cuuuute!

So I got this text message from Randy earlier last week. He was in Wal-Mart helping a coworker pick up some patio furniture.

It said,

"Can I buy this?"

with this picture...


Someone is becoming a softie!

And I stinkin' love it!

Shame

I just ate pickles and blazing buffalo doritos...together.

I'm so embarrassed (and yet so satisfied!)

What is happening to me?

Things I know...

1) My house has never been messier.

2) Embarrassingly enough, I have served more dinners from the frozen food section than I have in all my years of cooking.

3) My tummy seems to grow overnight.

4) I am so emotional. I even cry during commercials.

5) Varicose veins keep popping up...

6) I know what a sciatic nerve is and how the pain can interfere with your sleeping.

7) Sleeping on your side is not comfortable.

8) I need to push a porta potty around because the amount of times I have to pee has increased by 75%.

9) My mom is the most excited person I know currently. She even kisses my belly when she sees me. Yah, she's a little nuts over this, but we were expecting this!

10) Our family and friends have been such a huge support to us. We are so blessed!

11) My nails could be in a Sally Hansen photo advertisement! I have never had pretty nails.

12) I am hungry even after I just eat a meal. I'm hungry really all the time.

13) My face is currently the size of a bowling ball. See reason number 12.

14) I feel tired even after sleeping all night.

15) I am overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done.

16) It's all going to be so worth it! This baby is very loved already! We truly don't deserve His grace, mercy, and blessings.

Big, no, HUGE NEWS!!!

I'm going to be a mom!!!!!

God has been so faithful through this journey. Randy and I truly don't deserve His blessings. We are just in awe of the little miracle growing inside of me. It even does little dances on the ultrasounds.

He/She does not get his dancing skills from his daddy:)

We are expecting to meet Little Lueders on December 27th!

Prayers are greatly appreciated! This pregnancy thing is stressful!


AAghahahahahahaggghahahahaholqj0oeijrljkvoiwajeroijlaksmvlczzmotjroqjlvmbouq!!!!

Left Out

Am I the only one not into Harry Potter?

I mean it's border line ridiculous.

People are even wearing the little Harry glasses.

Yesterday, my friend and I saw "Cars," which was nothing short of fabulous!

Side note: Favorite line: "Do not eat the Pistachio ice cream. It has turned." Gosh I love Mater!

Anyway, we saw the 2 o'clock matinee. There were people wrapped around the ticket office sitting on the pavement and in their Academy folding chairs. What??????

They were waiting to see the 12:01 showing of Harry Potter.

It was a 105 degrees yesterday afternoon! People were camped out in a long line waiting to see a movie that will still be showing for weeks!

I don't get it!

I need to read these books. They must have like dollar bills hidden between those pages.

Completely Different

Food Network and I have bonded!

Mopac and I have watched every possible episode over these past four weeks! I can't believe I have to go back to work on Monday:(

My favorite show is "Restaurant Impossible."

Randy and I are hooked! I love Robert Irvine and his toughness as he tells people their restaurant is crap and their food sucks! The premise of the show is that a restaurant is about to go under. Robert Irvine is their last attempt to turn things around. He comes in and assesses, gives his review (often brutal, yet hilarious), revamps the menus, trains the cooks, and redesigns the whole restaurant with his design team. They show an end clip with an update such as "four months after the show, blah blah."

It is fabulous!

Right now, I am watching "Giada at Home." She is making a "simple" kid friendly meal for her daughter's music class who is coming over to bang on instruments as they call it music.

Her kid friendly menu is completely different than what my mom served my brother and me.

She's serving wagon wheel pastas with pancetta and peas.

My mom served us fun wagon wheels too. But she topped ours with chili and cheese! Man, I miss that meal!

Giada is also just throwing together mini lamb chops and homemade ketchup.

I have never had lamb to this day. We never had this at Little Bo Peep day care either. Oh and the ketchup thing, remember that green ketchup? My mom was cool enough to let us buy that gross stuff. Thanks Mom!

Lastly, Giada is rounding out the meal with pbj crepes. The whole toddlers and crepes combination is just as common as toddlers and cheerios!

I didn't know what a crepe was until "Talladega Nights" came out. Thanks Will Ferrell!

Man, what little kid wants to go to her daughter's birthday party?
I'm guessing it won't be at Mickey D's!

Highlight of the week!



I'm seeing Cars 2 with Jana today! I love matinee prices! You don't feel as guilty paying for your popcorn then. Because there will definitely be popcorn!
