There isn't too much for me to muse about today - well, there is, but most of it is bitchy and/or mopey, so dear readers, I will spare you such crap. On the bright side, the NBA season opens tomorrow evening and the husband and I will be in attendance for the Blazers' home opener. I've been mildly-to-heavily intoxicated for the previous two years' opening night games, so being sober this year should be a nice change. Or not, depending on how the game goes...musings commence:
I got a new desk chair at work this morning and I'm in love. It's super comfortable and actually supports my lower back, unlike my old chair.
What is the best Halloween candy? I vote for the mini Reese's PB cups.
If I could have a dinner party right now with 4 people other than my husband, I'd pick the following: Joe Biden, Ron Artest, Angelina Jolie, and Will Ferrell. I can't even begin to imagine the conversation, but I think it would be off-the-charts insane.
No cankles. Or stretchmarks. So far.
Speaking of pregnant, my ribs are starting to take a lot of abuse, because the baby is getting a lot bigger now. She likes to stick her wee foot right up in there and puuuuuuush upwards and outwards. Ouchski.
If you haven't seen the trailer yet for An Education, you should. It looks amazing.
My leave starts in just over four weeks. Thanks God, because I'm tired and I need a break from work.
Open memo to Billy Ray and What's-Her-Name Cyrus: just because your older daughter is a hopeless skank, doesn't mean your younger one should be too. Yeah, I saw those pictures of the Younger Cyrus Skank at a Halloween party over the weekend. Disgusting - she makes those kids on Toddlers and Tiaras look normal.
Is a Diaper Genie really worth the money? Or is a Diaper Champ the way to go?
Homecoming is this weekend - heading back to the 'Scow for some fun and football. Hopefully it's fun football...after the Vandals' epic bed-crapping against Nevada on Saturday, I'm a little worried for the upcoming game against Louisana Tech.

Monday Musings - No. 1, Vol. 23
Last week was a bad week for me, blogging-wise. I just didn't have time or any interest to post something, so I mailed it in with my last post, just to keep my weekly posting goal intact. Weak, I know. It's been my desire since getting pregnant to avoid turning this into a Pregnancy Blog but it seems like 95% of my life these days revolves around the pregnancy and baby...however, I'm sticking to my promise to NOT let this become a mommy-to-be blog. Musings of the (mostly) non-pregnant variety commence:
Crate and Barrel has the best Christmas ornaments ever. I could decorate 5 10-foot-tall trees just with their stuff alone. I love Christmas ornaments, but seriously.
The Blazers are wrapping up preseason play soon and we still don't know who the starting point guard will be. I guess this is a 'good problem to have' but I don't see it that way. It makes me nervous.
The husband is on an 'elimination diet' right now to see if helps with a chronic throat problem (yeah, I don't get it either, whatever) which means I am also on a bit of the same diet. No wheat/gluten, no egg, no dairy...dinners have become less than fun around here lately. I hope the diet does NOT work so we can stop this nonsense and tomfoolery and get back to eating normal food.
The University of Idaho Vandal football team is BOWL ELIGIBLE, y'all! I have had NO reason to be excited about my college team for 11 years, but this year...well, it's nice to cheer for them. Gonna chase that feeling.
Okay, one pregnancy-related Musing: my discomfort factor has increased geometrically over the last two weeks...I worry this kidlet is going to be bigger than we thought. At the very least, she's gotta have some seriously long-ass legs judging by her 'reach' in there.
I'm getting the travel bug again. When I cannot travel. Boo-urns. Where do I want to go? Hawaii, because nothing's hotter than a pasty-white pregnant woman with a giant belly walking around in a bikini, right?
Nonfat greek yogurt is a snack I could eat every single day and not get tired of it.
Suzy Kolber has the sickest hair on a female sideline reporter I've seen in years. And I don't mean 'sick' in a good way. It's just extremely fugly.
I kinda want to see Where The Wild Things Are but I've heard it's a tearjerker and with me being on Hormone Overload, I just don't think it's a good idea right now.
I miss shopping for normal clothes. We were at the mall yesterday and I saw the cutest outfit in the window at Ann Taylor that I cannot wear. But I desperately want it.
The rainy fall weather has arrived here in Portland and it suuuuuuucks. It really does put me in a super Debbie Downer mood. I love living here most of the year, but from now until March, I hate it because of the stupid rain and cloudy skies.

Watching...
the season premiere of Nip/Tuck and I'm pleased that they decided to incorporate the economic downturn into the show's plot this season. Although, I do find that the casting of that sketchy Rose McGowan as Sean's girlfriend is rather sucky.
(I meant to do a real blog post this week, but I just haven't been overly inspired, so I didn't. Hopefully next week that will change...)

Monday (er, Tuesday) Musings - No. 1, Vol. 22
Again, I missed the Monday part of the Musings because of pregnant brain and heavy workload. Meh, whatevs. "Tuesday Musings" sounds nice too...
First preseason game for the Blazers is tonight. I'm stoked, but also worried that after 2.5 hours in a little chair, my back is going to SCREAM. It's already hurty most of the time.
My friend Charles took some fantastic photos of my pregnant self (and of the husband) this weekend. I'm narcissistic enough that I've already looked at them at least 5 times today.
I'm pretty sure I need a different desk chair here at work. After only a few hours in it, my back and ribcage get very very sore.
I made mini pumpkin cupcakes last week to welcome Fall...they turned out great. I love pumpkin goodies.
Niners are 3-1 and have a 2.5 game lead in the (awful) NFC West already. I'm thinking playoffs.
Speaking of football success, my Vandies are 4-1 and possibly bowl-bound for the first time in 11 years! Too bad that we won't be able to travel to any bowl they might make this year, because of baby.
I can now feel the baby's body and limbs from the outside when she moves. This is a little weird and a little awesome at the same time.
I've become a little addicted to the People of Walmart website. Holy crap.
