I find it ODD that I never thought to ask about my blood type before. I really do ... but now that I know ... I guess it explains my straight A's in school (laughing to myself at my own joke) Of course, the whole process to take the blood out to get it tested is always rather tiring, and bruising. Although at the time, I figured the nurse was doing a really good job, once I painfully removed the bandaid, I was surprised. There was a tiny little bruise where she had poked me, then another one beside it ... like as if I had colored myself with purple marker. And ... yes I did have to lie down to get my blood taken out, but in my defense it's because I'm tiny and they say it's normal. I've also been told if I were to give blood it would take almost all day ... my heart isn't used to pumping so much blood.

SO to remedy that situation, because when I DO get pregnant ... I'll be needing some more blood, I've started exercising more and building up body mass. This may be why people think I'm pregnant and have a cute little belly ... *pout* It's ... a 6 pack. I've been doing yoga, which makes me flexible and helps oxygen push blood through my body better to. If you have any books or papers about getting in shape for pregnancy let me know. I am NOT pregnant ... just in case this is leading you on. We are also accepting ANY baby things you no longer need, in good or decent condition, including baby clothes etcetera ...

Now I just need to wait for my OTHER blood test results ... something about Rubella.

I'm not Pregnant

Well, in light of recent events, I feel the need to clarify my non procreative state. Although I am flattered about the *glowing* comments, the weight gain ones make me laugh. I've been trying to gain 11 lbs with no success. I'm too active apparently. So ... for those of you hoping for me to be pregnant ... you have a while to wait yet, I'm in NO hurry and neither is Corey. Besides we have lots of friends who are pregnant and would rather wait and see what happens ... kind of like test persons.

Don't worry we are definitely practicing. It's the perfectionists in us ;-)

Christmas, the holidays and NEW YEARS

GASP ... I know it's been way too long since I last posted. Sorry .... *is ashamed*

Well ... Christmas this year was really awesome. I have to say that I had a really great time. I got a spectacular new pink rope halter from my brother Adam. It's very stylish and I've already decided it's for Skye. Corey had to work until later that night, but he was still home early enough to open presents. It was so nice to visit with Adam and Crystal, who are due for a baby this February. We're all anxiously awaiting. We played games and had a lot of fun. Ride the bus is my new card came that I like to show people.

Christmas day was with the Linfitts, and I actually had fun. We got there early in case Corey got called in to work and I was greeted with cutie patootie Kalci waving at me. Then we visited with the Gusdals, whom we don't see very much of, and Corey's parents. Then the Dawiskiba's got there, more fun and lots of pictures. We opened presents and there was a lot of smiles. I got a really cool candle that you burn and you get a little charm. I love little trinkets like that and let me tell you I'm usually not a big candle burner, but I've sat there and watched that candle go lol ... and discovered a new hobby. Playing with wax. Of course, now I've started burning more candles and our house smells like a variety of things from cinnamon to vanilla, to outdoor summer mist. I also got new clothes and passes to the movies (okay I have to share the movie passes with Corey, but still ...) I also made a pact that for everything new I got, I had to get rid of something old ... THAT was fun when I got home lol. I can't wait to get the laundry basket Bonnie got us, ours has a hole and the clothes keep falling out *very annoyed*

We then had supper (or dinner) whichever you want to call it and Deanna and I played cards against Corey and Brian. We won ... of course ... like there was any other outcome. I got to play with Kylea and it was great ... she is such an adorable cutie pie.

Boxing day was at my dad's house, I got a great new zip up sweater and a little doggie butt. It looks like Maggie digging into something (she digs her way out of any contraption) I loved it. We had Lasagne ... mmmm and played more cards. Again, lots of laughing.

New Year's eve, I stayed home with my sister Madison and we watched movies. Corey got home and we all watched more movies. Not very exciting but we had fun anyways.

Now it's back to the real world and stuff. Oh yah! Corey got me a CUTE new pink purse, a cell phone, some earrings, and new running shoes (they're also pink highlighted) and the movie Cinderella.

Anyways, it's 2006 now, time to start a new year. Can't wait to see what it brings for us!
