happy holidays

we're slackers and haven't been posting any pictures of our holidays 

parties thus far (probably because we haven't taken any), but we did 

want to wish everyone a very merry christmas, happy hannukah, 

and a happy new year!!! 

love you all.

fantasizing...

am i dreaming about him:

or him:

or even him:

no. not even close. 

those 'species' have the dreaded snake that put me in this current condition (not that i'm complaining, right?!). 

no, i'm dreaming about this:

and this:

and these:

or eating ANYTHING at these places:

actually, i just wish any of these foods sounded HALF WAY DECENT. seriously. i would gain 160 pounds if i could just have a regular (or any) appetite back. i want to eat. i want to eat a lot. and all i do eat is nilla wafers, capri suns, pumpkin cookies, baked potatoes, and the occasional pretzel. i'm sick of bland. i want a taco salad fiesta in my mouth. a feast for my little taste buds.

but, i guess a few months of crappy, bland food is worth the end result. 

until next time.

In Honor of the snow that has fallen today

True...

a bit more

so, yes, the little pink plus confirmed that this is the beginning of the end.  kidding.  i wasn't actually as "surprised" as juno.  my body, with a mind of it's own, was fairly uncooperative.  thank the good lord for fertility docs and drugs...that's all i can say.  so, i'm about 9 weeks along and am due in june.  that seems like FOREVER away, but i'm hoping it'll pass fast.  time usually does.  

and, in what's possibly even better news, LOST starts back up on january 21.  hallelujah.  i've so terribly missed jack, kate, sawyer, sayid, hurley, john (i hate john), sun, etc.  seriously, i haven't been this involved in a television show since saved by the bell (reruns saturday morning on channel 13).

can't wait.

surprise.
