Cookies - back from the dead

Kellogg's have resurrected the Mother's cookies brand for good. Apparently, the rights were bought months ago, and they were back just in time for Mother's Day. How cute.

So I can have these babies any time now?
Well, life just got a bit easier!

Einstein has been asleep since 11:30am. Growth spurt, anyone? And even with all the 'extra' time, I still feel like I haven't got anything done. huh. :)
P.S. He just woke up and it's 4:01pm. Wow.

I lack...

The abiliy to post pictures at the moment. I have so much to post, too! It's something about updating drivers, and that's about where I fall asleep and let Bryan handle all the techi stuff. But he's been hard at work, building web sites and such. He had a HUGE final he's been working on, and has been working (at work) like crazy, so I haven't seen him much this last week, not to mention he hasn't been able to do anything on my very long and detailed "honey-do" list lately. I will be SO glad when this class is over!

Anyway, if you want to see what he's been working on to get his "A" in the class (which is hardly ever given on the final project, according to the professor), go to his latest website, game art nerds. This latest creation is why my husband has been MIA for the past few weeks! It still has a few tiny glitches (it runs slow from internet explorer), but he has until Monday night to put on the finishing touches. What do you think? I know the content is not up a lot of people's alley (at least people that read my blog), but what do you think of the artwork/placement/graphics/etc? I think it's genius, but then again, I am pretty biased. So that's where you come in. What do you think?


I love Battlestar Galactica.

Yes, I am a nerd.

But President Roslin, you're my kind of woman. Apollo, you are so hot, and you have such a good heart (and being hot doesn't hurt at all either). Admiral Adama? You kick butt. Starbuck? Too bad you are so brilliant and you keep messing everything up. Gaius? You know you're batting for the wrong team. Boomer? I'm SO glad you've defected! Helo? Keep loving her, and take care of Hera! Tyrol? Please stay with Cally and forget about Boomer! Six? You're so bad! Colonel Tigh? I'm really sorry about Ellen, but she was never good for you. Gaeta? You're a genius.

Oh, wait... you don't know who these characters are???????? You seriously don't know what you're missing. It's the most un-sci-fi show that's ever been on sci-fi. It's sooo good. Dare I say, better than Firefly. I'm not kidding. Who else is a closet Battlestar Galactica fan? If not, you should really become one. Bry and I stayed up waaaay too late on a number of nights, watching episodes back to back to back. It's that good. I can't wait for the final season to come out on DVD. And those of you who have seen it, don't spoil it for me!
Here are the last 3 seasons in a nutshell:

Numb

I had a miscarriage.

Crazy to write that.

I am unsure what to feel.

No, strike that.

I have a LOT of feelings going on.

My logical side is just fine --- the timing is not right, no matter how much I wanted it to be. I know that, Bryan knows that, and Heavenly Father knows that. Even though we both had an amazing spiritual confirmation to expand our family, only Heavenly Father knows what timing is exactly right for us.

My physical well-being is just fine --- other than being extremely tired and a little crampy, physically I am well. I am healthy, and other than a little more sleep and a little time to baby myself, no other procedures are (thank goodness) necessary. I can carry on as normally as before, and I think being physically busy will help with healing as well.

While I know and believe all this, try relaying that to my CRAZY hormones! I am weepy. I am empty. And though I in no way feel *responsible* for losing this child, I still feel upset about it. Even though I am at peace with this logically and spiritually, emotionally I am still a major train wreck.

The (not so detailed) details:
I really wasn't too far along. No announcements were made; the only people who knew sort of guessed that I was expecting.
Two weeks after I found out I was pregnent, the dreaded spotting came. And it never went away.
Bryan and I went to the doctor today (SO glad he was there!), who confirmed to us that I was no longer pregnant.

So, if I was able to give this spirit at least a glimpse of a physical body, I am happy. I am still happy right now, just a little sad, too.

I would also like to add that I am so extremely grateful that Bryan is my husband. He is so inspired, and he is a wonderful Patriarch to have in my home. I love you, honey!
