Stolen Survey

My back is sooooooo hurting right now. I tried doing the stretches my chiropractor gave me to do. I think she secretly wants to kill me.

I’ve been craving canned Ravioli for like a week. Maybe it’s my first real pregnancy craving? Because I haven’t had this stuff since I was a kid. So I bought a couple of cans of the low-fat organic healthy version and I’m eating a can of it right now for dinner. It’s just not the same. It’s leaving me want to drive to the store right now to get some Chef BoyRD (I know that’s not spelt right, but I’m too lazy to actually find out how to spell it. 😉 )

Ten Things I wish I could say to ten different people right now

1) I am so proud of you and what you did in the short time you had on this planet. You are literally a hero. I know we weren’t the closest friends but you will be in my heart forever.

2) I wish you could get better. I wish you didn’t have the disease you do. Ben needs you and I need you and I want our unborn child to have a chance to get to know you.

3) I just wish you’d listen to me once in awhile. I mean REALLY listen.

4) When I say I don’t understand something, or when I ask you a question, the incorrect response is to say, "I think you understand this just as well as I do." No. You’re training me. I asked you a question which means I don’t know the answer. Just f’ing answer it.

5) I appreciate and love you more every day.

6) I am terrified that something is going to go wrong with you. I’m afraid to be excited to meet you.

7) I just wish I meant more to you. I wish I was worth an email every once in awhile.

8) I wish I could see you more often. I don’t feel like I get enough time with you.

9) You are so awesome. I love spending time with you and I can’t wait to see you again.

10) I miss you. I wish you were here.

Nine things about myself

1) I’m a hypochondriac.

2) I wish I was a more interesting person.

3) I am seriously lazy.

4) I love Missy Higgins

5) I am terrible at sports.

6) I would be happy staying at home and reading all day.

7) I sing in the car everywhere I go – despite the looks people give me because they think I’m crazy.

8) I wish I had a dog.

9) I am afraid I won’t be a good mother.

Eight ways to win my heart

1) Do something nice for a stranger for no reason at all

2) Pick up a piece of trash off the street as you walk by and throw it away (and share my hate of litterbugs)

3) Be playful and happy no matter who is around

4) Smile and laugh often

5) Look at me like I mean something

6) Be honest with me

7) Have a kind, gentle heart

8) Like having a down day, to just lie around and be together

Seven things that cross my mind a lot

1) I hope everything is ok with the baby

2) I hope my back is suddenly ok for our trip

3) I’m hungry

4) I want to win the lottery

5) I wonder what Ben is doing

6) I wonder what Java and Mocha are doing

7) I’m hungry again

Six things I do before I fall asleep

1) Brush my teeth

2) Wash my face

3) Open the blinds in the bedroom (otherwise the cats will go up there and bang them around until I open them.)

4) Play Nintendo DS for a few minutes to unwind

5) Get up to get a glass of water

6) Get up to go to the bathroom one last time

Five people who mean a lot to me

1) Ben

2) My Parents (ha, I’m cheating by counting them as one. 😉 )

3) My brother

4) My Niece and Nephew (again with the cheating)

5) My Sister-in-law (again, I’m cheating because in my mind I’m including both sister-in-laws 😉 )

Four things I’m wearing right now

1) Sweatshirt

2) Socks

3) PJ pants

4) My glasses

Three songs I listen to often

1) The Battle by Missy Higgins

2) It’s Raining Again by Holly Brook

3) More Than This by Missy Higgins

Two things I want to do before I die

1) Have a family

2) Travel all over

One confession

1) Sometimes I’m unhappy with my life and I wish it was different. I wish I was talented and creative and successful and famous. But then I remember my amazing husband and what I would miss if I didn’t have everything that I have now. And then I’m content again. 🙂
