Recently On Vacation
One week off in medical school is such a tease.
You get a glimpse of what life would be like as a “normal” family and then it all goes back to studying on weekends and lugging the heavy car-seat by yourself.
At least I have this face to keep me company.

Recently Hopeful
The Hunger Games Blockbuster is right around the corner.
I was equal parts HYPED and SKEPTICAL.
Hyped because it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, skeptical because movies usually ruin it.
But then I read this interview with Jennifer Lawrence and it gave me hope.
Austin: Are you getting teary over that trailer again?
Me: It’s going to be SO GOOD.
Austin: It’s not going to be that good.
Me: It’s going to be amazing.
Austin: You need to go in with low expectations.
Me: I don’t think my expectations could be any higher.
FRIDAY!
PS: Rotten Tomatoes has given it a 100% Rating. I’m counting this as a marital win already.

Recently Upgraded
We’re getting a new mattress.
And not just any mattress, a KING SIZED mattress (for our king sized egos?).
It will certainly be an upgrade considering we’re currently sleeping on a $200 mattress, without a bed spring, on the floor. Kind of like camping.

If you are a parent or know a parent or are a human being who sometimes interacts with parents at the grocery store, you should probably read this:
It’s good, really good. It made me cry a little bit too, I don’t know why. Maybe because I see the person I once was and the mom I am now. Maybe because I know Waylon is going to be a handful and I can already see the awkward conversations I’ll have with people I love and people I just met about how I should probably not let him be a wild animal.
Anyways, read it now and thank me later.

Growing Plants From Kitchen Scraps
Basically you stick some toothpicks into an avocado seed and it turns into a beautiful houseplant. Aunt Shelah pinned it first. I have a hard time believing it’s going to actually work, especially given my history of black thumbs and a bad memory, but I persevere!
Want to fail with me? Here’s how.

Recently A Confession
I have not given that music video one thought.
I’ve been too busy focusing on Little City Radio, an adventure with my girl Carrie King. Anyways, you should probably listen and I should probably get started on that video.

And finally, our Friday Funny from the Internets
(Except It’s Monday And It’s Not Really That Funny)
A Video Of A Kitten Wearing A Leprechaun Hat
Cheers to a new week.

Thanks for linking to that “Judge Me, I Dare You” piece. I appreciate it. Maybe I’ll take out some of the swears and send it to some of the ladies at my church ;)
You can really grow a houseplant from an avocado seed? That is unbelievable. I’m going to try/fail it too!
I like the pregnancy video except she makes me jealous. At 9 months she was half the size I am at 8!
She’s on baby #1. You are on baby #3. YOU LOOK GREAT. I’m going to get this tattooed on your forehead. Won’t that be pretty?
I’m not complaining about weight…I’m complaining about uncomfortableness (is that even a word?).
Almost there! Let’s go jogging. Maybe that will help.
JOGGING?! Yeah right. I just tried digging some dirt and I got Braxton Hicks and my ankles doubled in size. Blech. So now I’m sitting and making cards. Much more my speed these days.
Could he be cuter???
Less screaming, then maybe yes?
HUNGER GAMES. Are you seeing it this weekend? Love the interview.
Friday night! We (friends and I) considered the midnight showing on Thursday night, but Waylon won that battle (he needs his nummies at night).
I’ve been listening to LCR all morning. Thanks! Love the soundtrack.
Peanut Butter Pie is one of my favorites. It’s so easy and delicious and awful for you. It’s perfect.
I liked that BlogHer article. I catch myself talking about my neighbors wild kids all the time, but realize that I have no idea what their home life is like or anything about their situation. It’s so easy to do it!
So easy to judge. Not so easy to be judged.
I love that picture of Austin and Waylon! Glad to hear you all had a good spring break together;)
KING SIZE MATTRESS. Co sleep for life? ;)
I’m growing an avacodo seed right now! Well, I’m trying. It got a little root and everything, but it’s been sitting like that for weeks and I’ve finally decided it’s dead. But my sister has one that’s about three feet tall now!
My gramma used to grow avocado seeds. I always thought it was weird…but now it looks kind of cool.
waylon gets cuter in every picture. his rolly little arms in the last picture are just so sweet.
that pregnancy video was awesome!
Loved the pregnancy video! It actually makes me miss being pregnant. Just a *tiny* bit.
And your husband sounds like me with The Hunger Games. I am going in with already low expectations. Then again I’m not that pumped about it but my hubby wants to see it so I’ll go with him :)
