Dear Diary,

Also, here is a Friday Fill-in, an idea I stole from Kate who stole it from someone else who stole it from here.

1. On my laziest day I like to eat McDonald's and watch Days of Our Lives with my dogs.
2. Being pregnant makes me feel like I'm being productive.
3. I love little dogs and big dogs.
4. This summer I want to not get stretch marks.
5. Vanity made me start my blog.
6. Red onions and orange baseball apparel.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing Indiana Jones, tomorrow my plans include grilling and sunbathing and Sunday, I want to convince the BHE to restain the deck.

Love,
Fluffy

Attention City B Locals

Need a new hair stylist? May I please recommend that you try Ann at Sprout. She gave me a great haircut; she understands my wavy, fine, yet somehow abundant hair. (If I'm feeling especially vain later, I may post a picture.)

Also the highlights I got did not smell bad or burn my head. In fact, the dye smelled pleasant. Also, they massage your scalp when they shampoo you there, and it was so nice that I came close to asking the shampoo girl out on a date.

Love,
Fluffy

Monkeys, airplanes.

Dear Diary,

Is this the cutest crib bedding ever? I think so, and I bought it even though we do not yet have a crib. Oh, and also the nursery is currently an office/tv lounge/repository for dog toys and the BHE's record collection. IT'S MONKEYS.And the rug for the nursery that I bought: IT'S AIRPLANES.

See?

Here's hoping that the kid will think airplanes are cool well into his childhood, so that I don't have to buy a new rug until he turns 14 and sets fire to this one in an explosive display of teen angst. Or, I don't know, maybe he will be all mopey and emo and drip candle wax on it instead? Time will tell.

Love,
Fluffy

I can has waiverz?

Dear Diary,

Does being pregnant get me out of having to take my car to be emissions tested? I think it should.

Also, could Angelina Jolie please shut up about how, like "most women", she just loooooooooooooves being pregnant? Please.

Love,
Fluffy

Place Holder

Dear Diary,

I have several topics that I have been meaning to post about. Namely working vs. staying at home parenting, the term "mommy blogger", and the fact that Method tub and tile cleaner makes your shower smell like wet dog.

But I am too busy preparing for FREAKING OUT about my mother-in-law's visit. So it will all have to wait until after the weekend. For now, has anyone tried cutting an angel food cake into layers and spreading nutella (warmed, natch) between the layers? And if so, did it work out alright? Would pound cake be better?

Kthx,
Fluffy
