Thoughts and words from a seminary spouse

Flames Shooting from my Eyes August 28, 2008

Well, the word has officially spread.  It seems that everyone knows.  It feels good. 

My nausea has subsided for the most part.  I get tired at 2pm and kinda just stay that way.  My clothes are starting to get tight (shopping trip in my future!) and Wil is driving me crazy.  Yep, everything is right on target.

Here’s a pic of the wee baby within the womb: 

Not much to look at yet but Baby Keith has potential.  I’ve definitly been Mrs. Grump Face the past 24 hours but everyone can kiss it.  Nah, just kidding.  I want good vibes for me and the wee one as much as possible so when I am irrationally crazy, it hurts us all (especially Wil).

I have loved telling everyone my news.  I get everything from tears to shoulder shrugs.  I am an attention whore (as you may know if you’ve been in a group with me the past 12 years) and so I am eating it up.

 

My brain. It hurts. August 25, 2008

Yeah yeah.  Monday again.  I should be working but……not gonna.

Life has been very interesting lately.  I have had a surge of emotions all which are explainable.  I will explain them at a later date.  Actually, what the heck, I think it is time my blog world finds out.  Now, if you actually read this thing (which I doubt) and you are in or around where I live, please keep it on the DL until the first community lunch because Wil wants to do the announcing and he gets so little besides my crazy hormones and growing belly, I want him to have the announcing of:: (drum roll please) MY FIRST Pregnancy!  That’s right, you’ve heard it here 24th, Wil and I are expecting a biddy bundle of joy at the end of March.  That would make me 10 weeks and a few days.  We are thrilled, we are sobered, we are greatful, we are scared out of our minds.  We were watching an episode America’s Funniest Home Videos and they had a montage of kids with stuff smeared all over themselves.  It ranged from peanut butter to permanent marker and even butt paste and we silently looked at each other with a look of “Oh man, what have we gotten ourselves into?”  It’s gonna be great though.

I haven’t written in awhile because of the simple fact that having a baby is taking up every second of my free thought process.  I think about how I’m feeling, what I’m eating, vaccines, epidurals, and the list goes on….and on.  I don’t even care about other people anymore.  They are all, “Man I had a tough weekend.  My uncle’s brother’s sister…..”  and this is where I drift off into me land.  I know it sounds selfish but truth be told, I have what they call mom-iteous where I’m probably not going to remember anything you say anyways.  I am not being totally truthful….I care, a little.

 

Batman Endoresment August 1, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — atkeith @ 11:20 am

I went last night with some friends to see The Dark Knight.  Our movie theater choices aren’t that great around here and we ended up at the Old Hamm.  You can just picture the old days when you walk in but the bad part is, no surround sound.  Oh well, it didn’t hurt the impact of the movie.  It was awesome!  I wondered if it wasn’t getting too much hype because of Heath Ledgers death but I was proven wrong.  Heath is amazing in the film and put Jack Nicholson to shame.  It had a great story line and unexpected twists.  I did not like Batman’s “cover-up” voice.  It got to me after awhile and I am not a huge fan of Maggie Gylenhal.  She is pretty and all but I just wasn’t feeling it for her in the role of Rachel.

At one point I did think it went a little long, we didn’t get home until 10:15 and we left at 6:30 so with travel time, that still makes a long movie.  In some ways I think they should leave the Joker from now on…no one else should play him. Ever.  I did hear some rumors that Johnny Dep would be the Riddler in the next batman installation.  Sounds good to me, especially if he wears the leotard.
