Babies.. again..

Posted on by

My cousin is pregnant. She is the first one of us steps to get pregnant. (I was born in 84, she was 85, her sister is 86, my sister is 87.. we were close growing up) She’s practically married with out all that legal or planning stuff. Her boyfriend is wonderful. He really fits into our family. We have no problem claiming him. They just moved back from the UP back down to troll land and closer to family.

I’m crazy happy for them. They are definitely the one of us that are most prepared and adult for this type of thing. Her sister is married, but is working on being married. I’m working on school and waiting on the baby thing – working on getting to married part (how about next Thursday?) My sister.. well as much as i love her… she’s no where near ready to grow up.. and that’s a good thing… she is only 21… she doesn’t have to be a real grown up yet.

Part of me is jealous. Logically I want a few more years to go by, to be done with school, for other J to have a job he loves or at least enjoys more, I want to be married and have a good job. I want to be mostly out of debt and working on paying off student loans. I kinda hate not being around for all this stuff. My best cousin being pregnant, my friends getting married, These are the few times I get homesick.

I love where things are right now.

WTF?

So we went and looked at the first video… and his discription.. and still confused.. Care to enlighten us?

You’re listening to a song and video taping yourself listening to that song? Any meaning to this or are you just falling asleep on camera? Cause i know it was like 4am when you did this.

My camera died. One day it worked fine… and the next the lens wouldnt come out …. it wouldnt show past pictures… it just laughed at us.

so we got a new camera

and then there was this… http://www.myaccessorymall.com/upload/product/top_l100.jpg

what is wrong with this picture?

Anyway… So … packing yeah… i hate packing.

Tomorrow i meet with my clinical supervisor, Wednesday with my host teacher, then sign the lease… because the city needs a copy of the first page of the lease in order to give us useful things like power, water and … other necessities. Thursday is more packing and the gym, hopefully going to see the host teacher again and help set up the room. Friday is all packing and moving . Saturday… moving, all day.

Monday is day one.

bears

(10:55:05 AM) the other J: if this is true, I have the utmost respect for the poster:
(10:55:10 AM) the other J: “I’ve actually had a black bear charge me in Washington State. I already knew about standing still and was sure to avert my eyes. The bear actually stopped the charge a few feet away from me and sniffed me. I didn’t wave my arms as the article suggested, nor did I speak in a monotone. I remained motionless and quiet. The bear grunted a few times, bounced it’s front legs up and down a few times, but eventually left without ever touching me.”
(10:55:46 AM) the other J: I would have been a bulbering, urine soaked messed
(10:55:47 AM) the other J: mess*
(10:56:15 AM) J: ew
(10:57:02 AM) the other J: I’m sorry hon, a bear charges me, I can’t guarantee bladder or emotion control
(10:57:10 AM) J: lol
(10:57:27 AM) the other J: Though, I will do my best to remain stoic, odds are I’m grabbing you, throwing you at the bear and running
(10:57:46 AM) J: which is when i kick you in your bad knee
(10:58:00 AM) the other J: So… it’s a race to see who can disable who first?
(10:58:38 AM) J: exactly

This will end up with us both in pain on the ground being mauled by a bear

mutant babies and two week notices

Ok, A.) Who emails a 2.5mb photo. Jesus.
B.) When we have a “favorite” photo of our kid, lets try to pick one where the kid doesn’t look like a mutant.

I love him.

So… been hiking, but computer power supply crapped out and is on order so i havent felt like posting any pictures.

July 17th was our anniversary. We took a three day weekend in which there was hiking, pizza, icecream, car fixing and a sprained ankle. Hiking was awesome. As was a guilt free- diet free- weekend. My car no longer sounds like it will explode when you go over 30mph. J – sprained his ankle comming down from the mountain. Daniel Boon Scout Trail Amazingly not on the ladders or the ropes before or after the ladders. This meant saturday we stayed in bed watching deadliest catch and were only mildly prodcutive. Sunday, we were a little more productive – went and got groceries… but it was a nice lazy weekend.

We saw X-files this friday. I thought that had been put off for another weekend because we had to go to the gym and i had to work this saturday. Nope… we ended up showering early and then he told me to get dressed – because i was goign to put on Pjs… So late night x-files was great. No hiking this weekend.

as of July 31st I’m officially done with my job. I start student teaching August 11th. We move August 7-10th. Think of how much fun that will be. At least i get a week off of work to pack and move before havign to go back to work… even better i get labor day off.

I’m hungry
