This Post Is Boring

Feel free to skip if necessary…

I don’t know what is wrong with me, but I have no ambition to blog today. Or tomorrow. Or the next few days until BlogHer ’09. I had no ambition to blog yesterday or the day before that either. It’s like I’m so tired, no make that EXHAUSTED. I think the cold I’m still (yes, still) recovering from has wiped me out.

Or maybe it’s just the fact that I’m getting closer to the third trimester and my body has decided that sleep is the only thing that matters these days.  All I know is that I better get a burst of energy before Thursday, or I will be one boring woman in Chicago.

I got my gray covered hair colored today.  My appointment was originally scheduled yesterday but my stylist is not feelng well.  Her schedule for this week was tight, so another awesome stylist at the salon was able to fit me in.  I felt like I was cheating on my person.  Seriously.  I actually got on Facebook to ask her if it was okay for her chair mate to do the honors of making me look beautiful.  She gave me her blessing, and I have to say I look pretty darn good for a swollen pregnant woman.  I’ll post photos soon.  Probably during BlogHer.

Yeah, did I mention I’m going?  I’m sure you’ve read sentences like this several times because, for real, thousands of BlogHers will converge in Chicago.   I picked the wrong time to be pregnant, because HOLY PARTIES… and I can’t even have one cocktail.  Not that I really want one… OK, I admit, a sip of wine sounds really great right now.  Oh well.  I will live.

I really have nothing fun to blog about right now.  My mind is occupied by all the packing and to-dos and other chaos I need to handle before I depart.  Oh, that reminds me.  I need to get my car’s oil changed.  Write that down for me, will ya?

I will leave you with a photo of my son, the computer genius.  Here he is on his mother’s “puter” playing a game on the Playhouse Disney website:

I’m starting to think this child knows more about my laptop than I do.  He left clicks faster than his father, and he figured out how to work the scroll bar all by himself.  He even knows how to use the built-in mouse pad, but prefers the old fashioned kind, just like his mother.

Perhaps I will be back tomorow with more interesting blog material.  Or not.  So sorry I’m tres boring.

Any readers going to the big BlogHer shindig?  Let me know!

More Random Stuff

Well, the good news is I did not contract the swine flu.  The sucky part is that I’ve been suffering a horrible cold for ten days, and today finally, I can breathe through my nose.  Due to the sleep deprivation over the past three days, I’m now exhausted and ready to crawl into bed at 5:30.  Fun times.

Next week I’ll be heading to Chicago for the annual BlogHer Conference.  I’m driving down to the Milwaukee area to meet up with this hot blogger, and together we’ll make the journey south to Chicago.  Can I just say how grateful I am to have someone to talk for half of the long trip?  Thank you, Wisconsin Mommy.

For those of you who have e-mailed me, I’m sorry if I’ve failed to reply, it’s been mega busy (and chaotic!) here these last few weeks  — but I will be at BlogHer from Thursday until Saturday evening.  Due to my delicate condition, and not being able to drink, we thought it best to depart for home Saturday night.  Yes, I know we’ll probably miss the CheeseBurgHer party, and for that I’m truly sorry.  But I promise, PROMISE, to be present next year.  Make sure you hold me t it.

I’m not in a panic over the conference itself, but I am sort of freaking out about traveling while pregnant.  Even though my doctor has given his approval (he called it the “last hurrah” before I’ll be chained to a bed due to my high risk history… more on that in another post), I’m just a bit nervous about things.  I know I’ll be fine, but like I’ve said before, worrying is in my nature.  Please tell me to calm down.

I’ve got tons to do (pack, clean the house, make sure Dawson is taken care of, pack, freak out a bit more) so my blogging may be sporadic (I’m sure you’re used to it by now).  But if you’re going to BlogHer, be sure to leave me a comment so I know to track you down!

Jessica Simpson Dumped by Tony Romo

All I can say is thank goodness. They were all wrong for each other to begin with. More on the break-up here.

I’ve been a fan of Tony Romo for several years, mainly because he hails from the great state of Wisconsin. We cheeseheads stick together.

Jessica Simpson just seemed like too much for the shy guy to handle. Of course, I shouldn’t judge because I don’t know what their relationship was like. I don’t think either party was happy during their time together.

Opposites attract, they say, but after awhile that attraction wanes and both people start looking for an out.

Random Sunday Blogging

Hibiscus, Pink Bloom

It’s 5:47 a.m., I’m wide awake.  Couldn’t sleep.  Nose still stuffy, I’m now feeling some congestion.  Is it allergies?  Delayed onset of a cold?  Swine flu? (Dear God, I hope not.  Please help me feel human again.)

It’s July 12, 2009, and the weather this morning is frigid for July.  Wisconsin summers are typically humid.  We’ve been in a cold snap for almost a week (or more, I’ve lost track).

It’s Sunday, and in 4 hours we’ll be off to church.  Our parish festival began Friday evening and ends tonight.  This morning’s service is a Polka Mass.  While Dawson and I enjoy the music, poor Doug (who dislikes polkas very much) will be cringing for an hour.

It’s too early to be awake.  I’ll try to go back to sleep, only to lie awake in bed and think about things.  My thinking will turn into worrying, as it usually does, and then I’ll get out of bed and start cleaning things to take my mind off everything else.

I think I might be hungry.  I’m starting to feel nauseas.  Oh, the joys of pregnancy.

5:53 a.m.  Random Sunday blogging.  Good times.

Good Morning, y’all…
