.....

Well, Antonio is back safe and sound in Sevilla. We had a great three weeks here in IN and did tons of stuff. I'm still in IN until the end of Sept. How does the time go by so quickly? Hard to believe it came and went. I took him to Chicago on Tues and he left on Wed. I am LOVING this cooler weather!

As far as I know baby is fine and I have not felt anything yet, but am only 15 weeks. Everyone says they can't believe how much I am showing for 15 weeks. That always makes me feel great.


That's the update for now! ta ta

"always"

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company, Proctor and Gamble, regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors' choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.



Dear Mr. Thatcher, I have been a loyal user of your 'Always' maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard Core or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F16 in my pants.

Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my time of the month is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills.' Isn't the human body amazing?

As Brand Manager in the Feminine-Hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customer's monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women.

The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants... Which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.'

Are you f------ kidding me? What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual smiling, laughing happiness, is possible during a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick freak, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory.

For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter is Wrong',

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that's a promise I will keep. Always. . .


Best,

panels

I am now the owner of panel jeans. How about them apples? 14 weeks and already huge! Sweet!

3 weeks almost gone

Holy crap we've been home for three weeks on Wed and A is already leaving. SOOOOOOOO sad and WAY too fast!!!!!!!!!!

2 years

Happy anniversary to me and mine. Two of the best years of my life! Te quiero Nene!

wowzers.

we have been non stop ever since we got home! above is a pic of my cousins and i and my hubs. it was my cousins graduation party and i could only stop by shortly because i had to scoot over to my high school ten year reunion. can you believe i graduated TEN years ago???????? it was good to see people and awkward to see others. i got cornered a few times with some people i didn't even know! listen peeps.......if i didn't talk to you in highschool i probably don't want to talk to you now! haha. no big surprises though. i was kind of disappointed. i was hoping someone would walk in weighing 300 lbs. or someone was ridiculously rich...but nope. everyone looks pretty much the same. wait til our twenty year!

a lot of people were rubbing my belly so i guess i'm showing! tomorrow marks 12 weeks!

a few posts for the price of one

1. Prodded

So, being pregnant is just asking to be prodded and poked at all times. I went to the doc before I left Spain and she's like " take of your bra I need to feel for lumps" whoa there. I should have told her to put on glasses beforehand because I might have poked her eyes out. (you know what I mean).........Oh well, she survived and so did I.

2. Godfather.

I think Antonio's uncle Manolo is the Godfather in Spain. He knows everyone and everything about everyone. He's a priest and it's unbelievable to watch him in action. We went to see him before we came to IN and he's like my pimp daddy. He's always travelling to Italy, Jerusalem, Turkey and he always buys me fabulous gifts. This time I got a nice leather wallet! THANKS! At least someone buys me gifts! ha. So, we went to have coffee with him and I swear every person that we walked by knew him. It's like they kiss his hand and worship the guy. Freaky! A is having some issues with his job so he's kind of looking for a new one and Manolo was like, " Here, let me call and you will have a new job in no time!" Amazing! When I got married and needed all my paperwork done usually you have to go to this building at like four am to wait in the line...not me! Manolo called " someone" and I had a man waiting there for me to escort me to the front of the line. YES!!!!!!!!! I swear he is the Godfather!

3. trip.

So, the flight was fine and Fetus Feese cooperated and I did not puke! Thank goodness. There was a point in the flight that the turbulence was so bad that Antonio, my cousin and I all immediately held hands. THATS how scary it was. Stomach...gone. Come back please! The landing was terrible too. UGH! Iberia stinks. So, the first night we stayed in Chicago w some friends and I ate some deep dish pizza. Gotta love that stuff.

4. bump

So, yesterday we're shopping and I walk in and the sales lady says, " If you're looking for kids merchandise it's in the basement. " hmmmmmmm. I guess that means I'm showing????????

peanut

Yes, the peanut is ours. We tried for a whopping five days.....

I can´t believe I am pregnant considering I´m still a virgin! bwah! It´s a miracle baby!!!


I´m rounding week 11 and lets just say it´s been a little rough. The nausea is what is killing me, but hopefully that will go away soon. I´m constantly thirsty and I can´t get enough water!

It´s a wild ride and I´m all buckled in!

Coming in February............

i'm too sexy for my shirt

yesterday my cousin and i were walking to the pool and this guy yelled down from a balcony...

" Look! it's Ms. World and Miss Universe."


Why thank you Mr.!!
