thanks to my dad and his garage sale savviness i now own "buns of steel pregnancy workout". not quite the prego yoga i've been doing, but maybe it's time to shake things up. :)
erik thinks i should also point out that game days are not "sigh worthy" as i said since i get to babysit on them and get paid in spa certificates. he's right. i sighed because i don't understand "gameday people".
the nice boys at fairway ordered me turkey drumsticks. yum! i'm currently baking them to go with mashed potatoes and gravy. i've never baked a bird. we'll see how this turns out...
we went to the orchard today with the meyers' to pick apples and a pumpkin. i love squeezing pumpkin guts between my fingers. fun, fun, fun! we took the van off-roading on accident. one wrong turn had us up a sideways hill. the nice old tractor ride driver almost had a heart attack after being made aware of the path we'd taken through the orchard! poor guy! poor me! poor elijah! he wasn't even in a carseat! we survived though and rachel made the most amazing hot chocolate ever to end our adventure with. :)

sigh... game day comes again!

yes, John, I'm listening. you're both kinda wrong.
here we go... Inara is pronounced as follows:

"in" as in phonetically spelled names should not be difficult to pronounce! :)
"ar" as in "are" you guys kidding me?
"a" as in "uh" why is this so difficult for you?
Inara. hope that helps!


this post was written with the input of my bratty husband Erik (pronounced "eric"). :)

it's a girl! we had another ultrasound yesterday and now we can buy pink. :) not that our sons couldn't wear pink, but that's an argument for another day! we're naming her: Inara Kathryn Grace. yay, for us!

on to an equally important topic: iowa city is WAYYYYYYY too obsessed with their sports teams for their own freakin' good. they have sunk to a level not shared with any other town to my knowledge. we went and filled a prescription for me last night. as erik was getting a pill out for me i commented that they were the ugliest colors i'd ever seen on a capsule. i'm so innocent... my dear husband than pointed out that they were hawkeye colors! are you kidding me?!?!?! nope. welcome to the first football homegame weekend of the school year. your pills will now come in back and gold. pathetic...
