Downside: I'm working on a Monday to make up for missing Friday. Upside: five days off this week!

Anyone have a good pumpkin cheesecake recipe? Because I totally want one and we're having a "thanksgiving" on Sunday. Since I want pumpkin cheesecake so bad, I said I'd make one. LOL.

There is a high probability that today is going to make my head explode. My staff make me crazy.

Someone just told me I have a pregnancy glow! And my acne is clearing up. My face is all clear right now! Whoo hoo!

I realized my husband and I are closet snooty (or overly competitive, I don't care which).  We both secretly compared our Christmas light setup to the neigbor's setup and thought "Yeah, ours are better."  It makes me feel a little better that he does it to, and at least we can laugh at each other right?

Obama is coming to LA today and tomorrow and I am pissed. He always drives across town during rush hour. And it's a holiday week, so the traffic will already be bad. ARGH.

I'm starting my hypnobirthing class tonight! I was excited... then I found out the class is right in the middle of the Obama street closures right at the time he will be driving. Sigh.

I wanna really really really wanna zig-I-zag ah.

I was trying to get home to Atlanta for my grandmother's funeral. Flew for 6 hours with a sinus infection, got to some airport and I had to fly to Charlotte before flying to Atlanta. Well, we boarded the plane and then the pilot came on and said they put too much fuel in one of the wings and so we couldn't take off until the either drained it or filled the other wing. We sat for an hour and I was sitting next to a pilot that was just flying somewhere. He leaned over and said "that's a pile of crap, its because Obama is flying in to Charlotte and the airspace is closed but they aren't allowed to say that. Pilots slightly enjoy coming up with the most ridiculous reasons for the delay when they aren't allowed to tell the truth." So, 30 minutes later, we got OFF the plane and 4 hours later, we got to Charlotte. I think I got to Atlanta 12 hours later than I was supposed to and I was MISERABLE. Presidential travel sucks. 

ETA BTW, I still don't know if this is true about pilots. The pilot I was sitting next to was kinda weird and made me slightly glad that he was sitting in the back with us and not flying the plane.

I can't find it on mobile but I made one from Martha last year that was fabulous. Make sure it spends a long time in the oven with a water bath. That's what the recipe called for.

I'll google it! Thanks!

Looks divine! I have to look up the ingredients for pumpkin pie spice, they don't have it here!

You're lucky!  I have gotten one "You look good."  and one "You're so lucky, you're carrying baby everywhere, not just in your belly."

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure that last one was actually meant to be a compliment!  I just said thank you and started laughing when I left the room.

Home from work. Anyone watch bethenney? I am so embarrassed for this woman.

I loved her and now I can't stand her talk show. It's totally cringe worthy.

So we are announcing the sex on Thanksgivig but Good thing we are having a boy MIL said "I say "he"cause I hope it is we have a girl we don't need another" my SIL has a 3 year old girl. I know she didn't mean it to come across so harsh.. But if it was a girl I would have felt about an inch big.

Text him a picture of your cleavage, and when he asks if he can have some say "God no!" When it comes to denying you a half-pound Reeses cup he should have known better!

I just made muffins instead of working out and now I'm sitting on the couch watching Sex and the City. Oh, and I am supposed to be "working from home" today. Oops.

When we told her about the baby, my MIL said "I hope you have a boy so you can finally break up the monotony of all the girls in your family!" I wanted to punch her!

This is the first grand baby. She was referring to the fact that I come from a family of girls and my mom has five sisters. Most are divorced or my uncles are deceased, so we really are a family of girls. Which I love! It felt like she was giving my whole family of origin and my female-centric childhood the middle finger. I wanted to say, "No, you hope we have a son so you can try and co-opt him and pretend he's yours, because you have an unhealthy attachment to men of all ages and wish my husband was still a little boy so you could relive the best years of your life - all of which are behind you - you phycho hosebeast."

My relationship with my MIL is complicated...

If you have a massage envy near you go get their prenatal massage I was drooling all over the pillow

I totally should be writing this "invitation" for this composer, and I'm just not. I am sitting here doing NOTHING, all day. It just needs to be done this week. Hmmmm...

So after the talk about cheesecake.. I have decided to make Cream Cheese Swirl Triple Chocolate Brownies !!!

I keep checking the earthquake report because I keep thinking there has been an earthquake. I'm either magically feeling earthquakes we normally can't feel or I'm dizzy. I am going with dizzy. (there was 2 earthquakes nearby in the past hour, but, they were like 2.4. No way I felt them. LOL)

This is where I've been going since the doc said I had to be getting regular massages. So much easier on the pocketbook! I'll probably look for a place that has a true prenatal table when I get really huge (I lay sideways hugging a pillow now) to give my spine more of a break, but it's doing the trick now.

FYI, I'm changing my username. It'll still be obvious, but, omit my last name. hehehe.

Name changed! Obvious enough?

Also for those of you who were around for my lovely washing machine debacle with my mother, update...I'm still not talking to her. And we've basically decided that we will be doing laundry at my in-laws 15 miles away every weekend until September when my BIL and family move to Germany in September and give us their newer machines...unless we suddenly come into some money or find someone giving their newer ones away sooner. This is going to be a long year. I don't know how we'll make it work with a newborn.

Have you checked a restore?

They would be nuts. Wearing a sweater like that would make me smile all day! Where did you find it?
