The baby is due in 21 days...3 weeks! OMG!

Memorial Day weekend rain rain go away! Everyone (except us) went camping at Otter River, but we managed to drive up on Friday night to do dinner with the gang and hang out. Tadpole came up for the night too. It was soggy but we still had a good time. I have to say that I was psyched that we went home, cuz the next day I was moving like an 80 year old walrus...apparently the damp weather effects my hips and back pretty badly. And imagine if I'd had to get up and go out for a walk in the rain every time I had to pee in the night. I never would have made it to the bathrooms. No way. Saturday we played Tomb Raider and just wasted the day away. SUnday we rented movies.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Adaptation, with Nicholas Cage. It's a trippy movie well worth seeing. If you enjoyed Memento...
GIANT CHEESE FEST: Star Trek Nemesis, but I expected nothing less. Or more.

Yesterday we drove down to Rhode Island to visit my buddy BazarJ. Dude puts on a great spred, with super yummy blade steaks and lobster! Surf & turf...I ate 2 lobsters and rolled on out of there stuffed to the gills. It was great to see him and meet his and his wife's family. I got to meet his 1 year old son Jackson and play with the other two boys. He's got another one on the way, so wife and I compaired notes. Awesome time!

Did I tell you that Blixx & I went canoing last week? Yep, he paddled me around in Sturbridge and we both got sunburns. I've got pictures if anyone is interested, just drop me a line. Gotta go pay some bills.

Peace.

Check out the fall tv schedules HERE.

The Buffy series finale is tomorrow night at 8pm. I've heard great things and that it will go out with a bang, but I just can't bear the thought that I will be without my Tuesday night fix forever. Angel is still around next season, with hottie Spike joining the cast, and Eliza Dushku (Faith) has a new pilot on Fox that looks promising...all in all I am in despair over the tv schedule.

Went to Wachusett Reservoir walking with Blixx yesterday. It was about 1 mile walk in the woods to a beautiful beach, where he showed off his skills in skipping rocks and I sat soaking up the sun. I want to spend as much quality time together with him as possible, since for the next 18 years or so we'll be distracted and overtired. It hits me more and more every day that we're going to have another little human being living with us, depending on us. The baby is due in less than 1 month. Wrap your mind around THAT.

Best Buy is offering 18 month no interest financing this weekend only, so I'm off to convince Blixx to get us a new system. Buy now, deduct on this years taxes, pay off next year, when I'll be employed. Sounds good to me...and I want to be able to burn CD's!

Matrix Reloaded kicked ass. Don't believe Tempest!!! Make sure you stick around through the closign credits for a preview of the Matrix 3. Yes, there could have been some editing done and there was a lot of blah blah blah. Most of the time I complain that movies are too action driven, with little motivational reasoning given for WHY the big fights occur...this one is different. It wasn't exactly what I expected, but still very much worth seeing on the big screen. I spotted a continuity error in the Agent Smith fight scene...anyone else catch it? Something is there one minute, gone the next, then back again. I did think some of the CG looked a little too Playstation but still the movie is a wild ride and worth seeing in the theater.

Woobie and his gf Anna from Siberia came up from Baltimore. He never changes, god love him! Toad & Birdgirl & Grips came over too. The lunar eclipse was less than stimulating due to the cloud cover, damn it.

Still alive & kicking. Ok, so it's the baby kicking. Actually, it's more like she's doing the Riverdance in there. Quite difficult to sleep through, that and the fact that rolling over in bed has now become a major production number. Oh, how I long for the bliss of sleeping on my tummy again. I'm feeling good all around, except for the not sleeping at night thing. Exhaustion wears me out after a couple of nights, so I do sleep, just not as much as I would like.

Nanny isn't doing well at all, so I'm coming to CT to visit her on either Thursday or Friday this week. My mom worries that I shouldn't drive. I've got a month to go and I feel fine, so I'm pretty sure that I don't need her to come up here & pick me up...like I want to spend time trapped in a car with her. Childhood trauma!

The baby shower was awesome and not at all the affair I had been dreading. JoJo came with her Hoochie Mamma sister and her youngest Jaydah, who is an angel. Jo makes some damn cute babies! Bex was there from my former employer, and Rox even showed up with her girls. And scarey Rita, who gave us a beautiful hand made baby blanket! Wow. My mom saved some of my baby clothes, including a Holly Hobby dress, and my old baby blanket and gave those to us. Tempest and Jacknife went all out on gifts, too many to mention them all, but they were a hit with the clothesline of baby clothes. I just love baby clothes...so little and pink and cute.

Yep, I'm turning into a girlie girl. Be afraid.

Mother's day is a bbq here at our house with both of our moms, as well as Grips and the whole clan, since they usually host every holiday we thought to give them a break. Now it's just getting the yard in shape to have folks over and praying for good weather so we won't all be jammed inside. I'm actually looking forward to playing hostess with the mostest.

X-2 was in fact quite awesome. Blixx & I saw it Friday afternoon on a date. I had thought it would get more into the whole Wolverine history with Stryker...no real details there. I mean, I know how the story goes - after 'dating' two comic officianado's in a row in the mid 90's - but I thought there would be more depth to that storyline in the movie. I'm also quite sure that more motivational plot should have been included in Pyro's journey to the dark side. There was definately more action and I did enjoy Nightcrawler (accent was a bit sketchy in places but hey) and I agree that there should have been more Colossus. In other news, I ate a whole LARGE popcorn...that big ass bag that it takes 2 hands to lift....yep, it went in my belly. I mean, Blixx had some I suppose, but it was mostly me. Popcorn is low carb so it qualifies as a food that I can eat 'free.'
