Pat Tillman

I just discovered that Pat Tillman went to my high school (I think). Did you know that Christina? His wiki page just states that he was born in SJ but doesn't list his HS...

OK, just googled some more to find out YES, he went to Leland & he graduated in 93 which means we were there when he was...they have renamed the field after him. I'm going to go look in my yearbooks - which are sitting on my shelf up stairs...

OK, now it's just plain creepy.

I got a new shirt at Target the other day & I just tried it on & asked Matias what he thought of it...

..."it looks fabulous! It makes you look skinny"

WHAT THE???

Again with the husband...

...about 5 minutes after posting the Moment of Crap post, he walked into the kitchen & hugged me & said "why do you look so cute today??". And I'm wearing a t-shirt, jeans & my hair is pulled back with a headband.

I think I married the right guy.

Depressing thought for the day

I've been about 5 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight for a while now & I think I've finally accepted that I must have been a Fat Ass PRIOR to getting pregnant cause 5 lbs. cannot make this big (no pun intended) of a difference in my body.

I'm still a size larger in pants, shirts are about the same but I'm not doing myself any favors by wearing them too large, and the boobs have stayed Post Liam size and I think they are here for the duration.

I think my shape has just been altered quite a bit due to the C-Section since most of the added mass is in that area and is quite different in, hmmm, appearance than my normal Fat Ass. I know it's only 5 lbs. and I should be happy with that (and I am) but it really just dawned on me today that I must not have looked that good to begin with, you know? And I have water weight to thank for these thoughts mostly because now I bloat during ovulation, PMS & MS whereas before I never really did so that's like a whopping 2 weeks out of the month that I'm bloated & disgusting in appearance AND feeling.

And there's your Moment of Crap for the Day...

And sometimes my husband REALLY gets me.

I should have written about this when he gave me the gift but I have a number of excuses to give as to why I haven't & you don't want to hear those, you want to hear How My Husband Gets Me, don't you?!

I'm staring at the card, that I've taped to my monitor, the card that he made me to go with my most awesomest gift. It's got Nixon on the front with a reel-to-reel recorder and the words "On the Record". The inside reads "Jen, Thanks for being such a great mother to Liam & such a great partner in life to me. Don't ever stop being a geek! Love - Matias" AWESOME card, right??

What could my gift be??

It was an ashtray from the WATERGATE HOTEL!!!

They are revamping it into condos & auctioned everything off & my wonderful husband managed to snag me an ashtray!! It's silver pewter with the Watergate insignia in the middle and Watergate Hotel, Washington DC written around it!!!

You have no idea just how excited this gift made me :) I need to take a picture of it to show off it's awesomeness :) So sometimes Matias is romantic in our own What Makes Us Perfect For Each Other kind of way & it's most usually out of the blue, which is extra points in just about everyone's book!

I've got it up on my bookshelf standing in front of all my Nixon books, proudly displayed for me to see throughout my days. And also, please note, in between my Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil monkey candles :)
