Avabella

Our little girl is going to be a diva with a 'tude. It's pretty inevitable I think. When I think of her all I see is pretty frills, unicorns and princesses. But I'm pretty sure the reality will be hissy fits, muddy tutus, and tormenting the dog with her big brother. When I see her future, I see

Precious handmade outfits by Mommy

With ridiculously big hair bows or flowers

Cute little tushies hidden by tutus

and glitter dances.

While I'm positive she will wear all of the handmade or store bought adorableness I've mentioned. I'm also pretty positive she will love the mud and outdoors just like her brother. She will hunt for bugs and play in whatever yuck she can find. She will ride on the four-wheeler and be a little rebel hellion with a dare-devil streak that will give me a heart attack. Our muddy little princess.

Add a bow and tutu... Pretty much sums it up.

A Pet Named Peeve

People who know me well and even those who don't, know that I get annoyed pretty easily. Here are my top irkers. I was inspired tonight when some of them had me doing the wrinkle-nose-and-squint-eyes face.

1. When the toilet paper faces in instead of out.

source - funny post that is spot on.

2. When there is a kink in the toilet paper roll and it makes a "thud thud thud" as you unroll it.

3. If the trash is full, do not keep piling crap on. What do you think is going to happen? A magic garbage fairy does not come by, remove the trash spilling over and put it in another bag. That's ME God damn it and I hate it! Be an adult and do it your damn self!

4. Even more teeth grinding... If the trash bag has been closed up some, DO NOT put garbage on the outside of the bag.

Nothing pisses me off more than if I have to touch someone else's garbage.

5. Chewing your food loud enough I can hear you. I don't care if it's crunchy, your nosed is stuffed up, the food is too hot, whatever. No excuses.
6. Leaving the sink nasty. This includes but is not limited to: hair, facial hair, toothpaste, spit, toilet paper, pools of water, band-aides, anything else you decide to put in or around the sink so others can see it.
7. Believe it or not the dinner table is not a place for crap. It's for food and family dinners. Not a storage for all the extra garbage or recycling that you're too lazy to take out. Or for that matter is it a place to put shit because you don't want to take the time to put it in it's proper place.

A place for everything and everything in its place. I love this saying. It means nothing in this house. I suppose that's it for now. My home has been a rant inducing mess lately.

I refuse to admit I could be a contributing factor.

Unleash the Kraken!!!

Warning: Way too much information about a pregnant lady and pee-pee.

My last post was about pee-pee and hey, why stop now? So as you may be aware, when a woman
is pregnant, going pee is a big deal. It happens all the time. Like every half hour. If you manage to hold it for longer than that? When you do finally "go" it's like a fire hydrant blowing its top. Ahh the relief. So I had been holding it for hours. Hours people! That's a pretty remarkable feat.

Let me lead you through my little diva Avabella's thought process:
First: Hey, what the heck is this thing taking up all my room?
Then came: Hmm, what happens if I go ninja on its ass?
And finally: Oh hey, why is Mommy shaking me all around and screaming?

And that was my queue to haul ass to the bathroom. Once I sat down it was heaven I'm telling you. Heaven. I might have even said, "Unleash the Kraken!!!!" because it was that great of a pee.

Now, aren't you glad you took the time to read this post?

I have to pee

There are just some things you do not do to a pregnant lady. For instance, you DO NOT wake a pregnant lady up and then dominate the bathroom so she is unable to use it. No pregnant lady should be forced to hold it after waking up from a (rare) good nights sleep. I'm surprised this isn't a law already. Should this happen again, I will not be held accountable for my actions.

Except I can guarantee I was not smiling all cutesy when I had to hold it.

New Look

Hope you enjoy the new look as much as I do! I haven't been blogging much lately because of computer problems. I was having so much trouble doing the simplest of posts. It was driving me bonkers. So I switched from Internet Explorer to Firefox. Problems solved. What browser do you use?

Peanut

Dear Peanut,

Much has happened in the past months. I feel you moving more every day, which constantly makes me smile. You are growing beautifully and are a very healthy baby. We were able to see a glimpse of you for the first time on an ultrasound this past week. I'm ecstatic to announce that you are indeed a girl just like Mommy and Daddy thought.

Daddy and I, after much thought and debate, came up with your name. You will be named Avabella Marie-Lee Perkins. Daddy really loves the name Ava. When he suggested it I could do nothing but agree. However, I wanted you to have a longer first name so I suggested adding "bella" to it. Ta-daa! Avabella.

Why did I choose bella? Bell, reminds me of Christmas. My absolute favorite holiday. Ella, reminds me of Cinderella and all things Disney. You will love Disney. It's magical. So see? Bella is rather a perfect addition to the Ava your Daddy has his heart set on.

As part of our "family thing" every baby will have Lee somewhere in their name. Daddy's middle name is Lee and my maiden name was Leech. Lee represents both of us. Now it is for all of us. Marie we just like a lot. I'm not quite convinced on that name yet.

One thing we are positive, we will call you Ava. Avabella when you're in trouble. :)

Underworld

Some spoilers are in this post. Do not read if you would like to remain in the dark. You've been warned.

Underwold Awakening in 3D was pretty awesome. My first 3D movie but not my first 3D experience. Hello? I was a Disneyland kid. 3D was everywhere. I liked it and I'm glad we went but 3D isn't all it's cracked up to be. I don't think it's worth it, the glasses give me a headache and I didn't gain any kind of cool extra experience. 2D would have been just as awesome.

I loved the movie though! I hope they continue the story. Their daughter Eve was badass! I'd love to see more of her all hybrid-ed out. India Eisley is the actresses name. I don't think I've seen her in anything else but I'm sure she'll be showing up in more. She's a great actress and very pretty.

Have you seen anything good lately? In 3D?
