"are you pregnant?"

In the past week, I've been asked this question FOUR TIMES. 

 But it's always after I say stuff like, "I've just been so exhausted lately!" or "I'm just ravenous like, all the time!" so I'm hoping that means people aren't asking because they think I'm getting fat or something (because I don't feel like I am, and we're all our own worst critics, right? So I would think I'm getting fat before other people would think so, right??)

 Anyways. I just think it's funny how it's happened more times this week than in all in the rest of the one year, eight months that I've been married. Not that it bothers me. Some people get so bugged by that question, because it's really personal or something, but not me. I don't find too many things to be too personal. Just funny :)

 But just for the record, I'm not.

 So I guess I just need more sleep and snacks in my life to keep me from saying I'm-such-a-pregnant-lady things.

    I'll never forget feeling so healthy after running my first half-marathon, and that very day being asked if I were pregnant. People really just shouldn't ask. Now I'm only 17 weeks along, and already I get comments like, "Well from the looks of it, it's safe for me to ask now...are you pregnant?" I'm not sure that's any better than getting the question before you're actually pregnant. Maybe I do tae things too personally, but it's like they're still saying, "you're huge!" but trying to be PC about it. Oh well :)

      Haha yeah, it's pretty crazy how people think they can just ask a question that implies a whole lot of things no one should want to be implying! But don't worry, you're a cute pregnant lady, not huge :)

    As if you've been asked that four times in the last week! I wonder if it's because people think you'd start trying right after getting married. We get asked when we're going to get preggers all the time (fortunately no direct are you actually pregnant right now inquiries) and I'm like calm down, it's been a year! When I get frustrated though I just tell myself it's because people care. I guess when you start craving pickle ice cream combos, that's when they'll know! hehe

      Haha well luckily, it doesn't frustrate me, I just think it's funny how it happened so many times in one week :) And I also think everyone close to me knows I've wanted to get pregnant for like 6 months now (but I'm waiting a little bit so I don't have a baby before I graduate in December) so they're always just wondering if it's finally happened haha :)

our first murder mystery

Image
A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

it's a love story {part 5}

This series is turning into a novel! So if you don't want to read  part 1 ,  part 2 ,  part 3 , or  part 4 , I wouldn't blame you. But if you do, there you go :) Part Five - First Date . . . or Second? When we last left off, Russ and I were finally interacting more and we both knew that we liked each other. But he still hadn't asked me on a date! But sometime in early December, he finally remedied that. On a Thursday, he asked me if I would go stargazing with him on the coming Sunday evening. I was super excited :) But in the meantime, he kind of asked me on a different first date, but I didn't really know it. He texted me on Saturday morning, asking if I wanted to go on "a walk" with him. Fully loving every minute spent with him, I readily agreed! But let's be clear--it wasn't a walk. It was a hike. Which isn't a big deal, except that hiking through rocky places requires different shoes than those used to walk on the nicely paved sidew
