I need some pics on this boring blog! Well, none tonight. I'm too lazy to think of anything to take a picture of. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm totally ecstatic about a phone call I received from my sister earlier. She called to tell me that she and my mom want to throw me a baby shower in January, so my mom is going to pay for me to fly up to my home town! Sadly, my husband will not be able to take time off work to go. I wish he could, but honestly, baby showers usually aren't much fun for guys anyway. I'll be staying for a week, from January 14th through the 21st and my shower will be on the 20th. I'm sooooooooooo excited! My family usually makes a huge deal of holidays and other special events, so baby showers end up being BIG parties with lots of yummy food and tons of people. Anything I get at my babyshower, my mom is going to keep at her house until she comes in April when the baby's born. She's going to drive her truck again, so she can just load it all up and bring it to me. She even said she'd wash all the baby clothes for me so it's completely ready to put away when she gets here. I know I have some friends here that would probably give me a baby shower, but it will be really special to be surrounded by my family. I guess it's sort of like a wedding - most women look forward to and imagine that big day from the time they're little girls. Honestly, I loved eloping and I wouldn't have had my wedding any other way....but I have to admit that I have always looked forward to my baby shower and the extra attention that pregnant ladies get in my family.

I ate 2 cheeseburgers today: one for lunch from a burger joint a block from my house, and the other just now @ Mc Donald's (it was a double!), for a "snack". Shame, shame. But it's not so bad. I ate tons of veggies today as well. I think this baby's getting a pretty well-balanced diet as a whole.....lots of beans and bread for about 3 or 4 weeks.....then I went on to a little bit of chicken, some vegetables, and lots of eggs & cheese......and now I am in a beef and veggie phase, while chicken looks nasty to me. All along the way I've been eating plenty of high-fiber cereal, drinking a decent amount of water, and taking my vitamins. I wonder what my next food phase will be?

And just for fun, I got this off of Wendy's blog:

There are 160,483 people in the U.S. with my first name.
There are 29,997 people in the U.S. with my last name.
My maiden name must be pretty rare, because it doesn't show up in their database.

Oh crap. after I posted that code, I forgot that this is an anonymous blog and I want to avoid posting my name. I don't mind if you guys know my name, but I'm paranoid that nosey family members could Google my name and somehow find my blog. I don't really know if anyone would do such a thing, but sometimes my MIL can be a little strange like that. And see, that's exactly why I wouldn't want her to read my blog....because then she would know that I think she's a little strange. :)

You can probably figure it out without me typing it, though. My first name rhymes with "Sarah" and is the name of the plantation in Gone With The Wind. Ssshhh....don't tell.
