After a year of searching...in ALL THE WRONG PLACES...I've found my IPOD. 

And now I have to erase...upload...and Redo it...

Mike and I went to Lowes a few days ago to pick out paint samples for our room. We're partitioning it off so the baby will have his or her own space. So we picked some neutrals (my choice...I want an accent wall for the baby) and blues and pinks and greens and yellows and purples....everything but red and orange basically. We even had a gray color...

Anyway it's like we're no more closer to picking out wall colors then we are about picking out a girls name. Decisons that I know we have a few months to decide on but time has really gone by fast for me and I really want to get moving on somethings. We decided on which way we're going to have the boys name if its a boy: Mason Alexander. We liked Alexander Mason but the flow for me just works better with the way we chose. I'm not telling anyone which way we picked. I want some surprise for them. I just wish we had a girls name.

Some Girls Names:
Casey or Kasey*** (I like it spelled with a "K")
Alyssa
Isabella
Chloe
Alaina or Laina
Makayla
Sadie***
Angelina (Might be the middle name ... great great dedicated to my aunt)
Mackenzie***
Adrianna

It's so hard to pick out a name. I really don't know which one I like more and Mike is no help either. Any comments on the names?

I worked today for the first time in forever. My mom's job was short staffed and since they pay under the table I work when ever they need me. So it was two of us for a party of 25-40 people. Not bad. I actually got to meet some council people for the ward. I got tipped any came home after four hours of work. It was nice cause I made more in four hours then I would have made at my other job (had i still worked there). Not to mention I found out the buser/cook is in LOVE with my cousin. I couldn't help but laugh. He's three years older then her but they're just friends from living in the neighborhood. It's cute.

Mike is working all night tonight so I'm planning on working on my story I've been putting off for some time now. I might post some later for input. And the best part? It's been raining on and off all day. I LOVE IT!

So for April's Fools Day Mike's parents and I have decided that we want to get him good. He thinks he's king shit but well when you have the fear of your closet and you're mr. macho man you tend to get picked on by those who love you.

Items
Blowup Man
Werewolf Mask
Tighty Whitey Underwear
Leather Jacket
String
Voice Dubbed Soundtrack

Plan
When Mike goes to work on May 31st his parents are and me are going to rig the blowup doll complete in his tighty whiteys (he was forced to wear them because he had a medical problem with his "boys" as he put it), leather jacket, and werewolf mask. They're going to attch string to it and the hole that has the cable line running through his closet to their room will also hold the strings to make the monster move. We found scary voice sounds and put them on a CD. We're going to hide a video camera in some of the baby stuff that we have in the room and once he runs out the door I'll be recording from either the hall or his sister's room. When his stepdad hears him screaming he's going to run out with his gun (locked and unloaded) and act like Mike is really screaming about something. Then as I'm cracking up his mom is going to send the weiner dogs and the lab out for more effect. My job in all of this is to get him up to the room and make sure he doesn't laugh because I can't act to save my life.

Outcome
I'm pretty sure we'll get a kick out of it. Mike on the other hand might just sleep on the couch for the next few months. He really has a fear of his closet and while I know I shouldn't exploit it, I am. He'll get over it and just try and get us back just as bad and I'm sure he'll get his sister involved...yeah that's just scary on its own.

We went for a walk today. It was an hour and a half. My legs are cramping slightly. I loved it though. Sammi was all over the place when she was walking with us. We didn't take the weiner dogs cause it's still cold outside and their little paws would freeze. We walked around the metro park by us and it was so relaxing.

Mike's mom is getting Mike and me free tickets to see Rod Stewart at Blossom. I LOVE HIM! I know he's older but he really does have some great love songs...I'm a sap when it comes to that. So I told my mom just to make her jealous cause the tickets are over a hundred dollars just for grass seats and I think we have pavillion seats. So I called her and she was like are you going to take me and I was like No, me and Mike are going. Mind you I'll be in the middle of my 9th month. She was so jealous and if I had the money I would get her one to come with us but Mike's mom is getting us these tickets through the Cleve. Clinic so I really don't think it would be appropriate to take her.
