Disappointed

Ok. So I really had high hopes that I wouldn''t be disappointed when I saw Twilight, even though everyone warned me it was not like the book and not nearly as good. But-I was let down anyway. I just think they left out way too much and Edward and Bella's story could have been told with so much more detail. Neway, just wanted to vent. It could also be bothering me because I am such a dork and became overly obsessed with the book that I couldn't get past it. Matt seemed to like it and think that it was fine, stating that he was pleased with the movie. Ok..done with that rant..

Now onto another one...So the stroller that we had registered for @ Wal-Mart has only been in a few select stores and I haven't actually seen it yet. Matt and I were in WM yesterday and they happened to have our stroller on display. Except the display was chained down, so we couldn't remove it to examine it. When I asked the woman there if she could get it down for us so I could see if it was what I wanted, if I could take it down easily, etc..her response, was "No, we are not allowed to take them down. You can only look @ them". WTF!!! So, me being the nice person that I am could not resist letting her know that was ridiculous and I would definitely not be purchasing a stroller from Wal-Mart! How do they justify someone dropping 220.00 on an item that you can only "look but don't touch"?? I think I'm just going to boycott WM altogether as the more I return to that place, the more frustrated I get!!

I'll stop ranting now. I need to think happy thoughts :)

Jumping on the Bandwagon

So, I couldn't resist. After hearing constantly about it, I finally read the book....and I COULD NOT put it down!! I finished it in 2 days and can't wait to go see the movie this weekend!! I always thought every one was too crazy about this series and I tried to avoid it, but couldn't any longer. I am such a sucker for the teen love story/drama, this was right up my alley. Now my only problem is going to be reading new moon and then waiting for the movie.

Away status

Found my bedding online today and wanted to see what everyone thought
the stripes is the dust ruffle, bubbles is the bumper, and the flowers are the comforter. Now if only she had a bed and a name to go with all her belongings :)

I will be away for awhile. We have sold our computer and our new one hasn't arrived yet, so I am without communication means (beside the cell phone and that's too personal). Our computer is supposed to be here in a few weeks, which seems like an eternity!

Lack of pictures

Thanks Heather and Debbi for coming thru again and saving my computer illiterate self. Here are the pics of the strollers I'm debating on. I am going to drive everyone crazy asking their opinion, but I simply cannot make decisions for the life of me. Anyway, I like the blue and brown, but think the colors are kindof boyish, although the pattern looks girly. The green one is cheaper and I like it because it's not too girly, but I'm afraid that the light green will become dirty very easily and very soon. Anyway, that's my dilema today. If anyone knows anything about these particular strollers, I'm open to suggestions :)

I'm sure I'll be taking more suggestions on a new item tomorrow:)

So, it might be a while before I can post any pictures from my camera. I went to take a picture last night and when I turned the camera on, everything was upside down. Anyone know how to fix that? It's a canon and it's been a really good camera, I just don't know how to do anything but point and shoot. I've definitely got to figure something out because I CAN NOT be cameraless sp? throughout the holidays!!

Still figuring out this blog.

How do I paste pictures directly into my post from a website (example. i wanted to post pictures of the 2 strollers I am considering and I can't figure it out!) I get so frustrated with this blogger sometimes! I also wanted to steal your (Debbie's) baby badge thing, and couldn't figure out how to do that either. Maybe I just have pregnancy stupidity and grumpiness. I've noticed I've been rather hormonal here lately :)

Taking Suggestions

So, we are having a girl. And me being the stubborn person that I am refused to pick out girl names. So I have a list of male names that I was going to name our handsome little boy, and have no idea what to name our little girl. Well, I have a few ideas, but Matt hates every one of them (as I do his suggestions). So, we are open to suggestions. The fight goes on over:
My favorite:
Avery
Peyton
Priestly

Matt's favorite:
Anna Belle

His family also is HIGHLY recomending....Krislyn. I'm still not sure how I feel on this one. Still trying to see if it's too out there even for me. I want something that is different, but I don't want to name her "Shaniqua" either. I also don't want to scar her for life. Thank God my daddy stepped in and named me, otherwise everyone would know me as Shawni-short for Lanetta DeShawn. (and my mom swears she never did drugs).

Anyway, just pondering ideas.

I'm back for now. Matt informed me that I needed to blog more since he checked it everyday and I hadn't posted anything about our recent news...So, we're having a baby (which I'm sure everyone knows by now). That's how most of our time has been spent lately...wondering what we are going to have because I am ready to buy clothes NOW!! Picking out cribs, strollers, things that we are going to need, fighting over names because we can't seem to agree on one (I swear we are going to have "baby Hurd" in the hospital).

Then there is the realization that we are going to be responsible for a sole human being! That is scary. Can we do this? Will we make the right decisions for our child? I know that we will be loving parents and that our baby will always know that he means the world to us, but how will we handle the big decisions, like teaching him to be his own individual without being a freak?

Neway, I know I'm being morbid so I will stop and leave the big decisions for later. Right now, we're just marveling in the fact that we created this person that's living inside my belly and can't wait until March when he/she will arrive into the world and we get to hold them in our arms for the very first time.
