1. Twilight-
So I am a literary snob and refuse to read something because it is popular, or part of a series. Sorry everyone else in the world. Someone find me a good memoir or history please! Somebody suggested the series as a gift for me to Jake- he laughed and told them he is more likely to read them than I- and he is right.
2. Suze Orman-
So we are in economic turmoil, this makes me depressed, lets add the most annoying personality ever commenting on it every time I open a magazine or turn on the television to it.
3. Flat Tires-
Sunday was the third flat tire we have had in six months. We have purchased so many new tires it is getting ridiculous. Why don't the builders around here clean up after themselves or at least have to be held accountable for all the time and money we are spending at Big O'.

Bond, Kate Bond
So I haven't posted for some time. We haven't really been that busy, just tired. I don't remember being so uncomfortable and tired at 27 weeks last pregnancy. Even Jake who usually has the opinion that blogs are silly, commented that it had been a while since I had something new up. I don't have much new to post about. Most days I don't even talk to an adult until Jake comes home at 5:30 or we run an errand and talk to the checker. It is pathetic since I still have 13 more weeks and it is not even snowing yet. Most days I don't even see the news or a morning show either so I really have no grasp on what is going on in the real world. Sounds pretty sad, but really Kate is entertainment enough for me lately. She is really into climbing. I followed her into the laundry room the other day, so see this.
just yesterday she got stuck trying to bridge a three foot gap between her bed and dresser. I heard her screaming and went in to her room to find her doing a push up with her arms on the dresser and feet still touching the bed. She had to have been like that for a few minutes- it was very James Bond, and one of her favorite things to do it to climb on the coffee table and use my legs as a bridge to get on the couch. How early do they let you sign your kids up for gymnastics anyway?
Other than that she has been doing some reading- seen here reading "Alaaah and Abu"- Aladdin and Abu, a new favorite with a fruit roll up in hand. It hardly gets better than that. We have been thinking what fun it would be to take her to Disneyland, but the soonest we see ourselves getting there is Jan or Feb, and going 4 weeks from delivery just doesn't sound fun. I guess it will be a while, in the mean time, I think Kate would have almost as much fun at the Disney store. She is so obsessed with the Little Mermaid, Aladdin and well any other movie she has seen with cartoon characters and singing. When she is not wanting to eat, all I have to do is pull out the Disney princess Spagettio's or Soup and she will eat the entire can. Not to mention she tries to put on her Ariel socks everyday by getting them out of the dirty clothes.
I thought this was a funny moment as well. Jake is on the other side of the table reading the paper too. Kate has the Kings Christmas ad, she kept saying "Hallowee", she hasn't quite got that we have changed holidays and now decorations are for Christmas. She does have her "Gobble Gobble" down for Thanksgiving though. Sadly she does the "Gobble" sound even when I say turkey as we eat it.

Too Funny!
Kate makes us laugh every single day, usually just because she is silly or cute. But at not even 19 months old she has made up her own joke. It is pretty funny and she thinks so too. My sister Ali was over last week, Kate was naming Mama and Dada, then we asked her who the other person was. She knows Ali's name, but for some reason said "Grandgra"- the name for Grandma or Grandpa. We all laughed really hard. For a while after this each time we would ask "who is that" she would look at us, get a clever little grin on her face and shout "Grandgra" and start to laugh. You could just see her little mind at work- now which one is the right answer and which one makes everyone laugh. It is pretty funny calling someone a grandma when they aren't and she figured that out quickly. Hilarious!
