So What Wednesday

So What Wednesday

This week, I'm saying so what if...

  • This is only the second week of October and I already have as many blog posts this month as I did for the entire month of September.  Thanks 31 Days of Gratefulness!
  • I did exactly what I said I couldn't do last Wednesday:  cut my captain out of my diet.  Only Sunday thru Thursday.  He's back on Fridays.  Maybe I will lose an extra pound or two.
  • My pumpkin funnel cake plans were derailed due to a threat of rain.  It actually turned out to be a really nice day, which pissed me off even more.
  • We made up for the pumpkin funnel cake by going to Cracker Barrel and getting a Pumpkin Custard and Gingersnap dessert.  It did its job.
  • I found out you can shop the Cracker Barrel online.  This is very dangerous.  Check out some of the loot I got the last time I was there.

  • I am ridiculously excited about the Fall decorations I got at the Family Dollar store.  Adorable little scarecrows for $1?  The coolest stuffed owls for $3?  Total awesomeness!
  • I put my first Christmas decoration out.  What?  I got it at the Cracker Barrel and didn't have anywhere else to put it!  (I'm also not so secretly excited about Christmas and am ready to put my tree up already)
  • I thought last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy sucked even more than the first week because I already knew McSteamy died which made it even more sad.  Total Bummer.
  • I was actually talking to the TV like the judges could hear me on The Voice.  I think they did a good job this time around with picking the right winners. 
  • I really want to get some foundation ribbons tattooed onto my wrists but I think my husband might divorce me if I get any more.  Pink for Breast Cancer, Red for Heart Disease??  They are for a good cause!

  • Baby Girl woke up at 4am this morning screaming for...no reason.  She fell back to sleep pretty easily but interrupted sleep sucks so Momma Grizz is tired.
  • I am continuing the countdown for Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2.  37 days to go. I am RIDICULOUSLY excited (and sad because I know the saga is ending).

 What are you saying so what to this week?

    And seriously loving the voice right now.
    I'm going to pretend I didn't read that part about shopping the Cracker Barrel online.

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,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
