Say My Name

This is my first link up with Running on Empty

Running on Empty

Where does your blog name come from?

I started this blog as a way to document my pregnancy.  I wanted a title that was catchy but something that was me.  Anyone who reads my blog knows that I'm a big Twilight fan.  I'm not the t-shirt wearing, tote bag carrying, crazy, obsessed kind of fan.  I do love the books and I do own all of the movies.  I have seen all of the movies in theater (except for the first one) and I will be seeing the last moving in theater in a few weeks.

It's kind of ironic because I saw the previews for the first movie and had no interest in seeing it.  My friends kept telling me to buy the books because they were sooo good but I had no interest.  Then I got laid off from work and had nothing better to do so I bought all four books.  I read all four books in four days.  I just couldn't put them down!

So then I had to see the first movie (that was the only one out at that point).  While the movie wasn't terrible, it wasn't great either.  I mean, none of the movies are great but I've watched them all, as a loyal fan should.

To the point...I got the title of my blog from the first Twilight movie.  Edward takes Bella to his house to meet his family for the first time and when she walks in, they can all smell her.  Rosaline says "Get a whiff of that.  Here comes the human."  And that's it. 

Once I had my daughter, I added 'the human has arrived' because I thought it was fitting.  When I get pregnant with my next baby, I will probably change it to "Here Comes the Human #2" or "Here Comes Another Human."  I haven't decided on that just yet.

This might be a good way to announce my pregnancy, though.  Change the title and see if anyone notices!

  3. I like the name its thought provoking. I have a dilemma on my hands I'm blogging under the banner of Charlie and Harrys Daddy. The problem part is we are expecting an Olivia or an Oliver this month. I'm not sure if just adding the name will make it too much of a long and drawn out title. Or I should do some clever play on words kind of thing (i feel a post coming on lol) sorry for the epic comment.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,

I'm Not Gonna Lie

Anyone who knows me know that I LOVE Christmas.  I love the decorations.  I love to decorate my own house and see all of the other cool decorations other people have.  There is a house down the street from us that always has more lights and decorations than I have ever seen in one yard.  It's a bit much but it's an attention grabber. I love the Christmas tree.  I love to get the tree out each year (yes we have a fake because I can't stand the needles) and I love to decorate it.  Growing up, our family would decorate the tree together with all kinds of ornaments that we had collected over the years.  I like to do themes for my trees.  Last year I did pink and silver in honor of the newest member of our family.  I'm really hoping to instill the tradition of decorating the tree with my kids. I love finding the perfect gifts for people and I love to watch their reactions when they open those gifts.  I generally wait until I have purchased ALL of my gifts, I sort them

A Few New Things...

First off, I have 15 followers!  I am so grateful to have more followers.  I can't even tell you how great it makes me feel to know that people want to read my blog.  Through all of the linking up I have been doing, I have 15 followers and I have found a TON of new blogs to read.  I am really enjoying reading them all every day!! In case you don't believe me.......................... I know 15 doesn't seem like a lot but it's a lot to me.  It means the world to me to have people interested in my life.  The second change is that I added a new page.  It's my Summer Bucket List .  I posted this list a little while ago but I know that I will forget about it so I added it as a page.  Now I can actually cross things off as I do them.  I have already crossed one thing off the list and I hope to cross them all off by the end of the Summer!  I guess the end of the Summer would be September 21st so I have until then.  And if I don't get them all crosse
