Its another one of those reflection posts!

2009 was a good year for me. Way more highs than lows. I met the man I’m going to spend my life with, we have a beautiful house and we’re expecting our first little baby boy. I dont know how much better it could get?

The one thing I did accomplish in 2009, was ridding my life of a negative people . If you’re always around negativity, that’s all you’re going to attract. I sound ridiculous, I know. lol. Whatever. Anyway. Surround yourself with people and things that are a positive influence, and good things will come.

I’m not one to really make resolutions but I’d like to set some goals for 2010. I want to be the best mother and gf/wife that I can. I want to make a conscious effort everyday, especially in regards to my relationship. I dont want the whole thing to get lost in the new baby frenzy!

I want to take as many pictures as I can! I have minimal pictures from 2009! How sad! I dont even have the no camera excuse! I want to document everything and then keep it organized on my laptop.

I want to try to get my ass back in school. A new baby, a house, working full time and school? I know. A little ambitious, but not impossible. I’m hoping that once the baby is a couple of months old and we have a little routine going on, I’ll be able to do it. Cut back on work, maybe? We’ll see. Its on my list!

I’m excited for 2010. What a difference a year makes, right? Last NYE, I was running around the city with a bunch of friends and my own bottles of champagne. This year, I’m on the couch, trying desperately to keep my eyes open until midnight!

I wish you all health and happiness in 2010. Have a great new year and BE SAFE!

We ate ourselves into a coma last night and ended up passing out before 10PM. Such an old couple. 7AM this morning, we were UP and READY TO RUN A MARATHON! Today was the day we were scheduled to pick up the TV we bought and the recliner I got Lover for Christmas. We’re the worst people to be together, $$ wise. We picked up the TV and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our bank has one! And I wanted one! Its so fun! And now I want to tear open all of the Christmas gifts. 2 more days, 2 more days!

So I’m 29 weeks today!! 11 more weeks!! Yesterday morning, as I was getting dressed, I noticed my belly was looking a little low. I saw my mom a little later in the morning and she said the same thing. When do you usually start to drop? I’ve been looking online, but the early I’ve seen is 33 weeks. I know I know, everyyyy pregnancy is different. But he still has 78 days! I DO feel like he’s going to come a little early though. But not now. The room isn’t even close to being finished. lol. Plus he’d be so little! Today we are going to be being bums on the couch until I go into work. I have to do one late shift a week and I decided to make it today because I left early yesterday and have off til Monday.

Please excuse all of the cat hair. Black is a hard color to wear when the cats want to share your face and boobs.

Back to the Today show. I’ve always hated Kathie Lee Gifford but I’ve come to love her. How could you not love two women who booze on national TV at 10AM?

Outside a broad downright rots the laughing luxury.

I will not get sick. I will not get sick. I will not get sick.

Bleahhhhh. I’ve been fighting off some bullshit for a couple of weeks now. Runny and stuffy nose, sore throat and a little cough. I’m willing it away though. Its not going to happen. I dont have the time to get sick! After the holiday, comes baby prep and I need all of my days and all of my energy! So it’s been nothing but orange juice and Emergen-C for me. Anddd a couple of caramel frappachinos. I cant resist. I work next to a Starbucks and live half a mile from one with a drive through. No will power!

I want to wrap Christmas gifts today. I’m stalking Amazon and VS to see when they’re going to arrive. I knew I should have just bought everything in the store. I need to make sure I’m here to intercept the boxes though. Lover mentioned that he wanted to get a recliner before the baby got here, so that he could nap with him in it. I thought I was good and threw him off by telling him that they were way too expensive and I didnt want to spend $700 on it. I ended up getting him one and the damn furniture store mailed a postcard to me saying THANK YOU FOR YOUR FURNITURE PURCHASE!!!! Of course he got to the mail before I did and now….BOO. RUINED! I was so sad! I really wanted to go in there and yell at them! I made sure they knew it was a gift and that I didnt want him to know. I cant bring myself to do it though. I’m losing my bitchiness!!! :O

Anyway, I got him another big gift and few smaller ones, so hopefully he’ll be a little surprised. I doubt it though, as I’m pretty sure he reads both my site and Twitter. HI BABE. GET BACK TO WORK.

Oh well. Maybe he’ll be surprised next Christmas! I’m sure our budget for each other will be much smaller and the baby will be getting more than he could imagine!

Speaking of baby, Jeanine sent me a huge box filled with the cutest baby stuff!! I love all of it! Thank you so much mama!! I’ll add pictures once my old makeup is washed off and I’m not in bed.

Okay, I need to get up, get my ass in gear and maybe accomplish something before my Dr appt at 3:30. I cant wait to ask about my poor abdominal muscles that are killing me and the fact that the baby’s toes are tangled in my ribs. My stomach and ribs feel like I’ve been working out all week long. I cant do anything! Thats exaggeration. I dont WANT to do anything!

That whole one post a day didnt last long. It never does! haha. IM A FAILURE.

When you’ve got nothing else, post pictures, right? Here is my big 27 week belly. I’ll be 27 weeks tomorrow, but close enough, right?

Tattoo still intact. Half my belly button is holding on for dear life! I passed my GTT with flying colors, but found out I’m anemic. Womp womp. So now I’m eating lots of iron rich foods and drinking nothing but orange juice. Hopefully it helps and I dont have to go on supplements. Based on how my ribs feel, I’m predicting the baby will be a soccer player and very into karate. My mother is predicting a very active, crazy child. I dont disagree….the poor baby has two nutcases for parents.

We’re not making it to the City today. BOO. The weather was shitty this morning and Chris had to go arrest a 43 year old who gives booze to and sleeps with underage girls. Damn pedophiles always screwing up my plans!

I’m off. My mission of the day is to get our Christmas cards done. And to stop eating all these Reeses Cups!!

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how Amanda Knox was convicted of murder! There was no evidence that placed her at the crime scene. She was questioned for 30 hours. Who knows what I would do or say after being accused of murdering my roommate in a foreign country…after 30 hours or police questioning!

I dont know anything about Italy’s court system or their laws or anything and I wont pretend to. Maybe they don’t believe in “innocent until proven guilty”. This girl would have NEVER been convicted in the US.

What are your thoughts?

So our tree is up. Just not decorated yet. SUNDAY!!!!! Because we’ll BOTH BE HOME!!!!!! Imagine that?? Maybe by then our personalized stockings will be here and I can hang those too.

Lol. I almost forgot already!!!

We got our Christmas tree tonight! I was excited to pick it out except I was freezing, so that made the decision quicky and relatively easy. Haha. We’re going to put it up tonight and decorate it tomorrow. We went through my Xmas ornaments and I have a lot of Barbies and Wizard of Oz. Yay Hallmark.

I also got our Xmas cards today. That’s my Friday project. Its not to early to send them out, right? I don’t know the rules about these things.

This time next night we’ll be in NYC for date night. Dinner and the Roc Center tree plus Saks, Bergdorf, Macys and Bloomingdales windows!!!

Are you sick of it already??!

That I am going to make December my Write a Blog Everyday month. It’s going to be painful, I know. How many times have I attempted this? 4 or 5. How many times have I succeeded? Big fat 0.
