Okay, I might just update...just in bullet points.

So there.

-I finally found the answer to the dizzy spells I have been having since high school.  I am pretty certain they are "auras" indicating an oncoming migraine.  Unfortunately, I had a really bad dizzy spell the other day while driving...I didn't crash or anything, but I went home, took a Tylenol and went to sleep, and I am pretty sure I avoided a ginormous migraine.

-Perspective is interesting.  This might seem minute, but I feel that my thoughts about hot weather have to do with perspective.  When I lived somewhere with 4 seasons, I looked forward to that first day I could wear shorts or sandals...the days with picnics and playing outside.  Mind you, I still didn't like hot weather, but summer as a break from winter is kinda nice.  Different from this is having hot weather every day...it's not quite as special. 

-Jasper is a cute dog - and he's very strange, with a weird personality.  He's generally not very naughty, but one of his "bad" things to do is to take used Kleenex out the trash and shred it up.  Since Craig and I have had crazy allergies of late, he has been doing this a lot, even though he knows he's not allowed to.  The other day we couldn't find him and assumed he was lying in our bed, as he usually does if we leave the bedroom door open.  I went in, but couldn't see him there.  I looked over to his cage and he was lying in there...weird because he doesn't even like sleeping there at night.  I moved to the other side of the bed and saw that he had emptied my trash can and shredded up all the Kleenex.  I know dogs don't really know right from wrong, but I like to think that Jasper put himself in timeout. 

-I can't believe I am already in my 5th month of being pregnant.  It has gone by very fast.  I don't feel very preggo fat though...but my clothes don't fit.  Unfortunately, there is no selection of maternity clothes in Hilo -- well, we have one specialty shop, which means it's very expensive. 

-I want to see the A-Team.  I like the guy from District 9...he is playing Murdock.

-Okay, I am done now.

Hey There Interweb,

Need some input.

You see, it's been pretty much my on the top of my goal list to get my Master's degree (can I get a Master's with that horrible disregard for grammar?).  I LIKE school. 
I finally found a great program that is online and fits in with both my ministry and my education interests.  (Master of the Arts in Spiritual Formation)
I found the motivation to apply...and I did.

Two days later, I found out I was pregnant.
Now I am not so "gung-ho" about the idea.
But maybe it's just cold feet.

Here are some details: 
-school starts in August
-baby is due in October
-classes are online
-one class at a time
-degree takes 2 years

So mommies/pregos/officers/workaholics/students....tell me....can it be done?  What do you suggest?  I have only paid the initial application fee, so I am not completely tied to this. 
I can't see the wood for the trees...so any outside input would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Last night was monumental.
We watched TWO movies...in a row...fully.

First, thanks to Netflix, we watched "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist."
This was kinda cute and fun.   I can liken it to "(500) Days of Summer" except that it was better.  I am not very hip or anything, and this movie was far from anything I ever experienced in high school (but really, are there any movies out there that are?  They would be boring! ).  I like Michael Cera, but he will always be George Michael to me (from "Arrested Development").  So...it wasn't the best movie ever, but it had some funny moments and it was cute.

Second, we watched "Fantastic Mr. Fox."
I so wanted to see this movie when it was out in theatres, but Hilo isn't exactly a large metropolis, so it didn't make it here.  This week the DVD came out, so I bought it, sight unseen.  I don't usually do that, but I love Roald Dahl and Mr. Fox is my 3rd favourite book from him.  In addition, I loved the look of the stop-motion animation, and I really don't mind Wes Anderson movies (although again, I am not hipster enough to fully appreciate them, I think...Life Aquatic was just "meh" for me). So anyway, this movie was loosely based on the book, well - it takes about 30 minutes to read the book, so you really do need more material!  It wasn't different in a blasphemous sort of way, however.  It played like every other Wes Anderson movie but with animated foxes...and with George Clooney (in addition to the usual Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson....).  It was clever and cute.  Very creative and funny.  Definitely recommended!  Go...watch it NOW!

End Review(s).

Just gonna do a bullet update, 'cause I am feeling "ugh."

-I am feeling "ugh" because I am pregnant!  What-what? Yes!  It's true...gonna have a kidlet in October.

-I would like to be on Amazing Race because I feel I deserve it...who cares if I can't run a meter or I am not an American citizen...I wanna!  Tonight watching I can't get over the stupidity and ignorance of some of the contestants ("Joan of Arc was a guy!" - "These people don't speak enough English...")

-I think that if Hollywood were to remake any movie that was made before 2000, that the drama/action/suspense would be minimal because of advances in technology.  Seriously, picture your favourite suspense movie from like 1995, now picture the main character with a cell phone...I am sure the movie would be over in 20 minutes. 

-March and April are incredibly busy months for us this year...looking forward to a little vacation in May.

-I don't want to update anything else.  Thank you. 

So we are under a tsunami warning.

This is new for me...and a little bit scary to say the least.

Praying it's just something smaller and not the amount of devastation we had in the 1960s.
