Just feel like writing...
I really don't have anything significant to say, but I kind of feel like I do. Good times, good times. I'm actually feeling okay today. I went to bed super late, but I feel alright. It also helps that the day has been going by pretty quickly. Also, I'm pretty stoked about the keyboard tray I had installed on my desk. XD It already feels much better, and it helps me to sit with better posture. Woohoo! No carpal tunnel for me! Also, my thermometer came in. :3 I have mixed feelings, lol. Part of me

Just some babble.
I've again made some adjustments to my diet (diet as in what I eat, not diet as in what I am doing to lose weight since I am definitely not trying to lose). --For lunches, I will be packing more tuna sandiches (light chunk on yummy 22-grain whole wheat) and green leafy salads. Yum! I was never, ever a tuna fan growing up, but I've learned to like it within the past year or so. Gotta get my good fish servings in! We don't eat a whole lot of fish at home, but when we do, it's usually salmon. Salmon

Hoping for Happy Endings...
So today I am trying to keep my spirit's up, after my little rant on yesterday's post. I also talked to DH this morning about possibly waiting a year to buy and renting instead. He was semi-agreeable to it... actually more agreeable to discussing it further and doing some research about sitting down with our finances. So i guess we'll see what happens. All of this was fine and dandy til it struck me with the one BIG reason of why I wasn't considering renting... Scooter and Rio (OK, actually maybe

Seriously, I love my husband.
So like yesterday, I have BOTB like woh today. It's just really neat because now, I am feeling a lot of anticipation. This will sound corny, but my heart keeps fluttering at the thought of discovering we're expecting (and I've been examined many times--it's not a murmur! ^.~). I checked last night to see if I was on my last pack or if I had one left, and I do have one left. I've kept thinking about it, and I very shyly emailed my husband today (no prviacy here!) asking him if it would be okay if

Can't focus!
So after dinner last night, I was talking with my husband about how I'm worried that the new school won't necessarily do the business we're hoping to do and that we'll basically never be able to have a baby because I don't want to be working full time as the breadwinner after the baby is born. Suddenly, as though a light bulb had finally clicked (it takes blondes awhile), an idea came to me for a sort of backup plan if all else failed. It's basically the reverse of any other back-up plan we've thought

A Baby Filled Weekend
This saturday was my friend j's baby shower. It was sooo nice, her sister did a lot of the planning and decorating and really outdid herself. It was actually probably the biggest shower i've ever been to (italian family) and the food was excellent. j looked adorable, love her baby bump, and there were 5 other pregs women there! all in different stages of pregnancy! it definitely made me want to be preg, but all in due time! She got such adorable stuff... even though she isn't finding out what the

Good Friday and Easter
The weekend was interesting, to say the very least. My husband and I went to the Good Friday service at our church. It wasn't anything particularly special, but there was one part of the message that really hit home with me and was exactly what I needed after some recent struggles. Pastor Brent spoke partly on the idea of suffering for Christ and taking joy in it. Being a devout Christian for many years now, I had always equated suffering for Christ with "real" suffering, like missionaries do in

Aching Heart
Man, what a day so far. This morning, I went to go put my lunch bag in the fridge at work. There's one lady here who, as I learned this morning, is due in 4-weeks, and she was in the refresh area chatting with some others about it. I thought about how I long for the point where it's almost baby time for us, but I'm cool, I'm cool... So I was cool until about 10 minutes ago. One of the higher-ups in our department brought his family in, which includes a 7-week old. I haven't gone over there to see

A Bit of Randomness for a Friday
Let's start out cheery. On Wednesday, I went to church to see what the Jr. High Youth Group was like, to see if it really is my calling since being recruited at the Women's Breakaway last Saturday. My goodness, it's either that 7th and 8th grade is a whole different ball game now, or MN and OH are seriously that different. I think it's a little bit of both. But anyway, even with just a group of ten girls, it was just insane seeing how different their personalities were. I am "gifted" with a seriously

Oh, Happy Day!
I've turned my husband into a Johnny Depp fan. I feel victorious. When Sweeney Todd hit theaters, I had mentioned to him that I really wanted to see it, but I knew we'd be wasting money and that he'd just fall asleep. Thus, I've waited patiently for him to... acquire it with Korean subtitles. Last night, he suddenly felt compelled to download it. We just watched it a bit ago, and even once we reached the end, he wasn't so sure he liked it. Once we started delving deeper into what its message was

The "New" Me
Wow, this healthy stuff is crazy! Since my last health-related post, I haven't really changed my eating habits, but I have added some stuff. I guess that might be considered changing, but that's beside the point. I eat some really nutrient-packed cereal in the morning with my orange juice, and since I eat a later lunch, I have a mini snack of some yogurt. I also munch on my broccoli and whatever the fruit du jour is for me. The result? I don't crave my cookies and chocolates as much anymore. I honestly

"I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You"
I had a baby dream last night. All I remember was seeing our baby's beautiful face and the notion of showing him/her to others. For once, I had a relatively normal, happy dream. My husband and I are in the process of basically planning a mini anniversary trip. Thankfully, the 4th of July is on a Friday, so we'll naturally get a long weekend. I figure that if we start planning now, we can beat some of the major cost hikes, but we'll see. We've been wanting to go to SD to see Mt. Rushmore, but we're

All Sorts of Self-Proclaimed Crazy
OK, so this is different from a post a few months back regarding being ready to check myself into the Looney Bin. (Though I did have some wiggy dreams last night, including one of my old Japanese teacher, who I haven't seen or heard from in quite some time, teaching drunk...) I'm not really crazy, but some people might think I'm...excessive. Maybe. In order to not obsess over, "Wah, I want a baby now," I have shifted my focus to getting my body good and ready to have a baby when our time comes. Food-wise,

Goo
Pascual said "goo" for the first time this morning. I half expected him to repeat it and then have "gaga" follow. Let the cooing continue. WE went to church this morning, as service was getting over I threw a blanket over his carseat to deter people from touching him. It worked out pretty well. I felt kind of bad because I know people like seeing babies and I would pull it back for them to see him if people came over. But I just wanted them to keep their hands off. Brian said they probably thought

Random Lunch Musings
My husband is short of seriously never checking the mail again. He doesn't want to feel disappointment every single time he opens the mailbox, so he's starting to leave it to me (gee, thanks!). I don't mind it, but I obviously share the same emotions with him. I called immigration on Tuesday, thanks to them having a nice holiday on Monday (don't get me started), and I was told exactly what I knew I would be told: keep waiting. At least everything is still fine. We're not stuck in name check or anything,

A Good Weekend
I feel really good today. Our weekend started off a little rough, but we got over it and have been having a great time just relaxing and spending time with one another. I had typed up a post on Friday because I was feeling down, but then my comptuer decided it didn't want to cooperate anymore. I still have the post, but I haven't published it yet. I'll post some highlights from it for now, though: -My job is going very well. It's still very hard for me to get up so early, but my husband joked with

Baby Dream and Plan Updates
I dreamt of our baby last night. My dreams switch from having a baby girl first to having a baby boy first. ^^;; Anyway, this one featured our baby girl. At one part I was pregnant; the next part, I'm walking into a store of sorts, holding our baby and sticking my finger in her mouth to get her to open it to try to latch her on for breastfeeding. I wasn't trying to feed her, so I have no idea why I did that. XD Anyway, I just walked around the store with her and showed her lots of baby things, such

The Last Two Hours--Him: Cars. Me: Babies
Seriously! We had what we would classify as a busy Sunday, so when we came home, all we both wanted was computer time to ourselves. He's been looking at cars for the past couple of hours (we're looking to get a second car since my new job complicates things), while I've been reading up on tips for preparing to TTC, tips for TTC, pregnancy suggestions and goodies on bringing baby home. My biological clock's alarm is going off big time today! Before we got married, we said we'd like to be married for

Hellooo~, 2008!
First off, Happy New Year! We celebrated by spending some time at my family's house last night for our "traditional" family food fest (lol) and by spending the better portion of our day today at my former Korean professor's house (whose daughter was our flower girl) for a more traditional Korean celebration. It's definitely been a much better start than last year. We brought in the year with great timing, actually! Before it reached midnight, we sat down together to share with one another the promises

Hope for the New Year
Our year started off horribly. I am really excited going into this new year, though. There will be lots of changes, but we are growing closer through each one--just how it should be. ^^;; For Christmas, one of the gifts I gave to my husband was something I already have, but in his native language-- The Five Love Languages and The Five Languages of Apology . We are starting with the first one, and even though we've only read and chatted about the first chapter, it's already helping us to understand
