Let's play... catchup!

Wow. It's been a while since I blogged, but that only means that my hubby and I are talking more, and I have less to get off my chest. (Such as it is).

Let's see... to catch up.

Pirates 3 - Good movie. Don't expect too much, and you will be happily surprised. After-all movies are just entertainment. Period.

Spiderman 3 - Ditto from above. But, not as good as P3.

Baby update - Well, I'm about 23 weeks along. No, I'm not going to translate that into months (okay somewhere around 5 months). It's annoying enough to remember the weeks or months, I'm not trying to do both.

The baby is doing well. (no surprise considering my baby-making history). My belly is growing, but not as fast as the last few times. Which, is a good thing. I think that I've gained now a total of 9-10 pounds in 23 weeks. I like those numbers! I credit continuing my workout and boxing, although squash has suffered since Kris has been sick. The ultrasound was a bust when it came to finding out the gender. Oh well. Another surprise then! :)

Kids - The rugrats are growing like crazy. DD (almost 2) is finally in her own room. (She woke up constantly, thus her bed stayed in our room - why the heck should I actually get up to deal with her?) Last night was a rough night. She came looking for me at about 2:30AM. Yeah, she went downstairs (where I usually am, except at 2:30AM), so the moral of THAT story is to keep the gate up at the top of the stairs, so I can keep an ear out as to where she is. Would consider putting the gate on her own door, but that would make for a bad scene when prego me went to check on her at night, and forgot the gate was there! :)

Life - Life is crazy as always. People think I'm nuts for continuing Boxing at this stage of the pregnancy. Too bad. I love boxing. But, I wanted to pummel the bxing trainers girlfriend last time. Yeah... "How far along are you". "Wow, 5+ months! You've really gained." (Which I haven't). "I remember really popping during the last month. Before that, I really didn't have a belly." THAT is total BS. Sure Ms Skinny Stick, you had no trace of a pregnancy until the last month. I highly doubt it. The longer she talked, the better it sounded to work out my frustrations on the heavy bag. Can you guess who I pictured there? There are just some things you don't say - especially if you are a skinny stick, who can't remember even how to hit the damn bag! ARGH!

Anyway, life is good now, and I'm off to work. Hope your day is a good one.

Like a deer in the headlights

Yanno... when you just think that nobody is watching, then you find out that someone is! Wow, what an... odd?... feeling. I felt the same today when I grabbed lunch and went to read some of my regular blogs. I mean, some of these blogs are friends, but others are just some that I stumbled onto, and I find them entertaining. Maybe I even connect with how these people are going about in their lives. I don't ever expect that they are reading my blog. I mean.. okay I have a stat counter, but I don't look at it all the time.

But today, someone actually discussed something I posted about - (My gym compliment, the previous post). I went to read Dean's blog, and there he had quoted my blog, and talked about me. Hmm.. it feels a little... umm.. odd. Mostly because I blog for myself. I am not a writer, nor do I pretend to be. My blogs come from whatever is going on in my head, things that I just want to put out into the world. Nothing major, no ulterior motives. (The biggest ulterior motive is maybe so my better half knows what's going on with me) But, there's Dean discussing me, or rather my commentary. Huh.

I know, this may seem a little childish of me. Like when the teacher starts reading from your essay at the front of the class (no Dean, I don't see you as the teacher), your heart jumps, and you want to smile, and crawl under your seat all at once. Butterflies or something.

Anyway, I know, get over it Rella. I will. It's a fleeting thing. But, it's something. I know that I 'm not meant to be a writer... I can't handle the limelight... :)

See ya later
Rella........

(yes Kris, my name appearing on your blog doesn't count. We're best friends. I might be miffed if it wasn't there! :) ha ha!)

Noticed... in a good way???

Again, something else that I was hoping for has happened. I was at the gym the other day, and a total (older gentleman) stranger came over to me while I was doing a cool down stretch. He says that I've really come a long way since I started coming to the gym (10 months ago). I thanked him and said that yes, despite not feeling well last week, I came back and started working out again. He again said that I had come a really long way.

Hmm.. So, that begs the question - has he been watching me? Has he been pondering my situation? Has he wondered when he would say things to me... or, is it just a wierd, spur of the moment thing?

Who knows. But, at least someone has noticed.

It was a feel-good kind of day.

Hope all is well in your part of the world. Things are peachy keen here. Nothing exciting, just good. I'm bogged down with research to do for setting up a new website, and I have a shit-load of stuff to learn to have said-website transferred over to a new host.

Oy. But, good.
