Yes! and No!

Let's start with the "No"....on Friday I had a student who I was talking to in the hallway before class was starting and in the middle of our conversation she blurted out....wait for it..."are you pregnant?" What? Have their parents told their children to never ask until you know 100% for sure a person is pregnant to ask! (Granted I have been bloating like crazy lately, and by the end of the school day when I see this students I know I probably look a little pregnant...but already?) So as I was completely caught off guard and was not going to tell my students until I was "showing" more...this may come sooner than later. My response you may ask.....I stuttered around for a bit and said "maybe someday!" So I bought a little time....well probably not much because I am sure when 130 plus students are staring at me for 50 minutes I am sure they are bound to observe my little pooch of a belly begin to get bigger!


And now for the "Yes"! I found out this week Mark will have weekends off! I have grown to accustomed to having Mark work crazy hours in the restaurant business. I have learned that even though he is saying he may be on his way home, I should not expect him to be walking in the door right away because there is always that one last person at the store who asks a question or one more thing that could be done that can postpone his arrival so very easily. Well, in Mark's restaurant the business is primarily done throughout the week (he works downtown and if you have ever seen downtown Phoenix, there is not much that goes on during the weekends--although there has been some improvement with ASU building a campus and various Farmer Markets. Regardless, I am excited to have Mark have weekends off consistently. I'll say "YES" to that!


Today, we are celebrating my next door neighbor's 2nd birthday! I am excited as this little guy is one of the best ever! (unfortunately, my neighbors decided to get a margarita machine for the party....should be a fun evening people watching!)

On a side note, sorry to all those who could not view my pictures earlier. I have been able to fix some, and now know the procedure to make sure they show up! I promise you won't miss any more belly pics!
