3 Years Ago Today, We Celebrated with the Chicken Dance

Happy Anniversary Rebecca and Courtenay!

You can clearly see why they fell in love with each other!

Love ya both!

Mother Mother

For the past few months... three to be exact, I've been in denial. Denial about becoming a mother. I've always been sensitive about the subject, I've always thought that I would never have kids and I've always thought that if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.

So when I found out I was pregnant, it was a mixed blessing. It was a mixed blessing because of selfishness, because I didn't want to get bigger, I wanted to sleep in and I didn't want to go through the pain that is child birth. But, I think, where I am in my life.. I couldn't be more ready. My partner has a great job, we have a great house and our life was slowing down into a happy groove. I can afford to stay home and take care of my kids, Terry has a great work schedule so he would be around more to help me, I have a great support group here and where I live is very family orientated. So what more did I need? Its all here. But still in the back of my mind, I've had a hard time adjusting.

Until today. Thanks to the wonderful world of Facebook, I came across an article posted by an old friend from school. Brenda Derkacz has leukemia, she has had cancer/leukemia for a few years and for those years she has selflessly fought for her life. I've been lucky in my life to know people like her, some have passed and some have stayed and I hope to god that she stays. I know she will.

So today when I read that article, and read how she got got cancer for the first time shortly after her son was born, it hit me hard. Here I am pregnant with my first child and what if something were to happen to me? or Terry? I've been thinking about this all day, thinking about my own mortality and thinking about leaving my selfishness out the window. I am ready to become a mum, and I am ready to work for anything life throws my way. Brenda, I admire you, I admire your selflessness and I know that in my heart you will see your children grow up and start their own lives... just like we did.

This is the posting to the article I read this morning, I encourage my five readers to read it and send positive vibes her way

Eggo's Should be in Their Own Food Group

I'm tellin' ya, toaster waffles could be the most perfect food... they're not just limited to breakfast..they can be eaten anytime anywhere... provided you have a toaster, of course....

Dear John.

Dear John Cusack,

Please... for the love of god stick with what you know! Stick with the awesomeness that was Hot Tub Time Machine or Say Anything or Gross Pointe Blank... stick with movies with your sister Joan, she seems cool. But please PLEASE never star in an other end of the world action flick.. As one of your biggest fans, I beg youuuuuuu

Thank you for your time, keep on being rad.

Yours Truly,

Lisa

Terry has Curly Hair, Just Like Seth Rogan....

Heyy ya'll! I'm baaaack!

I kind of took a two month hiatus, sorry... lots has been going on in my little life and wellllll I couldn't share it...Until now.
After months of waiting to be out of the "danger zone" I can officially say in old fashioned terms, "I am with child". Sounds so cheezy, perhaps "knocked up" would have been a more relate able phrase?! Anyway, you get the point.

For anyone that knows me, knows that I think children are down right freaky. Sure, they have their moments... like my nephews are pretty rad but and its a huge BUT they aren't mine, they didn't come from me, they have their own mothers and well, I can go home at anytime and live scream free. But and once again a huge BUT, that all changes in 6 months. Come the end of February, I will have my own, I will BE a mother and I will never live scream free again...

Its a new adventure and I've signed up for it with a big red Jiffy marker at the top of the list! I have to put my fear of children, child birth and boogers aside and suck it up to become super mum. Dun Da Da Dun! Where is my cape and my neon leotard? Perhaps I should invest, give something for the neighbors to talk about..

Anyways, I'm back and promise to blog as often as I can... no more hiatus and no more secrets

Fuckin' Dog Correction

The fallowing correction must be made about my blog last night about the dumb bitch with the dog:

I'm sorry that I suggested you had kids and a creepy ass husband... I had you confused with the other assholes that own nasty ass Golden Retrievers.

Either way, I keep my promise to call the Bi-Law guy the next time I see your nasty dog

p.s. Nothing against Golden Retrievers, your cool... its your owners that aren't.

Mothman

This goes out to the huge ass moth preventing me from going in the front door of my condo:

You are one creepy, abomination... damn you for making me turn around and walk to the other door across the parking lot.

Damn you woodland, mountain, super bugs. Your fuckin' creepy.
