I had to pass this on... Vernae, over at Pieces of Me, just posted this to her blog. Of course, I had to try it out... Now, I'm addicted. LOL.
She did leave a warning... But I didn't pay attention... So, I'm warning you, hopefully you pay attention :D
Have fun!!
Sleep and Coffee... Two of the worlds greatest things... Coffee and Sleep. A great combo too, if you ask me...
I slept so wonderfully last night. I hadn't gotten that good of rest in a long time. I was so rested this morning that I didn't even complain when I got woken up by my Hubby at 5am when he came home.
Rowan and I were in bed last night at 8pm watching TV. The TV was out and we were 'out' by 920pm! WOO HOO. I slept really good too. I didn't have too many pains in my hips and I didn't have to get up more than once to use the restroom. I was out... Out like a light. It felt good to sleep like that... Yet it is already wearing off now :(
Both Rowan and I were woken up by the Hubby coming in this morning though. I knew he was late, because I had woken up at 3am to use the potty and he still wasn't home. His normal time to be home is around 230-300am. So, when he came in at five until five, I was a little worried. All was okay though, just got stuck doing some kind of investigation about a lady possibly stabbing her ex-husband :D Nice, huh? Yeah, thats what I thought...
Anyways, so when the Hubby came in to change and what not, it basically became time for Rowan to play... LOL. Daddy was sitting in full uniform on our bed talking to me and Rowan found his flash light. Oh yeah, so she had to play with that for a while. Haha. Well, because she basically woke up, she wasn't able to go back to sleep. She layed in bed with me for a while and when I got up to get ready for work, it was Daddy's turn to lay with her. Well, that didn't work either. In the end, Rowan was out of bed and in the front room watching TV at 6am.
That is why she crashed hard on her way to my Mom's this morning... She was asleep not even 6 minutes from my house and its only a 12 minute drive to my Mom's! LOL. The poor baby. She didn't even wake up when I got her out of the car either. I basically left her on my Mom's couch asleep... no good by kiss for mommy.
On my way to work, I thought I'd spoil myself with a stop to Starbucks. Hehe. Hey, I'm not fasting today, I could enjoy myself. Haha. So, I got myself and coffee and made my way to work. Coffee is something that I really don't drink all that often (I do have it... but not often), so now I'm spinning. WOO HOO...
Do you all like the cute graphic today? It is provided about the Tag Lounge... I just fell in love with it. So, thanks Tag Lounge!!
Tonight is Gym class for Rowan. She just loves going now. Especially in her little outfit... Its too cute. My Mom is taking Rowan to Target today, so I asked her to look to see if they had anymore. If they do, she said she'd pick one or two up for her for me. Aww, what a great Mom/YaYa. Miss Rowan is going to look styling. Hehe.
Oh yes... Christmas Eve is only 15 days away.... Better get to shopping!
Well, I've gotta run now. Time to get some stuff done now. LOL. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
HUGS TO ALL... Jennifer

Okay, this is my third entry for today... Very rare, I know... But I had to let you all in on this...
I was mentioning to my SIL (who I work with) about going and taking that glucose test. I was telling her that I don't remember all the details about taking it last time when I was pregnant with Rowan.
She pops out with, "Don't you have to fast for a test like that?"
Um, do I??? I don't and didn't remember...
So, I dial up the doctors office and ask the receptionist about it...
The girl confirmed to me that I should have fasted and that I could still do the test this afternoon if I hadn't had anything too sugary.
Hmm... Too Sugary? How about 2 sodas, a PB&J sandwich and 2 pieces of See's candies. UGH!!!!!
So... I guess I'll fast Thursday night and take my pregnant butt over to the lab on Friday morning, bright and early!! With out having my morning juice or soda....
DARN IT...
Well, I hope you all have a better day today than me... And REALLY, I was going today. ARGH.
HUGS TO ALL.... Jennifer

This is going around J-Land... So, I thought I'd play along too. Comparing the states I've been to, to the ones that Kathi or The Other Heather have been to is very funny! Maybe some day I'll be able to go places... But for now, California will do :D
If you want to play too... This is where you start.
I have a confession....
I didn't go get my glucose test done yesterday...
I'm a naughty naughty girl.
So, with out any more procrastination, I'm going this afternoon. I can't put it off anymore. I won't put it off anymore. I was just not feeling all that great yesterday afternoon, so I decided to go home instead. But I promise, I'm going today... I have to... And I will.
Anywho.
Its raining again today. The roads were very wet and slippery. I guess I missed all the accidents on my way in to work, cause the girls that came in behind me said there were many. Whew, lucky me... So, I guess we'll be dealing with more wind and rain today.
Yesterday evening we (the Hubby, Rowan and I) went to his brother's house for dinner. Actually, he went there to play XBOX with his brother and Rowan and I just went along with him to hang out with our family. We enjoyed a really yummy pizza from a local italian resturant and some hot wings and just hung out. Rowan had a blast with her cousins... Of course. She always has a great time with them, even with the age difference. Unfortunetly, we didn't get home until 930pm though. I wanted to leave at 830pm and had made it very clear that I did... Or so I thought. But the Hubby can never leave anywhere on time, especially when he is with his brothers. So, we didn't make it out of their house until 915pm. UGH. Because we didn't get home until late, we didn't get to bed until late... And that means I didn't get very much sleep.
Then the Hubby decides he isn't going to come to bed until 1am... Again. Ugh. Lately, I haven't been sleeping well and when he comes to bed that late, it wakes me up. Plus, last night, he decides he is going to steal a pillow that both Rowan and I are using. Our heads weren't completely on it, but we were using some of it. So, when he stole that, it woke me up. I called him a theif and rolled back over. LOL. But then he proceeded to tell me that it was all my fault that he was sick (mind you, he was fine all day long)... I made him sick by asking him to turn the fan on the other night when I was sweltering! Um, okay... I guess that is my fault. He also has been doing this new thing where he will literally lay on top of me at night... So, being 7 months pregnant and having someone else sleep on you doesn't make for a comfortable night! Watch out world... Here comes a grumpy Jennifer :D
I'm planning on having the Hubby take down the wrapping paper out of our attic today so I can do an inventory of what I have and possibly start some wrapping. Our spare room (soon to be Zachary's) is completely filled with Christmas gifts. It looks horrible and I just need to start wrapping, period. I need to do most of it before my belly grows any bigger... Haha. Nah, I just want to get it done. I'm kinda excited about putting presents under the tree.
I'm also thinking I'm going to pretty much finish my Christmas shopping this weekend. I have to finish shopping for the Hubby- only a few more little presents- and then it is just Rowan and 4 more family members. Rowan is going to be pretty darn easy. Just some books (which she is totally in to) and a few movies. "Spider Man 2" and "Mulan" are at the top of the list. I do have to buy for my brother and one of Hubby's brothers, whom will be getting a gift card to Sears so he can by his precious tools, and then our two nieces. Oh, they are the ones that are going to be the hardest too! Wish me luck too... Because:
CHRISTMAS EVE IS ONLY 16 DAYS AWAY!!!!
Hehe... I'm such a devil.
Speaking of Christmas, I've gotta run and work on our company's Christmas cards. WOO HOO. I'm so special. LOL. Hey, it keeps me from doing some other boring stuff though... LOL. I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.
HUGS TO ALL.... Jennifer

Boy, is it a blustery day.... The weather man had been calling for a storm to come in since Sunday and it finally came last night... And mighty hard if I do say so. I don't know how many times I was woken up last night by the wind and the rain hitting our house. Plus, last night was our night to put out the garbage, so, you can only imagine how many peoples trash was flying around this morning when I left for work. I don't think I saw a trash can with a lid on! Poor Mr. Trash Collector-Man.... He has his work cut out for him.
Rowan experienced her first electrical outtage last night... Okay, I'm not sure if it was her first-first... But it was one she definetly reacted to. We lost our electricity about 3 different times, for about a minute each. She didn't seem to understand why the lights and TV went out for no reason. It was actually kinda funny. Then, we decided to prepare ourselves incase we totally lost power (Hubby saw a BIG BLUE BOOM in the direction of some transformers)... So, we were lighting candles all over the house and she was coming behind us, blowing all them out! She is too silly about candles... She thinks they are birthday candles and that is what she is supposed to do. lol. In the end, we didn't loose our power... But we did have to reprogram all our clocks and TV's.
Anywho...
I changed my colors again... I wasn't digging the Christmas colors. They just looked to harsh. So, I'm going to stay with the simple silver for right now and see about adding some stuff to the side bar to make it look a little bit more festive. But hey, it will only be festive for a little while because....
CHRISTMAS EVE IS ONLY 17 DAYS AWAY!!!
Haha... I just love the reminders... Don't you? :D
So, lets see...
I decided not to go get my glucose test done yesterday afternoon. Not only did I want to go home and hang out with Rowan and the Hubby, but my back was killing me. I was in a lot of pain for a little while. Nothing I did would make it better. So, I left work a little early and headed straight home and went straight to the bath. I swear, I haven't taken that long of a bath in a LONG time... Then after my bath, it was straight into my jammies and I crashed on the couch! I didn't move for about 2 hours. Even the Hubby made dinner last night... I was very very tired.
So, I'm going to the lab today for the glucose test. I know it has to be done, that is why I am going... I just am dreading it. I did bring a magazine and a book to read while I pass the time. One l...l...o...o...n...n...g...g... hour. Humph.
Well, I have plenty to do today... We are closing out our month and I have to finish up payroll (woo hoo... check today!!). I hope everyone has a great day and I'll be seeing ya...
HUGS TO ALL....

Christmas Eve is only 18 days away... I truly can't believe it. I still have so much shopping to do. I have at least 5 people in our family to shop for and then have to have everything wrapped in time. Agh. Counting down the days until I'm not stressed anymore. LOL. Actually, I'm really not stressed, I just like to be prepared. Good thing there is still 18 days until Christmas Eve. ::giggle::
Our dinner last night was pretty great, if I do say so myself. Haha. The Mashy Potatos (you like that one, don't ya Jackie?) were great. I did them a little different this time by adding some garlic powder to them when I mixed them up. They were pretty yummy. I would definetly say that I'd be making them like that again.
And the time spent with my parents was even better. Miss Rowan is very attached to her YaYa and Grandpa. She was very excited all day knowing that they'd be over to have dinner. At one point, she asked when they were coming over and I told her later... Then she said, "After nap" and I said, "Yep, after you nap". Well, she napped... And when she woke up, one of the first things out of her mouth was, "YaYa and Grandpa over now?" How smart is that little cookie. I just about died laughing...
Other than that, our evening was pretty quiet. The Hubby was pretty tired and he decided he was going to go get a Sobe Monster from the local liquor store where he always goes while he is working. So, he went and got a few... and mind you, this was at 845pm!! Yeah, so let me tell you, he didn't come to bed until 430 this morning! Silly boy... And yes, I said BOY! I do have to say that it probably had to do with the drink, but his body clock is also sooo messed up from working nights, that it is just normal for him being up that late. But playing video games doesn't help either :D I just hope he can deal with his Missy Rowan today... Cause he has her ALL DAY LONG.
hehe...
I'm supposed to go for my Glucose test this afternoon... But I'm not really sure if I want to. I know its something that I HAVE to do, but I really don't want to sit around for an hour this afternoon. I have so much to do today and having the Hubby home is something that is pretty unusual (hehe)... So, I might put it off to another day this week. I just have to have it done by the time I go on the 14th to the doctor. I don't mind drinking the stuff... As long as it is similar to what I did last time, like an orange soda... But the hour wait and the needle in my arm is definetly not the high point of the day!
Tonight is spaghetti night! WOO HOO. I've sooo passed on my taco cravings (I still do have them...but...) to lovely pasta. I can't seem to get enough of it. Hehe. At least pasta is a little better than deep-fried tacos from Jack in the Box. Plus, I believe tonight is poker night for the Hubby... So, it will just probably be Miss Rowan and I.
Well, because it is Monday and I have plenty to do, I'm going to run. I might be back later to add some more tid-bits and what not... But I'll be around to comment!
HUGS TO ALL...
