In the famous words of Kermit the Frog...
... "It's not easy being green." Alan and I just found out that we are expecting our third child in October. Somewhere around the 11th to be exact. Which means that as I type this I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant and trust me..I'm feeling it. I threw up for the first time today though I have been nauseous 24/7 for well over a week. I hate throwing up, but then I guess I don't know anyone who really enjoys it. The good news is that I am experiencing MUCH LESS morning sickness with this baby than I did with both of my daughters. With the first one I was sick 24/7 for about 5 months to the point where the Dr. was worried about my weight gain...or should I say lack thereof. With the second one it was a little better...but I still wanted to paint a face in the bottom of the toilet for company. And let's not even talk about food cravings! OMG! I knew I was pregnant again when I found myself craving asparagus casserole in the car one afternoon. I'm really not all that crazy about the stuff on a normal day! LOL With my girls, I craved bland foods...pastas with a good cream-based sauce, and fresh fruits and veggies. NOT THIS TIME! Oh no...in the past several days I have scarfed down chili cheese dogs with extra onions, chinese food, mexican food, anything spicy with strong flavor. Right now I could really go for some Tostidos scoops and hot bowl of Velveeta and Rotel dip! So what do you think? boy or girl?

Monkey in the Middle
I am in the process of "cleaning up" my links on my sidebar. Trying to delete some old links that are no longer in service, and am looking for some fresh new blogs to add. In the middle of all my craziness that is going on this month with work, family, etc., I am trying to uphold my duty as a blogger. LOL ! So if you wish to be one of the "monkeys in the middle" of my crazy life and I haven't added a link to your blog on my site yet...leave a comment or zap me an email and I'll get to it asap. Thanks to all who frequent this little neighborhood.
Love to all!
Love to all!

It's Been a While
Geez, I didn't realize it had been so long since I had last posted on this thing. I am constantly busy with my ever-growing Avon business. Partly my sales...but more, the administrative work I have taken on as an assistant to my DSM. I'm really enjoying the relationships I have formed by participating. There have been changed in my personal life as well. I am still debating whether or not to post about these changes as I'm not sure whether or not any of my family actually reads or knows about this blog. I have a feeling that my Aunt J...possibly may read...but I'm pretty sure no one else does. The few relatives that may be reading, I wouldn't mind knowing what I post. But then I don't know how effective it would be to "yell" : IF YOU ARE RELATED TO ME AND READ THIS BLOG...EMAIL ME OR POST A COMMENT PLEASE?!?! Guess I'll give it a shot and find out. Haha! Anyway, per Dawn's request, here are my answers to the latest "quiz" circulating through the blog world.
