Hatfields & McCoys

Did any of you watch the three part mini series on The History Channel last week? If you didn't you definitely missed out.

We saw commercials for it over Memorial Day weekend and set our DVR to record it and we finally finished. In total it's 6hrs, broken in to 2hr segments.

Excellent acting...I can't say enough about that part. It's sad that the families feuded for as long as they did. Certainly a neat history lesson. It does have some pretty heart tugging moments, but it wouldn't be a true story if they left those parts out.

So check it out if you can catch a rerun or view it on demand. I believe it comes out on DVD and Blu ray July 13th.

Starring: Kevin Costner & Bill Paxton

90's playlist

I have a lot of albums on my Windows Media at work, because sitting in silence all day (or listening to the telephones ringing) can be very monotonous.

Yesterday I decided to make a 90's playlist and surprisingly I had over 100 songs ha ha

Here were a few of the tunes:

Bye, Bye, Bye - *NSYNC
MMMBop - Hanson
Everything I do (I do it for you) - Bryan Adams
Criminal - Fiona Apple
Walking on the Sun - Smash Mouth
Cryin' - Aerosmith
Crazy - Aerosmith
Into Dust - Mazzy Star
Faith - Limp Bizkit
Angel - Sarah McLachlan
One of Us - Joan Osborne
Foolish Games - Jewel
Stop - Spice Girls

and a buuuunch more


Ahhhh I love the 90's :)

Weekend Recap

We had what seemed like a non-stop weekend. 

 

Saturday I woke up to this sweet face:

 

And later found her on a "throne"

She does make use of all the space....

 

Later that afternoon we had a meeting about the haunted house theme for 2012 and went over duties.  Obviously with PJ due the beginning of October, Hardy and I won't physically be involved while it's in operation.  I do still plan on running the Facebook page and website though as those are easy updates (I know some of you are probably thinking I'm mistaken and won't remember anything).  I'm going into it with good intentions!  Since we actually HAVE a location already, the plans for the haunt are pretty elaborate.  I'm hoping we get enough volunteers to help pull the construction and painting together so it's presented the way it should be.  We ended up staying in Dahlonega chatting it up until about 9:30pm or so and by the time we got home, I was tired.

 

Sunday I woke up to another snuggle bug, Flower:

 

We got up and headed to the Mall of GA.  We had some Fandango cash to blow on a few movies we purchased a month ago.  We already used some of it to see Battleship (which we thought was good), so this weekend we used what was left to see Snow White & The The Huntsman (Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth).  The afternoon started off crappy because we had lunch from Great Wraps and it was AWFUL - then I saw the score they just got on 6/1/12 was an 89 - gross.  I will not be eating there again.  On a better note, SWATH was a really great movie!  I thought my ass was going to fall off by the end because I never could get comfortable (the seats at Great Escapes - Hamilton Mill are much more comfy).

 

 

 

After the movie we headed over to Babies R Us to finally start our registry.  We spent an hour and a half scanning things and when I turned in our scanner, we discovered an issue...the lady who "signed me in" scanned me as someone else so EVERY SINGLE ITEM we had just picked was on some other Amanda Jones' registry - waaah?!?!  There was no quick fix, so I just told them to print me a copy of her registry and I would do my best to circle what I knew was mine.  Although I was irritated, they were very apologetic so it was hard to be angry.  To my surprise most of it was easy to spot, it was obvious she was having a boy and because we picked so many Disney things...that helped us too.  Now I just have to check our registry to make sure I didn't accidentally pick anything of hers that I thought was ours.

 

I would like to end this post with words of wisdom.

 

A lady always crosses her legs.

22 week photo's

Boredom on my lunch break lead to a mini photo shoot, ha!

Belly photo

I'm trying to look cute

My feet are slowly disappearing!!!

22 Weeks!

 

 

How far along? 22 Weeks

 

Size of the baby?  Approx 11" from head to toe and 1lb / aka a spaghetti squash

 

Maternity clothes? I snagged some white (never worn Motherhood) shorts on our weekend excursion to the Unclaimed Baggage place,  but I definitely need more than just 2 pair of bottoms, there's no way I can wear my normal pants/shorts now and when I try I either "bust slack" by wearing them below my belly or I don't look pregnant, I look like I have a giant muffin top.

 

Stretch marks? No

 

Weight gained: I don't weigh myself at home, so I won't know until my next appointment on 6/14

 

Sleep: I'm sleeping just fine thank goodness, in fact I've been dosing off on the couch most nights this week.  I've got to work on rolling over in the middle of the night though, because this round ligament crap is getting me every time!

Movement: YES! YES! I'm definitely feeling her kick, usually happens shortly after I eat.  So on my way to work and maybe for the first hour of work I feel the little kicks and then a few times in the afternoon and again in the evening.

 

Food cravings: None to name

 

Gender/Names: It's a GIRL!  Persephone Layne J

 

Labor Signs: None, but I recently watched like a million (ok not that many) episodes of 16 & Pregnant we had recorded and several of those girls had premature scares…that had me freaking out a little bit.

 

Belly Button in or out? In!

 

Wedding rings on or off? On!

 

What I miss: Still nothing really…

 

What I am looking forward to: As Persephone grows; I'm looking forward to feeling more prominent movements.  I can't wait for Hardy to be able to feel her kicking from the outside. 

 

Best Moment of the Week: ***Realizing my brain has totally gone to mush.  It makes for good LOL moments, but it's a little embarrassing and aggravating.  Last night I took a bottle of water with me into the living room…without a lid…and ultimately it got knocked over.  This morning I was pouring myself a glass of milk and I didn't hold the glass so the milk pushed it over and milk went everywhere.  A few times this week when Hardy was cooking dinner I told him what sides to make with the meal and none of the sides I thought I put in the buggy were actually in our house.  Looks like I just looked and thought about grabbing things at the store, but never did.

 

***Deciding which way I want to go with the nursery - duh it's going to be Disney themed, but I'm trying to keep it simple and modern.  I don't want "baby" Disney characters or Winnie the Pooh.  Hopefully we'll get it prepared in the next month or so and I can show it off :)
