March Posts to Wokeupfamily

I'm jumping the gun and assuming the March is over with.  This is because my computer won't work (yes, again) and I have to borrow my husband's computer for minutes at a time.  I have a feeling I won't get another post in for March to my private blog.

Here is what you need to be sure to check out:

Review: Gentlemen Broncos


Gentlemen Broncos was horribly awesome.  Deathroll and I had to pause the movie often to catch our breath and to soak in all the hilariousness.  We had to turn on the subtitles so that we could catch every single word.  Most people will hate this movie, but if you get it you will want to watch it a couple of times. 

"Gentlemen Broncos was intended to be released theatrically on October 30, 2009, but due to poor reviews the national release was pulled from theatres.  Gentlemen Broncos tells the story of a homeschooled teenage outcast and aspiring fantasy writer. He attends a fantasy convention to show off his work but his idea, Yeast Lords - The Bronco Years, is ripped off by acclaimed novelist Ronald Chevalier, who has turned desperate for ideas after his publisher rejects his latest novel and informs him that they intend to drop him entirely." ...wikipedia

Time for an Update!

Here I am at nearly 42 weeks pregnant! 
Ouch! 
At least in this picture I'm headed into the birthing center to have my baby.  Yes, after about 18 hours, 2 1/2 hrs which were pushing, I finally had my nearly 9lb baby!!!  I've never felt so wasted and so awesome in the very same moment.

A temporary farewell to the great Conan

Conan O'Brien is the man.
We'll have to wait 7+ months to see where he reemerges.



ps - Thanks to my brother Brent who introduced me to watching late night tv at the age of 14 or 15. I've been watching David Letterman and Conan O'Brien ever since.

Blog Going Private

With the baby almost here the husband and I have decided to take my blog private.

It's sad ... I have a hard time keeping track of all the private blogs I'd like to follow as I really prefer using Google Reader myself. I hope that one day there will be some patch so private blogs can be added to Reader for convenience sake. Hopefully I don't loose very many of my lurking friends as I really do love for you to check up on what I am up to, no matter how boring or weird my posts may be.

Please leave a comment or email me directly if you would like to be "invited" to my private blog. I just need your email address and to be notified that you're interested in getting an invite.

Don't be bashful!!!

Awaiting Labor : 38 & 39 wks

At 39 weeks I'm feeling stiff, sore, and walk like an old man but am happy to finally move past feeling really sick. My best Boston friend, is super motivating and has me optimistic that I'm nearing the end...Whether it's another day or up to another couple weeks before our babies arrive, at least we have time to treat ourselves to some delicious ice cream while we wait it out together!

(Pic taken 1/14/2010. I'm 39wks...Ginger is a trooper at 41wks!)

Looking back over a week ago:
Here I am running on 3 to 5 hours of bad sleep each night (it got worse when I suffered through the worst of my cough and had several nights with zero sleep), currently have a never ending cough and congestion, have swollen feet, and gained roughly 25+lbs. It's a good thing I'm 38 weeks pregnant or there would be something really weird going on!
