Happy Belated B-day Steph!


Hey guys, my life MIGHT slow down a bit, but I'm most likely to stay in the OSPC category.  I got in from the wedding early this morning, so I've been quite out of it today.  So grateful we came back a day early, to get a bit of rest.  The wedding went well and minus a few pc problems are childhood to wedding photo montage video went well.... I just wish we would have been able to loop it a bit more.  I didn't like dealing with the airport and plane pregnant though, just too stressy for me and my nerves didn't like it much.  The best part about our little trip was how excited my in-laws are about their first grandchild.  As soon as I saw my Father-in-law he asked to feel the baby when he could, and that took some time, but eventually he had the chance.  The baby was moving so much it was like a mini earthquake and after he felt it, he jumped up and cheered.  And then whenever he introduced us, he'd point to my small tummy and say,"Here's my grandson!"" LOL.  This child is going to be so spoiled, he'll be the first grandchild on both sides!

marlies 

[MasBYUgal]

Marlies! Are you injured!?  See what I miss when life gets in the way.  I read that you'd like to be an aunt, after that sweet gift that you sent my baby(have I mentioned how sweet the whole thing is and how much I LOVED it!) I'd so consider you an aunt to my little Luke on the way.  In fact, if I was catholithic, which I'm not....I'd even consider having you as the God-mother!   
  Here are some band-aids to cheer you up!  Get betters, dear friend!

Pri - Did I hear you have a God-sister?  Lots of baby news on this board!  Catch me up please and forgive me for being so out of it!

Brenda - Congrats on your bro's baby, I think I remember skimming the post that you said you witnessed the birth!  I'm so scared about delivery whenever I read about it or think about it I get so nervous.  I so hope nature kicks in!!!!

(Thanks to Marlies to allow me to catch up on everyone A LITTLE BIT!  Everyone else big HUGS, and please forgive me in my absence!)

As for me, I'm doing good.  Still a bit tired from the trip, but doing okay.  I got a tiny bit of color and almost burned on one arm at the wedding, but I'm so WHITE it's not noticeable.  When one of my students asked me about the trip, I showed him my 'color' and he was so funny....see he's black and he was like, "What colour?!"  LOL, I was like, "I know I'm a white white girl, but this is a bit of colour for me!"   (ou-s just for the Aussies!:)

Tomorrow I have another ultrasound, it's a level 2 one.  The doctor saw a shadow on the placenta and he wants me to come in to a specialist just to make sure that everything is okay.  He told me not to worry about it and that he had seen it before, and in those cases everything was fine.  Wish me luck!

Here's some cookies...

Sooks, I got the biggest kick out of these cookies!!  They definitely put a smile on my face    Thanks for your message!  Hope you are doing well and enjoying your 2 weeks without class. 

Hugs to you, Amy

To the rest of the Sprees, I have never posted here before.  My name is Amy for those of you who do not know me  I guess I should start posting here more often!!
Hope everyone is doing well.  Happy Tuesday to all!

[Sooks]

That's so weird because I added you in the names that I listed at the bottom of my post just now. I thought that you had posted here! WELCOME to you! I'm glad that you're here now! And, I'm happy that the cookies put a smile on your face! They were just silly! I had to post them! ENJOY them! Hope you're doing well! Hugs~

Hello my loves,
I'm not gonna lie, this time of year is absolutely crazy for everyone.
But I miss you all more than you would know and I can't believe how long it's been since I've even looked here.
I just wanted to touch base and say hello.

Happy Birthday to any I missed! I hope they were great!

Also, Anyone who is under the weather, hope you feel better!

etc, etc.

Here's my quick update.
1. My brothers moved out.
2. My sister got accepted to law schools and is seriously considering one about.. 2 hours away.
3. My parents are buying house & property in Costa Rica.
4. 1 month of school left -finals and final project ALREADY being thrown at us.
5. My birthday (bleh) is around the corner, though, no one is going to be here for it.
6. I'll very possibly get my license shortly after that.
7. Going to San Diego Memorial Day weekend.

I'm not even going to fool myself, I probably won't be around much until school is over. Though, I'll try and pop in and say hi. I do like looking at everyone's pretty pictures...
So here's my addition to the collection..

Thought of the Day


And even though things are busy and crazy lately...

[Fantasy]

Hey Everyone. I would love to be able to update about everyone, but I am just stoping here to tell you that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.


Me and my friend were talking today, and she was being so inconsiderate. She was saying how everyone in America should know English, which to SOME extent is true, but she was taking it way to far. Saying how Mexicans who immigrated here should learn English or get out.  Rude and so not PC.  It just makes me so mad.

M, Stephanie, Mary, Steph, Melissa, Shell, Caryn, Janich, Angela, Kami, Marlies, Dri, Pri, Sarah, Brenda, Laura, Ali, Amy --I hope each and every one of you are doing great. For those of us who have school/college in session--Good luck with all the final exams, term papers (?), and the plain old stress of the ending of the year. 

(Thanks for the list Sooks. I was going to list everyone by going through the posts, but then I saw yours and took the shortcut.)


Don't forget to watch the new episode tonight! I want to sit here and spill about how _____________ I feel about _________.    But I won't. I'll save it for the episode discussion thread tonight.

Oh yeah. My internet is down at home so that is why I can only speak to you guys when I'm in school, so don't expect to see much of me.

LoveLoveLove,
Sarah

Here is a little something to make you smile...


                      Grrr, I am so mad at one of my guy friends right now. No offense to the male population on this board with that one. It is just a joke. Heres one to make it all even. (well, not even, but I know Janich will like it .)

[talkingfriend]

Hey Sprees!!

Marlies! Are you injured!?  See what I miss when life gets in the way.  I read that you'd like to be an aunt, after that sweet gift that you sent my baby(have I mentioned how sweet the whole thing is and how much I LOVED it!) I'd so consider you an aunt to my little Luke on the way.  In fact, if I was catholithic, which I'm not....I'd even consider having you as the God-mother!   

melissa, my friend..you are so kind..yes you have already told me how much you like the present in your last pm...i am really glad you like it..
lol..the god-mother idea is so sweet..but you do not have to worry about it..i am not catholic anyway..i am not baptised..but still a nice thought 
yes i am injured..my mother hurt me while skiing...quite unfortunate...thanks for the band-aids...love them..
i understand your absence fully..no problem..you are busy...and i guess you do have a life outside of the forum  ..at least i hope so..lol 
*big friendly hug to you*
love my sig...i have mentioned that already..but you ought to be praised a million times..

sooks, just have to love those cookies..ah you make me smile 
i might see "the notebook" at the week-end..let's wait and see

sarah, love the pics 

me, oh everything ok..well my leg is giving me a hard time,
but i am tough..i can manage 
not a lot has happened since yesterday....

hugs to everyone.....
marlies 

ps: "The road to a friend's house is never long."
pps: i'm a "sookie" now *points at rank* 

[MasBYUgal]

Ah Sooks those little thong cookies are funny, however did you search for that image?!  So lucky you have a few weeks off, you must enjoy them....just don't forget to stop by AIM more often!


Welcome Amy, I think I've met you before, but probably not efficiently.   I'd love to know more about you....  I'm Melissa, I think I was one of the official sprees that still hangs around.  Lately my life has been crazy, but things have slowed down a bit.  I'm pregnant and due with my first in August!  (oh duh, I know you from the midwest thread and you already gave me your 411...please forgive me and my pregnancy brain!)

Ang! You're parents are buying a house and stuff in Costa Rica, Que Chulo!  Did you know my husband lived their for two years and the teacher I work with student taught there?  Sometime we'd love to go visit, maybe now I have a connection for a cheaper trip.  Do you know where in Costa Rica?
      You're lucky you've got a month of school left, they are already handing out final projects at the HS I work at and we don't get done until like June 8th!  I think you need a school countdown ticker! 
     San Diego, that could be fun.  Any particular reason why there?!

Man that feels like me when the baby is bouncing, like right now...but it d/n make me feel happy at all.   I never thought I'd be so sick of running to the bathroom!  Ahh...man he's an active little boy!

Sarah - Hi!  *waves*  I can understand your friends opinion, they do need to learn English...but I'm quite understanding, I do teach English as a second(or 3rd, or 4th, or 5th etc...) Language. I do feel that it is important for newcomers to learn English, as long as they don't lose their old language.  Some kids here can't talk to their grandparents in their home countries, b/c they don't remember their native language and I find that sad.  It is important for the language development to keep up both, or they'll never learn as far as they could.  Yet- it makes me mad that you can take drivers tests in many foreign languages...that is kind of wrong to me.  I mean - the signs aren't in any other languages than english and stuff.  (wow, I sure can go on about this topic, hopefully I'm not boring you all!)
       Oh and be careful about logging on at school, I don't want you to disappear forever.  I hope your internet gets fixed!

Ah Marlies, you're mom hurt you while skiing?!  Ah that's sad, but at least you can lovingly rub it in?  How bad is the injury?  Are you hobbling on crutches or just in a little pain that no one can really tell except for a limp?!  *hugs back*   Ah I like your sig too, I think you should switch them up every so often. My favorite was the merry-go-ground one!

I was quite nervous before my appt today, but for not much a good reason. I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay.  It was so cute to see my little boy and we got another way obvious picture this time.  He sure is a boy!  The dark spot is a fibroid, which to the best of my knowledge is a benign growth on the uterous and from what they say quite common in women.  It seems to have had no effect on the baby or blood flow, so everything should be okay.  Also my fluid levels were good, another concern from before.  As for my size, since I'm small myself...it's obvious that the baby is small but he's okay.  He is in the 35%tile and he has grown since the last u/s.  He was measuring in at about 1 lb 7 oz....so neat, huh?  He was so cute in the pics and he spent some of the time playing peek-a-boo at the dr.  LOL!  Such a little angel!  Yet, I was stressed a bit last night about this appt, so I didn't sleep well and I worked myself up quite a bit, so I decided to call into work today.  Luckily the school I work out today is having a 11am late start, due to state testing, SO I'm not missing that many hours.  I feel like it's best for  me to rest...then deal with the kiddies today!  We have another late start tomorrow, so I'll go in as normal and the hours will be made up. 

So I'm home resting and I think I might whip up some GR8 Mandate sigs.  Let me know if anyone has any requests.  Making sigs is so relaxing for me....
