sniffle

As of 05 March, I will have an unpaid LJ for the first time in four years. I will miss you, privileges!

I got Zoya's school picture samples. OMGFG, she is so beautiful.... The way the photo was done makes her look all exotic and seductive (bad thing for her age, I know, but many have told me that her eyes are very seductive when she looks at you in certain ways). I am definitely ordering all three poses (it comes with a free CD!) and posting here when they come out. She might be a brat, but she pulls off the imagery of a little Indian princess very well.

Mary thinks I have some screws loose in the head simply because I call Zena my little blond bombshell. It's a term of endearment, people!

Been having the sniffles ever since I got over my cold. I guess it's the lingering after-effect of being pregnant and sick, staying just a little sick for longer than is normal.

Ouch, a newborn broke his collarbone while passing through mommy's canal. Poor guy. Oh yeah, about that... I find that I am strangely fascinated with A Baby Story and Bringing Home Baby. These shows normally bore me to tears, but for some reason I just cannot pry my eyes away. Ah, as with everything else, this too shall pass.

Yay!

In a sudden, turn of event, green_slave surprised me with another year of paid LJ! This I was NOT expecting. I was expecting a nice lunch date with her tomorrow, her treat. You rock my world, girl!

Cravings

I want ice cream, and by god, I'm going to have it.

Earlier today, I had a sudden craving for Little Debbie's Swiss Cake Rolls. Normally, I am not crazy about those cakes. I'm more of a Star Crunch kind of person. But I just had to have those cakes and told Teddy as much. He swiftly, and dutifully, stood up, grabbed the car keys, and took off. Within moments, I was presented with my very own package of Swiss Rolls. Cheers for the daddy-to-be who indulges to his pregnant wife's every whim! 9 years ago, for half of the pregnancy, he was pretty much an asshole. For the last half, however, he practically changed overnight, and succumbed to whatever demands I had then. Personally, I think it was because my belly started getting larger and more noticeable, and that hit home with him. This time, it hit home right from the get-go. Either he matured over the years, or the previous pregnancy is still fresh in his memory.

By Monday, I will finally be able to grab my much-craved Big Mac. I don't even like McDonald's, but this craving has been harrassing me for days now. I tried to get green_slave to take me to McDonald's tomorrow for lunch instead of Chili's, but she was insistent on taking me someplace nice. No big deal - that Big Mac will be all mine sooner or later!

Seems like all I have been talking about lately is pregnancy and its downfalls. There just isn't much else going on, and this is the first time I've ever been able to document everything. With Zeb and Zoya, I barely mentioned much in my journal (that is, the old-fashioned little book full of adolescent woes), and never to the public simply because I didn't have a LiveJournal account back then. That reminds me, I wonder if jon_e_h is still around.... He was the one who introduced me to LJ. I don't even know if I got his username right. Ah well, wherever he is, I hope he is alive and happy.

EDIT: I went ahead and did a little searching. I almost had Jon's username right (missed the 'h') and he last posted in 2006. Apparently, he's married. When did this happen? Ah, I guess marriage is treating him well enough that he just doesn't post anymore. He was a great guy. Probably still is!
