Day by Day

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

awardI’m learning very quickly that pregnancy is incredibly unpredictable. I had all intentions of writing a post when I got home last night, but instead, I was laying on heat packs, fighting back spasms. Not to mention continued round ligament pain. :( But today, I’m feeling really good and even got in my first long workout of the week — 30 minutes of hills on the elliptical, and 20 minutes of strength training. Each day is so different from the next in this crazy mommy-to-be journey! I’m soaking up every minute though — even the painful ones. :)

So let’s get to the 14 random things about me. As I mentioned in my last post, Brittany and Steph passed the Beautiful Blogger Award to me (thanks so much, ladies!), and I couldn’t be more honored. Brittany has become a fast friend that I met through blogging, and her positive attitude and determination to lose weight leaves me in awe with each and every post.

Steph and I are long-time friends, and she is one of the most fantastic and talented photographers out there! Seriously, you need to check out her work…phenomenal!! I haven’t asked her yet, but I’m hoping she’ll do some pregnancy pics for us. Fingers crossed she has a day open, cause she sure stays busy. :)

I hope I don’t have any repeats…it’s hard coming up with 14!

  1. I hate ham, but I love prosciutto. Odd, I know.
  2. I have a huge extended family — more than 14 cousins on one side alone!
  3. I’m not a fan of scary movies, haunted houses and any other spooky things that other people find fun.
  4. My first boyfriend was in the 4th grade. Our relationship lasted a week I think. Ha Ha!
  5. I love to go dancing, even though I’m not very good at it.
  6. I’ve been a bridesmaid 5 times.
  7. I had bleach blond hair in high school, and braces. Luckily people were still nice to me. Ha!
  8. I am obsessed with reality TV. Guilty pleasures include all the Real Housewives series, Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant…oh the shame!
  9. I can’t sleep at night unless my kitchen is clean.
  10. My husband and I’s first date was dinner at a sushi restaurant. We’ve been together (almost 4 years!) ever since.
  11. I had a Michael Jackson doll when I was little. It had the full “Thriller” outfit and everything.
  12. One of my favorite movies is “The Jerk.” Classic!
  13. I am always cold. I keep a space heater running at work year round, and I always have a blanket or sweatshirt on at home.
  14. I refuse to eat leftover chicken. It just tastes nasty to me heated back up!

And I’d like to pass the Beautiful Blogger Award to these terrific ladies:

A new episode of Real Housewives of Orange County is on, so I must go! But, I will leave you with a very cute pup pic I took tonight. Tex played so much at doggy daycare today, he went straight to sleep when JD brought him home:

What a sweet, sleepy baby! :)

Have a great night, all!

awardWhile catching up on my favorite blogs last night, I was pleasantly surprised and excited to find out a Beautiful Blogger Award was passed on to me! My girl, Candy, who I “met” through the blogosphere awhile back, is such an inspiration to me. She’s a cancer survivor, a mom to one adorable little man and is kicking some major butt on her food and fitness goals. If you haven’t visited her blog, go now — you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you, Candy, for passing this award along to me. I am truly honored!

Ok, the rules are I have to list 7 random facts about myself and then tag 7 others that I feel deserve it as well. So here it goes:

  1. When I was 7, I was driving a go-cart with my cousin, Gabe, and crashed into a barbed wire fence. The fence sliced my left earlobe almost completely off, but luckily, I was able to get it stitched back on. What’s really odd is that my husband also almost sliced his left earlobe off when he was a kid on a broken flower pot. We have matching scars. :)
  2. Italy is the number 1 place in the world I want to visit. Although Ireland is a close second since I’m part Irish!
  3. In college, I had a poem published called, “Waitress,” in Rosebud Literary Magazine. But when I got the publication, they misspelled my last name by a letter and had to publish a retraction in the next issue.
  4. I have two sisters, and three nieces. We are hoping to get at least one boy in the family. Ha Ha!
  5. I have seen every episode of Sex and the City at least 20 times. I would love to be BFF in real life with Sarah Jessica Parker.
  6. I can’t open champagne bottles or biscuit cans — the pop freaks me out! And balloons? Forget about it!
  7. If I had to choose a different occupation, I’d be an event planner. Or own a doggy daycare. Maybe both. :)

That’s just a little about me! Now it’s time for these 7 amazing ladies to start thinking about their answers!

I’m going to curl up with the pooch and watch the rest of The Office. I love this show!

Night, night!
