hair day? You make the best of it, and know there's more to sweat than the small stuff. But that's not all: Inside your "ruff" exterior lies a heart of gold and a personality to match. Way to stay ahead of the pack!
Damn Tickle, damn them!
How do I "Deal with Dog Days"?
Pfft. I lie in bed or on the couch all day. I ain't no stray lol! I have a home dammit! :P

23 whats? whos? hows? huh?
I'm not exactly a Jim Carrey fan... I mean, he's ok. Quite funny in some movies but I wouldn't call myself a "fan". I am, however, a fan of the psych thriller, so Mr Carrey's new movie, The Number 23, looks pretty interesting to me... worth a google anyway.
So, yep, I googled the Number 23 and there's heaps of sites. Check out the preview on youtube. And the pic they're using to market the movie looks pretty scary, rather demonic...
Hmm, so I'm still interested but what does rotten tomatoes say? Do I really want to know lol?
Sigh.
According to the critics this movie is...
"An unengaging and colossally dumb occult thriller"
"So cheesy its almost transcendent"
"mind-numbingly silly"
SIGH.
Oh well. I'd still like to see it but I guess I'll wait til it comes out on DVD. :(
Just thinking... I bet it has a stupidly simple ending like... Jim's schizo and the murderer/23 addict is actually himself. Maybe he murdered the girl and wrote the book. Just like that Robert De Niro movie with the little girl, whatever that was called.
Meh, whatever. If I get bored I'll go back to Wikipedia and read the entire plot, twists, ending, everything lol. :P

why do we praise god for sunsets but not for excrement? hmm... makes one ponder...
So I was thinking today... whether you believe in creation or evolution, this whole sick as a dog when pregnant thing is crap. I mean, we were created to suffer like this? pfft. Or this is somehow good evolution? pfft.
Your body is doing this amazing job of creating a whole little person, a whole new life, and yet you feel like a. a walking zombie or b. a drunk who's so far beyond being hungover that the word "hungover" doesn't even qualify. How is that fair?
Now, I do have a see saw theory which basically says that for every up there's a down, and that the height of the up always has its corresponding down. This means that if something is really really good, it has a really really bad side to it, while if something is only mediocre in your life, it really only has the slightest negative.
Consider this theory in terms of your friendships. If you have a so so friend and that friendship fails... you're not really that upset. The good = the bad. The up = the down. If you have a good friend and that friendship fails... well, same thing. How much you value that friendship will determine how badly you react to its failure.
And this theory can be applied to babies too... but NOT during the pregnancy bit. The wonderfully high "up" of the pregnancy/newborn baby cycle thingy is met with a thud by the not so wonderfully low "low" of the sleepless nights and vomit and baby poo and all that other eeky stuff. Having and raising kids is both the best and worst thing you'll ever do... it takes you to the very top and the very lowest point of the damn seesaw, and sometimes it travels fast between the two lol.
Which brings me back to the deathlikeness of early ish pregnancy. Why? It's not a karma thing, its not an evolution thing, its not a creation thing, its not a part of the up/down life cycle of the see saw... so WHY DAMMIT, WHY?
Am I talking in circles? Yes!
Am I making sense? Not much!
And why is that? Cos I feel like shit!
Sigh.
Which brings me to this little titbit of info courtesy of BabyCentre Australia -
If extreme mood swings leave you feeling like a drama queen this week, you're not alone. Hormonal fluctuations are treating your emotions like a yo-yo now. One minute you feel weepy and the next you're laughing harder than you've ever laughed before. Take comfort in knowing that those same volatile hormones are helping your baby grow. In fact, this week marks the first time your baby looks almost human. He has all the standard body parts in place now — though they're not yet formed to perfection.
Oh great, so I feel like death and the little leech doesn't even look human yet?!?
And as for hormones.. um, yeah.. I may have cried a bit watching early morning tv today... but its hardly my fault. That ad for the Jennifer Aniston tv special and the Loud Shirt day ad (raising money for deaf kids)... oh, and the Maury Povich "my stepfather might be the father of my new baby" show... I mean, they were pretty sad you know...
Oh... looky what I found... 50 Reasons to be Glad You're Pregnant -> (psst, i'm deleting all the ones that don't apply to us Aussies)
1 Relishing the early weeks when only you and your partner know your special secret. (and your kids.. and everyone they've accidentally told like the time we were discussing the wedding with a parent from school who also happens to be a major gossip, and Laura pipes up with "when's the wedding again? is it before or after the next baby is born?" Um, yeah, thanks Laura)
2 Knowing you've got nine whole months to plan, dream and fantasise. (sigh, 9 months, not me baby. I'm hoping for 7)
3 Choosing maternity clothes - they've never been more practical or more sexy. (PFFT!)
4 Now you've got the perfect excuse to pamper yourself - spending hours in a scented bath, enjoying a massage or rubbing soothing lotions into your growing bump. (obviously whoever wrote this list has no other children, let alone a demanding little 10 month old called Noah)
5 Maternity rights are getting better all the time. (blah blah, I'm barely working atm anyway)
6 You can join an antenatal class and find a whole new bunch of friends (omg! me? I don't think so. Can you imagine anything worse than a bunch of women sitting around whinging about their pregnancies - yeah, I, uh, don't do that - or talking about how perfect their kids are? Sheesh.)
7 For once in your life you need to get heavier - pregnancy is Nature's way of making you feel good about putting on weight. (um... yeah...)
8 If this is your first baby, enjoy the next nine months sleeping late at weekends: you won't get many chances later on. (sigh)
9 At last you've got the bosom you've always wanted, which means you also have... (doesn't really affect me lol... I don't need more "bosom" and I certainly don't need bosom's that leak :P)
10 ...a great excuse to buy lots of pretty new bras. (we need an excuse for this lol? eek!)
13 Suddenly you'll find you're getting lots of extra attention from parents, aunts and uncles, not to mention your partner. (um, should I get WK to read this?)
14 You may find you develop a closer relationship with sisters, cousins or friends who are parents themselves. Congratulations, you've just won free admission to the parents' club! (fk that)
16 New talents! Whether it's knitting bootees or assembling a flat-pack cot, you'll suddenly find yourself trying out all sorts of new skills. (oh.. great...)
17 Suddenly you'll feel a new appreciation for your own mother and all she went through having you. (no, not really)
18 Decorating the nursery: one of the most exciting things you'll ever do. (who the crap wrote this list? huh? huh?!)
19 Feeling those first fluttering kicks and thinking, 'Is that what I think it is? Or is it just wind?' (ok ok, yeah, the baby moving is pretty cool... for a while anyway. Til the little bugger starts kicking you up under your ribs.)
20 Feeling OK for sending your partner out for chicken tikka masala followed by double-choc chip ice cream. (hmm, unfortunately for me... hmm.. hold on, where was i? Now I want icecream dammit, can't concentrate)
21 Your parents digging out your old cot or pram, which they've kept safely all this time 'just in case'. (um, no)
22 Going for healthy walks with your partner and getting fresh air in your lungs because it's good for you and good for your baby. (ok ok, I give this one a tick too)
23 Enjoying the extra-vivid dreams you get in late pregnancy - and laughing about them with your friends. (so far all these "extra-vivid dreams" have been a pain in the ass. I need my sleep dammit!)
24 Feeling a little pair of heels prodding under your diaphragm and knowing you'll soon be meeting the little person they belong to! (I think I've already mentioned this already.. and not in a positive way)
25 Choosing baby clothes - or just phoning round for all the catalogues, leafing through them and planning what you're going to buy. (oooh yes, I"m a shopper! :D)
26 Writing a pregnancy diary for your baby to read in the future. (online diary maybe? I could never show the baby tho cos I swear way too much :P)
27 Getting someone to take photos of you smiling over your enormous bump so that, one day, you can look back and be amazed you were ever that size. (lol. If you see how stretched your skin is on your belly after having 3 or 4 kids... you won't need the photo as proof :S)
29 Lying in bed with your partner's arms around you and your bump, knowing that love has created a new life. (uh huh)
Ok, I give up. Noah just woke up and is screaming the house down. 29'll do.

no backin out now
Wedding's all booked... well almost all booked... partially... some of... meh.
Point is - wedding is set for 16th June at one of our fav beaches, yay. Invitations almost ready to go out, hopefully tomorrow. I wonder if I should make WK mail them... see if he can recreate that episode from Scrubs where Turk tries to post his wedding invites and blah blah. It was funny, but nice. Nice? Meh, I'm all hormonal today.
WK doesn't know it yet but I'm taking him to the Thai restaurant tonight that my bud Loo and I chose for the wedding dinner. :D LOVE the curry there! I'm salivating just thinking about it. *drools all over the keyboard*
Um, what else is there?
Oh yeah.. Noah's been sick. Had croup. Scared the shite out of us with his doglike coughing and inability to breathe properly during the night. But he's getting better.
And the new bebe... the family consensus seems to be that it needs to be a girl.
Zac doesn't want another brother: "I've already got Noah and he's my best friend".
Laura is adamant she doesn't want three brothers: "Another brother? OMG. No, I need a sister."
WK: "Of course its a little girl"
So I guess even if its a boy we'll just have to dress it up in pink dresses and pretend...

apparently this mememe is titled "an interview with myself" or something like that.. meh
1. Name one thing you could not live without.
Um, I should say something important like the Internet (lol), but I think I need to look more into my own heart and soul. Ahhh. The answer to this question is simple. World of Warcraft.
2. Name something you'd love to never see again.
Childbirth. I saw it on a doco once. Like, saw the head come out and everything. It was so gross my womanly bits ached for days just remembering. I still ache everytime I think about it. Ouch.
3. What color is your bathroom rug?
Meh, whatever.
4. Did you ever wear braces?
Gosh no.
5. Extrovert or introverted?
A bit of both. The extroversion is there to mask the introversion I think. But, meh. Too much self analysis makes one insane, been there done that lol. :P
6. What do you make of all this Anna Nicole Smith saga?
Who?
7. What's the population of the city you live in?
I dunno, lots ish.
8. Have you told a lie today?
Not yet
9. Name something you're good at doing.
Shopping. I can shop. You name it, I can get it. Or if I can't, I'll spend all day looking and then return first thing the next morning for a second look. No joke. :D
10. Now, something you do badly?
Life? Nah, I'm getting better at my life choices lol. I don't think I do anything badly, cept maybe contraception.
11. Who do you share your secrets with?
*points to Kym*
I don't keep secrets, I'm pretty open. Sometimes I keep things to myself while I dwell over them for a few days before discussing them with the people who matter, but thats not the same thing as keeping a secret lol. It's like a semi-secret let me think about it for a bit type of thing.
12. Who's your best friend?
Can I call my lvl 70 gnome warlock Lileek my bf? She's the only one who understands me all the time lol. Plus if I need her to do something, she does it. Who could ask for more? Oh... and yeah, WK in real life... of course.
13. Do you lie about your age?
I find age irrelevant. (note: thats what ppl say after they turn 30)
Sigh. I'm turning 30 next year... lol. True. :P
14. Confrontation or avoidance?
A bit of both. I hope I use the right tactic for the right situation. Sometimes I avoid til I'm ready to confront I guess. Meh.. self analysis again! Stop it! Damn meme!
15. What's the last film you watched?
Um... we had a movie wkend recently. Watched Casino Royale, Children of Men, Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, blah blah.
16. What about books?
Eek I don't have time anymore. I think the last book I read was the WoW atlas lol, when I was looking something up. :D
17. Do you enjoy eating sushi?
Well, yep. Sometimes, its not my fav food or anything lol. Too healthy. :P
18. Name a place you long to visit.
Geez, um. Big list that basically includes everywhere and anywhere.
19. Now tell me somewhere you would refuse to go?
Anywhere that involved a family reunion or any such thing. Eek.
20. Do you believe in life after death?
I hope so.
21. Do you talk to God?
Occasionally.
22. Any regrets?
I hate to admit it.. cos I think regrets are a waste of space, but.. yeah. Just a couple.
23. If you could be anyone else in the world for just one day, who would you pick?
The Queen. Just to see if she actually does wipe her own butt.
24. Who would you never want to be?
My ex-husband's girlfriend.. for obvious reasons lol.
25. Why wouldn't you want to be that person?
Cos.. well...
26. Tell me something that makes you uncomfortable.
Something or someone lol? Something.. um.. oooh I know, bridal shops. Someone... bridal shop attendants. Eek!
27. Now, something you are completely comfortable doing?
Playing Wow for such a long time period that I actually end up drooling on the keyboard out of sheer exhaustion. I'm completely comfortable with my own drool.
28. Do you have a favorite childhood memory?
Nah. Do I? Can't remember.
29. Worst one?
Moving right along.
30. Think of a song that describes how you feel at this point in your life.
Is there a song that says... I'm sick of stupid emo songs. They're just depressing.
31. What was the last social function you attended?
Um... eek... a birthday dinner I think. Wow that was ages ago. Sigh. I've become all anti-social. :(
32. Is your life what you thought it would be at this point?
Yno.
33. You can change one thing about your life right now.
Money. I wish I had heaps of spare monies.
34. Is there anyone who knows everything about you? All of your secrets?
Nope. I think that's a fallacy. People allow others into their lives to a point... and that point depends on the level of intimacy being shared. And no I don't mean sex when I say intimacy lol. You can be intimate with your thoughts and feelings, blah blah... meh, forget it. Stupid question. I should have just said no comment lol.
35. Is there anyone that you trust completely?
Trust... I guess no. Maybe my Nan, and yeah probably Kym I guess. But truth is people tend to be egocentric. They put their own needs first and foremost, its human nature. Do I trust WK? Yes I do. Do I trust him completely in the true sense of the word completely? I dunno - show me a male who isn't self obsessed and I'll show you a woman who's had a sex change op. :P
36. How did you find your way to your profession?
Um. I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that I may appear to be unemployed. Lol.
37. Do you believe in life long monogamy?
Yes.
38. What's your favorite food?
Hard to pick... curry, yes. Mexican, yes. Thai... yep that too. Oh and then there's risotto and gnocchi and all that good Italian stuff. Sigh. Getting hungry now.
39. Favorite alcoholic beverage?
Vodka I guess. I'm partial to a Pure Blonde beer too. And who could pass up a few cocktails... ooh and cs cowboys of course!
40. If you could talk to anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?
Um, the living person?
41. What would you say to that person?
Um.. hello?
42. What was the first concert you went to?
Pseudo Echo and the Divinyls when I was 13. I was totally in awe of the stage, the performers, the crowd... sigh.
43. The last?
Um.. the very last? Not sure. Either Simple Plan/Green Day or Little Birdie/Eskimo Joe.
44. Are you a gadget guru?
No. But one of my WoW characters is lol. :D
45. What is the ring tone on your cell phone?
Hahahaha. My ring tone is the opening verse of "Fuck her Gently" by Tenacious D. You gotta rush to answer it before the first F word is sung lol.
46. Tell me 3 things you are afraid of.
Deep ocean water, the dark and... something bad happening to a member of my family.
47. Give me the names of your 3 favorite television programs.
Prison Break, Curb your enthusiasm, Kenny vs Spenny, Scrubs... can I have four?
48. What do you think is worse: having your heart broken by the one you love or breaking the heart of the one you love?
The former. I've never experienced the latter so I dont know.
49. Name a behavior of other people that you don't understand.
Violence/abuse/cruelty... its all the same thing really.
50. What is something about you that you think others would not understand.
My WoW addiction lol. Altho.. all the WoW players understand it perfectly. *grins* Its just you non-wowers who don't get it. :P
Um, I should say something important like the Internet (lol), but I think I need to look more into my own heart and soul. Ahhh. The answer to this question is simple. World of Warcraft.
2. Name something you'd love to never see again.
Childbirth. I saw it on a doco once. Like, saw the head come out and everything. It was so gross my womanly bits ached for days just remembering. I still ache everytime I think about it. Ouch.
3. What color is your bathroom rug?
Meh, whatever.
4. Did you ever wear braces?
Gosh no.
5. Extrovert or introverted?
A bit of both. The extroversion is there to mask the introversion I think. But, meh. Too much self analysis makes one insane, been there done that lol. :P
6. What do you make of all this Anna Nicole Smith saga?
Who?
7. What's the population of the city you live in?
I dunno, lots ish.
8. Have you told a lie today?
Not yet
9. Name something you're good at doing.
Shopping. I can shop. You name it, I can get it. Or if I can't, I'll spend all day looking and then return first thing the next morning for a second look. No joke. :D
10. Now, something you do badly?
Life? Nah, I'm getting better at my life choices lol. I don't think I do anything badly, cept maybe contraception.
11. Who do you share your secrets with?
*points to Kym*
I don't keep secrets, I'm pretty open. Sometimes I keep things to myself while I dwell over them for a few days before discussing them with the people who matter, but thats not the same thing as keeping a secret lol. It's like a semi-secret let me think about it for a bit type of thing.
12. Who's your best friend?
Can I call my lvl 70 gnome warlock Lileek my bf? She's the only one who understands me all the time lol. Plus if I need her to do something, she does it. Who could ask for more? Oh... and yeah, WK in real life... of course.
13. Do you lie about your age?
I find age irrelevant. (note: thats what ppl say after they turn 30)
Sigh. I'm turning 30 next year... lol. True. :P
14. Confrontation or avoidance?
A bit of both. I hope I use the right tactic for the right situation. Sometimes I avoid til I'm ready to confront I guess. Meh.. self analysis again! Stop it! Damn meme!
15. What's the last film you watched?
Um... we had a movie wkend recently. Watched Casino Royale, Children of Men, Borat, Little Miss Sunshine, blah blah.
16. What about books?
Eek I don't have time anymore. I think the last book I read was the WoW atlas lol, when I was looking something up. :D
17. Do you enjoy eating sushi?
Well, yep. Sometimes, its not my fav food or anything lol. Too healthy. :P
18. Name a place you long to visit.
Geez, um. Big list that basically includes everywhere and anywhere.
19. Now tell me somewhere you would refuse to go?
Anywhere that involved a family reunion or any such thing. Eek.
20. Do you believe in life after death?
I hope so.
21. Do you talk to God?
Occasionally.
22. Any regrets?
I hate to admit it.. cos I think regrets are a waste of space, but.. yeah. Just a couple.
23. If you could be anyone else in the world for just one day, who would you pick?
The Queen. Just to see if she actually does wipe her own butt.
24. Who would you never want to be?
My ex-husband's girlfriend.. for obvious reasons lol.
25. Why wouldn't you want to be that person?
Cos.. well...
26. Tell me something that makes you uncomfortable.
Something or someone lol? Something.. um.. oooh I know, bridal shops. Someone... bridal shop attendants. Eek!
27. Now, something you are completely comfortable doing?
Playing Wow for such a long time period that I actually end up drooling on the keyboard out of sheer exhaustion. I'm completely comfortable with my own drool.
28. Do you have a favorite childhood memory?
Nah. Do I? Can't remember.
29. Worst one?
Moving right along.
30. Think of a song that describes how you feel at this point in your life.
Is there a song that says... I'm sick of stupid emo songs. They're just depressing.
31. What was the last social function you attended?
Um... eek... a birthday dinner I think. Wow that was ages ago. Sigh. I've become all anti-social. :(
32. Is your life what you thought it would be at this point?
Yno.
33. You can change one thing about your life right now.
Money. I wish I had heaps of spare monies.
34. Is there anyone who knows everything about you? All of your secrets?
Nope. I think that's a fallacy. People allow others into their lives to a point... and that point depends on the level of intimacy being shared. And no I don't mean sex when I say intimacy lol. You can be intimate with your thoughts and feelings, blah blah... meh, forget it. Stupid question. I should have just said no comment lol.
35. Is there anyone that you trust completely?
Trust... I guess no. Maybe my Nan, and yeah probably Kym I guess. But truth is people tend to be egocentric. They put their own needs first and foremost, its human nature. Do I trust WK? Yes I do. Do I trust him completely in the true sense of the word completely? I dunno - show me a male who isn't self obsessed and I'll show you a woman who's had a sex change op. :P
36. How did you find your way to your profession?
Um. I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that I may appear to be unemployed. Lol.
37. Do you believe in life long monogamy?
Yes.
38. What's your favorite food?
Hard to pick... curry, yes. Mexican, yes. Thai... yep that too. Oh and then there's risotto and gnocchi and all that good Italian stuff. Sigh. Getting hungry now.
39. Favorite alcoholic beverage?
Vodka I guess. I'm partial to a Pure Blonde beer too. And who could pass up a few cocktails... ooh and cs cowboys of course!
40. If you could talk to anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?
Um, the living person?
41. What would you say to that person?
Um.. hello?
42. What was the first concert you went to?
Pseudo Echo and the Divinyls when I was 13. I was totally in awe of the stage, the performers, the crowd... sigh.
43. The last?
Um.. the very last? Not sure. Either Simple Plan/Green Day or Little Birdie/Eskimo Joe.
44. Are you a gadget guru?
No. But one of my WoW characters is lol. :D
45. What is the ring tone on your cell phone?
Hahahaha. My ring tone is the opening verse of "Fuck her Gently" by Tenacious D. You gotta rush to answer it before the first F word is sung lol.
46. Tell me 3 things you are afraid of.
Deep ocean water, the dark and... something bad happening to a member of my family.
47. Give me the names of your 3 favorite television programs.
Prison Break, Curb your enthusiasm, Kenny vs Spenny, Scrubs... can I have four?
48. What do you think is worse: having your heart broken by the one you love or breaking the heart of the one you love?
The former. I've never experienced the latter so I dont know.
49. Name a behavior of other people that you don't understand.
Violence/abuse/cruelty... its all the same thing really.
50. What is something about you that you think others would not understand.
My WoW addiction lol. Altho.. all the WoW players understand it perfectly. *grins* Its just you non-wowers who don't get it. :P
talk about an eek moment
Our wedding's like 8 weeks away, which isn't long. So my bud Looloo and I spent the last two days doing wedding crap.
Yesterday - fun, filling. We went to all the restaurants on the "maybe" list and ate food. OMG. I'm salivating again just thinking about. Ended up deciding on this quaint little thai place that overlooks the beach. The curry was devine and they cater for all types of fussy eaters... yay! OH and when we were full to the point of exhaustion, we tried to walk off the calories by going for a walk on the boardwalk at the beach. I showed Looloo the place where we want to do our vows etc, so that was cool too. I think she liked it lol.
Today - dress hunt. A dress for me and a dress for my 11 yr daughter La. Frickin frickin tiring. I found a elegant green dress that I really really like.. but its like, green. Then I found a really funky black and white dress.. but i'd have to alter the top cos my boobs hang out a tad too much. And apparently thats not kosher at a weding. Oh and let's not forget the blue dress, i liked that one heaps too. The skirt part was really cool and it fitted my growing belly region really well. But, of course, I couldn't decide. The green, the black and white, the blue... there was no "white" dress anywhere. I mean, I just wanted a simple ish white ish semi-formal fun type of dress. Pfft. No one makes those.
So... Looloo suggests (albeit with a look of fear on her face cos, well, I hate weddings and all the pompous traditions that go with them) that we check the bridal shop where she bought her deb dress from a few years back. I figure wtf, might as well.
AND OMG... they have baby tuxedos! I must have one for Noah! Sooo cute! And we found a tux for my 8yr old son too so he's stoked. He loves weddings (don't know where he gets that from!). And my daughter tried on every single dress her size in the shop. :P Seriously. She ended up deciding on this really simple embroidered dress that is just gorgeous. So yeah, the kids are organised. No probs. I don't mind if they're all formally dressed etc, its just me. I mean, I don't want to look like a stupid meringe or anything... do I?
Well, see, thats the thing. I tried on like 30 dresses, partly cos it was semi-fun and partly cos I couldn't decide on which style would best fit my fetally-growing tum tum... but mostly cos the two women in the shop just kept passing me stuff and saying "try this... oooh, try this one".
And... its hard for me to admit... but I liked a dress. An actual proper white wedding dress. It even has tule underneath the skirt. Like... tule. A wedding dress. A real one. And I liked it. OMG.
So now I'm in a quandry. Do I stick to our agreed "relaxed non formal" wedding or do I go ahead and buy the only dress I've seen so far which I actually like? Eek. I'd say I can't imagine me in a formal pompous wedding dress but I can lol, cos I did it today and I still have pics on my phone. LOL
I soo can't end this post with a "meh, whatever". This is more of an eek type of thing...
Eek.
