Things I don't get

1.  How sayings, phrases, and words get to be so popular.  Words like: presh, totes, or lawl.  I know lawl is supposed to be "lol", but why say it?   Or even the saying YOLO.  It just makes me think of the new Lonely Island song.


2.  Couples that go on dates and sit on their phones the ENTIRE time.  I've seen this more than once!  We went out to eat the other day and the couple in the booth next to us came, sat down, whipped out their phones, ordered in record time, and said probably about five things to each other.  AND they even finished before us!  I fear for our children and their future dates... or worse: blind dates!

3.  Toilets that suck so hard they splash you back.  You know what I'm talking about.  The kind they put in tiny stalls so you have to race against the toilet flush to get out of the bathroom door before you get splashed by the water.


4.  This article about parents being fined for their kids being bullies.  It would be good for SOME parents to know that their kid is a bully, but there are quite a bit of bad parents out there that would probably make their kids pretty miserable and want to bully more if they were fined for their child.  Although, I do understand that they aren't just handing them out like candy, but still...

I couldn't resist.

5.  Captcha images for blog comments.  'Nuff said.  Referring back to #1, shouldn't it be 'nough said?


6.  Bikers who don't wear helmets.  This bugs even more now that Nick bikes a lot.  Why do cyclists bike on busy roads, or even roads in general, and not wear helmets?  Did they not learn anything in school?

Michael Scott knows where it's at.

Life doesn't suck.

See?  It doesn't suck.

I have had very little motivation, inspiration, and time to blog lately.  Okay, maybe not time because obviously I'm doing it now, but you get the idea.

Our weekends keep getting filled with plans and to-dos, Nick has 2304982 gigs and/or rehearsals a week, and my do-before-baby-gets-here list just keeps getting bigger and bigger.  I'm trying to catch up on blogs, be social, and yet make sure Nick and I get to spend time together because we will go days with just the passing kiss before/after sleeping and it gets old and tiresome at times.

But, I'm not here to vent.  I don't need to vent because life doesn't suck.  Nothing is wrong with our life.  We're doing incredibly well.  Nick is getting more and more opportunities with work, music, and all of his adventurous hobbies.  Baby Ellie is doing very well and she does like to show it at all hours in the day.  I'm still able to do all of the things I want to do, work, and still waste my free time on silly games, websites, and blogging.

You know what, there are quite a few more things that are making life not so terrible these days.


1.  Frisbee golf.  We discovered our love of frisbee golf.  Seriously, it is such a fun activity.  You are enjoying being outside while socializing with people you, hopefully, like to be around.  And, best of all, I can do this sport while pregnant!  Big bonus right there.


2.  Family visits.  My in-laws came over for Mother's Day weekend and we got to spend it at my favorite place in the world.

Lake Samish.  Ahh...

3.  Breakfast food.  Nick and I have a favorite must-go place to get the BEST breakfast food in town.  It's called Little Cheerful and while it's a little hippy podunk restaraunt, it seriously has some pretty amazing home-cookin'.  The pancakes are my favorite.  Somehow they get them to be crispy on the outside and incredibly fluffy on the inside.  Mmmm, I want some now.


4.  Baby kicks.  I've just started noticing her kicks outside of my stomach.  It really freaked me out the first time.  It was pretty much like a sci-fi movie with some creature inside of your stomach.  Very sentimental, I know.  But, it's pretty fun to be able to see her move around more and more.

Not related at all, but I love it.

5.  Shopping.  I don't think I have to explain this because we all know how therapeutic a few new outfits can be. 


6.  New movies.  I went on a trailer rampage the other day and now I am extremely excited for some new movies to come out.  This is the End, Hangover III, Elysium, and Kick Ass II.
