Friday I'm in Love......

Finally, it's Friday! I thought this day would never come. Isn't it funny how the short weeks tend to feel like the longest! UGH!

Matthew is still sick. His fever finally broke but he still feels awful. He did go to work today for the first time since Monday. Not sure if he'll make it through the day. He said he still feels awful. I guess we'll see how things go. My boss was sick the week of Christmas in the same fashion. Gotta love the winter illnesses. I guess it's a really good thing I got a flu shot early in the season. Didn't have much of a choice in the matter. Perhaps I'll get them from now on because I actually enjoy the fact that I'm not sick!

Matthew and I were supposed to go out this evening with his brother and sister-in-law. At this point, I think we're unfortunately going to cancel those plans due to the fact that Matthew's still very sick. The last place he needs to be is a bar, no matter how much I really wanted to go (we were going to Saddle Ridge I think). Oh well, just not meant to be! His health is more important than any night out.

So listening to the Daddy Drag Dash this morning on Y108 was quite a hoot. I really wish I could have been there for it because it was probably hysterical to watch! They made them dress up and put on make up and sing Hannah Montana... Ah the crazy contests people come up with. That concert is tonight, Pittsburgh is going to be a disasterous mess! I can't imagine how completely INSANE it will be at Mellon Arena tonight. Glad I'm not going!

I scheduled my 3D Ultrasound yesterday. I wanted to have it done prior to the baby shower so I'll have all the pictures to display there. It's going to be on February 5th at 11am. I'm so excited! I can't wait!!! It's only a month away. I'm glad I called early, they fill up slots fast. We're going to InSight Imaging. I've heard great things about the place and it seemed to be the best price in the best location. I hope Arabella cooperates with the people and gives us a great view of what we're getting only a few weeks later.

Time sure seems to be flying. I can't believe I'm already into six months. According to my countdown timer on the website, I just crossed over 28 weeks! Can you believe it! It seems like only a month ago I was finally telling people. There's just so many things to do to get ready for Arabella's arrival. I'm hoping to get the baby's room into good shape quickly so Matthew can paint and we can really start to arrange it. I'm sure I'll want to rearrange it at least 20 times between now and then.

Matthew and I watched The Celebrity Apprentice last night on NBC. I was expecting it to be a complete bomb but surprisingly it was a little better than I thought. It started a bit slow but Gene Simmons really made the show with comments and random acts. I hope he stays on, he'll make for great TV. The preview for next week show that he apparently insults Ivaka Trump but no one knows WHAT he said. I can only imagine! Trace didn't really have a big role on the show this week but sometimes that happens. Of course, sometimes it's better to stay out of the spotlight so people don't start wanting you fired! I guess it's just time to wait until next week to see what happens. Hopefully it gets good! Sometimes it takes a week or two to get things rolling!

Well, I have to go do a few things. Happy Friday people!!!

Thursday Already!

Wow! It's hard to believe this week is almost over! It seems to just have flown by in warped speed! Last night was a waste of an evening. Matthew is very, very sick. I think he has the flu! He's had a temperature all day and can't keep anything down. I feel so bad for him. I tried to be as helpful as I could last night while avoiding him in hopes to not catch whatever he has if it's contagious! The poor guy's just miserable! He was doing a little better this morning, but not much. He still has a fever and doesn't feel well. Hopefully if he gets up and moving he might start to feel a little better. There's not much you can do when you're sick. Thankfully I haven't had any problems so far (knock on wood) and hopefully it'll stay that way.

So this week has started the season of reality programming. I don't mind, I actually like some of them. Tuesday I watched the premier of The Biggest Loser. It wasn't bad but I don't like the couple's and no team thing. We'll see how it plays out over the course of the week. Last night The Power of Ten and Deal or No Deal returned. They weren't too bad for first shows of the season.

Tonight is the Apprentice. I've been looking forward to it for months! Trace Adkins is on the show so it should prove to be something interesting. It's also featuring Gene Simmons... need I say more? Hopefully it doesn't bomb! The critics are expecting it to be really bad, but I think it'll be kind of funny!

Tomorrow 1 vs 100 returns. Matthew loved that show! I swear he needs to go on one of those trivia shows. He knows so much stupid random knowledge. We sit and watch them and he usually knows all the answers. Some of it is just plain scary too! I heard that the Brain Bus for Jeopardy is coming to the area, perhaps I'll make Matthew go try out for the show. I think he'd do well. It's all in the luck of the categories. Rumor has it they are keeping the show Duel that was on over the Christmas holiday. We loved it so I'm hoping they keep it. If they do I think I'll get him to sign up for that because I know he'd really kick butt in it! If you didn't watch the week long experience. It was a very interesting and unique trivia show! I totally loved it! We were hooked from day one!

Only a few more days until the first playoff game. I'm kinda bummed we can't go. If it wasn't for the baby, Matthew and I would have tried like crazy to find tickets for the game (And knowing me I would have came up with a few). Oh well, just wasn't meant to be. I'm sure they are extremely expensive too! I wouldn't care though, it's the experience that matters most!

I can't wait until our baby is old enough to start going to major events and things. We're planning to show her everything we can. Museums, Movies, Theatre, Travel, anything and everything we can get our hands on! Of course Monster Trucks, Wrestling and sports will also be high in the list of experiences as well!

I know Matthew can't wait until she's old enough to play trivia games. It'll be a constant battle to see how long before she can actually beat him! I know he'll love every minute of it too! Thankfully my love for board games, we have a nice selection (though I'm sure we'll have to add many many more) to start with. We have a lot of trivia games too so I'm sure he'll have a lot of fuel to start trivia training with little Arabella.

My house is still in a bit of disarray from the holidays. We've got all the decorations downstairs and put away but unfortunately I haven't done anything else with the apartment. I'm not even sure when I will drag the other decorations for normal use out of the basement. It could be weeks. Between now and then I may raid Michael's or Walmart for some new goodies. I always want new goodies!!!

I had a great idea while we were putting up Christmas decorations this year to have Matthew put nails around the archways of our doors so I can buy different garlands for different times of the year and put around there so I need to get some now. I'm not sure what I want to put there but I'll know it when I see it!

Well it's about time to go to work. Later.
