I feel horrible looking through the threads here and seeing how much everyone is getting ready for the upcoming babies. I have barely done anything. I have a few baby things but not much considering we have to start from the beginning again with this baby. I haven't even decided for sure where I'm going to deliver or with what caregiver if any. I don't have any names picked out. I don't even have a list to choose from yet. How awful is that? I'm 6 mos into this pregnancy and I don't have baby stuff or a name picked out. I keep saying that it would be easier if I knew what the baby was but part of me doesn't mind the idea of the surprise. I just need to get motivated to get ready for this baby. Anyone else NOT getting ready yet? I feel awful.

that would be me! I have done NOTHING other than make the registry. I do have a midwife, but she delivered DD2, so that was no brainer. And someone gave us a crib, but I'm not planning to use it. We have one name for each sex in mind, but definitely not lists. I had names in mind for my other kids before they were born and ended up not even using them anyway. And it took us over a week each time to come up with names. It's nice to have a little list to choose from, but none of those names may suit your baby when you finally meet them.
I also feel a bit limited about what I can do b/c we don't know the sex. I cringe at the thought of the baby always in yellow or green, but don't feel good about buying gender specific colors either. And since we're having a shower I don't really want to get anything else until I know what gifts we'll get. I'm hoping the family will get the big items like the stroller, the carseat, cosleeper, glider rocker etc. (this baby will have 4 sets of grandparents so I think they'll get the big stuff).
All I really feel like I need to do is clean the house and rearrange some things, but I don't feel like I need to start doing that anytime soon. Especially not with 3 messy big kids in the house... it would be a total waste of time.
My biggest priority right now is selling my Outback. :( I love my car, but it won't work for 6 people. Once I sell it then I need to find a minivan, but even that can wait till Feb or March as far as I'm concerned.
I haven't really done anything either. I am just now beginning to look for a crib on craigslist. Oh, I did buy an Amby Hammock for downstairs. I sold all of our stuff from our last two boys thinking we were done, but am not keen on replacing it all since I'm so sick of my living room being littered with plastics and baby items are so bulky and big.
I do have a midwife, but haven't scheduled an anatomy scan. I'll get around to it someday.
The baby's room is still the guest room and probably will be until baby arrives. I figure if it's a girl (we have 2 boys) that she can just wear some boys' clothes for a few days until we get something a little more girly. I still have plenty of carriers, wraps, strollers, etc from the first 2 since they are only 3.5 and 20 months. I really don't NEED anything and I'm feeling a little sad for this baby because I'm not planning and nesting for him/her like I did with the others.
That's my biggest issue for clothes. I hate the idea of all yellow or green but can't bring myself to buy gender specific stuff when I don't know the gender. Luckily when my car tore up last year we replaced it with a 3rd row seat Durango so we have enough space already. Our big ticket item is getting a new camper. We travel with dh for work and the camper we're in now is really small and just won't work once the baby gets here so we need to find a new camper. That won't be done until Feb or March though after income tax. I don't feel much like getting many baby things until we have the space either. I guess maybe I should make a list of stuff. That would at least be a start. Or maybe find a baby craft to work on. Something to get me in the mood. I'd been blaming the stalling on needing to get the other house ready to sell but that is pretty much done now and I'm still not there. I just feel horrible that the baby will be here in a couple of months and I'm no where near ready. I don't even have the desire to work on it.
Michelle mom to DD , DS , & lil DD and spending my days
Well...I have my provider and all that set. And we are pretty set with name options. We have a crib. Not set up- its in pieces. Other than that nothing. No point doing anything as long as the room is in chaos. Plus, I freak out everytime I think about the actual baby being here. No furniture to keep any baby stuff in. and when we were looking I got super overwhelmed. I hope once we get the organizing part done the rest will fall into place easier. I hope. We are planning on doing some organizing Sunday. Hope that works out for us!!
I haven't done much yet either. Some baby clothes I gathered from my baby crazy pre-prego days, but that's it. I feel like I can't do anything until February. My husband is in an internship program and won't find out where he's going until then even though it starts in March!!! Anyhow, I don't know where we'll be living so I don't know what we'll have room for... plus, with plans to breastfeed and co-sleep there is less to buy... can't get excited over toys because they're all cheap and plastic... also, no chain stores in our town so nowhere to shop. But you're not alone!!!! I'm glad I still have 3 months or else I'd be trying to diaper with dish cloths!
cancer-beating wife to DH since 7/4/09, mother to DS 5/1/11 + DD 8/21/2013
(4/09) (5/12)
Add me to the list of people who haven't done much. I don't feel there's much to do. I have a care provider and birth location that I'm satisfied with, that's the important thing right now. I haven't really begun to think about the birth yet, in terms of preparing myself for it, but I think there's a little bit of time for that yet.
Knowing that it's a girl, I could be buying some clothes, but I'm afraid of jinxing the scan and that she'll turn out to be a boy plus I have a neighbor/friend who has cultural superstitions about buying anything for the baby before it arrives, and some of that has rubbed off on me. And this sounds silly but I have no idea how big she'll be. Both my boys were 9+ lbs and grew fast, and barely fit in the newborn sizes. If she's smaller (you know, a teensy weensy 7.5 lb baby lol) and grows more slowly, I might actually need newborn sizes. So we'll wait and see on that. I do want to knit some longies for the baby, so one of these days I'll go hunt for some nice soft (pink!!) yarn and do some knitting.
There's not much else to do, for us anyway. We'll put up the cosleeper when i'm in early labor, or DH will do it after she arrives while I'm still at the hospital. I'll get out baby clothes and dipes and wash them in the those last few weeks. That's about it, really :)
Me. Haven't done a thing. Due to school schedule and where my due date falls, I'll have a good month and a half (assuming baby arrives around due date) of free time to get the apartment ready, do last minute shopping, etc. so I'm kind of pushing stuff off until then.
I'll start thinking about a registry at some point in the next few weeks, but apart from research various things (cloth diapers, etc.) I haven't done anything to prepare in terms of "stuff." We did hire a doula and sign up for childbirth classes. First doula meeting is next week. I'm excited!
Fiction writer by training, writer/editor of anything anyone will hire me for by trade. Me + D=my girls E (4/2011) and little N, 1/2014.
I am so relieved that we do not really need anything for this baby (other than a few outfits if it were to turn out to be a boy). The only things I have done are sort and organize my older kids' outgrown clothing, and bought a few medium AIOs to replace the ones we have that are no longer waterproof. We've been dealing with a family catastrophe since the end of November (my mother and my aunt were killed by a drunk driver in Florida), so this pregnancy has been completely neglected. I haven't even had all the appointments I would normally have with my midwife; I've barely been able to remember to take a prenatal vitamin, forget about eating properly, exercising, etc.
Yamilee! I am so sorry about your loss! How tragic :( My mom got really sick and has been in the ICU since the end of Nov, so I can empathize with how a pregnancy can get lost with life events going on... but still, my stress is nothing compared to what you're dealing with. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I have some things purchased, the room cleaned out and I have more to do but I'm just not going to stress over it. I used to be a huge list maker, super type A personality, I've relaxed since then. Life is much more peaceful this way. I just do a little here and a little there, we will have the necessities once baby comes. I did create an amazon registry for myself and have lists from the midwife so I see no need to go create more lists. :lol Maybe some other nesting instinct will kick in at some point but if not I am perfectly happy to remain calm and at peace with how things are coming along.
Mama to my sweet Sophia, born at home on 4/6/11.
Yamilee- I am so sorry for your loss. What a horrible thing to go through. My thoughts are definitely with you and your family.
Yamilee- I am so sorry! :(
Add me to the list of not ready. I always end up having everything ready too soon, then nothing left to do but WAIT. This time I'm waiting till closer to time, LOL. I already have our co-sleeper and most of the clothing, I'll just need to clean, set it up, and go through the clothes to pick up anything I may be needing. So really not that much to do, and can be done in March or so ;-)
Shannon~mother to 7 #8 due @Sept 8th.
Yamilee: I am so sorry for your loss...I cannot imagine losing my Mom let alone two close family members at anytime, let alone while being pregnant. As a side note regarding drunk drivers, I was on another forum last night (insomnia) and was called "snarkey" and told to get off my high horse when I suggested that another poster's fear and depression over her boyfriend and mother being drunks who stay out all night and leave her home alone should not be blamed on HER HORMONES. I was called "insensitive and rude" for suggesting that she needed to make changes in her support system when she signed on again and alerted the board that her boyfriend was locked up in jail for DUI. I wonder if those who opposed my views would be so quick to label me as they did if that woman's boyfriend had caused a tragedy such as yours and still blame the woman's body chemicals for her being upset over her situation!
Anyway, enough of that and back to the subject here....with my first baby (2009) it took my Mom calling me up 3 weeks before my EDD and saying "don't you think we should maybe go buy some things for the baby?" before I actually went out and gathered the items that I needed. I had made a list of the essentials, just had not actually gotten around to collecting them at that point. Then after my daughter's birth I realized that there were a few things that I should have gotten prior to the birth which included a breast pump and some other "boob maintenance" items. Since I was breastfeeding and co-sleeping there was no need to go crazy. Just the basics and anything I felt would be a nice addition in the house I would grab as I needed them.
We are still up in the air on whether or not we will find out the baby's sex...and really that does not bother me. I still have all of my daughter's clothes from birth until present and if it turns out to be a boy, I don't think Joan Rivers is going to be magically transported to my home to read me the riot act regarding a male wearing pink! We will be co-sleeping, and I already have a Snuggle Nest and Snug Tuck pillow for our family bed. I will be breastfeeding and already have the pump and all the bells and whistles that I will need....just might have to launder the breastfeeding pillow and make sure I have storage bags. Since we just moved to our new farm last year and have had contractors working on our home, I still need to organize and grab some furniture items....but nothing baby specific. I just try to remain mellow about it, it's a baby....not a flight to the moon.
Nesting will kick in hard sometime between now and when the little ones arrive....and we will all go into hyper-mom mode. It will be the only time that I WANT to scrub the house from floor to ceiling and vacuum the walls and re-arrange the toilet paper and all that nonsense that seems to be so important during the nesting period. I'm just going to wait for that....but I am cooking meals and freezing them so the old husband won't starve when I don't feel like cooking for the first week postpartum!
Oh and Crazyms....what does your DH do that requires you to travel in the camper? That's Cool!!!!
Yamilee, i am so sorry for your tragic loss. please take extra gentle care of yourself.
i haven't done much of anything to prepare for this babe beyond mw appointments, and fantasy knitting. i plan on actually getting started knitting a few gender neutral diaper covers/hats/booties in oatmeals, browns, etc this weekend, and i bought a mattress protector at ikea a few weeks ago, but other than some meals for the freezer, i plan on taking it easy til the birth. this is our fourth baby, we're pretty well stocked on diapers, carriers, clothes, etc. and we cosleep and breastfeed, so i don't need any bedding/feeding etc stuff. we'll need a new carseat, but i'm hoping to receive that as a gift from family/friends, as i've dropped enough hints that that's all we need. we've talked about names some, but will wait to meet the babe to decide. i'm just trying to enjoy this time as a family of five and not stress or panic about what needs to be done.
i'll revisit this post again in march when full-on nesting begins and get a chuckle out of this post, i'm sure.
Yamilee, I can't imagine but I am sending you all my love and strength!

Crazyms, we're going to move into a little 22 ft motorhome before baby is born and travel the country (after baby is born)! How cool to find someone in the ddc has a similar lifestyle!
For those who don't want all yellow and green clothes, I'll give you my perspective. We never find out the sex and it's not a problem because A) I hate pink and B) I hate typical baby clothes in pastels covered with little flowers or puppies, or baseball bats! The baby clothes I like tends to be mostly gender neutral--organic earth tones, bright orange sleeper that looks like a carrot, bright colors like turquoise or red, patchwork, or tie-die, or with beautiful, artistic designs like an autumn tree instead of a dino pattern. Baby usually wears gorgeous wool pants or wrap (doubles as diaper cover) with a Bob Dylan t-shirt or something. Not that you will share my tastes, but I wanted to remind you that there are really original, eye-catching baby clothes out there that aren't pink or blue, if you look for them!
Back on subject, we are re-inventing our lives right now and so the baby thing is much less center stage than it previous pregnancies. Then again, we had a baby a year ago and there doesn't seem to be much we need to do this time around!

Yamilee, I am so sorry for your loss. That must be really hard to loose your mom especially when you're pregnant.
My main issue with the gender specific colors is that my favorite color is purple. So when I see any purple baby clothes I think they are the cutest thing ever and want to buy them. Which is fine if the baby is a girl, but if I indulge my love of purple I may end up with a purple wearing boy, which is ok, but not for me. I don't like pink either, nor would I dress a boy only in blue, but I'm not dressing a boy in frilly purple girl clothes. :)
Today my friend brought us over a boppy, a baby food mill, and a really nice wooden potty. Yay!
Traveling mamas.... we used to travel too! When DD1 was a baby we had a sweet RV van that we traveled the country in for 3 yrs. Good times!
OregonicMama, that is too cool!

Yamillee- I'm so sorry for your loss- how tragic. This must be an incredibly difficult time for you. I do hope you get some chance to bond with your baby emotionally and mentally, even if other unecessary things get ignored.
I don't really do much preparing in the way of baby-focused stuff until the last month. That's when I wash clothes, sort diapers, set up changing station and bassinet. I also prepare food, and clean. Purchases are minimal and focused; we have boy and girl clothing- but I love gender neutral for newborns! I actually hate overly gendered clothes for infants- stupid baseball things or jeans for boys, and gross decorative things for girls. While I can't resist a sweet pattern on a sleeper (either boyish or flowery) I really enjoy preserving the 'baby-ness' of the baby- which is largely ungendered for me. And even then...I'm pretty loose with my gender-specifications...we have a rule in our house: colours are for everyone ;)
Anyway- these are the months that I focus on lifestyle changes- cleaning, organizing, renovating to make our house more efficient, and easier to manage. I also spend time preparing so I can take extra time to relax and focus after the baby- I work hard with my responsibilities now to rest later. Also, I do serious self-preperation and bonding. I begin new, or start to honour old rituals, take time for my health, and do lots of reading. Pregnancy is a very concious, focused time for me- newborns seem to rock my world so I do everything I can to prepare.
I've done nothing either. Besides buying a few baby clothes on clearance. This baby is a surprise and I already have one of each so I'll wash the newborn clothes for both. Baby will sleep with us but I will put a pack and play or bassinet in our room. I bought a new glider which is still in the box... I feel like April is still so far away. We have to put away Christmas stuff and get past DD's 2nd birthday before I can think about baby arriving.

DS 7.5, DD 5 (vbac), DD 2.5 (vbac), and DD 12/30/13 (vbac)
I cleaned my bedroom today in preparation of moving the bassinet in there. I need to get a couple of cute baskets to help store things on the shelf in the closet. I told my DH that I want a boppy for my birthday in February.
And that's the extent.
I haven't done much yet either. Some baby clothes I gathered from my baby crazy pre-prego days, but that's it. I feel like I can't do anything until February. My husband is in an internship program and won't find out where he's going until then even though it starts in March!!! Anyhow, I don't know where we'll be living so I don't know what we'll have room for... plus, with plans to breastfeed and co-sleep there is less to buy... can't get excited over toys because they're all cheap and plastic... also, no chain stores in our town so nowhere to shop. But you're not alone!!!! I'm glad I still have 3 months or else I'd be trying to diaper with dish cloths!
Well...I have my provider and all that set. And we are pretty set with name options. We have a crib. Not set up- its in pieces. Other than that nothing. No point doing anything as long as the room is in chaos. Plus, I freak out everytime I think about the actual baby being here. No furniture to keep any baby stuff in. and when we were looking I got super overwhelmed. I hope once we get the organizing part done the rest will fall into place easier. I hope. We are planning on doing some organizing Sunday. Hope that works out for us!!
you can put me in the indecisive overwhelmed lot, that is just me by nature and when pregnant it is just so much worse. I did finally decide that yes we will use ds's old dresser and get ds a new dresser so the baby can use his, but then i have to make decisions on the carseat. Ds' infant seat is unusable because i saw rust on a metal piece. I have 1 convertible that is brand new i bought 1 year back, but was told it is not good for infants, and i also have an infant seat that was given to us that was said to be new but i am leary to use it just because i didn't purchase it or don't know the full history, although the fabric still smells new, it is set to expire december 2011, so I just don't know what to do, so i just went ahead and added an infant seat to my registry and decided dh is just going to have to deal with it, i really want a new infant seat for the baby. See how stressed this post is sounding already, lol!
I have to get a new crib, and decided i really would like a changing table with wheels so add that to my list of stuff i still need to decide on.
I do have stuff left from ds, and feel comfortable using his used bouncer, bassinett etc, stroller now that i have had it repaired, but the crib and the carseats are the things i stress on and the breastpumps.
But I do have the diapering situation done thank goodness, well just about, and that is one less thing to focus on, of course money is always an issue, I would love to just have 1000$ to get whatever else i need right now, but instead i have to shop around for bargains and space it out between now and when the baby is born.
I can relate to the life events getting in the way this time. My grandmother's passing the week of Thanksgiving stopped baby thoughts for a while and I feel stalled with knowing that we're moving to a new job in the next couple weeks. I have been seeing a primary OB so far but have talked to a midwife about the delivery. I just haven't set up an appt yet because she is in the town we will be in soon and well we aren't there yet. I need to get on things with that though. We did finally pick out baby names though! I feel so much better now that we have names. I don't mind that we don't know the gender and am kind of glad it'll be a surprise but I was stressing about not knowing the sex and not even having a guess on names. I think maybe I wasn't feeling bonded enough to the baby just yet. We finally hit names that just felt 'right' to me and I feel much more baby minded now even though we're still stalling on some things. I have started some baby crafts though and started working on a list of baby things we need. I won't start buying for a while yet but I feel better just knowing what I want/need to get. After making my list (I think I can still minimize it a bit more though) we do have some things and I don't feel as stressed now. We won't be going baby crazy and won't buy stuff but what we need for the first couple of months anyhow. I will feel better though once we get moved and *hopefully* get a new camper but we really NEED the space. This one isn't even ours ( on loan from the inlaws) so I feel a little trapped by that too. I'll be happier with my own 'home' and can set up for baby the way I want. I think I'm just gonna work on some little baby crafts for now and just chill until we get moved and a new place. I'm just soooo glad we at least have names now!!!! (PS I can't figure out how to work the new reply box to format with space between paragraphs and such and it's driving me nuts so please excuse the long mess of words here)
Michelle mom to DD , DS , & lil DD and spending my days
I haven't done much to prepare yet, either. Before Christmas, it just felt too premature, and my husband is superstitious, so he doesn't want to buy the big items until the very end for fear of jinxing things. I'm not too worried--babies are tiny and can't get into things, so I feel like as long as I have a carseat and a bed for it, and some diapers and clothes, we'll be fine to start out. We still have over three months to go--plenty of time!

Normandy in 2014
A previous poster asked about lodging near the D-Day beaches for herself & husband (I think a 25th anniversary trip)+ her parents. We exchanged a couple of PMs but I would like to reconnect because the people from whom we rent a gite have another property that is probably available. We depart 9 April for 5 wks, so I hope the orig poster will see this before we leave so I can get the info to her.

Read more: "Rooted in experience: The sensory world of plants"
Our senses of smell and taste are intimately entwined. Conceptually, smells enhance or dampen tastes sensed by our tongues. Physically, our mouths and nasal cavities are connected so that our noses can pick up smells released as food is chewed. The major difference is that smell deals with volatile chemicals and taste senses soluble chemicals.
The two senses are also connected in plants. This is best seen in their responses to attacks by insects or pathogenic bacteria. As we have already seen, plants under attack emit a variety of volatile chemicals to warn their neighbours, but one called methyl jasmonate is particularly important. This is where taste comes in. Although methyl jasmonate is a gas and so an effective airborne messenger molecule, it is not very active in plants. Instead, when it diffuses in through the stomata - the ...

Andrei's Sketchbook (NSFW)
Hey so the name's Andrei and I'm a 16 year old highschool student working to get better. I've been drawing seriously for about a year and a half now, that was about the time I started going to subway sketching here in Toronto. I'm starting this sketchbook as a means of getting my work critiqued and keeping myself motivated.
So I guess I'll start this off with a few pages from my sketchbook.
The first page is just of some head studies and the the last 2 are Frank Frazetta studies.

tronrobot - Hey, thanks for checking out my sketchbook.
Today's update is just a page of subway sketching portraits, master studies from Robert Beverly Hale's awesome books and a really quick oil study of a dagger on my desk.

Vauxhall Ampera: exclusive first drive
We drive GM's electric-petrol hybrid, make a little bit of history…
Posted: 30 Jun 2010
The Ampera arrives in 2012, having gone on sale first in the US as the Chevy Volt. It's going to be expensive to buy (I'd guess £35,000) because of its big expensive battery. But if you can keep your daily commute under 40 miles, then you will cover all its daily energy needs by electricity alone. You'll need petrol only for the occasional long trip.
And given that petrol is taxed at about 400 per cent and electricity is taxed at five per cent, that will make the Ampera a cheap car to run.

The injury inflicted by the allegedly deliberate hit from Broncos receiver Wes Welker on Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib isn't as bad as it could have been.
According to Nick Underhill of MassLive.com, Talib has no structural damage in his knee. Instead, an unnamed source told Underhill that Talib was "just banged up."

I have been reluctant to compound the original mistake in omission, but
this has gone one more than expected.
The primary reason for making the statement was suggestion "a" listed above.
Consider this:
An e-mail message goes to a list with 500 people. Of these, 60% may not be
interested in your specific topic, while 20% may be passively interested
and the last 20% very interested.
By omitting information that could have been included in the first post,
and following up the post with another to include the omitted information,
you then cause 60% of 500 people (300 people) to be forced to delete not
only the initial message, but also the message where a user replies to
themself. The 20% of users who are marginally interested won't follow the
thread unless their mail-reader threads the topic, and the last 20% (100
users) will need to take extra time to find or follow the thread to read
about the message.
All of this creates extra work for the many readers-- work that is
multiplied across the many readers.
So, sorry about the original omission and this OT followup.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - miamivicemovie.co.uk
Today's website of the day is miamivicemovie.co.uk the official website for the latest TV series big screen remake.
In the 1980s, a TV phenomenon hit these shores and caused a generation of teenage boys to walk around with preposterously long hair, sleeves rolled up and casual loafers with no socks. I shudder to remember it. But, Miami Vice was a groundbreaking show that married gritty cop drama with glitzy Miami style and oh, how we all wanted to tear around in a white Ferrari Testarossa.
So it is with trepidation that some fans may be awaiting the Hollywood makeover. But, and it's a big "but" – this big screen remake has been in the hands of Michael Mann, the original creator of the series and the Emmy and Bafta Award-winning writer and director of big screen hits such as Heat, Ali and Collateral.
Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx take up the roles of Crockett and Tubbs and judging by the trailer on display here, the marriage of style and substance is still going strong. Didn't get to see if they were wearing socks though…

Parenting With Unconditional Love
Do you know what unconditional love means? Do you want
your child to love you for the right reasons? Do you want
your child to love himself and grow up with confidence?
Parenting with unconditional love can help you and your
youngster reach these goals. How do I know? Did I discover
this invaluable piece of advice from one of my many
psychology books? Actually, I learned it from my
She had no psychological training, but she instinctively
knew how to love a child. She showed that love in the way
she made you feel like you were the most important person
on earth.
Lest I forget, grandma saw to it that I behaved. She was
no push over. However, because she treated me so well,
with such great respect, sensitivity and interest, I keenly
desired to behave well for her, to show her my best side.
Imagine, feeling, as a child or for that matter, at any
age, that you were the most important person on earth!
Hence, parenting tip number one is to make your child feel
like he or she is the most important person in the world
by regularly, looking at her and what she is doing with
genuine curiosity, which gives you the joy of noticing
what a unique character she is, causing that joy to bubble
up from your heart to your eyes, such that when your child
looks up into your eyes, she feels your joy as her joy.
Then when and if appropriate, communicate this joy and
interest to her. This unconditional love can be a tall
order, so I will give an example.
When I was five years old, grandma watched me play with my
stuffed animals. As I looked up into her admiring, smiling
eyes, she laughed and showed interest by asking me what I
was doing. After I answered with my usual, "Just playing,"
she laughed again and said, with genuine enthusiasm and
glee, what fun she got from watching me play, how she never
saw anyone having as much fun as me, and how I proved so
excited and full of energy in my play.
Grandma was a busy woman, but she always took time to show
this unconditional love for me throughout my life. It never
waned or wavered. In turn, she was rewarded for her
kindness by my making time for her in my life. After I'd
grown to adulthood and become a busy professional, you'd
think the president of the United States had come to see
her when I visited. You see, even as an adult, when I
entered the room, she made me feel as if I were the most
important person on earth. This is an example of what
parenting with unconditional love can do.
Granted, grandma had been blessed with this tremendous
ability for making people feel good about themselves.
Nevertheless, if we, as parents, can give a little of
grandma's unconditional love to our children, it will go a
long way in helping them value themselves and develop into
all they can be, instead of wasting time trying to gain the
approval and love of others as adults.
I have grandma to thank for becoming a counselor because
when I grew older, I remembered how she watched kids and
found their behavior interesting and exciting. She
said, "You just never know what a kid is up to. Whether
it's something mischievous or good, I just get a kick out
of them." I learned to look through her eyes and see kids
in interesting and exciting ways. Perhaps you can too. It
is a real gift, not only for your child, but for you too.
Points to ponder concerning unconditional love:
1. Take some time to observe your child and give yourself
an opportunity to notice and appreciate his behavior, both
negative and positive. Can you delight in what a unique
character he is?
2. Unconditional love for your child is love in action.
It is the act of demonstrating you care through genuine
respect and interest in your child that is reflected in
your elevated expression, speech, feelings and other
3. One result of unconditional love is the child feels
known, valued and important.
4. Another result is the child feels comfortable in your
presence to be herself.
5. Through unconditional love, the child learns to love and
value himself.
6. Verbal I love yous are okay, if they are genuine, but
they cannot replace love in demonstrated action as
described in number one above.
7. Unconditional love can be a tall order. Just realizing
what it is, and its importance to our children can help us
all, slowly, improve in the way we see and treat them.
Parenting with love and logical consequences complements
unconditional love.

If you were looking to get Windows 8 to suck less visually I've made my installation gorgeous and now everything is even better than Windows 7 I had.
Here's what I have:
Visual theme/style is Snowy 2.0 here http://carborunda.de...ows-8-358919115
EDIT: Theme is updated to Snowy 3.0: http://carborunda.de...ows-8-363931948
You can adjust colors as you would in WIndows normally and it comes with multiple scenarios (with ribbon, without ribbon, with white active window caption, with dark active window caption)
1. Installed UXStyle.com
To get really cool effects, dock and stuff I refreshed my apps from Stardock with latest versions.
A) ObjectDock Plus 2.0 (better than ever right now). It's almost identical to OSX dock.
B) Decor8 for adjusting backgrounds of the lock screen, background on the win8 metro start screen, and a couple of other things. Excellent little utility
C) Start8 (I'm sure people already know what it is)
D) WindowsFX 5.0 (works awesome! with Windows 8 since it's updated)
F) Since I spent lately most of my time in OSX I couldn't get use to non-antialiased text in Windows. It just looked terrible for me, especially when writing code. It was just so terrible on the eyes.
So I am using this awesome awesome little utility https://code.google.com/p/mactype/ The best font smoothing for Windows. Depending on what presets you set it is 99% the same as OSX. It's amazing.
G) I also got used to using Win key/CMD on OSX instead of CTRL in Windows, so I used one cool app as well called SharpKeys http://sharpkeys.codeplex.com/ that will allow you to reconfigure keys so I did a switch between CTRL and WIN keys in windows so when I switch between OSX and Windows all my software and shortcuts feel the same (it was always an issue when I switch to windows to mentally adjust to hit CTRL keys instead of Win flag key - which is CMD in OSX)
H) If you want to get an excellent OSX like screenshot taking utility I highly highly recommend FastStone http://www.faststone...ptureDetail.htm .. Not only that this utility works even better than default Windows or OSX screen capture shortcuts and ways, but it allows you to upload to your own FTP. So you can hit Win+Print Screen capture rectangular area and you can either have it in clipboard or you can upload it all automatically to your FTP and it will copy to clipboard the URL to your screenshot to share. It's amazing and one of those apps I can't live without.
I am now complete and love Windows again. No issues whatsoever so far. Everything works as advertised, fast, light etc.
I hope you enjoy it too as this is really exactly what I hoped I would be able to do on Windows 8.
My Desktop as it is now

By Barbara Penny AngelakisPhotography courtesy Turkish Airlines
Türk Hava Yollari
Having flown in all three levels of service with Türk Hava Yollari known simply as Turkish Airlines, I can describe the comfort quotient as "good", "gooder", and "goodest". The seats even in economy are comfortable with a 17" seat width and sufficient leg room due to a 31/32 seat pitch. This attention to comfort is based on the airlines philosophy as described to me by Regional Sales Manager Cem Ongen. "Turkish Airlines is not merely a source of safe, state-of-the-art transportation to my country, but it is the first contact a traveler will have to experience Turkey's renowned hospitality". Consequently the airlines intent is to provide the best possible service from the moment you step aboard until you disembark at your destination in Turkey, ready to begin your odyssey in a country that spans both Europe and Asia.
As mentioned, there are three levels of service: Economy, Comfort Class, and Business Class. Turkish Airlines Comfort Class is similar to the Business Class on most other airlines providing wide ergonomic seats with pull up table, entertainment screen and control panel, all hidden in wide arm rests. Each seat is equipped with an individual LED light so you can read without disturbing others by turning on the overhead light, and several pillows and a comfy blanket are waiting when you approach your seat. The steward presented me with high-end earphones that fit over, not in, my ears, along with an amenity package containing a toothbrush and toothpaste, ear plugs, lip balm, eye mask and socks, but most importantly… she proffered them with a smile; a rare commodity on today's crowded and stressed flights. Also rare was the excellent food service with linen napkins, real flatware and plates. The food was slightly upgraded coach fare. Most of the service staff - from the check-in gate to on-board - spoke excellent English so communication was easy; again a rarity on international flights, and a much appreciated courtesy to the English speaking traveler. But in the event that you run into someone who you can not communicate with, simply ask to speak to a supervisor or another staff member. Travel is stressful enough without having to struggle to be understood.
Turkish Airlines Business Class is equivalent to First Class on other airlines with separate check-in and seating prior to the coach class which protects you from the boarding protocols. The seating configuration is 1-2-1 providing a measure of privacy, with the seat width a comfortable 22 inches which converts into a flat bed position. All of the amenities mentioned in Comfort Class are duplicated here with the addition that the seats have lumbar support in sit-up or flat bed position, a plus for a long flight with a sore back. Each seat has its own entertainment console with tucks neatly into the side of the seat and the complimentary amenity pack contains a convenient "Do Not Disturb" tag, the usual toothbrush but with a generous travel size toothpaste tube, a hairbrush, shoe horn and socks, plus Hermes of Paris Eau D'Orange Verte cologne, body lotion and moisturizing face emulsion all in convenient travel sizes.
In business class the food service was far more upscale with a real chef on board preparing the meals. The main meal offered a trolley selection for appetizer, a soup, in this case Artichoke with olive and pepper croutons, a choice of meat, fish or pasta made to order by the on-board chef for the entrée, an assortment of cheeses and fresh fruit, and selection of desserts. The second meal service also offered a good selection and while not exactly gourmet was way above the usual airline fare. Of course, the beverage service was on-going and always served with a warm and friendly smile.
A voucher given at the time the boarding passes are printed allows entrance to the business class lounge at Atatürk Airport in Istanbul.

SN-95 Mustang AIX Race Car - Agent Extreme
Leading The American Iron Extreme Points On The West Coast, Agent 47's Racer Bristles With New Ideas
Horse Sense: When asked how many races they'd won, the Agent 47 team said, "We'd have a lot more [wins] if Rocco [the AIX National Champion] wasn't there. But he's cool. He's our carrot. He has a light car and has been racing for years."
Race cars come in a variety of flavors. Some are pretty, some are gritty; some win races and some barely run. People gravitate toward the showy winners, but we also have a soft spot for those workman-like machines that aren't overly polished but run hard and exhibit creative craftsmanship. It's probably because many of our own race cars have been more purposeful rather than beguiling.
Agent 47 (www.agentfortyseven.com), the innovative, fairly new, Carlsbad, California-based Mustang specialist, has such a race car. It's what's left of a '94 Mustang built to the max for NASA's American Iron Extreme class. It's quick and handsome in a black and aluminum chic that says it's all business.
Those lucky enough to be at the track will instantly add the car's snarling, high-decibel exhaust signature to their assessment of the Agent 47 car's purpose. It's a particularly aggressive pair of pipes. Once the ignition is off and the car is quiet enough to approach, a close examination shows the Agent 47 machine is studded with tricks. From the NASCAR-like rollcage, widened hood, vortex generators, floating rear decklid, fender vents, and hood fences, and on to Agent 47's major fare, including the A-arm front and three-link rear suspension, this car bristles with crafty speed trinkets.
To understand all these parts, we should begin by saying that Agent 47 is a partnership of Corey Weber, Bill Osborne, and Heath Oyama. While others help, for example, Todd Harveston fabricates and Jerry Taylor puts in hours working out parts in CAD, Corey, Bill, and Heath are the principles. So far, their business is true specialty parts for Mustangs, including the pieces that don't fit into larger aftermarket outfits' product lines or items too racy or innovative for the bolt-on giants. The race car is the company's test mule and showcase.
The Agent 47 crew looks the contemporary part-goatees and ear studs here and there-except for Bill. He's old school, and we're sure he doesn't mind that coming from our gray selves. He has a long, storied career fabbing together all sorts of circle track, Trans Am, and other race cars. Bill is a whiz chassis man and the brains behind the race car's 'cage structure and suspension geometry. He has a pragmatic eye for assembling hardware that works without a moon-shot budget and is just the sort of character we'd befriend if trying to roll our own Mustang chassis.
What he's wrought started out as an American Iron car. Initially it was fitted with Agent 47's "inner frame," a substantial bit of iron works that's proved expensive for the street and over-built for a race car getting a 'cage, but it's ultra rigid. To this, Bill added his carefully designed rollcage/chassis and his own lightweight, three-link rear suspension, which features aluminum arms long enough to reach the front seats from the rear axle. A stock-block, 331ci noisemaker from Auto Dynamics was installed. From there, the Agent 47 guys spent all their time trying to reduce its power. American Iron has a power-to-weight-ratio rule, and with a 2,780-pound car, it doesn't take anything from a pushrod Ford small-block to earn the NASA tech inspector's disdain. Join Auto Dynamics background in Winston Cup and lightweight drag engines with Agent 47's zeal, and the engine simply wasn't basic enough.
After pinching this and choking that and still coming up with too much power, Corey and the Agent 47 gang decided American Iron Extreme was more their style. Extreme has no power limit, and the freer chassis and tire rules better accommodate Corey's tinkering tendencies (imagine a mechanical engineer at play and you have the idea). Thus, the engine was rebuilt into its now-snarling self by Auto Dynamics but retaining the paid-for iron block. Ported AFR heads, a cam with more than 0.700 inches of lift, custom shaft rockers, an Aviad dry sump, custom headers, 12.5:1 compression, and a Holley carb on an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold explain all the underhood racket.

text: The same institute that WHO chief adviser Dr. Albert Osterhaus operates from and who mainly caused the global drugs companies to make billions upon billions by the WHO calling an official pandemic. Now they create the greatest human killer of all time in their Labs. Do I feel another tens of billions of dollars drugs scam coming on? Possibly. How do these non-intelligent people live with themselves when this could quite easily fall into the wrong hands...and they want to put it into print also. Sheer madness ! These people want locking up and the key throwing away. For the Swine Flu showed over a year ago that by the time a new vaccine was produced we would all be well dead. i.e. the Spanish flu took from start to finish 6 months to kill up to 100 million and where the Swine flu vaccine was only created in the Labs after 6 months...then we had to manufacture it for the world. Therefore I will say it again, the only way to stop such a thing happening (and according to WHO D-G Margaret Chan it is only a matter of time, not when) is to address the killer virus at source. Is there respectfully anyone listening out there? Dr David Hill World Innovation Foundation

Since when?
Whether looking at a code base would poison you or not, checking a publicly disclosed source code license certainly wouldnt.
systemd is actually a lot of little utilities that each do one thing. If you don't know that, you're probably getting your information from biased sources.
The 'problem' with that line of thought is the systemd utilities are specific to systemd, they dont work with other systems. The unix philosophy isnt about just having lots of different commands, but that those commands work on a standard interface (hence the whole everything is a file aspect of unix even hardware devices). The complaint he's really trying to make is that those utilities are highly specialized and work only with systemd.
Disclaimer: I don't know how true the information on systemd in this post is. I'm just trying to better articulate a point the AC was trying to make.
And this is why I won't buy any Android stuff except the "nexus" line that gets updates.
All google promises on those is 18 months of updates. Although the update to lollipop for my 2012 n7 was a pleasant surprise, it is the first time they've updated a nexus that old.
The hotspot is on a vlan seperate from the subscribers network, whats more is you have to log in with your credentials so follow this plan the only person getting an fbi visit is you.
Would it be ok if the electric company required you to aim your yard light into the street for the publics free use?
your electric company has never tried to sell you "security lighting"? It's exactly that, they charge you money to install a light that shines on the street. You have to pay every month on your bill for it.
People who equate the right to vote with firearms ownership shouldn't be allowed to vote.
The us constitution places greater importance on one of these and not the other, guess which (hint: voting is less important)
Slaves were typically prisoners of war, ie members of one tribe that were captured by another tribe they were at war with. A lot of the "forced prison labor market" are prisoners of the war on drugs
Many studies have shown that it is healthiest to eat mostly vegetables, which is more or less the exact opposite of the paleo diet.
You sure about that? The Paleo diet I heard of involves only 19-35% of your alories from meats, the rest from vegetables. It just calls for non-starchy vegetables
This is where the anti-gun folks have it all wrong. Banning guns will only lead to an increase in knife crimes (ask England)

Since we often hear about our U.S. focus, here's one for the international crowd — HTC just outed a Windows Mobile 6.5 update for the Touch Diamond 2. The update is good in Germany, Denmark, UK, Sweden, Norway and Portugal. And it's not just a simple upgrade of the 6.5 bits over 6.1, says the::unwired: it's a full ROM wipe and flash deal. That means you'll need to backup and restore your personal data, not to mention re-install any apps on your reborn Touch Diamond 2. Of course, you gain the Windows Mobile Market, support for My Phone and get to call your device a Windows Phone, not a Windows Mobile handset. Surely that's worth the backup and restore effort, no?
You'll need your phone's IMEI number for the update and you can find the download on the HTC Europe support site. I see that HTC also has Windows Mobile 6.5 there for the Snap and Touch Pro 2 ready and waiting. See Europe? We haven't forgotten about you! :)

Crime and Gender
***** and Laub's Life-course theory suggests that social bonds deter crime, especially when those ***** involve a high degree of personal investment. For example, an individual who is heavily involved in workplace committees *****d family life would possess strong ties ***** preclude committing *****s. Moreover, Sampson and Laub's ***** acknowledges the ways social bonds evolve over time to explain why criminal behavior may emerge at certain times in a person's life. S*****mpson ***** Laub posit turning points as markers of changing social bonds. A divorce, moving to a new community, or meeting a ***** friend c*****n each be turning points that alter social bonding. If bonding streng*****ns, criminal behavior ***** be deterred. If the bonding weakens then the individual may ***** more prone ***** ***** crime. Trajectories are also based on the changes in social bonding patterns. A person growing up in an impoverished community with weak familial ***** may be more likely to commit crimes th***** a ***** from a financially and socially stable environment. The Sampson and Laub Life-course *****eory can explain the gender gap in crime. Males and females may experience different ***** points and trajectories. ***** same turning point ***** be construed ********** for males versus fe*****. For example, joining a gang would be a powerful turning point but one ***** might result in greater male versus *****male criminality. Males may ***** be more pressured by peers to join gangs and ***** gang-related crime in order to susta***** ***** deviant social network. Males and females might also experience different ***** due ***** their differential parental and peer social bonding.
Opportunity theories of crime explain why boys are exposed to a ***** num*****r of opportunities to commit *****. One potential reason ***** boys are exposed ***** a greater number ***** opportunities to commit crime is ***** different methods of social *****. Family ties and nurturing behaviors ***** discouraged as being stereotypically feminine expressions, whereas deviant behaviors are encouraged as being expressions of masculinity. In other words, gender norms determine opportunities for crime. Another reason why boys ***** be exposed ***** more ***** to commit crime is related to *****style habits and routine *****.

i appreciate any information on the topic
If you try to sbf with the 5.6.890 it will fail and you will probably break your bootloader as the files have changed with the update and there is no "real" way back as of yet...BUT...
Q9Nap has helped out
" if you've actually flashed the 5.7.906 leak and need to fxz your device, the stock 5.6.890 fxz will fail becuase there are some components that cannot be reverted. here's a package of 5.7.906 fxz components you can drop in to your 5.6.890 fxz folder or zip so you can flash with rsdlite:
Hope it helps
Hold on... Will flashing these through AP Fastboot put me on 5.7.906? I'm unable to flash a .zip leak though stock recovery. It fails when "flashing BP", bricks me, and I must FXZ to 5.6.890 to get it up and running again.
Here's a video showing what happens when I try to flash 5.7.894 (have only tried this since it can be 5.6.890 FXZ'd over).
You should only flash the package i made if you're trying to get back to 5.6.890 from 5.7.906. If you're on 5.7.894, you should still be able to flash the stock 5.6.890 fxz without any issues. Not sure why you're getting the error on bp; as long as you're using an unmodified 5.7.894 leak and stock recovery it should work fine. I'd try flashing 5.6.890 with rsdlite as it flashes all possible partitions; pete's moto-fastboot method doesn't flash everything.

IATA insists that ICAO's upcoming 37th Assembly must adopt a global framework for reducing emissions from aviation which can then be endorsed by the United Nations this year if the industry is to meet targets.
Secretary general Giovanni Bisnignani, speaking today at the Aviation and Environment Summit in Geneva, stressed the importance for ICAO to "deliver an inclusive solution" to address the impact of aviation on climate change ahead of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP16 summit.
The COP16 summit in Cancun, Mexico, is set to take place in late November and early December.
"[The Assembly] is the best opportunity for governments to endorse the industry's position," says Bisignani. He describes the UNFCCC's previous COP15 summit in Copenhagen as an "enormous mess" for failing to produce a global framework, but signals optimism following the recent change in leadership at the UNFCCC, which he says has "opened a new phase".
New UNFCCC executive secretary Christiana Figueres has "strongly supported our efforts", says Bisignani, adding that the approach to COP16 "will be completely different" from the approach leading up to COP15.
The urgency behind the need for ICAO to produce a global framework at its assembly in Montreal on 28 September is also stressed by John Byerly, deputy assistant secretary of state for transportation affairs at the US Department of State.
"Failure is not an option. If we don't reach a consensus [at ICAO] it will be absolute chaos," says Byerly. "I've got my fingers and toes crossed that we will manage to pull off a success at ICAO, but it's going to be difficult."
Bisignani accuses governments of "using the environment as an excuse for post-recession fund-raising" and is strongly encouraging regulators to help the aviation industry meet its carbon dioxide reduction targets.

The incidence of Type I diabetes has not increased but shifted to a younger age at diagnosis in the 0–34 years group in Sweden 1983 to 1998
Aims/hypothesis. To analyse the incidence of Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in the 0–34 years age group in Sweden 1983–1998.
Methods. Incidence and cumulative incidence per 100 000 and Poisson regression analysis of age-period effects was carried out using 11 751 cases from two nation-wide prospective registers.
Results. Incidence (95%-CI) was 21.4 (20.8–21.9) in men and 17.1 (16.6–17.5) in women between 0 and 34 years of age. In boys aged 0–14 and girls aged 0–12 years the incidence increased over time, but it tended to decrease at older age groups, especially in men. Average cumulative incidence at 35 years was 748 in men and 598 in women. Cumulative incidence in men was rather stable during four 4-year periods (736, 732, 762, 756), while in women it varied more (592, 542, 617, 631). In males aged 0–34 years, the incidence did not vary between the 4-year periods (p=0.63), but time changes among the 3-year age groups differed (p<0.001). In females the incidence between the periods varied (p<0.001), being lower in 1987–1990 compared to 1983–1986, but time changes in the age groups did not differ (p=0.08). For both sexes median age at diagnosis was higher in 1983–1986 than in 1995–1998 (p<0.001) (15.0 and 12.5 years in males; 11.9 and 10.4 in females, respectively).
Conclusion/interpretation. During a 16-year period the incidence of Type I diabetes did not increase in the 0–34 years age group in Sweden, while median age at diagnosis decreased. A shift to younger age at diagnosis seems to explain the increasing incidence of childhood Type I diabetes.

First 100 Guests Will Receive A Zaxby's Fanatic Pack of FREE Dealz For A Year*
HERMITAGE, Tenn. — It's a grand opening celebration for the new Zaxby's location in Hermitage, and everyone is invited! ROC Solid Foods, LLC licensees Lee Oliver and Bonnie Ryan will open the doors to Hermitage's first Zaxby's restaurant Monday. A Southeast favorite for chicken fingers and wings, the new restaurant is located at 4115 Lebanon Pike and will operate 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
To celebrate the official grand opening this Monday, October 14, the first 100 guests in line will receive a Zaxby's Fanatic Pack with 52 FREE Dealz from Zaxby's. Each card is valid for one week, for the dates specified.* Zaxby's new Fanatic Pack of Free Dealz will include menu favorites like a free Meal Deal, a free Milkshake, a free Zappetizer, and more. The grand opening celebration will feature an appearance by Zax Kidz Club mascot, LZ, balloons for kids, and menu sampling for guests.
"We are excited to be a part of the Hermitage community and can't wait to see everyone on grand opening day to celebrate with us!" said Oliver, who, with Ryan, currently owns the Lebanon, Tenn., Zaxby's location. "It's important to us to build longstanding partnerships and be a part of the community we serve. We are looking forward to beginning those relationships in Hermitage."
The new 3,800-square-foot location will seat 90 in Zaxby's unique design — a bright, open interior décor complemented by custom vintage prints and school memorabilia. Zaxby's also offers drive-thru services to meet the needs of customers on the go.
"Zaxby's has built its reputation and loyal fan following by providing a fantastic experience, excellent service and great-tasting food, and we plan to carry on that tradition with Zaxby's fans in Hermitage," said Oliver, who believes the restaurant — from the atmosphere to the service — will exceed community expectations. "We've assembled a great group of team members who will deliver on the Zaxby's mission to 'consistently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time,'" said Oliver.
The new location will be the second for Davidson County, and the 58th for the Volunteer State. Zaxby's currently operates more than 585 locations in 13 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
An alternative to fast food, Zaxby's offers prepared-at-order chicken fingers, wings, sandwiches and salads. Zaxby's most popular items are its hand-breaded Chicken Fingerz and Traditional or Boneless Wings, smothered in a choice of nine signature sauces with names like Wimpy, Tongue Torch, Nuclear and Insane.
The menu also offers innovative Zappetizers like Tater Chips, Spicy Fried Mushrooms and Fried White Cheddar Bites, as well as a variety of Party Platterz perfect for any tailgating, family gathering or special occasion where flavor cravers come together to enjoy great food and good times.
Zaxby's offers three salads, or Zalads: The House, The Blue and The Caesar. All of Zaxby's Zalads offer more chicken, unique ingredients, such as French-fried onions, fresh veggies and juicy tomatoes, and are larger than most salads offered elsewhere. Each is prepared with your choice of chicken, three kinds of lettuce and a variety of craveable toppings. Zalads are not assembled until your order is placed, versus being pre-made and stored in a cooler.
As a sweet treat for fans, Zaxby's offers a new line of premium milkshakes, including the popular Birthday Cake and Banana Pudding Milkshakes and the new Chocolate Cookie Milkshake. They are rich and creamy, hand-blended, topped with whipped cream and are almost impossible to resist.
Don't forget to join the Zaxby's grand opening celebration this Monday, October 14, starting at 10:30 a.m.!

Sweet Alyssa awarded me with the Honest Scrap award! Her and her fam are too cute and you should check out her blog if you don't already!
The Honest Scrap award comes with a few rules. First, you have to tell your readers ten things about you that they may not know, but are true. Second, you have to tag 10 people with the award. Third, let all the people you've tagged know that they've gotten it. And finally, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you.
So here goes....
1. Sometimes I drive through street lights and don't remember what color they were. I feel like I didn't even look...but yet, I had to of.
2. I usually only wash my hair twice a week. It's so thick and it doesn't really get oily. However, during the summer I wash it more because I'm outside more.
3. I may be going to Cabo again this year and the thought of that REALLY excites me.
4. I'm certain I have the smartest dog ever. Hubby and I really do treat him like a child. We wipe his butt when he comes in from outside (his allergy meds cause this). If he wants water and we are in our bedroom, he walks up to the shower. He if he wants water and we are in the kitchen or living room, he goes and looks at the sink. He sits in the same chair in the dining room, everyday, and watches and waits for us to get home. When we are in the shower, he sits on the rug waiting on the water to turn off then he gets up. He does like the shower and if you open the door and invite him in, he will walk right in. Hubby picked out a name for a female dog if Elton ever gets a sister, Anna Belle. He also likes to sunbathe..
5. I HATE to be hot more than anything. I ONLY like it when I'm laying out. Other than that, I feel as though I'm a crabby beotch because of it. When hubby and I get in the car, I immediately start yelling for cold air. It's sad...and of course it's abnormally hot already for this time of the year.
6. Hubby was going to propose on top of the Empire State Building but when we got up there, it was SO windy we could barely stand!!! There was also a large group of tourists from another country. After the ESB we went to Tavern on the Green. We had a carriage ride before dinner and then for dessert a cake came out that read "Will you marry me?" ... he planned this all on his own when we we decided to take a summer vacation to NYC.
7. I have an addiction to cake plates. I simply can't help it. I don't buy expensive ones, but I do have some that were wedding gifts. If I see a cute one though, I buy it. I like to have options.
8. I loved high school. So many people I talk to hated it but not me. There was just something about our town, school etc.. I think most of my friends feel the same way. I definitely played harder than I worked but I don't regret a thing and I'd probably agree to do it over again.
9. Speaking of schools, I ALWAYS said I'd never go to the University of Arkansas. My bestie wanted to go but since we lived in Texas, I said I wanted to go to Texas (this was elementary & middle school). I'm glad I went to Arkansas though. Red is much prettier than burnt orange (no offense to you Longhorns). Oh, and I met my hubby the 2nd week of college :) 7 years ago in September. Good thing I went to Arkansas. Oh, and I LOVED it!
10. I'm getting a new wedding ring :)
I give this award to all my wonderful bloggy friends who would like to post an Honest Scrap post! It was fun :)
I hope you all are having a WONDERFUL weekend!!! Hubby & I hung at the pool all day. Tonight we have a wedding! It will be fun..and HOT! More soon!!
xoxo ~ Megan
