I found the key to feeling pregnant: being TIRED. My sytomless past two months has now come to an end.
I'm tired. Which amplifies the slight nausea to mild nausea. Little things are bothering me. My UnderArmor cold gear shirt has a mock turtleneck and it's choking me (and therefore making me more nauseous.)
The tired isn't coming out of nowhere- Friday night, Todd and I trecked up to North Jersey where Todd was in the most extravagant wedding I've been to since my cousin's last year. Things were going pretty well (aside from not being able to turn left anywhere in New Jersey) until I look down at my phone around 8pm and I see two missed calls and a load of text messages. My assistant coach was taking the team for a run, turned around to check on the people brining up the rear, turned back around and while doing so, BROKE HER ANKLE over the speed bumps all over the neighborhoods in Aston.
While she was in the ER, I got the word that practice on Saturday would either be cancelled, my AD would run it or I would come home. I got all of about two hours of sleep Friday night tossing and turning about the 5am wake up call I had ahead of me. Todd and I drove home (oh yea, he had to come too since he hasn't let me relearn how to drive stick...and we took his car), I got out of the car, he stayed in the car to drive back, I had practice and then drove the two hours back.
When I got back to the hotel at 1:00pm (I made FANTASTIC time) Todd and I had lunch (he looked very handsome in his Calvin Klein tuxedo) and I spend FOUR HOURS at three malls trying to up my game. I forgot this squad of chicks at the wedding were all shoe and awesome dress wearing peeps. So my Target number was not giving me all the confidence I needed.
Has anyone been to the mall in New Jersey on a Saturday? Don't go. Many malls in No.Jerz aren't open on Sunday b/c of blue laws so everyone, their mother, their rude cousins and their friends were ALL AT THE MALL. No parking. Accidents a plenty on the parking lot. And no clothes for tall girls.
I finally found one and fell in LOVE with it a JCrew. And then I looked at the tag. $235 was too much. I wore the Target jawn and stomped off to the wedding.
As stated, it was lavish- amazing cocktail hour and a 14 piece band. Although my shoes were too tight, I managed to keep them on while Todd and I danced away...until I was too tired to hold my head up and my eyes open anymore (around 11pm.)
We drove home after the brunch. I calculated we spent 8 hours each in our respective vehicles. On the way home, I stopped in Spring City, PA to pick up 18 yoga blocks for $15- my craigslist find of the week. I start teaching classes on the 26th so I'm trying to gather equipment on the cheap.
If all goes well, I'm going to start having classes at the Aston Library asap.
Finally, Shannon was kind enough to bestow a One Lovely Blog Award upon me. Makes a girl feel special. We're supposed to share it with 15 other blog writers who we follow...
My awardees are: Kate, Todd, Robby IV and of course, Shannon and Tursi even though those two already have them. I check to make sure they've posted everyday and when they do... it's a nice mini vacation.
I also give one to Mee-shell who doesn't have a blog. Yet. But still reads mine.
