I braved the gale force winds for a walk today.
And actually it was fine except for the way back when I seriously looked at the somewhat ominous sky and wondered if I should get Toto (i.e. Nublet) to a safe place before some green lady on a bike comes at me with a posse of flying monkeys. Is there anything more creepy than the thought of flying monkeys? Remember, monkeys fling poo. So, flying, pooing, flinging, shrieking monkeys=absolute nightmare for me. Let's not even talk about their sharp teeth, or tendency to do inappropriate things with their reproductive parts in front of the public eye. I've been to the zoo one too many times I tell you what.
Obviously we made it home just fine, thanks for your deep concern, and no thanks to the storm blowing it's unwanted self this way. Every time it snows in the middle of spring I think "this is it, winter's last dying breath" and somehow I'm able to soldier through. Except "this is it" happens like at least 12 more times before that crap wraps up and then suddenly it's 95 degrees and boob sweat has made it's way back into my life.
Wo to the the perils of living in Utah, or any other state with 4 seasons for that matter.
I have my aquarium pass. Maybe we'll have to hit that up this week. Maybe my sister should come too and we'll walk laps around those tiny fish tanks (poor octopus) in the hopes of sending her into labor. Never worked for me (I walked 6 miles one day and all I got was a rash), but we can hope!
In the mean time, I want some freaking thai food.

You're such a good mom. Aiden asked repeatedly to go outside and I said no it's too windy.
Oh and about the zoo, it's not just the monkeys. The 500 lb turtles gave us a lesson in procreation last time we were there. My nephew captured it with his ipod. Awesome. If you hear groaning in the reptile house run, run for your lives and the sake of mental pictures.
Does it stink in the aquarium?
Aquarium...Yes Please! 6 mile walks...No (serious rash danger)
um yeah. walking to induce labor so doesn't work. trust me...i waddled my fat, sweaty self all over st. george in the middle of august to no avail.
ooh we just got an aquarium pass too... we should go!
(weather) I hear ya, the gray skies are killin me.
(thai) I've been craving Massaman curry too.
(inducing labor) And I swear walking miles after work for a week did help me go into labor.
Ben and I got Thai on Friday. I'm still thinking about it. So Good. I thought about you while I ordered the yellow curry. Oh, to have lunch dates where we sat and talked ... on the clock. haha. Love you
I was dilated to a 4 and 80% effaced for weeks with my second. We walked around the mall a few times a week. (I was dragged as I waddled along actually.) Did anything ever happen? NO! I even jumped on the trampoline and on a pogo stick (that was dumb--don't do that) and nothing worked. Nothing but the amnihook. Tell your sister to schedule an induction to save her from the disappointment of false hope. Cuz that stinks, especially when you feel like you're about to explode anyway.
Every winter, I swear this is my last winter in Utah. Then spring comes, and I say, "Ok, it's pretty, I can stick around." Then winter storms in out of nowhere in April and May and I realize I've got to get the heck out of here.
