What Bugged Me Today

Just because I can get away with it for a few more months, I am going to make the most of my crankiness and share with you the top 5 events that irritated me today.

-Woke up this morning and hurt all over. Shared with my husband that it felt like I had run 10 miles the day before. His response "How would you know what that feels like?"

-Dropped Haley at school and one of the moms asked what was wrong with my eyes. Basically the same thing as saying you look tired but just meaner.

-Took Ella to the bathroom later at Wendy's and as she leaned over to pull up her pants all her hair nestled right in that middle spot on the toilet where the top seat doesn't connect. Basically where everyone's pee settles.

-Went to the doctor where they made me pee, chug a very large orange drink, gave me a shot, took my blood and told me I gained too much weight.

- Now let me explain the last irritating thing that topped off my day. My husband has had a nickname for me that he usually starts using when my weight increases from it's lower point. It's "Chunky Monkey". Unfortunately he enjoys my reaction which just increases the frequency of use. Well tonight he just called me "monkey". Not sure why more irritating than the whole thing. But it is.

That's it for today. There were a few more not blog worthy. I am sure tomorrow will start another whole cycle.

My Experience

I have been meaning for some time now to make Trader Joe's one of my regular stops for groceries. I feel like I have been missing out for so long not having their orange chicken. I had been there several times before to buy my favorite Zone bars but never wandered very far. I also went through a very short "cleansing" phase which cost me a lot of money but didn't last longer than a day.
Anyway I had some extra time on Tuesday night so Heather and I made our way to Trader Joe's to find prize items. She was looking for lemon curd which I don't quite understand but what I found was so much more fun. I posted my receipt (well Lauren did) so you could try to experience my cart first hand.As you can tell from my receipt I did buy orange chicken so I could be included in the mix but 75% of my cart was desserts. I could blame it on my state but I can't honestly say it would have been any different otherwise. I had three different kinds of cookies, chocolate ice cream bon bons and tofutti ice cream bars. My favorite are the bon bons which I have been enjoying immensely at all hours of the day. I also highly recommend the macadamia milk chocolate cookies. We did, however also have a nice dinner of orange chicken and artichokes last night which I must say deserves all the fuss that has been made about it. I am looking forward to trying the enchiladas and pasta sauce I bought as well (not at the same time mind you).
I did feel during my short tour through the store that I probably was missing out on several other prize items. If you have any other "loves" there let me know so I can be sure to try them the next time.

Help Me

So Lauren is making me post even though I don't have anything fun to post about. I was going to do a whine fest with all of my burdens but that will probably just depress me and you. Anyway I thought maybe you guys could help me think of a name for the baby. How about you give me your top 5 favorite boy names? By the end of March I would like to have a name for him. I also would like my nursery done so if my husband doesn't get on the ball maybe my next post will be asking for your help with painting.
