Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

Good Morning world!
Look at me! I’m on time! And awake! And it’s not even 10! It’s BEFORE 10!

The sugar doctor, like a sugar daddy only with needles
Today is the day I have to go see the specialist about my diabetes. Last night, because I had no carbs all day, I got to have French fries for dinner. 15 french fries. I kid you not. Seth weighed them on a scale and everything. And then I was only allowed a meager amount of ketchup because of the sugar. I pouted thru my fries and pretty much ruined them. I got to eat a whole can of asparagus though!
I realized for lunch today I have two kinds of cauliflower. I can’t believe Seth wonders why there is a moose calling for its mate constantly around our house.
So anyway today I go and learn how exactly to maim myself with a needle repeatedly and how much MORE good food they are going to take from me.

TV
I would love to tell you what I’ve been watching on TV, but everything is on hiatus, so mostly I’ve been watching Criminal Minds and Grey’s Anatomy reruns. And Pawn Stars. And other random shows I should not get hooked on but do. I refuse to go down and DVR them though because it’s cold down in the basement and for some reason my back and unborn child rebel against the seating down there.
I have been watching a lot of movies though. I finally watched “The Hangover” and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. (remember I’m the person who literally spits and scorns at all those Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow movies) So that’s pretty big news for me to be able to tolerate The Hangover. I also finally saw Inglorious Bastards which I thought was pretty good but Seth HATED.
For Christmas we got so many great movies and TV on DVD. I pretty much got everything I asked for and more. I got Grey’s season 5, Bones season 2 and 3, Mad Men seasons 1 and 2, Castle (SQUEEE!) and HIMYM season 4. Seth got Sarah Conner Chronicles (his favorite show) season 2, Star Trek (even though he didn’t like it as much as I did), Fight Club, and GI Joe. Seth’s parents gave us another DVD case because we have got so many DVD’s for Christmas, and trust me we need it! I just ran out of space on my TV on DVD case and I just ordered Tudors Season 3 and Heroes Season 3 (the only two I didn’t get).

New Years Eve
I’m at a conundrum about how to ring in the New Year. Originally Seth and I planned on pulling a Sioux Falls New Year and just staying home ourselves and watching movies and playing video games and just enjoying each other’s company. But then Kathy and Dan said they were having a house warming party, and since we haven’t seen them since Thanksgiving and we have Christmas presents for them, we decided it might be a good idea to stop by (plus they have swung by all our parties we have thrown, including last year’s never to be repeated again New Year’s Party). Then my Mom said she was having a shindig down at Beyond Golf, the indoor golf place and Seth thought that sounded awesome and I thought eating French fries all night sounded awesome (this was pre-sugar baby) and so we said we’d come there after we stopped by Dan and Kathy’s. Then my parents actually tried the indoor golf and declared it boring and said they were going to KC for NYE. So we talked with our friends Pam and Jason and said well let’s do our Wii game night and get some good food and hang out after we stop by Kathy’s. Then my Mom called and said Beyond Golf was back on and we had RSVP’d for a spot on the course already.
And now I wish I had just stuck to my hanging out in sweats with my husband plan. Because the thought of everything else just tires me out. We will see how I feel though on Thursday. I still have to get in contact with Pam because we weren’t 100% on if Jason had to work or if they would have to go to Lincoln to see his grandparents because they didn’t get to over Christmas because of the storm. So anyway as you can see-I have a lot of commitments.
I’m secretly thinking of just hiding in the movie theater and seeing Sherlock Holmes since the storm ruined those plans over Christmas.

Evelynn’s Blog
We finally got Evelynn a stroller and car seat! Which apparently is called a “Travel System” la ti da. We got this one http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Quattro-Travel-SnugRide-Marlowe/dp/B001PUITM0
We got it at good old Baby Depot, which is still the scariest place ever to shop for things. It’s inside Burlington Coat Factory. We had to wait FOREVER to get helped but when we did the guy seemed pretty knowledgeable, which was shocking because he was this old bald angry guy in flannel.
Evelynn has upped the kicking and the stretching, she is pretty active most of the time. Even when I sleep, which wakes me up and then I have to pee. She loves when I am lying on my back or side. She does not like it when I’m sitting up. It’s kind of hard because I want to share with everyone what this feeling is like, to have a person moving around inside of you almost constantly, but every time I put someone’s hand on my belly, she freezes up. It’s annoying. On Saturday we will be at 30 weeks-I can’t believe it!!
I have my first shower, Kathy’s shower, on Jan. 30th and I have a family shower on Feb. 6th that my Aunt Tami is throwing me. I’m very excited about both. Hopefully Evie’s room will look much better. We went ahead and got the stroller because I didn’t like any on the Target site where I am registered, so I didn’t have one on there. Plus seriously, who is going to buy me a 200 dollar stroller?

Other Christmas awesomeness I should mention
My parents got me a Kitchen Aid mixer-A FREAKING KITCHEN AID MIXER! I was so shocked and almost cried when I opened it. I also got a perfect brownie pan, which hopefully helps my poor brownie making skills, and a Blu Ray player from Cody for the upstairs which makes me so happy. He didn’t even know how happy that makes me because that’s one more thing I don’t have to go downstairs to the frozen pit to do! We have already hooked it up and watched a movie upstairs.

Off to see the wizard
Well I’d better see what’s going on in the world! I hope you all have a great day and I’ll be back tomorrow to mope about what the sugar doctor tells us. Blah.

Love (to eat carbs),
