Dinner Plans

You might think its sad that I have had my dinner plans for tomorrow night laid out for weeks now. But oh well! Tomorrow is National Cheesecake Day and that means the overly priced Cheesecake Factory is doing any slice half price. Thats right folks. So for weeks now I've been thinking about how wonderful the cajun pasta is going to be in my mouth and then following it up with some red velvet cheesecake. Oh my. I am drooling. The awesome thing about Cheesecake Factory is that their meals are SO big, its 2 meals. Thank you to go boxes I will eat you again on Saturday. So yeah our plan is to go eat at like 5pm to beat the crowds. The one by our house is ALWAYS a madhouse so I'm really hoping that will even help.

You never sausage a thing!!

Well Anden is a little turd and decided to wait till Aunt Ryan came back to Houston before joining the world. 7 days late but he made it. It will be a few weeks before I can get back up there to see him, grr. I hate being the last one to do/see things. He was only 6 lbs but has a big head. He looks a little like a sausage and a little old man lol.

He is getting his newborn pics done this weekend and I can't wait to see them!

Let's Go Chop Chop!!

Babies def don't listen. But thats what I really want to say to Anden. Lets go chop chop!! Yesterday was his official due date and Meagan goes back today to get hooked up to monitors to see how his hearbeat and stuff are. She is really hoping they will see that he is squished and need to come out. She said he has finally dropped, so he's slowly getting the picture. I'm still rather amazed, disgusted, shocked, etc about the whole child birth process. Amazing what the female body is capable of. And really scary to think about!

So this weekend I didn't have anywhere to be or anything to do for once! It was great. I "slept in" till 8 both Saturday and Sunday. We went running errands and rented a movie Saturday and Sunday just cleaned the house.

I'm going to have to find something to do with myself here pretty soon since B will be heading back to work. Fridays will need to be filled with something. Maybe I really should finish my honeymoon scrapbook.

Give thanks for spanx

I'm on the hunt for spanx today. I need a little smoothing action under my dress next week. I haven't had to buy any in a few years but man, their products just keep evolving and getting better! They have everything you can think of as far as modern day girdles go! Lol. My dress is fitted so I am just looking for the tummy sucker-in-er and thigh slimmer one this time. VS has a new contraption I forgot the name of it but its like a super tight fitted under garment dress with straps but has no bra part to it. Its supposed to come just under your boobs and give you a huge lift. Since my dress is kind of halterish and high necked, I don't think that will be the best bet this time around. But any other time I would certainly appreciate the boost. Sarah Blakely is a genius!!

It's only Thursday

Ramblings...

I guess because last week we had Monday off for the 4th so it was a short week and now I'm off cause I woke up thinking "finally its Friday!" But no, its only Thursday :(

I had several dreams about Anden last night. I know my mom has been dreaming about him too so maybe that means he's on his way! Meagan has been trying to use her pump and eat spicy foods to coerce him to get on the road.

My weight hasn't changed lately. I've maintained my 7ish pounds lost but I havent worked out in awhile :( I have been SO tired lately. I seriously need to get it in gear.

Dear Anden

Please come out by Monday. Your mom is really bored and miserable. We all want to see your squishy face. It's also really hard to schedule your newborn pics when we have no idea when you will be here. So get to work on that and I'll see you soon!

Love,
your aunt Ryan

Where Did The Summer Go :(

Seriously, its already mid July!! I'm always looking ahead and am looking forward to things to come. Next weekend will be the last event I was looking forward to this summer. I guess I just get to enjoy August, even though in Texas its def the most miserable month. Boo.

T-6 days till baby Anden's arrival, possibly. She goes again today to the doctor to see if she is progressing and she is praying they just tell her they will induce her in these next few days. I hear thats what you don't want to do but, I guess with her, her blood pressure has been high these last few weeks and they don't play when it comes to blood pressure.

Come on Anden, I really need you here by next weekend so I can spend some time with you!

Whirlwind Weekend

Oh my I am exhausted. This weekend was sooo busy. Saturday morning was Bridget's bridal shower brunch. She got lots of fun stuff and the mimosas were a hit! So then it was off to get ready for the bachelorette party. Bridget's man works for Marriott so we got a sweet deal on a hotel room in Grapevine. My part was $7.14! So yeah we all met up there to drop our stuff then headed over to Main st. to my favorite winery Su Vino for their wine tastings. We were going to go to another place but we were running late so we decided to go ahead and do dinner at Esparaza's, which if you haven't been is really good. I have to say usually at Esparza's on a Saturday night there is no parking, and at least an hour wait but we didn't have any problems at all and had like a 10 min wait. Nice. So Bridget showed her lingerie to the whole restaurant lol. She got lots of cute stuff, I know she is excited. I guess its to be expected when you open gifts like that in a public place but there were some seriously creepy onlookers. So then we went to the Glass Cactus at the Gaylord. I've been to the Gaylord plenty of times but never to the Glass Cactus it was a lot of fun! Its really nice. A little older crowd than downtowns bars but I think we actually felt more comfortable with that since we aren't 22 anymore! We didnt get to bed till after 3:30am and I got like 4-5 hours of off and on sleep. I had to leave early since I had to drive back to the lake to get Brandon and all our stuff then we both headed home. Thats all I do anymore is drive drive drive. So boring!! BTW, my countdown to baby Anden (my nephew) has commenced. T-7 days!!

Its break time

I am going to be taking a much needed break from showers for awhile. No more hosting, co-hosting, planning, etc. I feel that I've been doing it non-stop for the past year and I am worn out. Stop having babies would ya! I will say though my latest is a wedding shower. The worst part about showers is the games. No one likes these. But its neccesary to break up time and sometimes break the ice. They are all so cheesy though. I'm having a hard time with that part. Sigh. Plus I don't want the bride to feel jipped of cheesy shower games, since its something that is done at all showers. Why should theirs be any different?

I have a busy night ahead of me. I'm going to get my hair did. I love love love Michelle who does my hair. She's close to my age and we just rattle on about everything. Thats something I look for in a hair stylist, someone who likes to chat. Cause there have been times that I have had to sit in silence the whole hour and I was miserable. Boo. I will be shopping for my part of the shower food, supplies, etc. I have to do laundry, find something to wear to both the shower and bachelorette party. Thats the hardest part.

Did I miss the memo?

Is blogging over and no one told me? Like no one on my blog list has made a peep in like a week! And some its been months! Did it become unpopular? I know it comes and goes, I had a blog a few years ago when it first came out. Just wondering if I missed something and everyone is onto the next cool thing now...

I went to the doc today. Always a pleasure :( Kinda pissed me off that all I got done today was blood drawn. At least I didn't have to pay. One time last year I went for a blood pressure check up and literally all they did was take my bp and it was like $30 for the co-pay. I was like whaaat?!

By the way, if you haven't seen Eclipse yet, you need to drop what you're doing and go now!! I was soooo happy with it. It stayed pretty true to the book in my opinion. And thankfully the Cullen's had more than 2 lines. Its about time! I thought this one was 10 times better than the first 2 and thats pretty rare for the 3rd of a group to be that good you know?

It's officially official

Well, after emailing one of the trainers yesterday B found out they offered the job to some chick from a Waco high school. Thanks for letting us know I guess! Geez, had he not asked about it they just would've gone on and never called to let him know to stop hoping. Grr. So now its trying to get used to things staying the same for another year. I know pity party for 1 please. I might stay here for a week or so.
