Stupid Styrofoam Cups

Last night I had this monster headache. Ya know. The kind where it is actually pounding in your head and you can’t stand the sound of even your own thoughts. Well, because I am pregnant the only thing I can take for headaches is Tylenol. Tylenol sucks. It does not give me any relief at all. The only thing that gives me even temporary relief is caffeine. So my wonderful husband went out of his way to stop at Jack in the Box to get me some much desired curly fries and to pick me up a soda that would help relieve my headache. I was so glad when he arrived at our house with the soda in hand. It was huge! It was like one of those 44 oz cokes. Of course I would never drink that much but whatever. I took a total of 5 sips of my soda and the bottom of my Styrofoam cup fell out. SODA EVERYWHERE!! It was all over the carpet. It took 6 towels and a lot of scrubbing with Resolve to get it all out. As you can imagine I was thrilled. Not only was my headache not gone it was worse from the fumes of the Resolve. James had stepped out for a second so it was all up to me to get the stains out. They came out, but it took FOREVER!!! So in a nutshell I HATE STYROFOAM CUPS!!!!!

The Gender of Our Baby!!

OK! So Monday I went to the doctor to get my early pregnancy screening. It is done at 12 weeks and they test for downs and other chromosomal defects. They test your blood and do an ultrasound. Then about 3 weeks later they do another blood test and compare everything. So far all of our tests have come back great. We now just have to wait for that last blood test. Even this early in the pregnancy at these visits they can sometimes tell you the sex of your baby. Ever since we found out that we were pregnant James and I had decided that we were going to have a girl. Even though we had no evidence of a girl we just assumed that is what we were having. We had a name picked out and were ready to hear the news. Then it happened. I was at the doctor and got the news. It's a BOY! Imagine my shock. I questioned the doctor. I wanted to know how sure he was and how he could possibly know that it was a boy. Well he proceeded by zooming in on the part of the baby that makes it being a boy a dead give away. I was convinced. Then when I left I felt really bad about being SLIGHTLY shocked. An hour later I was thrilled. I had decided that this was going to be great. A little boy!! WOO HOO!!! Later that evening when James arrived home I delivered the great news. His response.... REALLY??? That was exactly what I said to the doc. REALLY??? He was a little shocked too. Then, just like me about an hour later he was thrilled. It took him all of 15 minutes to get on the Polo Baby website and pick out about $250 worth of boy clothes. (It could be more but thank goodness he didn't actually buy it... YET) So there you have it. We are having a baby boy and we can't wait to meet him.

Vacation

OK! So I know James has blogged about our vacation like 5 times by now, but I still have to do my blog. We had a GREAT and lazy time. We woke up everyday to our mountain view and had breakfast in bed and stayed there for an hour or two. Then we got ready for our day and headed down the mountain to the lake areas. We grabbed lunch each day and ate it on the beach or atop the mountains. I love picnics. We spent the afternoons hiking and hanging out. Then it was off to dinner. One night we took a small yacht cruise around the lake and ate lobster and chicken. YUM! The last night we went to a Shakespeare festival on the lake and had dinner there. It was really fun. The we had to go home, but not before we gambled a little. James came out on top and I lost just as much as he won. So we came out even. Not too bad. We had a really great trip and can't wait to plan our next one!!

Who eats more sweets? Hmmm... That's a close one, but I have to lean toward James

Who said I love you first? Me

Who is taller? James

Who can sing better? James by far. Have you ever heard me sing. Yuck!

Who is smarter? It depends on what kind of smarts you are referring to. He is smarter at real life things and I am more book smart. ( aka nerdy)

Who does the laundry? Yeah. That would be me, but it's because I have more time than he does.

Who pays the bills? James does. I guess he doesn't trust my math skills. Did anyone tell him I was a math major?

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're looking at the bed - I do. Any side I sleep on is the right side. The other side is just wrong.

Who mows the lawn? Hmmmm.... well James usually does, but I have done it more than him this year. I told him I didn't wanna do it anymore so he is gonna do it from here on out.

Who cooks dinner? That would be me. Unless I am not feeling great then James will make my soup for me, but he will complain while doing it.
Who drives?James does. I like to nap in the car. I am usually asleep if the ride is 20 minutes or longer.

Who is more stubborn? That is an impossible question because we are both impossible. However, this trophy probably goes more to me. SUCK!

Who kissed who first? James tried to kiss me once and I told him no. OOPS. Then he tried again a little later and I let him kiss me.

Who asked who out first? We never really went out. We were friends and then we just started making out. Romantic I know!

Who proposed? He did. Took me to the Melting Pot for my birthday and then took me to a mountain called the Pointe. You can see the entire city of phoenix from there. We walked to the top and were the only people up there (it was restricted). He proposed up there. I thought he was joking at first, but quickly learned that he was serious. Leave it to me to ruin another nice moment.

Who has more siblings? I do. i have 1 brother, 2 half-brothers, 1 step-sister, and 1 step-brother.
He only has 1 brother and 1 sister. I totally kicked his butt on this question.

Who wears the pants? James. Hello - He is the one in retail. Any pants I wear he picked out.

Lonely in Dallas!!!

So James left Dallas on Saturday to go to New Jersey for a work thing. He will not return until Thursday evening. YUCK!! I know you are all thinking BIG DEAL! You should be use to him traveling by now Lisa. Well I am not. He has not traveled basically this whole year. I got use to him being around. Plus I have been really needy and clingy to him lately. Which I am sure he is glad to have a break from. It wouldn't be so bad except that I really can't even talk to him. He is up and at a meeting before I wake up and stays in those meeting ALL DAY LONG. He even has to eat his lunch in those meetings. Poor Guy. After his long day of meetings he has to go to dinner with these people where they basically have another mini meeting. Then he gets back to his hotel around 11:30 our time. At that time I am getting in bed. So he calls and we say goodnight. Today the first time I got to even say hello to him was 5:10 p.m. The next time I talk to him will be close to midnight to say goodnight. Thank goodness it is almost over!!!! COME HOME JAMES!!!!!

My hilarious brother and his causes!!!

Ok. So my brother is so funny. He is a youth minister and is always doing fund raisers and different things to help out the community. His newest thing is trying to raise money to purchase backpacks and supplies for kids that can't afford it. He created this hilarious video to play at his church to try and raise money for the cause. It is the funniest thing. So, if you want to watch my brother and nephews in their goofy video here is the link. I suggest you watch it. My brother is such a dork.
