Email blogging

So I have set up my blog to accept email posts ... which means I could very well keep up with everything much better ... in fact this weekend I figured out lots of stuff that should keep my goals in the forefront ...

I resigned up for Jott.com ... I used it all the time when it was a free service to send myself email reminders of things I wanted to do ... it was great in the car during traffic to call in and set up all the reminders ... well now it is a pay service and I figured out the 3 something a month was worth it ... not only can I rattle off all the things I want to remember to do ... I can add things to my google calendar by calling into jott and I can even change my Facebook status ... pretty cool ...

I also figured out how to snap a photo on my phone and upload it right to facebook ... which is a great feature ... the more time I take to figure out how all my technology can work for me the more efficient I am becoming ...

7 Weeks

Still really don't feel pregnant most of the time ... my tummy is looking different for sure ... it is sticking out a bit and a little firmer ...

Heartburn is gone for the most part ... and really no nausea ...

I am having the most vivid dreams ... last night it was about someone giving us this really really long mailbox to mount by our front door ... very odd indeed ...

My Favorite In Living Color Clip

So back in college In Living Color was pretty popular ... on some random VHS tape I had a sketch that no matter what was going on ... if Kris and I watched it we were instantly in a better mood ... no even just better ... in a fantastic mood!!!

I have tired many times to figure out what season it was on ... so I could get the DVD of it ... today I found it on YouTube ... I am so happy about this find and I can't wait till Kris gets home from work so she too can giggle as much as I did ...

6 Weeks

To be honest I don't even feel pregnant ... which is a good thing ... the horrible heartburn that alerted me to the possibility of being pregnant is gone ... I'm not overly hungry ... maybe the only thing is I get really super thirsty ... so I have been carrying my water bottle everywhere ...

1/2 way through the first trimester ... woohoo

Eyes Wide Open

You know those times in life where stuff starts to hit you ... and you wonder "were my eyes shut to everything around me?" ... weird things start making sense ... off handed comments mean more ... you feel foolish and silly ... were you a follower when you thought you were a leader? ...

Lately weird stuff has just been happening to me ... conversations with people ... run-ins with strangers ... comments from family members ... observations from co-workers ... all completing this puzzle that I don't like ... and the more I think about it and brood over it ... the more upset and disenchanted I get with where I am right now and how I got here ...

A part of me got lost somewhere ... and I don't like what filled its place ...

But how do you return to who you are ...

Do you have to start from scratch ... is it even possible ... can you screw stuff up so badly that there is no going back ...

I'm just at a loss ... an emptiness filled with confusions and anger and disappointment in myself ... and how I let my environment effect how I live my life ...

Finally!!!!

I did it ... I updated my CafePress store ...

I still gotta go through it and make sure there are no mistakes ... and I still have some designs to upload ... but basically it is finished and working ...

So you can find it at http://www.cafepress.com/ItsLiz

wooohooooo ... I can't believe how long it took me but I am oh so happy I got it done ... it has been on my To Do list for like a year now ...

woohoo cross that baby off!!!

The Dolldrums

The morning is creeping along yet flying by at the same time ... I have tons of work to do and yet just can't get a jump on it ... I'm not even goofing around ...

I think I just need some sort of break ... our family so badly needs to get away and rejuvenate and we just aren't able to ... it just sucks ... even the little trip to NC and Williamsburg we are trying to plan is beyond our budget ... but it is the first family reunion since my grandmother passed away and we really want to be there ... D actually really enjoys going ... we have fun there ... and totally enjoy ourselves ...

I'm just in such a funk and not sure what I need to do to get out of it ...
