It was a wonderful day today.
The only thing that would have made it better would be a comfy chair on the balcony for me to sit in.
You couldn't ask for nicer weather.

1) Beautiful fall weather:

3) My new haircut

Spaghetti Squash & Whole Foods

She did it!
Cheyenne got her driver's License!
I'm so proud of her! :)

Here she is...

Today has been a busy day. I went in for my second ultrasound. Evan weighs 3 pounds 15 ounces. He's a very healthy boy. I got some really good pictures of his little face. He's so handsome!

I was in the Arden area so I went to Whole Foods to buy a spaghetti squash. I had never even heard of this vegetable until I saw Emeril cook one on Planet Green. I thought it was some specialty veggie that only rich people ate so the only place that would sell such a thing would be Whole Foods. I pick one out; take it to the register; that bad boy cost me $5.50! Yeah, for a stupid little vegetable! But I figured, I'm pregnant, I need to eat healthily, what's five bucks?

What the heck's a spaghetti squash? Here's one...

I still needed to buy pepper. We've been out for some time and it's one of those things you never remember until you need it. While at Whole foods, I saw 8 different types of organic pepper. None of them costing under $6.00. I think pepper is one of those things that should be fairly cheap so I decide to go to Trader Joe's on my way home; pick up the pepper and get some pumpkin butter while I'm there.

So there I am, in the check out line at Trader Joe's... when what do I see? I whole bunch of spaghetti squash in a bin with a sign that says, "Any squash - $2.49!"

WTF? I just got ripped off! Imagine my frustration! The cashier asks me how I am. I say, "I'm pretty mad actually. I just paid more than twice that for a squash from Whole Foods." He says, "Yeah, why do you think they call it Whole Paycheck?"

You can kiss my ass Whole Foods.

As Long As We Don't Buy Him A Leotard...

♫I decided that you are the him for me!
Oh boy!♫

I love milestones. Today is the 300th day of our relationship. This morning I woke up and said to myself, "I love it when Joe puts my coffee cups on the bottom shelf! I love him so much!" That man makes me so happy.

We're going up to Placerville tomorrow, I'm looking forward to that. Trevor's going to show me some of his Karate moves. The school canceled Art so he's going to do gymnastics anyway. I think as long as we don't buy him a leotard, it's safe. Who knows, maybe he'll be the next Kerri Strug?

I think I'll go to Trader Joe's today and buy some of that sparkling pear juice. It's in a wine shaped bottle so it'll fit in my picnic basket. A Saturday picnic sounds like fun and I know Trevor likes to do fancy little things like that. I'll bring some sandwiches and fruit. We can all just kick back on a blanket and catch up on the week. That will be nice.

The house thing is moving along quite well. We have an expected move in date of November 30th. That means we might be staying with the parents for a little while. I'd like to bring Evan home and have a comfortable place for us, especially because I'm going to breastfeed. It's not that Joe's mom and dad's isn't comfortable, but it's hectic with so many boys running around, (and I'm very modest about them not seeing my breasts.)

I'm supposed to get a glucose screen by next week but you can't eat anything sweet for 12 hours before the test. I haven't been able to do it, all of my cereals are sugary. I guess Monday, I could boil some eggs. I would be very surprised to find out that I have gestational diabetes. It's the only disorder I'm not paranoid about getting.

I downloaded some new music yesterday. Beyonce's little sister, Solange, has a new album out. It's good, she sounds like a modern Diana Ross. I like it, it makes me want to dance. Ooh, speaking of dance, wouldn't it be cute if Trevor learned how to dance? I think I'll look to see if Placerville has any kids dancing lessons. As long as we don't buy him a leotard, It's not gay.
