Tis the Season and I'm bored to death

2014 has been a very interesting year. I keep having positive spurts where I am very thankful to be old (33) Yes old. When I was young, I was bored... and I hated myself. Now I'm old and I'm listening to christmas music willingly. It is playing all day long, and I can't seem to get enough of it. I have sunshine spurting out of my butt, I have a skip to my step, and I am totally psyched that it has been raining and dreary for the last month. Even the weather has no affect on me. 

This is not me..... that I know of. 
Could be the pregnancy. The hormones are working in my favor. I feel great. I'm a having a girl. I think we are going to call her Ava, and I just want her now. I don't really feel like getting really fat and uncomfortable, I just want my baby. I'm so excited... and like I said, I could tell it was a girl, because I don't feel like there is an alien in my body destroying my soul.... boys... that's what they do to me- when I'm pregnant. 

My mom, aunt and uncle came over from England for a three week visit. I thought at first that it was going to blow chunks... I was ready to book a hotel room just in case.... I thought I was going to hate hosting them.... but surprise I didn't want them to go. 

Weird.... it must be the hormones. 

I cry a lot now... that they are gone. I really liked having adults around all the time. After they all left I realized that I talk to myself... and think mostly of my next meal, and bedtime. My life is boring at the moment. I can't ride horses, I can't drink alcohol, I can't do a lot of fun things. So I sit around eating.... and waiting for my baby to cook. 

Lots of waiting.....

I should be doing other things... like laundry, artwork for clients, vacuuming, baking, shopping, crafting, mucking out the run in shed, walking the dog.... lots of things I could be doing.... but my brain and body are in this happy little bubble of "nope not today" syndrome. 

Christmas is in a week. That seems crazy to me. Maybe it's because it's been 50 degrees and raining here for the past month. I need snow! 
I also really don't feel like christmas shopping for gifts... unless it's something great. I have no great gift ideas.... and I only like to give gifts to people I really like. 

Giving gifts sucks when your forced to do it on a certain day. I like to give gifts for no reason. That is the bestest! 

Like for example, I will come home and surprise my husband with a sandwich! "Surprise it's a sando!" and then he is happy. and I am happy too. Giving food is nice. Yup that's the pregnancy talking. I'm usually a food hater.... but not right now... nope. Food is my new favorite. 

I especially love pink grapefruit and salmon. 
hmmm.. both of those are pink.... maybe I'm just craving pink because I'm having a girl. 
When I was having the boys I craved cheese steaks.... brown... boys... poop.... yup. The color has something to do with it I'm sure. Boys are dirty.

Anyway, for christmas this year, I have painted a few wine glasses....some with flowers and horses and personalized names.... that was a great gift idea for some people. It was fun too! 
I plan on making my home made granola and putting it into jars with cute labels. 
And giving out soap in tins. 
Who knows... maybe I will do some cookies too. 
My husband likes prank gifts... I got over that in my twenties. Now I'm old... so I bake and make stuff. Woooo living on the edge! 

I have never been a good present giver.... I'm just going to keep that up so people don't expect too much out of me. I learned this in high school. I just failed my tests... and then the teachers weren't disappointed in me because they thought I was dumb.

In other news.... 
We got a puppy about a month or so ago. He is a chocolate labrador, his name is Henry, and he was the worst mistake of 2014. He is a good dog... but something about him makes me angry. It's his stupid face. He is really smart but does the same stuff over and over again... like he ate the shoelaces off of all of my shoes and boots. Just the shoelaces. He didn't eat anyone elses shoes. He did this on purpose. STUPID DOG.... ugh .... I can't even write about him he makes me so angry.... and I love being in my happy lazy warm bubble, and that dog is ruining it all!!!

Whatever, Watts needs to go poop. I have to go. I have to wipe his butt. My life is thrilling.
