Memes: October 2005 Archives

I was tagged by Kate for this meme. Ten years ago ... my body was still recovering from being a surrogate mother. 9 months after the birth by hips were still sore and tender from all the shots from the first 14 weeks of pregnancy. I was given 2cc's of progesterone packed in oil every day. It was like shoving syrup into your muscle tissue. Five years ago ... I was getting a divorce after 14 years of marriage. One year ago ... I was still a newly wed and had just ordered our new bedroom suite. Yesterday ... I watched the rain alot and read. It was one of those quiet rainy days where you just laze around and enjoy the moments. 5 songs I know all the words to: 1. I Want To Dance With You - George Strait 2.

So I am tagging her and anyone else who wants to do it.

13 Super Sweet Morsels about Angie 1. I think I want/am ready for a seasonal change for the look of this journal. Updated - I did it. I changed my theme just for Halloween. This is a pinup girl by Gil Elvgren. I prefer Vargas but he doesn't have a halloween pinup that I have seen or have in my book. Vargas will be next month and the month after. 1a. I always wanted to be a Vargas girl. 2. Steven is working from home today and we are sitting together working quietly on our laptops. 3. I am waiting for one item to be delivered and Gracie's room will be finished. Due to this holding pattern I am having trouble starting the next room because the nagging "not finished" keeps at me and I just can't start that room until Gracie's is totally complete. 4. I am proud of Colby. She has a solid A average in all of her classes. 5. Warmth and humidity has returned to Virginia and I am not real happy about it. 6. I had planned to go up to the attic and pull out my maternity clothes of long pant and long sleeved shirts but it is so warm now I am not at all motivated to go up there and drag them out and wash them all. That sounds very lazy. 7. Nearly everything I have eaten in the past 3 days has given me heartburn -even a glass of water. 8. I am having a sonogram on the afternoon of the 19th. I hope they can tell what the sex is. 9. The handyman did not come last week. He called and will come this week. 10. Our little Koi pond seems to be a very healthy and thriving ecosystem. We have many tiny little fishes swimming around in there now. I think next spring we will have to get rid of many fish. 11. I am trying to decide wether or not to cut my hair. It is very long, past mid-back. Or should I wait until after the baby comes and go for that new mom needs a new look phase? 12. Have I ever told you I love old cemeteries? I used to do headstone rubbings and have one (somewhere) of my 9th great-grandmother. 13. Wow, I made it to thirteen and it was harder than ever to come up with 13 things.
