Coffee, Doughnuts and an Onion... delicious!

Have you ever noticed how cute the bad breath guys that are on the Excel gum commercials? I swear, if my bad breath was this cute, I would never brush my teeth just so these little guys could fallow me around.

Mmmmm 2 ply... my favorite

Have you ever seen the show My Strange Addiction?

Good god. These people are seriously fucked up. I'm watching this show right now and some chick is arguing with her psychiatrist about how its okay to eat massive amounts of toilet paper. Hmmmmmmm... what would possess you to eat toilet paper to begin with? I look at toilet paper and say "Your meant to wipe my ass" not "Mmmmmmm that looks like a delicious snack, I could really go for some Purex Double Roll"...

Or how about the girl that eats couch cushions... She says that the yellow cushions are the best because they have the most flavor... I didn't know that foam came with a flavor. What does she have against white foam? is it too salty? Perhaps there isn't enough Polypropylene in it for her taste... According to her, she has eaten through 3 couches and 2 lazy boy chairs in her life time and she is only 30. That's like 2-3 living room sets... I've never owned that many couches in my life and I'm 30 and I've certainly never considered eating my couch... can you imagine how many people have farted and spilled shit all over your couch and then think to yourself "I'm going to mow down on that" Grossssssss.

I suppose one mans crack is another mans couch cushion.

My name is Lisa and I'm addicted to Food Network

If your pregnant and have a love for the Food Network (such as myself) be prepared to live in misery!
I love the Food Network! So many awesome shows but when your hungry every 5 minutes, like I am, and live in a small town, as I do, your life slowly becomes hell. Shows like "Best Thing I Ever Ate" and "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" put notions of greasy delicious food in ones head. It gives you the illusion that you can order pizza and eat a burger when ever you want.. but not in Elkford! 2 out of the 4 restaurants here are Chinese food and 2 out of the 4 restaurants are closed on Mondays...yeeesh

So why do you watch said shows if its so torturous? Because Food Network is like an addiction, I need my Guy Fieri and Duff Goldman fix.. I need to find out what's the best diner in Chicago, Illinois is...I need to watch them eat wonderful wonderful food and imagine that its me. Perhaps, I'm not addicted but a masochist..hmmmmmmm.

Til death do you part

Ohhhhh Elkford, you never fail.

Finally... FINALLY we set a date for our wedding... after months and months of stewing about it and thinking June was a good month. We've decided September... after all... I am having a baby soon. Perhaps June was wishful thinking, you know giving birth and just assuming my body will bounce back to better shape then before I got knocked up. Not that I've gained a crap tonne of weight but that stupid saying keeps lingering in my mind "It took 9 months to gain the weight, its going to take 9 months to take it off"...bah. So, September seems good.. plus September 2011 Terry and I will be together for 10 years, we pulled off a decade! (well almost)

Anyways, Labor Day weekend.. September 4th... the big day! Well, until Terry asked for the time off. Turns out August and September are busy months in Elkford for booking time off... Why? might you ask? Because its hunting season. You know you live in a small town when they turn down a wedding to shoot a moose. Hahaha this town never fails to amuse me!

To be Continued.... lolol

Braxton Hicks... Watts?

HAPPY NEW YEAR YA'LL

So, I think I might name my son Braxton Hicks... because that seems to be the name of the game of my pregnancy of late.


p.s. Braxton Hicks is the "technical term" for false labour. I want to meet this Braxton person and ask why he was so lucky to be named after this joyful feeling.

The Hills are Alive.....

The Sound of Music is on the telly, haven't seen this movie in years. I'm not a huge fan of musicals, but when Maria feels the need to break out in song, I can just flip the channel... after all holiday weekends are full of marathons. Damn, I need a hobby...or a job... or something. Okay, gotta finish up because Maria is just about to sing "My favorite things"... time to go back to the Food Network.


p.s. Christopher Plummer was pretty dashing back in 1965, just sayin'.

Holidays

Happy Holidays Everyone! Hope it was a goody.

Its very strange today because it's Boxing Day and I have no mall near by... what's Boxing Day without Boxing Day shopping? I guess we'll find out...maybe to my horror, it will be like every other day with out a mall!

This year was my first year ever to have Christmas off the island, to have Christmas sans the family. It was different, it totally felt like there was a piece missing but this is what change is all about, I suppose. I'm thankful for what I have here, I'm thankful that Terry was able to get the day off work, I'm thankful for Rebecca and Court and the surrogate family I have accrued here since I've moved...with out them, it would have been a very long and lonely holiday. So, thank you :)

Once again, as the story seems to go here, it will get easier...next year it will be easier. I hold on to that, I've heard it so many times here that I'm starting to believe it. Next year, I will have my own family to contend with, it will be my son's first Christmas. And that in its self is a milestone, a stepping stone to start our own traditions. Every family has them and they all started from some where and now its our time to do them. Growing up and away from family is hard and I miss them everyday, especially on the holidays.
