Traffic Jam
Why do people drive so stupid when they see a cop on the road? Because they are idiots thats why. Driving to work this morning I come across a traffic jam. What is the source of this jam? Retarded drivers...driving by a cop (who was driving 10 under the speed limit any way). I was completely boxed in and couldn't pass anyone. Seriously people. Just drive. It is ok to pass a cop, I promise.

Gas Pains Part 2
Stumbled across this article. I can relate 100%. This is so true. Read on!
It’s bird, it’s a plane, it’s Jackie Chan!
by The Sarcastic Journalist
When it came to pregnancy, I always wanted to know how things were for other people. How much weight were they gaining, what their bellies looked like, when they went into labor. So, of course, I wanted to know when people felt the baby kick.
When I thought of my baby in there, I always imagined a little thing, just walking around on the walls of my uterus. Yes, I know it sounds silly. I get it. But? That’s what I thought. A mall-walking fetus.
Trying to explain to someone what those first few kicks are like is trying to explain a sneeze. You see it in your mind. You can almost feel it, but you can’t put it to words.
A girl I knew had described the feeling as “butterflies in her belly.” I went weeks waiting for the butterfly feeling. It never came. Then I started waiting for big kicks. They didn’t come either.
Even better, it is more like trying to describe a fart, since that is the portion of your body that is all wonky, anyways. Go ahead. Describe one. I’ll wait.
Finally, I caught on and put the television remote on my belly. When it started to bounce, I knew it was the baby. Even though I couldn’t feel my baby, I could see that she was kicking.
The best part about when the baby started to kick meant that we had “Interactive Fetus!” Interactive Fetus was a lot of fun. You could blow on your belly and make her jump. If you pressed enough, she’d start to kick.
And sometimes, if her Daddy stuck his face next to the belly and talked long enough, she’d kick him in the face.

Gas Pains
I have been having these weird "gas pains" lately. Oh wait, they aren't gas pains...it's my baby! Whoa. That little thing comes alive at about 8:00 (almost) every night. I guess it does kind of feel like butterflies in your stomach but sometimes it tickles me and makes me laugh out loud. It is the neatest thing.
I get to find out the gender November 7th. Mark your calendars. I am so excited to find out that I took that whole day off work to celebrate! I am not really sure what I will do after my appointment that is first thing in the morning but hey, it's a mom thing. I think. Ya, I can totally say that.

Reading Rainbow!
So, as most of you know, I love to read. Well, I would just like to share some books with you that I have read in the past month. Suggestions for new material would be appreciated. For some reason I have been averaging a book about every 2-3 days so I am running out of material pretty quick. Of course, all the books I start reading belong in a series...then I get sucked into reading the whole series! Well, here are a few that I have particularly enjoyed...
The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale (its a series with the following two)
Enna Burning
River Secrets
Austenland also by Shannon Hale but not part of a series.
The 39 Clues: The maze of Bones-Book 1 in a series of 10, its the only one out so far...its by.... Rick Riordan I believe.
My next tackle is InkDeath...it just came out, it is the 3rd book in the Ink series and I have been waiting for its release FOREVER! Well, really only 3 months. I was also recommended a series (I know, not another series) called The Great and Terrible. I really am my own book club, I love it!
