More names…

Because his last suggestions weren’t enough, Kevin wanted to add the following to the list:

  • Morinda
  • Suri (seriously)
  • Tara
  • Molly
  • Dorinda
  • Belinda
  • DO YOU SEE A PATTERN HERE?

 

I think that I am once again going to have to pick the name of our child because this is getting ridiculous. Last night when he suggested the name Tracy, on the heels of just having suggested Tara, I asked him why he kept throwing out 80’s names. He told me I was being judgemental.

 

Anyway, we are back from vacation and it was amazing. I promise pictures later this week, my brain is still trying to put itself back in work mode right now. I can’t seem to leave the mountain air of Lake Tahoe behind. It might be one of the few places prettier than the landscape we call home in Carmel. The kids stayed with my Mom and they did amazing. They were actually sad to leave “Ammy’s” house, which has to be the sign of having a good time. Either that or they are going to miss the steady stream of rice krispy treats and popcorn. I made them both eat carrots with dinner last night, the looks on their sweet toddler faces were precious. Sort of like “Woman, what vile thing have you placed in our presence and can you possibly douse it in sugar?”

 

I will post a 15 week self portrait this week as well, even though I am now closer to 16 weeks. I swear my belly is huge! I look like I am 6 months pregnant, however I hear that is pretty normal with the third child. Let’s also hope that a post baby tummy tuck and boob job are considered normal as well…

Welcome to Texas y’all!

 

So, I am lucky enough to be in the great state of Texas this week for work. Well, not really lucky but hey, you have to keep a positive outlook right? I decided that while I’m here I should pick up the accent because everything sounds better in a southern drawl.

 

 For instance:

 

Oh darlin’ I love you but it just ain’t workin’ for me, ya’ll take care.

 

I mean, would you even know you were being broken up with? I think not. Anyway, as I sit in training all week, I am perfecting my southern lilt, sure to impress the waiters and waitresses each evening as we try new Texas fare. So far, I have been to a Texas Land and Cattle and a Chuy’s. Both very good, I think Chuy’s ranks a little higher for me because of the margherita’s. Everything tastes better with tequila y’all!

 

We are staying outside Austin in a town called Lakeline or Lakeport or Lakeland or something. Sad part is I have not seen a lake anywhere. It is foggy and dreary and I am missing my quaint little hometown - not to mention my babies! So much good stuff is going on at home with the new house that I hated to leave but work callls. Speaking of work, I have some exciting new opportunities coming up, two job interviews and a possible consulting gig and I am really, really hoping that one of these things pans out. It has been a while since I have enjoyed my job and I am feeling the need to be challenged again. So if you are of the praying sort, please do.

 

Later this week we are staying in downtown Austin near 6th Street. Those of you familiar with this part of the state - any suggestions? I would like to experience some Austin “weirdness” if at all possible. For those of you unfamiliar with Austin, apparently it is the most liberal town of the state and they fancy themselves to be like Santa Cruz - to which I say…I will believe that when I see it.

 

More to come from the great Country I mean state of Texas. In the meantime, catch y’all some shut eye, ya hear?
