What IS normal?

i mean really, WHAT constitutes NORMAL??? in life you hear comments, you may even make them, "well thats just NOT normal" or "act normally" etc, but really, who are they to say, what is and isnt normal? you may have normality for your own household, and for you and yours, that is what is normal, but how does that make someone else not normal? just something that popped into my head and had to share, i myself enjoy being weird :)

have a wee peek at my ticker (no silly, not THAT ticker... lol get your mind out of the gutter!) up the top of the page, can you believe how this baby is growing!! if i didnt look pregnant before i definatly do now!!! we are gradually getting all we need, only a few things left now, change table, buggy carry cot (just because i want one! lol) sterilizer and breast pump, we got a front pack on the weekend so that was one more thing to "tick" off our list! and i have a whole set of drawers FULL of clothes.... lol may have to start hanging things up on hangers shortly to make more room! i was the same with Kaylee, started buying baby clothes (all off trademe, nothing is new! lol but it all looks it! bargains! love them!) as soon as we found out she was a girl and had a HEAP of clothes, and i dont regret it for one minute, yes there are other things more practical that i could spend my money on, but hey, WHY THE HELL NOT! i have this huge passion for baby clothes, love them! i cant wait until another month or so and i will wash up everything, all her blankets, nappies (white cloth nappies, GREAT spill cloths for you first time mums! always have something protecting your shoulder, you wont regret it!) cant wait!

i for some reason have a craving for fresh salsa.... but i did the food shopping this morning and wandered right past the red onions, avocado and tomatos, didnt feel like them at the time, so didnt get them! i feel like fresh salsa over grilled chicken with a salad and balsamic dressing... yummm, give me an hour, lol ill feel like some thing else! dinner tonight is home made butter chicken on rice with pompadoms, lol realllllllly bad for you, but yummmm havent had it for a while! one thing i did get today was some Oranges, nice NZ ones on special, and YUMMM they are so good, im onto #3! oh yeah, and i got chocolate milk... but we wont go there! lol never send a pregnant woman food shopping on an empty stomach, whoa you think its bad if you havent had breakfast beforehand, add on being pregnant and its double wammo!

i stepped on the scales the other day, something i havent been making a habit of since being pregnant (dont really see a point sorry peeps! im pregnant, i cant control it, just go with it!) more because i was curious about what they would say since i have been sick, welllll i am 13kgs (YES thats right!) LIGHTER now than i was when i got pregnant! i dont think i look it, my clothes show it, lol until i threw them out! but im a little sad that im not looking as hot as i thought i would having lost that amount of weight! BUT then i remember that i am pregnant with this stomach out the front of me, lol so yes, i have finally gone under that dreaded 100kg, (about 98 now) seems weird that really i havent slogged my ass off to do it, its just something my body has done itself... just go with the flow i say.... and if your not pregnant, have another wine!

i have foodtv going on in the background, not really paying attn its low carb cooking... they are doing something with soybeans.... ohhhhh yummmm just gotta try that..... (Not!) not a big fan of beans, but cmon people if your going to eat healthy eat NICE!!!!!

just as an offside (lol yeah ok, like this post hasnt been one whole offside!) does anyone own a Magic Bullet??? what do you think of it?? ive just sold my huge beasty food processor/Blender and want something smaller and they look ideal (cheap on TM!) hmmm spose i could always resell it again if i dont want it! lol

I have a Magic Bullet, but to be totally honest, I have never taken it out of the box. My sister & brother bought it for me for xmas (about $200 new I think), thinking it would be useful for when we have kids. Since we don't have kids yet, and no room in the kitchen cupboards, I believe it can currently be found under some blankets and a spare duvet in one of the wardrobes.....

Can't believe you have lost 13kg!!! And to think you'll lose another 7 or 8 straight away when the baby is born - yeah baby!! Better than any WW or Sureslim diet, ha ha.

Damn, I feel like salsa now - with corn chips though, not a healthy salad, lol.

just to clarify, the "Magic Bullet" im talking about is the FOOD PROCESSOR, not any other contraption you may have lurking in your bedroom! you RUDE RUDE PEOPLE!!! MUhahahahahahaha!!

Wow 13kgs! I am speechless on that one hun... you will have to post a photo!
And yes I want salsa now too!!! And like Emily I want it with corn chips! YUM YUM!
In regards to the Magic Bullet - I know Pinto from the BB was raving about her one that she got on TM for a great price and like you say you can always resell it if you didn't like it.
Have a great week...
