Angry Birds...and other distractions

I do not want to begin writing my portion of a research proposal. You know, the research proposal I knew about since the second week of January. You now, the one that is due in 2 weeks and my partner and I are just now starting. I would like to do anything BUT what I am supposed to. As a result, in between rounds of the game Angry Birds….I will write this blog. I haven’t blogged in about two weeks, so I’ll recap the last few weeks! I’m also watching American Idol, mind you. Which I haven’t done all year! Further proof that my house is procrastination station! So after the Poopsmith put a band aid fix on our sewage, we were all set to head to gray and cold Pittsburgh/Johnstown. We got there on Thursday night after a day of travelling and had a yummy meal by my mom. We got up early the next day to head to Johnstown for the Kane wedding festivities. I had a GREAT time at the wedding. Kellie and Jason looked great, MP pulled a funny on Jason and I made some cool new friends – the DC crew! I was also deemed as the ‘Trooper’ of the weekend - b/c even pregnant and sober my butt was in a bar until 2am….what I shouldn’t be proud of that? On Sunday we got to head over to Renee’s house for a nice little Sunday supper. Renee is definitely a Rachel Ray in the making and her food was delish! My PA girls came over, too, and it was nice to see everyone and laugh, a lot! I always enjoy that. Tired and worn out, we headed home to the rents b/c we couldn’t get on a flight back to FL until the next day. Last week was just as busy as the week before - between school work and prior commitments, I realized I just don’t stop. I am the energizer bunny. Friday we went to the Ray’s home opener with some friends. We didn’t get home until late; I was asleep and didn’t even wake up to use the potty for once. I was out like a light! I usually am getting up about every hour or so. Saturday I got up early to clean and prepare food for the visit of my Uncle Don and his wife Aunt Joanne. MP and I took them to the USF softball game and cooked dinner. We had a great time! By Sunday I was beat. I mean, BEAT. I went to church and met Elizabeth for school work and then came home and crashed. I asked MP to take care of dinner and I sat on the couch for the rest of the day. And I haven’t wanted to do much since!! Pregnancy wise – I have been feeling pretty good. I’m getting swelling every few days (as I have now) but it’s not been too bad. Usually some elevation of my legs helps. Tonight though, I even feel it in my hands. Oops, I guess that means I can’t type my paper…no? That excuse doesn’t work? We had a doctor’s appointment last week and heard Poppy’s heartbeat, again. Never get tired of that sound. She’s been kicking so much and daddy finally felt her kick, ONCE! I love feeling her move around. Ok, I guess I better go write at least a few paragraphs. I do have a deadline here.
