Squee!! Excited and Trying to Contain it

First off, I know, I know. I am horrible at blogging. Maybe I need to make a reminder in my phone to write a new post every week. I have to start forming good habits...

Anyways... what am I so excited about you ask? Baby fever! But it's not really just me this time. Nigel has agreed that we can start trying to conceive if he gets promoted. We won't find out until August, but I am just squirming in my seat trying to control myself.

I asked my husband if he had a list of things he wanted to do before we had a baby and he said no, he doesn't think of babies that way. When I asked for clarification, he said that he doesn't really believe that babies prevent you from doing stuff that you want to do. I tend to agree with him. I feel bad for people that think of having children as a burden and a hindrance to their fun life. And I greatly respect those that include their kids in the things they find fun (of course I'm not talking drinking and partying hard). Around here in Colorado that includes things like camping, hiking, and other such outdoorsy stuff. For Nigel and I it would include trips to malls and bookstores... very child-friendly places. Nigel's only requirement for conception is that he get promoted in August.

Of course this just gives me opportunity to go crazy with baby fever again. I know it being based on him getting promoted is hardly definite, but because I don't fully understand the promotion process I'm just assuming it will happen. That, and usually things go pretty well for me when I'm positive. So if I keep working out and buy the healthy food that I need to start eating, I should have lost a good amount of weight by the time I'm ready to conceive. I want to get pregnant in November so my baby will be a Leo like me. I know that sounds horrible, but I think I just want my baby to be as close to like me as possible so I can teach him or her to be even better than I am.

I have been writing this post over too long a period of time and have lost my train of thought so I do not have a proper conclusion. I shall return with more random rantings I am sure at a later (well, hopefully sooner than later) date.

Old Ideas Coming Back

I was talking to Nigel and doing a little reading around the all-knowing and all-powerful Internet (All Hail). And I remembered an idea that I had back when I was in high school. I loved magazines, but I never subscribed to any because there wasn't enough in any of them that I could truly relate to. So I came up with the idea of starting a magazine for black teen girls. My mom thought it was a good idea, but like every idea I come up with, I didn't follow through. I couldn't think of a good name. But as I was reading an article on things that guys don't understand about women and reading some of the things off to my husband, he commented on some stuff that he doesn't understand. We realized that the concerns that he had that were not on the list were related to black women. I thought that maybe I should start up a site where black people could read about sexual and relationship concerns that they could relate to. Then I remembered my old idea about a magazine for b

Random Geekery #1

So I became something of an Etsy.com addict for like two days (bad attention span). I didn't buy anything, but I'm sure I browsed through the entire Geekery section. I saw SO many things that made me squee with geeky delight. Nigel laughs at me, but it's just me. I've always been a nerd, but I never really felt ostracized for it so I've never felt any need to feel ashamed of my geekiness. DH wasn't as fortunate because he was a black boy growing up in a big city... not a good place to be a nerd. So, while he retains much of his nerdy ways, he's not as open about it as I am. Which makes me wonder what path our child will take... I think Nigel is determined for them to be secretively nerdy. But I think it's more important to be whoever you are and fuck the people that don't like it. If you don't care, they don't. ANYways, I've decided that I'll find something geeky that I like and post it on here to get reactions, opinions, whatev. For

What is in a Name?

Yay! I came back to write another post before a month went by! I try to think of this as therapy, but I do still censor myself for fear of who might read it. But anyways, this is not a secret post. Last time I told you that DH (aka Gelly, he hates that) said we could start TTC if he gets promoted in August and that is his only criteria (whoo hoo! *fingers crossed*). I may or may not have told you that we've had our kids' names picked out almost since we got married (Aidan for boy, Raine for girl; I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this). I also may or may not have mentioned that I work at a child development center and am currently working on my own promotion (whoo hoo! with much less enthusiasm). Well, because I am what we call a "floater", I can be in any room depending on who called out or is on vacation. As a result, and because I'm just good at my job and have a memory like an elephant, I know every kid in the center and to tell you the truth, the three A
