I'm desperately shopping. In the last three weeks, I've slowly outgrown almost every skirt, dress, and pair of pants I own. I'm down to four pairs of drawstring pants and two drawstring skirts. This past Friday, I had to give up my last pair of jeans.

It's a sad thing.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Target to get some storage boxes for my clothes. Might as well stick them in the garage, since I won't see them for a good year or so. In the meanwhile, I've been surfing Old Navy and Gap Maternity. It's not as fun or as easy as I had hoped; maternity clothes ain't that pretty, and the pictures of these models with HUGE stomachs are frightening me. I'm just barely at the end of my first three months! I dread to think what and how many pounds lay around the next corner. Ah well. I just have to suck it up and accept that stretch and belly panels must be my fashion of choice for the next few months.

We're excited...

...about being parents in June!

Yes, it's true; we're looking forward to a newcomer to our family! We're thrilled to announce that we're having a baby, and the due date is June 7th. At our first doctor's appointment, we heard the baby's heartbeat, and in January, we'll find out if we'll have a mini Kathy or little Felix!

Stay tuned for more updates...

Boy, when you mess with your template, things can really go crazy. How frightening! I might just have to live with the current color scheme, for fear that everything will get munched!

Whoa! What happened to my blog?! It looks crazy!

Now that it's getting darker earlier, getting a little chillier, and getting closer to the rainy season, I just felt like our webpage was a little too dark. I'm not sure I like how it looks as I'm making changes, so expect to see some funny colors moving around until I settle on a final version.

Random tidbits for a Thursday night.....

If you yell for 8 years, 7 months, and 6 days. you will have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
(Hardly seems worth it.)

If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.
(Now that's more like it.)

The human heart creates enough pressure when it pumps out to the body to squirt blood 30 feet.
(O.M.G.!)

A cockroach will live 9 days without it's head, before it starves to death.
(Creepy.)

Banging your head against a wall will burn 150 calories an hour.
( Do not try this at home...save it for work.)

The flea can jump 350 times its body length. It's like a human jumping the length of a football field.
(Yeah, but is it worth it to be a FLEA?)

The catfish has over 27,000 taste buds.
(What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Something I've always wanted to know.)

Elephants are the only animal that can't jump.
(Ok, that could be a good thing.)

A cat's urine glows under a black light.
(I wonder who was paid to figure that out?)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than it's brain.
(I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains.
(I know some people like that, too!)

Polar bears are left handed.
(If they switch, they'll live a lot longer.)

Wow - is it really November? I posted a picture of all the lovely Halloween pumpkins on our homepage, but you can also go here to see a picture of us with our proud carvings.

Actually, that reminds me. It's time to scoop those puppies off our porch and toss 'em in the dumpster. When I came home yesterday, I couldn't help but notice that our neighbors had entered the very sad and very scary pumpkin sag stage. It had collapsed from it's original 12" beautiful height to a mushy 2" pile of pumpkin goop. Can't forget the puddle of ooze that forms around the corpse either! Can you imagine how hard it'll be to clean that thing up?!

That's right - enjoy the pictures 'cause the original is going OUT today!
