Blueberry Pie

I tried my hand today at making a homemade blueberry pie. It was so pretty when it came out of the oven...perfectly brown on top and smelling like perfection. I almost took a photo of it b/c I knew it would be the best thing since sliced bread. After letting it cool down a bit, I decided to try my masterpiece. I guess there's a reason the recipe recommended fresh blueberries instead of frozen :(

I'm wondering if anyone else had childhood memories of the Charles Chips delivery truck.
Forget the good ol' days of having milk and ice dropped at your front door...we had potato chips. They were delivered to our house in this cool tin each month, and I happened to see one in Cracker Barrel over the weekend (mmmm, mmmmm chicken n dumplins).

Parking Spaces

Yesterday was a momentous occasion...I met Jodi at Babies R Us to weigh the pros and cons of the million and one bottles, and I actually parked in the "Expectant Mothers Only" parking space by the front. Yes, I could have parked one space over and walked those extra 3 steps, but I was tired and frankly I'll take all the perks I can get :) I mostly just parked there b/c I thought it would be amusing.

On another note, I had Mexican for dinner, and a milkshake from Chick-fil-A. I guess that qualifies as the worst (or best b/c it was good) I've eaten since I've been pregnant.

Petapalooza

The monkey and I went for a little adventure to the Town Center Park in Suwanee on Saturday with Sandy (thanks for the photo from your cool new phone!) There were hundreds of dogs there, and I don't think Diamond particularly enjoyed it. I was greatly amused though...mostly at seeing how much everyone treats their pets like babies, but I'm certainly not one to talk. :)

Photos

Yikes, it's been a while since my last post. Here's the quick update:

I'm 20 weeks pregnant and due Sept 24 with a baby boy!!! I had the ultrasound last Monday and everything looks good. I can't wait to meet this little guy.

And for those who are bored to tears by ultrasound photos, I also added some more amusing ones. I was going through some old boxes of photos today and came across my top 3 best snapshots ever...

Tunes

So I don't know why I'm on Kroger kick today, but I happened to go to the store (perhaps motivated by their stellar ad??) a few minutes ago. As I meandered through the aisles I nearly laughed out loud at their horrible and very loud music selection. From Tina Turner to Michael Bolton, the hits just kept on spinnin'. Muzak would have been prefrred.

New Life Essentials

Remember the good ol' days when local grocers advertised the essentials--bread, milk, meat?

Well, apparently the basics have changed a bit in "these modern times" as Richard's former students loved to say.

I couldn't help but laugh at the Kroger ad pop-up on http://ajc.com/ today. Their big sale is for the following: Coke, bananas, pizza and bacon. I found that rather amusing.
