I just had to...

This woman frightens the begeezuz out of me...

I'm not one to stand on a political soapbox or anything... but stupid is as stupid does...  (does that even make sense?)... anyway... but really?  She might be our next president?  Even SHE thinks McCain is about to die... so really, when voting this year, it's between Obama and Palin.  WTF?  So, because I see a doctor every 4 weeks, I must be qualified to be the chief of cardio-thoracic surgery, right?  I really don't know who to vote for this year and this chick is not doing McCain any favors.  Ralph Nader is looking better and better every day.

God help us all!

Belly 22 weeks

Not a whole lot of exciting things to talk about today... other than I feel like I get bigger and bigger every minute. Not complaining.... just stating the facts. This weekend was fairly action packed. Friday I bowled in my normal bowling league... BIG MISTAKE. I tweaked my back and I think that will be it for me this season. We had to bowl again on Saturday (to make up for some other game we missed) and it did not help the cause. I ended up just calling it in and my scores showed. I think I got an 86 in one game... sweet... my average is around 140... YIKES! I guess I can cross bowling off of my list of fun things to do while growing a new little person.

After bowling on Saturday, we went to a friend's 1st birthday party. It was good to reconnect with some friends I haven't seen in awhile. What happened to the summers where it felt like we had a BBQ at the park every other week? Sheesh! Times flies!!!

Sunday we were confined to our master suite, mainly due to the fact that the rest of the house (2 bedrooms and a living room) is all in the kitchen and garage. We are getting our wood floors re-sanded, re-stained, and re-varnished. We did make it out of the house for some breakfast and some chores in the backyard... but that was about it. Then we watched the CHARGERS make the RAIDERS their bitch! ha ha.... Even though I'm not hugely into football (other than LOVING UofM football), I freaking HATE the RAIDERS. Not because of any of their football skills... but because of their ugly attitudes and self-righteousness... ha ha IDIOTS... you got what you deserved! I bet those MO-FO's were already celebrating at half-time. Ha ha... you guys suck.

**side note... as I am typing this I just drooled on myself... WTF? I know we pregnant people produce more saliva...but come on... **

OK, so the Pièce de résistance... my belly pic for 22 weeks. Dude... I look like I'm about to give birth.

The little dude is doing quite a bit of moving around, which I love the feeling of. It sort of tickles... and it's so cool to feel the movement and to imagine what in the hell he's doing in there... "... look ma, there's your kidney.... look ma, there's your other kidney..."

Tones leaves for V-land again... I just got used to him being around too... but I think this trip will fly by b/c there is so much work to be done to get ready for the baby... I think he's purposely planning these trips to get out of all the work .

That's it for now kids. Now go play.

Happy first day of Fall!

Not that it feels like fall quite yet... but according to the ol' calendar... IT'S OFFICIALLY FALL!!!! Break out your pumpkins and sweaters baby... ohhhh yeah!

To celebrate, Tones and I went to Palm Springs this weekend... mainly to just GET AWAY FROM IT ALL... mostly his job... oh and mine I guess... but he works way too much... so it was good for him to just chill.

and he's pretty good at it I must say... ha ha. We went to a place with a "lazy river" (my favorite) and it was so relaxing! This place is definitely a place we will come back to once the munchkin is here... it's very family friendly and they have this little beach area that walks right into the kiddy pool. I'm talking real sand... so it's just like being at the beach without the riptides and syringes. Oh, and if you add in the poolside...eerrrr... I mean beach side drinks and snacks, cabanas equipped with fans, and clean restrooms, why would anyone go to the REAL beach?

I may just have to start a new blog to review my favorite lazy rivers around the country. Ha ha. I've only been to 3 so far, but here they are in order of greatness.

1) Arizona Grand Resort (formerly known as Pointe South Mountain Resort) in Phoenix, Arizona

This place is great when the kids are a bit older (old enough to not have to be watched every second)... because they have SO MUCH for the kids to do on their own. Fun for the adults is NOT lacking. Poolside service is AWESOME (the fishbowl drink is great) and the river is extra long. Hotel rooms are nice. Overall... great.

2) Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Palm Springs, California

Awesome for smaller kids up to about the age needed for #1. Like I said, they have a "kiddy" area with a sandy beach and kiddy pool. They are also allowed on the lazy river with an adult... Rooms are nice. Poolside service is not the fastest, but the "do it yourself" bar/snacks are not that far away from the pool area... so it's feasible to send the short straw person over instead.

3) The Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort in Phoenix, Arizona

The river was super short and uneventful. I was not impressed at all. I went around a few times and went back into the room. I was at this hotel for a Creative Escape in '06 & '07, so my focus was elsewhere ( to be fair), but I did have a free day to spend at the pool and I opted out after checking out the river.
