i feel that there are so many big changes going on.

i had such a great time in new york. so much love. so much quality time (for once!). so much good food. so. much. fun.

thinking about last weekend makes me smile.

unbelievable.

alvin calls me to tell me that my way home from work is a parking lot for like 10 miles because of an accident. (what a good friend. thanks, man!) okay. so i wait it out. i'm about to leave and i hear that there is "breaking news" on eastbound 696.

the freeway is closed right smack dab in the middle of my commute.

i hate that there is no other good way home. yuck. i hate traffic.

i should not complain. it's practically friday. we will be in nyc at this time tomorrow. =D

don't you hate when you stop on a bad movie on tv and you just can't stop watching it? horrible acting and all.

people at my work make a big deal about st. patrick's day. people even took vacation days today. they aren't even irish. is it really such a great day to celebrate by drinking beer and eating corned beef all day long? i don't get it.

two things i learned this weekend:

1. paolo is really smart. i actually already knew this. it was just re-affirmed by his extensive knowledge of everything from body fat to whatever question was on the red cranium cards.

2. it is possible to laugh so hard that you are close to throwing up. perhaps this only happens when there is a lot of food that has been consumed. regardless, it is possible.

i just noticed that the blogger ad at the top of my page corresponds to the day's post. like for my last post...there were ads about swimming with dolphins and personlized pregnancy calendars. creepy.

i'm picking up lorie from the airport tomorrow. that will be my 6th time in two weeks that i've been there. that's a lot.

i just got back from mississippi. memphis, actually. i was barely in mississippi. but i feel i was in mississippi long enough to mark it off on my "states i've visited map". my hotel was really close to graceland, but i didn't go. i did eat fried pickles and a bbq sandwich and a mississippi mud pie. i felt it was appropriate, being in the south and all. fried pickles are interesting. think blooming onion (including the sauce) but pickle instead of onion. like i said: interesting. who would ever think to fry a pickle?

i think about food a lot these days. i'm gonna have to buy new pants soon.

i totally got nothing done today.

this is an unsettling feeling.

i hate having unsettling feelings. it means you know that you did something wrong or didnt' do something you know you should have done. ugh.

at least it's friday. tgif.
it was a year ago around this time that eric proposed.
six months later we were married.
and now i'm 17 weeks pregnant.

that is really weird to see written out.

after 3 more weeks we'll be able to find out if it's a boy or girl, and "legolas", "yahyah", "ice", and "it" will no longer be necessary (although affectionate) when referring to the baby. it is still so crazy to me. good crazy. mind blowing that there's another person in my tummy. lorie once told me that they don't really like for pregnant women to be in the water when a group is swimming with the dolphins at discovery cove. apparently, the dolphins can hear the baby's heartbeat and are drawn to it, therefore playing favorites with the pregnant woman. anyways, tangent.

we're gonna go watch the passion tonight. i really wish i got to see it in sd...

who knew monkeys and apes and orangutangs and gorillas were really that much fun to watch? last friday i realized just how much eric is entertained by primates. it is instant laughs when it's the real thing and not puppets. we're talking tears, people. who knew? i thought it was a guy thing...but after a sombering conversation with these old lady volunteers about saving the sun bears, visiting monkeys sounded like a good idea to get cheered up.

i miss my san diego buddies. good trip. made buttons. lots of buttons. dumb ones and dave's son ones. (it was probably a good thing that hong's computer broke or else i feel many many more dumb buttons would have been made.) one of the very good things was that i finally got to watch gene perform. yay! watching friends doing what they love makes me happy. and playing soccer with friends is a very good thing. watching jon attempt a header when the ball was on the ground was a bonus. the "don't hurt the pregnant lady" rule made it infinitely easier to bring the ball up from the back. hehe. =P

i'm gonna go eat subway now in honor of hongk and him letting us crash at the hotel this weekend.
