Friday Fragments 18 June 2010

TGIF y'all! I'm fragmenting two in a row!! Woohoo! If you'd like to join Mrs 4444 for Friday Fragments, click her name or click the pretty button :)

** Its already Friday morning... And here I am, tying to fragment my week.... Lets see how this goes... ;)


** The hubby and I went to register on Saturday and Sunday last weekend. We started out at a Walmart about an hour away from here. We figured they'd be less picked-over than the Walmarts around here... Well, we got there only to find out that this particular Walmart doesnt have the scanners/machines to let people register INSIDE the store. The nearest one, well, hubby had given up as soon as they said we don't do it here... So, we didn't register at Wallyworld. The clerk told us that we could do it online. Well, duh. But I want to see, touch, feel stuff that I'm registering for. UGh
Our second stop on Saturday was Target. Had a good experience there. But didn't register for a whole lot. Most important was a little Space-saver High chair... =)
Third and final stop was BabiesRUs on Sunday. We scanned everything under the sun there! LOL We really had a good time and played and felt how soft stuff was and all that jazz.


** After registering, we went to supper to celebrate hubby's birthday. We stopped at a Japanese hibachi steakhouse. Never been there before. We sat with strangers. One single guy sat beside me, then there was a family of 5 which consisted of mom, dad, son, grandma and grandpa. We ate, we laughed at the cook, which was one of the best we've ever had, and then it was time to pay and leave. Somehow, us being in the Army came in conversation (which it always does somehow, whether by uniform or hubby's haircut or stance gives it away). I went to the restroom and so did the mom of the family. When I came back, hubby says, "the guy on the end paid for ours." (the dad of the family) =O WOW. Seriously? Really? Who does that these days? But, how awesome! I'm still somewhat shocked. When we left, they told us congratulations and thanks for serving. (they also knew we are expecting) Coolest birthday gift ever, right? =)


** The pup, Rigsby, got a haircut. Poor dog cant get a symmetrical cut EVER. So then we are left with a jacked-up cut that we try to trim to make it look better... Its always interesting. I wish I had a picture of hubby trying to trim the dog's hair! LOL


** My dad calls me last night. I hardly talk to mom and dad. Not because I dont want to, but I just forget to call from being busy and they forget too. Anyway. He calls to ask me where I bought his wallet that I gave him. I say, "when was the last time I bought you a wallet? I cant even remember!" He says, "oh, about 3 or 4 YEARS ago." REALLY? Seriously? Dad, I have no clue where I got your wallet! LOL He's a funny guy... But he was dead serious!


** The bug finally kicked for hubby (daddy) on Tuesday. I was so glad he finally got to feel the baby kick! It was a sweet moment. We sat and waited for a minute or so, and then he kicked and hubby says "was that it?!" and I looked up, smiled and just about screamed with excitement, "YES!" Then we sat for another couple minutes and he never moved again. Its too funny, I think he knows when its daddy's hand on mommy's tummy... He sits still! ;)


** My car has developed an oil leak... I just dont get how a 2004, Mazda 3 can have an oil leak. I expect it from an old clunker, but seriously? Oh well, it IS on its 3rd transmission, has been in two accidents and hesitates when idling and feels like it will just cut off! I'd say its a LEMON... And of course, we OWN it so we dont have payments, and its not under warranty. I'm just ready to get a new one! LOL but NOT a Mazda3!


** Hubby is participating in his first Duathalon tomorrow morning. Two of the three parts of a Triathalon. Its a 5K run and then a 15 mile cycling route. I'm excited for him! He's had his bike for about a month and a half and absolutely LOVES cycling!! I'll try to update on this next week to let you know how he finished!


** Ok. I think that's all for now. Its about time to get ready for work. I hope everybody enjoys their weekend!

First Friday Fragments in FOREVER!!

** I never blog anymore. But I've decided to do a Friday Fragments today. I'm starting on this on Tuesday just because I wont take the time to do it all on Friday morning, I'm sure. Alot has been going on since my last Friday Fragments... So here's a little view in our lives lately...


** I'M GONNA HAVE A BABY!!! =D


** The above is the biggest announcement for all (5) of my blogger buddies, some of which who already know! I'm due October 17th. And its a BOY! The hubby and I are super duper excited!


** I realized that I never posted a picture of my shotglass holder on here. I blogged about it way back in October! Its an old glass bottle coke crate, hung on the wall. Perfect sized slots for shotglasses. So here it is:

The states represented are: NC, FL, NY, TX, GA, VT, MA, ME, NH. We also have one from Ireland, Canada and Cozumel. We've visited all the states and Ireland, but not Canada and Cozumel. The latter two were given to us.


**My fragments are struggling as I sit here on FRIDAY MORNING to finish them off and submit! LOL


**My friend Jamie tagged me in her fragments though! YAY. And she too is one of the bestest friends a girl could have! I miss you! even though we live 1 mile from each other! Jamie and I went to Paplys last Saturday and met Terry Lee! Very fun place and an even more fun person to meet! :) I came home with bookends for a friend of mine's nursery. It looks like these bookends were made specifically for her new baby boy!! So excited for her, especially since we're due the same week! ;)


**One day this week, I was sitting at the table eating supper. Hubby was already finished and sitting in the living room. He looks over, smiles real big and says, "You're so pregnant." :) He was grinning from ear to ear. I looked down at my growing belly and said to him, "Yep, I sure am!" It was so sweet and cute.


**We got the Bug's nursery bedding in the mail yesterday! I am so friggin' excited about it! Now if we could just get the crib stripped of paint, sanded and repainted, we'd be doing good!! lol


**I have decided to not put any of my pregnancy complaints on my FB anymore... All I get is unwanted advice like, "oh, get as much sleep now, b/c you'll never sleep again!" and "my babies screamed all the time" and "it only gets worse". Thanks... Granted, some of this advice comes from people I havent seen or talked to since high school (9yrs ago). I do however have a few friends who give encouragement and I'm thankful for them! 


**The hubby and I plan to go register for baby stuff this weekend! We have a baby shower to be at in about 32 days in SC, so we're having to do this a little early! Very excited but hopefully I dont get completely overwhelmed. I also hope the hubby  helps in making the decisions on what to get and doesnt just say, "i dont know!" ;) Wish us luck!


**I think that is all for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Now to go comment on some other Fragmenters, if I remember how! LOL
