Megan is having a boy!

That's all.

Boy or Girl?

Here's your chance to vote on whether Baby Parker is a boy or a girl. Megan and Daniel made this sweet poll so go vote! And it's fun to see the names other people have come up with.

We get to find out the answer in 2 weeks!

Big News!

Stop. I'm not pregnant. My sister is!

Hooray! Megan and Daniel are expecting offspring October 20 (I believe). They told the Perkins clan a couple months ago via video chat. Isn't technology great? My parents just sat there and grinned...looking a little stunned. Meganiel (Megan+Daniel) showed us a picture of the little critter, and I don't remember exactly how burgers came up (probably something "the baby was craving") but this is the drawing I did for them out of my excitement. If you look closely, you can see it started off with a tail, but then Megan said it has toes, so I had to add them on there. Most of them anyway :)

We were all sworn to secrecy, but from what I hear, ahem, I'm the only one who didn't tell a directly related-to-Megan person. I was really excited so I told people at work. And the Frisbys. Do you know how hard it is to not immediately share that news on Facebook?! It's exciting! First grandbaby on the Perkins side. So Daniel broke the silence a couple days ago. I guess he was tired of explaining why Megan has been puking so much and why her bras are all too small now or why she's been eating so many bean burritos. (Hahahaha...there's nothing better than embarrassing a sibling on the web.)

So...I think it's probably a girl. And in honor of the Twilight series, they should name her Janstine (Jan+Christine). Or maybe Chrisjan, because it sounds like Christian, but it spelled different. That reminds me...here's the latest installment of...

Rexburg baby names!

You're so vain. You probably think this post is about you.

I never know what I should write about. Mainly because the things I want to write about are all about church or work or family...and that's a little risky, don't cha think? Not like everyone I go to church with or work with or who is related to me reads this blog, but that doesn't mean they couldn't. And I guess I worry about looking unrighteous or unprofessional or unloving.

Plus we haven't had cable in over a year. So I can't talk about "fictional" people. Although you can't really avoid seeing Heidi Montag's man mug on the web. (Challenge: type "he" into google and see if her name isn't in the top 5 helper topic things)

The only one safe is Grizzly. Griz is my BFF, but you already knew that, and if I write any more than that you'll all stop reading forever.

I guess it would be safe to just say nice, non-offensive and pointless things about everyone and everything. But. Not when there's cold weather in May. Boo.

I think what AJ and I need is to get away for a while —where— I don't know. Any suggestions?

Sick of snow

Come on, Utah. Ever notice that while it's snowing today, NO one's out building snow men? No one throws on coats and gloves and heads out to play. No. We are annoyed, because it is now officially Spring, and Winter is OVER!

It puts me in a bad mood when my "plans" get messed up. My plan was to get going with the new planter box we bought. I've been in the mood to learn all about growing stuff, and to start planting my vegetable seeds. (I'm convinced that's the only way to ensure I'll cook with that food group). It's time for sun and warmth and for my tulips and grass to grow again. I mean, Grizzly just got a hair cut for crying out loud! Utahns: Is it like this EVERY year? It's totally unfair. It snowed ALL day today. And it was the kind that shot at you sideways. Thank goodness I had my umbrella to hold at a 30 degree angle so I could protect my face from the wrath of the whipping snow flakes.

The other crappy thing about crappy weather? Crappy internet connection! For some reason (please comment and enlighten me, nerds) whenever the weather is bad, our internet doesn't want to work. I don't mind the effect it has on my Farmville activity so much, but we don't have cable (it's been over a year now) and I'm TRYING to get caught up on The Office! It kind of kills the punchline when the video is cutting in and out. Example: Tha...tswhatshe...eee...said.

Ranting aside, call up Tyra, because in other news: A photographer wants to shoot me. That's a good thing right? Ha! Shoot...get it?

Really?

The Eclipse trailer sucked. Big time. I'm not posting the link. I'd like to think that's a pre-teaser trailer and not the real thing because there is nothing exciting about it at all. Boo.

Funny video of the week

I just finished drying my eyes after watching this, I laughed so hard. There are some other videos like it, but we decided this Airedale is just too perfect.

This post doesn't count as me writing about my dog, although it does remind me that he needs a haircut.

:)
