The Most Amazing Thing Ever...

I witnessed birth on October 28th. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I think it was better than Cirque. :) Jack Elliot Pritchard was born weighing 7 pds, 12 oz (something like that). I was actually in the room when he was born...actually I was in the delivery room just after she got her epideral and onwards. It was amazing. And I've always heard that babies are sort of alien looking when they come out...cone shaped, and perhaps a bit different colored...nope. He was perfect from the moment he came out. And he didn't come out screaming...he came out wimpering...kind of like a puppy. I think that's going to be my nickname for him. He'll be my puppy. I can't wait to see him again. I'll post some pics. (Born to my best friend Chelsea, and her husband....in case you didn't get that with the last name).

Ok, Blogger won't let me upload any photo's just yet...not sure why..but I'll try to remember to do it in the next few days.

A lot of different things...

I don't feel well. I'm not sure if I've got a migrane, I'm getting sick, or I'm hungry. I took a bath about 35 seconds after walking in the door after work today. It made me feel better for about 2 minutes and I'm not feeling well again. I'm glad we have no plans tonight.

Craig - in your blog, I was going to type that I felt bad about your fish, and that its a good thing you didn't have to deal with him jumping out in front of you and figuring out how to pick up a floppy fish. Nasty! That happened to me once...thank goodness not my fish, and thank goodness someone else was there. Gees.

I've been sleepwalking lately. 3 times at least in the past week. (that I remember) . On the most severe of the 3, I almost left our condo in my tank-top and panties. That could have been interesting. I remember standing at the door and unlocking it...and then thinking....I can do this in the morning. (I was going to get something...I think). Anyway, that's kinda fun.

No Baby for Chelsea yet. She's due on Tuesday. YEAH!!!

I met one of the coolest people I've met in a long while today. He wrote up an insurance policy with me. He is a caucasian man, and became a muslim about 13 years ago. He's about....28...very cool. He wrote a book...and told me all about it. it sounds interesting. he brought me coffee. I want us to become friends with him. He seems really cool, but said he's kinda lonely cause he just moved here, and doesn't have any friends. I hope we can be friends with him.

I better go. My hubbys here, and I need to get some babied, cause I'm sick.

Blogger hates me

I think Blogger hates me. A couple weeks ago, I was certain I'd posted something on Crystal's blog. No such luck...somehow it didn't work. Then today, I tried to post something to Craig's blog...same deal. Didn't work...um...weird. I thought they were fool proof. Oh well. No special little notes for them I guess. Also, I've tried posting a few times lately, only to find out the Blogger is mysteriously down, or something weird. Oh well.

I'm hungry and forgot to take anything out of the freezer for dinner. OOps. Bad wife. I guess we'll have to go out for dinner, or eat carrots and rice. Mmmmm...carrots and rice.

We get to babysit for our adorable nieces on Saturday. I'm excited. (Eden to left, and Vienna bottom). Aren't they precious?Mmmm...

Nothing overly exciting in our lives at this point...we created our Operation Christmas Child Boxes on Tuesday. It was a blast. What a fun project. Check out the link if you like to donate things (especially for Christmas). Its so heartwarming to know that you are helping someone.

Anyway...I'll try to think up something exciting. I'm too hungry right now.

The Epidemic in my World

It has been becoming more and more aware the the epidemic in my world is Cancer. I do not have cancer, but I have had so many people around me lately that have gotten cancer, or know someone who has cancer...it freaks me out. Do we spend enough time or money researching this horrible disease and finding any way possible to avoid it?

Recently I found out that one of my loved ones is being tested for Leukemia. Then today, I heard from a friend who I have not spoken with in nearly 6 months, and he told me that he was diagnosed in December with terminal cancer. Dispite all odds, (it was 100% positive that he had between 6-12 months to live) he is now in remission, after undergoing some extenive treatment. Then I was talking to my Dad today (my step-mom was diagnosed in September of 2005 with Breast Cancer, and is also now in remission) and a man in my Step-Mom's suppost group went back into the hospital today...the outcome for him is expected to be fatal. And likely very shortly. Apparently my step-mom was talking to him today, and expects this to be the last conversation. I guess this man was telling her that he was so tired of fighting, and the pain was so bad... then Chelsea's Dad lost his battle with Cancer this past summer....as did Troys Uncle Lee. I am depressed today with how this disease has taken hold of this world. How awful.

I'm kinda depressed about this today.

WOW

Cirque…wow, it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.  I went, not knowing what to expect…but I sat for most of the show with my jaw hanging in my lap…or my hand grasping Troy’s hand hardly breathing.  It was incredible.  I would like to watch that forever.  I left thinking the human body was gorgeous…I left wanting to be an acrobat. 

 

The Stones concert, also incredibly amazing.  Mik Jagger was running all over the stage…I was thoroughly impressed.  How old is that guy anyway?  It was a great concert, I was dancing the night away with half of Regina.  The long road-trip was also so enjoyable.  The ride home Troy and I had long chats. It is so good to be married to my best friend. 

 

Life is still a whirlwind.  Tonight we are having a home night…dinner…and lounging.  Should be fun.  We have been so busy, there has been no time for that. 

 

I need to get back to work now.

The LONG Road-trip

I know Tasha & Jason have a LONG roadtrip this weekend too...ours is 9 1/2 hours each way. BOO. It'll be worth it, but that's a LONG time. Good thing we have loads of entertainment. We had an ipod adaptor installed into our car Thursday so we have loads of tunes. We also have a portable DVD player, and bought an adaptor so that we can hear the sound through the speakers in the car. That way the person driving doesn't have to have headphones on cause its so quiet. So we like to watch movies while driving...or rather the person not doing the driving does.

Troy is loading up the car right now, and we're waiting on our soon to be friend Jenn (we've only met her once, so I'm not sure she's a friend just yet, but I'm sure by the time the weekend is over, she will be) and then we're on our way. I'm sleepy, but kinda excited!

In case you've forgotten, we are going to Regina to see the ROLLING STONES! How cool. I think it will be an event we'll remember for a long time. I'm excited about it. I'll try to take lots of pictures....not sure where our seats are, but eitherway.

I better get ready to go. :)

CIAO!
