  So, every year Iceland has a competition for what the general public believes the most beautiful word is. This year. the word for midwife won, ljósmóðir. Its literal translation is light mother. Nice! The ugliest word of the year was the word for nipple. Geirvarta. Geirvarta literally translates to spear wart. All I can think of is if my light mother is going to check out my spear warts at some point.

  SO HAPPY! After two years of trying DH and I were finally approved to refi our home. It's going to let us wipe out all of our debt besides house and cars, saving us a ton in interest payments each month. This has been a huge burden for over 8 years, and a HUGE blessing to get a clean slate before the baby arrives. ::huge relieved sigh:: Thank you, God!

  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. 

  The Cheesecake Factory™ Pumpkin Cheesecake

  Ingredients

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

  Filling

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice

  Topping

  • whipped cream

  Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs with 1 Tablespoon of sugar and then drizzle the melted butter over the top.
  3. Mix this together well enough to cover all of the crumbs with the butter. Do not let it turn into a paste.
  4. Press the crumbs onto the bottom and about two-thirds of the way up the sides of the springform pan. It’s ok if it doesn’t go all the way up the sides. You want part of the cheesecake to extend above the crust.
  5. Bake for 5 minutes, then chill it in a refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  6. Combine the cream cheese, 1 C sugar, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
  7. Mix until smooth using an electric mixer (remove the lumps but don’t over-mix).
  8. Add the pumpkin, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and continue beating until smooth and creamy.
  9. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes.
  11. The cake will rise and turn a nice golden brown on top.
  12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room tempurature.
  13. When the cheesecake has come to room temperature, put it into the refrigerator (The Cheesecake Factory™ will let it chill for 24 hours to help bring all of the flavors together. You may not be able to wait that long, but it IS worth it).
  14. When the cheesecake has chilled or you’ve lost all will-power, release the spring and romove the sides of the pan.
  15. Cut the cake into 8 equal pieces and garnish with generous amounts of whipped cream (you could even lightly dust with some of the spices).

  Is it stupid to do research on preemies and all the things that come with having one??  My mom thinks it's a bad Idea to look into it now, DH and MIL think we should be informed.  I'm going to do the research at some point...but in a way I feel like I'm kind of throwing in the towel.

  In no way, shape, or form is doing research considered "throwing in the towel." It's always better to know what to expect from every potential outcome, than to have it hit you in the face with no knowledge of how to handle it. You're not doing yourself any favors by not making sure you're fully informed.
  
  Everything will be ok! (((hugs)))

  last pregnancy, I had this chart on my desktop!

  Because doctor said that I might give birth prematurely.

  And watched every week videos on youtube with surviving preemies, starting with 22 weeks. Every passing week, the babies looked more "human" and my hopes were rising.
  

  23 weeks	17%
  24 weeks	39%
  25 weeks	50%
  26 weeks	80%
  27 weeks	90%
  28-31 weeks	90-95%
  32-33 weeks	95%
  34+ weeks	Almost as likely as a full-term baby

  Fuck you, Sams Club in central Aurora. Fuck you all in the ass with no vaseline. All I'm trying to do is find out if your location has my dog food before driving across town since the one closest to me stopped carrying it. In no way is it OK to leave me on perpetual hold for 15 mins, then proceed to either throw me on instahold without even greeting the caller, or straight up pickup-hangup, 3 TIMES!, when I try to call back to find out the answer to my simple ass question. Then when you FINALLY answer the God damn phone, try to say "oh yea we're pretty busy, sorry." Really?!?! How hard is it to properly answer a phone, and check your damn inventory for some dog food?!!

  Thanksgiving is going to be terrible this year. My MIL has been the most annoying woman, we have to drive 9 hours, and now the only people I want to see (my BIL and his family) probably won't be there because their kids are sick. I'm so bummed, I know there's nothing we can do about them being sick and it's for the better that they stay away from me but still majorly bummed. The niece and nephews are the best part of going to my inlaws.

  I would, but I have no job right now and DH doesn't make crap. My unemployment, while helpful, doesn't allow for me to afford to feed my animals as well as I was. Sacrifices had to be made, including switching to a lesser expensive dog food that isn't $50 for an 18lb bag. It sucks, but it is what it is. I need to keep the lights on. I'd go elsewhere but this food happens to be the Sams brand. On the bright side, at least I'm not feeding them Ol' Roy.
