back

a very good friend of mine posted a link to my blog in her blog, so now i'm feeling obligated to keep this thing updated! work did this horrible thing it does where it picks up and doesn't give me a chance to think. so now i'm taking a thinking moment by force, whether or not it's here. because i think i read somewhere that it's more productive to take mind breaks throughout the day than to charge forward and get decision fatigue without a break.

anyway, there's news! i'm PREGNANT! at 14 weeks now, thane & i go tonight to hear baby's heartbeat for the first time. i've got an itty bitty baby bump in progress, and it's really interesting that my body is forming a baby without my help at all! i mean, i'm eating healthy stuff, and i'm exercising (if dancing like a fool at a Hanson concert last week counts, which i think it does). but i'm not thinking, ok, let's get to work on those eyelids! or tonight while i sleep, i think i'm going to form some vocal chords and maybe get a kidney if there's time. it really is a miracle.

all this to say, i'm definitely still in the office, and even though i dream at night about being a stay-at-home mom, it's just not in the picture right now. and i'm ok with that. i trust that God will provide thane with an awesome, high-paying job if we need loads of money and a lazy abby. we'll see.

feels good to be back. who knows? maybe i'll start up a baby blog..

how being born is kinda like a hangover

i don't drink. i don't like the taste of alcohol, and every time i try it, i remember how much i don't like it. my husband is allergic to it, so that just drives the nail into the coffin of my would-be drinking habit.

so, it kind of goes without saying that i've never been drunk. but i guess it should be said. apparently, i'm in the minority, but i'm banking on that. because it will make my new theory all the more hilarious. are you ready?

here it is: being born is like a hangover.
(remember, i've never experienced a hangover, and i've never really seen a hangover first-hand, so this is entirely put together from movies and co-workers' stories. feel free to comment and/or tag yourselves.)

where is this coming from? and what does it have to do with the office? well, today pregnant lady #2 had her bouncing baby boy today! and boy does the picture say a few things. maybe not a thousand words, but here's what it told me: "man, why are the lights so bright? and why is everybody so loud? i hate this! i feel like crap, and i look like it, too. and all i want to do it go back to sleep!"

so, am i right? does that sound like a hangover? because bouncing baby boy is actually not bouncing at all. he looks angry.

anyway, i miss my friend. we're both seniors in our department and we've seen a lot of crazy stuff. and thus, the inspiration for the office quote of the day:


Oscar: Pam and Jim are on their honeymoon, so there's not the usual balance between sane and others. Toby has mentally checked out since June. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.


NEW episode of The Office on tonight!! and i must admit, i did chuckle when i read this on Twitter from @theofficenbc: #TheOffice is back! Don't miss tonight's ALL NEW episode "Sabre" - yes, we really mean all new - at 9/8c!
