You know you’re sick when…you actually feel like a nap. I don’t nap. I just can’t and usually if I do, I wake up feeling worse. I napped today. It wasn’t for long, but it helped confirm that my increasing aches, tiredness, and coughs mean I’m sick. Dagnabit.

You know you’re pregnant when…coughing makes you have to pee. I had to run to the bathroom today too many times to count. And I will also admit more than I probably should – panties had to be changed after one particular coughing fit. Nothing serious, mind you, but still. Be for real pregnant bladder!

You know you’re in love when…you still want to kiss this little face. Snot, tears, and all.

You know you’re smart when…you give your body the rest it needs, despite hankering for a good workout. Now that woman who stole my spin bike yesterday morning better watch out! I’ll go Ninja Tina on her if she pulls something like that ever again.

You know you’re a procastinator when…you have nothing on the schedule and are at home all day, yet still don’t do anything productive. Oh, wait. I take that back. I did put away laundry and write an Examiner article. Please CLICK!

You know you’re a mom when…you can read The Hungry Caterpillar 387 times in a row and say “okay” when she says “again” once more.

You know you’re a blogger when…you can still find something to talk about after a day like that. 😉

I’m off to continue the laziness and chill on opposite ends of the room with my sister for her weekly visit. I hope I don’t get her sick! If she does get sick I can just blame M. After all, she had to kiss that snotty face too. Have a fabulous night!!!

Good morning! How are you all today? I’m well enough. Although little M and I both woke up with some sort of sickness going on. I don’t feel bad, but can’t stop coughing. Poor M has it all – cough, icky nose, tired, and I’m assuming achy from her clinginess. I hate seeing my baby sick. I think its from the church daycare and all the kids bringing in germs from schools and daycares they are returning to these days. We’ll just chill today and I will have to see how I’m feeling later if I head to the gym or not.

Okay – birthday recap time! What you all are here for. 😉 Yesterday morning started off a bit rough with M’s temper tantrum at the store and someone STEALING my bike at spin. My bag was on it and I left for 5 minutes to check M in the childcare. When I came back a lady had moved my bag and said she was there first. Whatever.That was the last bike so I ended up leaving, planning to just do a Turbo workout here later…which didn’t happen because I got too tired and distracted by my present from Peter. I do what I want every day and especially on my birthday.

The day picked up from there. I met a friend for story time at the library, which M loved! Then we hit up Yogli Mogli for some frozen-yogurt and girl talk.

I delighted in half Red Velvet Cake with white chocolate chips and half NY Cheesecake with raspberries. Oh dear heavens was it good. This place just opened and I see myself dragging Peter here soon for a repeat performance.

I continued eating just what I wanted with dinner last night. I made a Lemon Basil Quinoa with Roasted Veggies. The stars of the show…

I roasted the brussels sprouts and chopped carrots in a 425 oven for 30 minutes. Cooked up the quiona according to the directions. Heated up some Great Northern beans. Then tossed it all in a simple dressing of 2T olive oil, 1 tsp minced garlic, the juice of 1 lemon, and some fresh chopped basil.

I finished out the night playing with my new toy…

Peter got me a netbook for my birthday!! How perfect for blogging!? Needless to say, I’m in love. Time to say goodbye from my baby computer. 😀 Have a fabulous Tuesday!

• What do you blog from?
• What would you pick for your birthday dinner? I did have the quinoa on my actual birthday, but I admit we will be going to a Hibachi place on Thursday with my parents. I’ll know boy or girl then too!
