Bird for Sale

Poor, poor Sydney. She isn't getting the attention she needs, so she's resorted to squeeling like a banshee. It's trying on my hormonal nerves. And in the end Baby > Bird. Sydney on Craigslist I feel like a jerk. I never wanted to be that young couple who gets a pet and realizes it's too much. But apparently we're dog people.

Onto brighter news I went to Texas! It was wonderful, although I was sad I didn't get to see any friends because I was too busy enjoying family. It was the same as I remember it, hot and full of monster sized bugs. But the first night there I woke up for a few minutes at sunrise and almost cried. The birds in Colorado that sing in the morning just aren't the same as the ones I grew up listening to. And while in Texas I went to my favorite cosmetics store and spoiled myself. Yes, Lush. I got like 6 samples of crap I wanted to try and bought some random stuff too. I bought myself two massage bars, for stretch marks and back rubs (since the main ingredient in all their massage bars is cocoa butter), a shampoo bar that smells yummy, a trial sample of my favorite lotion for five bucks, and a bath melt. Funny story to go with that bath melt. I payed about six bucks for a bath melt, so when I got out of the tub I realized that's a six dollar bath I only spent a few minutes in. So naturally I offered the water to my dad, the only other person awake. A few minutes later he slipped, and broke the faucet to the bathtub. I thought to myself great, I killed my father. After going on a grand Morris adventure to turn the water off, we doctored up my dad and he was good to go. My mom said no amount of Ambien could've kept her asleep when she heard that crash. She thought it was me falling in the tub and naturally maternal instincts freak out at that point. lol

And I found a new love. It's called Sympathy for the Skin. It's main ingredient is BANANAS!!! Literally, the fruit...It makes my skin oober soft and it smells pretty yummy. And it adds a natural shine to wherever I put it because of all the beneficial oils.

I also discovered another love! Lush has a breast firming cream called Lovely Jubblies. Now before criticizing that tiny people don't have stretch marks or saggy breasts, I will defend myself by saying I wanted to experience the smell. My mom scoffed when I said I had stretch marks, so let me add that just because I'm tiny does not make me perfect or immune to natural disasters. The smell is like frolicking through a field of flowers. It's glorious, even Travis told me I smelled good. As far as firming goes, I have no idea if it actually works because I am immune to THAT particular issue thanks to my youth and constant vigilance.

I still haven't experienced "morning sickness" and I am quite happy. Unless I get criticized for any reason whatsoever in any aspect of my life. I am a walking time bomb, so if you try to push my buttons they will be pushed and I will push back and then make you feel like a jerk for making the pregnant woman cry. You should feel bad, I feel special right now. And my mom says, it's because I am. Luckily, Travis has yet to push me to anger for any reason so I think he may be immune because he's so awesome. I'm also greatful I don't eat this much normally, it's time consuming and I feel mildly disgusting when I stuff my face 24/7. YAY FOR BABIES!!! I love babies, and I love mine! Can't wait to see on Wednesday when I get my 8 week ultrasound of the little squirt. I'm stoked.
