My Life Thus Far

Bull Honky

My computer is running so slow, if it weren't one of my
only connections to the outside world, I'd throw it over
the balcony into Puget Sound. I've ran every possible
virus/malware/spyware scan I can find and it's still slow
for no apparent reason. I don't pay $100 a month for cable
internet to spend 12 minutes waiting for a page to load.
That's just bull honky! We've had more virus problems in
the last month than we've had since we've had a computer
(almost 4 years). Okay, I'm done complaining now. I just
needed to get that out.

It's a little after 8:30am and my entire day is open
before me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.
There's always something to do around the house that needs
doing desperately (but I never feel like doing those
things) and it's supposed to be a semi-nice day outside,
so I could find something to do outside. Right now it's
overcast and chilly, but the sun is trying to peek out, so
if it stays this way (and warms up a little) I'll probably
take Kiki out for a walk or something. I've had to modify
my plans of being active, but I'm still trying to work in
something. I figure a walk or a trip to the park is better
than nothing, even if sweating it out on the elliptical is
what I'd really rather be doing.

As far as the pregnancy goes, I think I've got things
under control now. As much as I can control them. Being
more active AND resting is helping with the PSD, although
the pain never goes away entirely. Zantac is helping with
the heartburn. I've started taking it twice a day just
because. It's easier to prevent it than to anticipate when
I'll get it or try to treat it when it happens. I've kept
my weight gain under control. So far I've gained 16
pounds, which is okay since I was already overweight to
begin with :( I hate the idea of gaining weight, but this
is for a good cause. I'd already let myself go before I
got pregnant, so I can't blame all of it on the baby.

Last night while watching the Academy Awards, Snookums and
I discussed names for the first time this pregnancy.
Tentatively, we've agreed on Sean Kingston-Daniel for a
boy and Alexandria Whitney for a girl. But, they're not
perfect as far as I'm concerned. Snookums insists on
something a little quirky and "unique" as he puts it. I
just want it to sound good. Sean Kingston I like. Daniel,
Jason insists on having because it's his dad's name. Okay,
so that makes it unique. Alexandria, Jason likes and we'd
call her Lexi, but Lexi and Whitney don't sound good
together. Sometimes when Kiki does something I'll call her
Kiki Simone and that doesn't sound funny, but Lexi Whitney
sounds funny and when you add Allen to the end of it, it
sounds like we picked names out of a hat and that's what
we came out with. Although I like Alexandria Whitney
Allen. It's very princess-like. Decisions, decisions. The
more I say Lexi Whitney in my head, the less funny it
sounds, but initially, it doesn't work at all. I've still
got 3 months to decide. Because, ultimately it's my
choice. I get the final say :)

Kiki just finished her breakfast. Cinnamon oatmeal, milk
and Cheetos (they were a compromise for eating the
oatmeal). She's been getting more and more finicky about
what she eats. She's finally growing up. Ahhhhh. I'd
better find something for her to do before she takes to
tormenting cats or destroying the house. Ciao.
