First and foremost, if you're remotely interested in things of the two wheeled and motorized variety go check out my post today on Girlbike.com.

On to my 13!

You know what…I have nothing! I'm blank! Absolutely blank…so…

13 Completely Random Things About this Week

  1. I had my first doctor visit for the little munchkin this Monday.
  2. The lovely lady who took my blood is a very talented finder of veins, but I seem to have no veins so I got stuck three times and still didn't get enough blood for all the tests they run. Actually we might have established that I'm actually a zombie, because aside from having no veins and therefore no blood, I also have no pulse in my wrists. Which was good, because we finally managed to get some blood from one of those. I'll bet I'd be a vampire's worst nightmare. LOL
  3. The lab that my insurance has an agreement with just forgot to run the most important test. Despite the fact that the lovely lady I mentioned before wrote in BIG letters and highlighted "Do Progesterone First" at the top of the form.
  4. So today I got to go back again with my already bruised arms and get blood drawn again. Hopefully I'll hear back today on that.
  5. My son is playing Cars on Wii right now. He's very good at it. He's only two!
  6. His potty training is going smashingly! As long as he doesn't have a diaper on, he just goes and uses his potty. If he has a diaper or his little adorable toddler undies on (OMG they are cute) then he usually remembers to tell me.
  7. I have been frequenting the United Romance Writers Association's new website. Go check it out! It's beautiful!
  8. Speaking of websites. I need to do some work on mine. It needs a brief overhaul.
  9. I've got my work group's Christmas party tomorrow. That should be fun.
  10. Frontline is expensive!!! We had a flea situation crop up amongst the pet population in our household, and it had to be dealt with. I HATE FLEAS!!! So I went and got them all frontline. 50 bucks for all three pets!
  11. I still need to finish wrapping all our Christmas presents!
  12. I need a nap!
  13. I had to switch to maternity clothes this week, because even though I haven't gained any weight yet my tummy is distinctly rounder and the other jeans just weren't cutting it.

Nurses always have problems finding my veins, too. So, I feel for ya. :)

I need a nap and I'm not even pregnant. LOL!

I am possibly a zombie also. My blood pressure is too low for the automatic machines, but they never remember until after it tells them I am dead.

Happy TT

Yeah, I was in maternity pants long before maternity shirts, too. Especially with #1.

And I now put off blood tests; #1 ruined mine 'cause I had a lot of blood work done during my pregnancy and now I hate to give blood. Heck, I hate needles in general!

Yup, the flea stuff is pricey! Still better than scratching though.

As one biker to another, I like your Girlbike posts. :)

I have two TT13s this week:

Better decluttering through TT13

Congrats on your upcoming little bundle of joy, Lesley! :-) Good luck on the lab tests. As for maternity clothes--they're SO much cuter now than when I was pregnant.

I am so sorry about the progesterone (I read the follow up post). That must have been very upsetting for you. After all those punctured veins, too.

Frontline IS worth it since it actually does what it says it will. The cheaper things don't! The Flatland Almanack --Damozel (adorable animals)

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
