1. Last weekend my husband went on the hunt for the ever elusive HP touchpad. I don't know if you heard the news about HP pulling the plug after only 7 weeks, but it sent many a geeks in quite a frenzy. After two frustrating, wanting to tear your hair out days,he found a couple- a 16 gig for me and a 32 gig for himself. I got mine on Wednesday and am already in love. Want to know what I've been doing since getting it? Playing Angry Birds. Hi, I'm Prerna, and I'm an Angry Birds addict. You guys may need to hold an intervention. I am still surprised that HP cut the cord prematurely, I think they should have at least cut the prices(which were, let's be honest, astronomical) before giving in. But I'm reaping the benefits, and at $99 you can't go wrong.
2. Now that I'm pregnant, not only will I be bringing a new life into the world through the miracle of birth (I don't understand why people think it's beautiful, it's not, it's kind of gross, but worth it)but I now have an excuse to inhale copious amounts of chocolate. No bar is safe with me around!Best Pregnancy Benefit EVER.
3.I'm going to try and pull another miraculous weekend of edits like the last, but that may not happen, since the morning sickness is finally kicking in. I'm hoping to finally be done so I can have it be looked over by some friends and family, but alas, my burning eyes are telling me that this may be asking for too much.
4. My oldest started school on Wednesday and I didn't even shed a tear! I was so proud of myself. I did get a bit misty eyed, but held it together at the end.
5. Have you ever encountered one of those questions from someone that isn't meant to be insulting, but totally is when it's asked? So the other morning I hauled my brood to drop off the eldest for school, when a mom of one of his classmates approached me. She proceeded to ask, with a cringing tone, and a look of pity in her eyes, "You're not going to have another one, are you?" Yeah, I know it probably wasn't meant to be rude, but it hit me all wrong and made me a little angry. I went on to answer, with a smiling face, "Actually, I'm pregnant with my fourth." Now, I have no problem with people who decide to have 1 or 2 kids, or none whatsoever, or even those who have an even dozen or more, it's YOUR choice. But sometimes the Judgey McJudgersons of the world really get to me. I respect everyone for their own personal choices, please extend the same courtesy to me. Thank you!
Have a great weekend everyone :)
Ick, morning sickness. I hope you feel better soon! And yay for chocolate. At least there's that :)
ReplyDeleteAs a writer and mother of four, I can so relate to...well, all of this. The morning sickness, the chocolate addiction (I've always had that hang up, though), the cursed edits, dropping kiddos at school and yes, even the 'McJudgersons'. When I was pregnant with my fourth, a neighbor shouted across street : "Are you pregnant AGAIN??" With him being larger waisted than me at five months pregnant, I almost asked him the same thing.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I'm on the HP hunt too. No success yet, but hope springs eternal.
ReplyDeleteAs for the McJugersons...avoid at all costs. Life is much to short for silly people.
I'm laughing at your Angry Birds addiction. I know if I get started I'll never stop. I'm hooked on the Alchemy app. The HP announcement was quite the shocker.
ReplyDeletelindy:you should have told off your neighbor...then again that might be awkward when your mowing your lawn or bringing in the groceries.
ReplyDeleteFellow campaigner buddy. I'm glad to meet you. I have added myself as a follower. To welcome you to my site I've also passed along to you a couple of awards. Please stop by on Monday to collect them. :)
ReplyDeleteHey - CONGRATS ON BEING PREGNANT!!! I'm so happy for you:) Sorry someone asked that - most of the time I think people are oblivious to how they come across. Frustrating, but they live in their own world.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new little one! And on the new HP. I'm a little envious. Okay, I'm a lot envious. Hope you continue to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThey have special prenatal vitamins, now, that help with morning sickness. Maybe that will help. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and you get your edits done!
