Top 2 Tuesday and a Short Story ...

Happy Tuesday loves!  I hope you're all recovering quickly from springing back into work from a holiday weekend.  I can't say that I sympathize with you since I'm no longer employed and on the SAHW team, BUT I can remember how it feels to come back after a holiday since my working career lasted on the better end of close to 7 years and what I remember is, it sucks.  Thankfully the fact that it's a 4 day week usually kicks into gear around Wednesday however, it makes for a long SUCKY week next week when you have to endure the full 5.  All this is to say, I FEEL for you friends!  What did I do today?  Well, I'm house/dog-sitting for my parents so I rolled out of bed at about 8am (after waking up at 6am to let two very anxious to tinkle labradors out to potty) and watched TV fell back asleep until about 10, ate some lunch and then went to get a pedicure and eyebrow wax.  Which brings me to the short story.  The sweet little Vietnamese girl (and I do mean girl, she must've been 17) asked me to pick out my polish for my toes (which, bytheway, I went with the trendy summer yellow that OPI's been putting out.  I was afraid it was going to look like my toes were producing a gross yellow fungus but it actually turned out pretty cute!) and then she came back somewhat annoying me because I had had a total of 50 seconds to look over the color choices and asked me if I was ready and I shot her a highly irritated look told her almost but not yet.  She then says (looking at my belly) "Ohhh, is it a boy or a girl?" to which I respond, "What do you MEAN?  I'm not pregnant?!?"  Oh that poor girl.  I've never seen someone's eyes get so wide or face become so horrified as did that girl's.  Don't worry, I'm not completely horrible, I quickly told her I was kidding and that it was, in fact, a boy BUT for a brief moment I think she was contemplating running for the nearest exit or flinging herself behind the largest customer in the nail salon.  I know.  I should be shot.  And let's not leave out the fact that I was THRILLED that a stranger finally aluded to the fact that I was pregnant.  I'm sure my payback from now on will be people walking up to me, handing me Jenny Craig fliers and telling me that "It can work for me too", but I definately got a little chuckle (at someone else's expense ... maybe I should take a parenting class or 12 before the kiddo gets here ...) today ...

Okay now, on to play Top 2 Tuesday.  I've never played before, but as of late I've been INCREDIBLY boring notsomuch busy and haven't had a whole lot of interesting to blog about.  Enter Top 2 Tuesday!

Today's topic is ...

 Top 2 Purchases Made This Year

Um.  Is it sad that this was not an easy answer for me?  After 1 - becoming pregnant (i.e. start saving for the fact that we have another mouth to feed coming) and 2 - getting laid off the whole "purchasing" idea isn'tsomuch on the forefront of importance right now.  BUT I will have to say that number 1 ...

Any and ALL things maternity would definately be on the fore front.  Pants with panels?  Need I say more ...

{Sexy can I?}

Number 2 (also dealing with maternity but not in an "apparel" sort of way) would be my Boppy Pregnancy Body Pillow.  You know, cause sleeps kinda important when you're GROWING a person inside of it and it tends to be the hardest to come by the larger and more uncomfortable you become ...

{Poor Mister.  He barely fits in the bed now because of my new boyfriend pillow}

So there you have it.  Not too exciting eh?  Well that's what happens when you're 5 months preggers and growing by the minute ...

Have great rest of your days loves!!!  This blogging in the afternoon bidness is weird ... apparently I'm UBER busy in the mornings being a SAHW ... Right.
