Is it Really Only Wednesday???

So, it's been a long busy week so far. I've just finished up a job for a new client doing schematic drawings, and am now going over in my head what to attempt to conquer next. Hmm...laundry, cleaning or grocery shopping. Well, tonight is out of the question for any of this as we have to go to TD to close our bank accounts. It's been a long time waiting, but we can finally close every thing there seeing as we renewed our mortgage with a different bank. I cannot possibly tell you ALL the problems we've had except to tell you our experiences have been unpleasant. After our bank appointment I'm thinking we should pick up some milk (we are all out), and then grab a bite to eat. I realize that this blog posting is beginning to be a rant...but I have one more pet peeve to add to the list. Why is it that there are very few healthy options for fast food? I realize that 'healthy fast food' is a bit of an contridiction in itself, but still it would be nice. Subway is out of the question as I don't trust their lunch meat being pregnant and all. And the only other option is wendy's really. Anywho, we will see...but I may be so hungry by the time I leave the bank that I might finally give in to this terrible craving for 'fry supreme' from taco bell. I've had this craving for months now and have conquered it with very strong will power. I will keep you posted how much longer I can succeed. I must also tell you that a poutine from New York Fries also sounds good. I had very few cravings while pregnant with James, but this time is totally different.

As far as my exercise routine goes, I've been very dedicated to my running routine still. Although due to the hot weather I have resorted to the treadmill. Very boring. And I can never seem to keep my balance while looking up at those darn t.v.'s. I feel as though they are way to close to the treadmill. I mean really...picture a pregnant woman running trying to look up at a tv, juggle her ipod and take a drink of water, all while balancing a beach ball belly on a treadmill. Come on. I think the televisions were placed there strategically for the enjoyment of all the non-runner's on the elipticals and stationary bikes located further back.

Oh...and we officially have a full relay team for the Detroit Freepress Marathon Relay. I am registering us next week. I'm super excited. Hopefully I'll be able to hobble through my 3 miles!!!

Have a great night!

First Appointment with Dr.J

So today was my first appointment with Dr.Jasey...or as I sometimes short form it Dr. J. It was pretty short and sweet and I only waited 1/2 hour past my scheduled time which is SUPER good. Nothing really exciting to report other that the baby's heartrate was 140. I scheduled my next ultrasound for Sept 1st, and then my next appointment for Sept.8th. My life is all about appointments now for the next 5 months!!!

Other than that, just super busy. I have 2 new clients I'm doing work for and a whole bunch of other work for exisiting clients to finish up this week. Just when I thought I was getting a break!!! Guess I can't complain, since so many people are out of work. I heard that the unemployment rate in Windsor is the highest in the country on the radio the other day. I think they said it was around 15%...I can't remember for sure though.

Well, guess i better go...got work to do!!!

Long Awaited...

So it's been a while since my last post...so here it is - the long awaited blog posting. We went camping last weekend to Wheatley. What a blast!! James was such a champ and the camping trips keep getting better and better...or should I say 'busier and busier'!! We basically did a lot of walks - yes my little boy now insists on walking with his mommy until he's so tired he can't go any further. Too cute!! We also spent some time at the beach and there was a nice park by the water. Every day I got about an 1.5 hr break when James was sleeping in which I read my new book I got from Elizabeth for my birthday. Wont a wonderful read - it's all short stories on being a parent. Sunday our friend's Angeline and James came out with their daughter Adelaide and the kids had a great time playing together and we all had dinner that night - mexican, mmm....

As for the rest of my week, it's been VERY busy. James had his doctors appointment Wednesday, and he got his shots. He was very brave and was such a good boy. I've been trying to get some new business so that has taken up a lot of time this week too. I have a meeting tomorrow with someone to possibly do some illustrations (cabinet schematics). Should be interesting... the man I spoke with spoke very little english.

Well, better go and start my weekend.
