It's a little early, but Happy Halloween everyone.
Forget "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and watch this instead:

I can't believe it's been over a year since I last posted a blog! A lot has happened since then. I've been busy with life and having too much fun.
I gave birth to my wonderful daughter on May 2, 2010. I shared the birth story in the Pregnant group but I'll repost it here in spoilers for anyone not a part of the group that really wants to know. Warning: it's lengthy and a bit...detailed.

Here's what she looks like today more or less:
So yeah...there was that....kinda took up a lot of my time 
I moved twice this year of 2011, getting ready to do my third one in one more week...back to OHIO! Yay! I'm now a military wife, it's been quite an experience so far.
In other news, I'm now expecting a boy in March of 2012.
Basically, I'm in no position to be putting new sets out any time soon. But, I'm very glad to have the friends and groups on here that I do and enjoy perving on some pics every now and then Hope everyone's been doing well, I'm sure I missed a lot. Peace and Love <3
Sooo I might be having a 420 baby, haha! Sorry I've been a Lurking McLurkerson lately.
Anyway, I can't sleep even though I should be trying to. I've been having contractions for the last three hours and they are starting to hurt. It would be way cool if I indeed have this baby today because:
1. My coworker has been telling me all along that I should have the baby on 4/20
2. Today and tomorrow are usually my hubby's days off anyway so he wouldnt need to call in to work
3. 4/20 is the first day of Taurus and I said my baby is not allowed to be an Aries and must wait to be a Taurus
4. At work yesterday a customer asked when I was due and they thought I said "1 or 2 days" when in fact I said "1 or 2 weeks" (guess they heard right after all)
5. She totally gave us a peace sign in her ultrasound, so being born on 4/20 to the Bob Marley music I've picked out for laboring would totally suit her
Hmm, I guess I'll go try to get some restful sleep now, it may be the last I ever get for a long time
Update: (April 20th, 11:56 PM)
So I went to bed and the contractions petered out by the time I woke up in the morning. I guess Annabel decided 420 is not the right birthday for her. Thanks for all the well wishes, she'll be here soon enough

Too lazy to write a full-fledged entry but wanted to update you all on how the ultrasound went. Everything looked perfectly normal and I am having a girl. Squeeeeeee!
Annabel Christi

when I get around to a scanner I will upload some of the ultrasound pictures. we got one of her giving the peace sign with her little fingers, it was precious.
peace:
side view of head and view of her little foot:

is it weird that i would totally buy this for myself and hang it up in my living room? behold the mysterious loch ness monster!
I'm broke and trying to think of cool gifts I can make or nifty inexpensive gifts I can buy. Any ideas? What are you guys doing for your family? *sigh*
Ultrasound tomorrow. I will know if I'm having a boy or a girl so long as baby cooperates.

Thanks for all the kind comments and hearty congratulations on my last blog. Me and baby are doing fine. I'm at 12 and a half weeks now. We heard the heartbeat at the beginning of this month which was way cool (even though we got pulled over by a sheriff on the way to the hospital and got a $114 ticket 
) Fuckin cops.
I've found a new hobby I rather enjoy. I find that going for walks is pretty therapeutic on its own, but slowing down to appreciate everything and to take pictures along the way is even more relaxing. What is usually a half hour walk turned into a two hour walk. Here are some things that caught my and Daniel's eye. (we took turns with the camera, most of them are mine though. he hated and deleted a lot of his):

Well it's time to shamelessly promote my new set "Pussy Cat" that comes out tomorrow, shot by the fabulous AlissaBrunelli:
So before you go to work tomorrow remember to check it out while drinking your cup of coffee (or redbull...it gives you wings).
</shameless self promotion>
And now for something completely different:
I am moved into my new apartment and loving it. We have recycling at our new place which we didn't have before, so I am stoked about that. And it's a very good neighborhood so i've taken up the routine of jogging everyday. My last neighborhood was awful so I never would have gone jogging. If it gives you any idea...I lived there for just a year and in that one year 2 out of our 3 vehicles were broken into.
The bartending job has been stressful and not all it was cracked up to be. My manager breathes down my neck and watches everything I do now, and has suggested that I've been giving away free shit. I pride myself on being a very trustworthy, honest person so I was pretty peeved about that accusation. Oh and I found out that corporate frequently checks the facebook profiles of every employee......kinda big brotherish and creepy. One of my coworkers put up pictures from when the assistant manager, on a slow day, doused one of the employees with water and covered her with flour for fun. Within about two weeks corporate had seen it and asked that the picture be removed.
Been taking a long break from World of Warcraft and instead have been consumed with the fifth Harry Potter book; will soon be finished with it. I will not allow myself to watch any of the movies until after I've read the book. I have a lot of catching up to do.

I went to Hell City back in May and met a bunch of cool ladies as well as got to see some pretty ladies I'd met before. That was much fun. 
Took a trip to New Jersey in June and got to experience the lovely beach there. I also got to learn how to navigate the train system. And then my flight back home got cancelled and had to stay an extra day.
Now I'm back to work and bartending now (finallyyyyyyyyy). My apartment is a crazy mess and I have to move out by the end of this month. I am NOT looking forward to all the packing, deep cleaning, and moving but I am definitely looking forward to moving into a better neighborhood and a place that feels more like a home.
I made a playlist that fits my mood really well right now. go check it out for some chill music

Time for an update:
let's see....after much waiting I will finally start bartending training in a week or so at my work.
I got a new tattoo in the center of my upper back, pictures to come later.
I have a new set coming to member review that I shot with Shazzy while in Vegas.
