Miscellany Monday

Just some random stuff that's been on my mind!

{one} Do they show the reading of the victims names on 9/11 in other parts of the country?

{two} Do towns in other parts of the US have 9/11 ceremonies, or is that just around here?

{three} I find it strange when people want to come to NYC to see the sight.  I am not judging them at all, and I understand why they want to, but it's just weird to me. 

{four} My allergies are driving me crazy today!!!  No idea how to make them stop

{five} I hate the Giants this week:(  BUT the plus side is that Skip and I have the most fantasy points this week in our league....that has NEVER happened for us before!!

{six} There has been a lot of drama going on in my life this weekend.  Hoping this week brings a break from it!

{seven} One of my Marine's Girls is getting married this Friday and I could not be happier for her!!  I am also ridiculously excited to go to a wedding not pregnant!

{eight} AP is going to be taking some pictures of the girls soon and I am totally stressing what I should dress them in....any suggestions?

{nine} I just realized I have the same first two initials as AP...haha

{ten} I still have FOURTEEN pounds of baby weight to lose:(  How did all my weight just fall off with Little M but this just won't budge?!?!

{eleven} Baby C has outgrown her newborn stuff and is now in 3 months clothes...sniff sniff

    Yes, we watched the victims names being read on TV on Sunday morning. It was on every channel here.

    Yes, they have 9/11 memorials in other places. I went to one on Friday {blog post is coming}. Although we are under two hours from DC and three hours from NY and some of our first responders went to the Pentagon, so I am not sure if that's the reason why.

    I agree with going to NY to visit Ground Zero. It is creepy, but to us since we're so close it may not mean the same for someone say from Colorado. One of my good friends lives in CO and last time she visited she wanted to go to NY and the first place she wanted to see was Ground Zero. We went, because I can go to NY whenever where as they may have been a once in a lifetime thing for her.

    Great random post! You look GREAT after having C! I weigh less now then I got pregnant, but I have A LOT more weight to lose!

    The Giants made me want to cry! :P

    And I live near DC, so they had tons of ceremonies here as well.

    But I found this article day, 9/11 Memorials from around the world. I was surprised to see it a bit, but also very touched!

    I know there where a few memorials in toronto but I don't *think* the names were read.

    I've always wanted to go to NYC and from watching the specials on sunday, I had the sudden urge to go now.

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
