the middle of the story

So lately I have been wondering why things never seem to go the way I hope, or think they should. It seems as if we are stuck in a literal pile of crap. One thing after another, nothing huge mind you, goes wrong. So today I needed a break because I was grumpy and just need to escape for awhile, so I went to the movies. And as I was driving home I started to think about how I wished my life were a romantic comedy. Where boy says nice things, girl falls in love with boy, boy usually does something stupid (I could live without this part), and then redeems himself with some huge tear inducing speech and they live happily ever after. Then I realized I sort of am. When I think of the romantic comedy I think of the perfect situation at the end of the movie when everyone is happy and everything works out ok. That's when I realized I am in the middle of the story. This is the part of the story where sometimes the hero says stupid things, and where the heroine cries because things are not going the way she thought. And I realized that just because things seem sucky and sometime hopeless, the story isn't over.

Baby names

So, my friend Jessi is pregnant and has a blog where she posts all the baby names she is thinking about. I am going to slightly steal her idea (thanks!). While we are not preggo yet, I am always looking for good names and I don't want to forget any! So from time to time I think I will write them on here so that I will know where to look!

Right now for a girl I like a few: Zoe, Norah, Charlotte, Elliot, and I like Sophie, (but Jer doesn't!)
For a boy: Jude (that's all I can think of right now!)

Baby Fever

So I totally have baby fever right now. A lot of my friends are trying to get pregnant or already are, I mean nearly ALL of my friends. We were planning on trying in Septemeber, but this past week I totally thought I was pregnant and I wasn't. I am afraid it won't be so easy for us this time. The first two we never even had to try for! So we are not going to be "trying", but not inhibiting either. It is so disappointing when you spend a week or two really believing that you are pregnant only to find out you never were. I always think of Rachel of friends (seriously) when Phoebe reads the pregnancy test and tricks her and says it's negative and Rachel says "how can I be this sad about something I never had". I know it will pass in a few days, but today I still mourn for what I thought was there.

New to this

I imagine that at this point this blog is just for me. I don 't have any idea who else would like to read about my ramblings :). Well this is mostly a test post to see what it looks like and such.
