Still no baby

But, we still have a week to go. I'm off to the doctor again tomorrow ... maybe he'll say something like "WOW, Rachel ... you're dilated to a ten with absolutely no painful contractions what so ever ... just push a little bit and we'll have this baby right here! No hospital stay!" ... Hah, I crack myself up with my wishful thinking.

So, here's things that I've been thinking about lately:

I totally haven't taken a picture in forever ... so there goes THAT resolution. But, in my defense, I know that when I'm in a big hurry on my way to the hospital when this baby FINALLY wants to come out that I'll forget the camera. So, it's already packed up. And if it's packed up then I can't very well use it now can I?

I really really really want to change my layout on this thing. I want a cool blog ... a cool blog with my very own cool banner and such. Think someone can make that happen for me? That'd be great.

I think I'm going to have to stop lending out my books. Or ... at least the books that have been signed by the Great Jen Lancaster. Our friend's cat took a bite out of the cover of Such a Pretty Fat. I took the news with grace ... smiled the entire time ... and then explained to them that she'd be back in May and they should go and buy me another one and get her to sign that one too. We'll see if that request happens. They were going to try and email her a picture of the book and a 100 dollars to send me another one. Either way would be cool with me. I mean, I can't be too mad ... Link has chewed up some of my books too. But, you know ... not the good ones that are signed by awesome authors and all.

Shhh

I know that I'm guilty of this as well ... therefore, as a new years resolution in May, I'm going to try to stop.

Stop what? Stop the Gossip!

I think that as a twenty-three, nearly twenty-four year old, I think that it's time to move on from the petty gossip.

It's starting to be a big turn off when I get together with a group of people and all that they (we) can do is talk about other people.

It's not even worth it. It's not very Christian like, and so I've decided to try not to do it anymore.

It's going to be hard, it's going to be really hard in fact, but hopefully it can be something that I can mature with and grow out of.

What about everyone else? Want to jump on the bandwagon with me?

What a cry baby!

Aaron called me out the other day: "Rachel, you have been crying a lot lately."

And it really got me thinking, "holy crap he's right!"

I cry about freaking everything!! I don't really even know why! Yes, I have watched sad things on television and stuff like that but seriously it's too much. I cry over songs on the radio, I cry over dog commercials, I cry over The Biggest Loser, I cried when they talked about "Beaches" today on Entertainment Tonight.

Aaron said that he was watching a Dr. Phil show where a girl was talking about how much she cried, and he said that it was something having to do with her hormones.

What does this mean for me? I can only imagine that when I get pregnant if someone cuts me off in traffic I'm going to start bawling!

Weird Weird Weird.

Any thoughts? Do you guys cry as much as I do?

Wow ... You are a dick!

Sunday afternoon Aaron and I went over to his "friend's" house. I was hoping that Aaron would find some nice guys to hang out with and then I'd be able to make friends with their girlfriends/wives etc.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how good this plan is going to go since I can't STAND one of his friends.

He is the biggest asshole I think anyone could ever meet. It really sucks because he does have a lot of the same interests as Aaron and I do ... but I just can't get over how much of a dick he is.

Basically, this guy moved down here from somewhere up North with his girlfriend of six years. He moved here because of his job ... she didn't have one at first. Although, she's right to finally get a job since he apparently can't get over that issue. He has this whole "shtick" that goes something like "raise your hand if you have a job ... if you don't, then you don't get a say in the matter."

He said this quite a few times while I was there. Along with, "Man, I can't believe that you are married Aaron, that's probably the stupidest thing you could have done. Now you will NEVER have money ..." blah blah blah. Another of his favorite phrases is "Who's paycheck is completely spent?!"

So finally I called him out on it:

Me: "How is your paycheck spent already?"
Asshole: "Well, it's like this, When you have a person that lives with you but doesn't WORK then you have to pay for EVERYTHING."
Me: "Oh no, You can't use that excuse because first of all, your girlfriend DOES work, and second of all, I DON'T and Aaron has plenty of money left over at the end of the month."
Asshole: "Well I have a house payment"
Me: "Not my fault you bought a house"
Asshole: "Two car payments"
Me: "It's not my fault that you decided to buy two new cars if you don't have enough money to pay for it.
Asshole: "Credit Card bills ... THAT beautiful new television"
Me: Nope, can't use that ... we've already paid off our credit card bills and our brand new television"
Asshole: (starting to get uncomfortable) "Come on Doug .. Aaron ... back me up"
Other guys: Oh no way ... this is NOT something that I'm going to get into. You've really crossed the line dude.

Eventually, once he realized that I wasn't going to back down he finally started being nice. But I don't really think that I am going to be too excited about hanging out with him anytime soon. No freaking way!

In other news: For some reason I can't sign up for my math class ... Does SHSU hate me!?

Something more personal

I can not let myself only use this blogger for television reviews.

Here is some random thoughts:

-Why do I have to make things that are enjoyable more of a job than anything else? (i.e. Reading 60 books last year; Writing television reviews for every television show I watch)

-When I get out of school ... I'll be really old. (Profession: Teacher, Location: School)

-Fact: Having sex doesn't happen as much when you are married. (But at least I'm not living in Sin any longer)

-How come I always pick the shitty doctors?

-School is hard. Writing papers are harder. Grammar is hardest.

-I love living in Spring, but I hate not having friends that live here with me.

-Sometimes ... I do not want to get out of bed ... at all.

-I think that I am an "over-eater", I eat and eat and eat ... even when I'm not hungry ... because that super full, disgusting, "I want to throw up because I'm so full" feeling ... kind of feels good.

-Monday, otherwise known as my birthday, starts a new year and a new life. Until Tuesday ...

-Sometimes I think that my hair is trying to suffocate me.

-When I think about Babies ... my stomach does a back flip.

-I can not wait to get pregnant.

-I pray every night that I can get pregnant one day.

-I love Aaron's family.

-The semester is halfway over with. It's gone by fast. Is this what my life is going to be like from now on?

-I want a house!
