le tired.

yesterday kicked my bootay. getting up early to vote, staying up late to find out the results, two busy days at work. made for one tired shannon.
came home and napped since about 7. almost forgot to post. real good only five days into nablopomo!
the title is a flashback to this old cartoon. makes me laugh every time.

we did it.

here we are. at the butt crack of dawn. it's probably not that early now. maybe 7ish. us being dutiful citizens and voting. look at our red and blue scrubs. we're dorks. and no, they don't represent how we voted! and yes, people looked at us like we were crazy when i made nick take this picture!
waited a while. was way late to work. oh well.
can't wait to see how it turns out. either way. should be quite an interesting evening.
oh and my county/polling place was lame. no stickers or notes.
this is what i ended up with...
on the left you'll see the 'note' from my polling place. doubt i'll need it for work but hey, why not? the buttons were made at work. one of our receptionists heard i was angry that i didn't get a sticker so she wanted to make me one. the top right is her original verson. we then decided to look for a 'real' one online and then printed it on the color printer. we were even smart enough to laminate them. and by laminate them, i mean cover them in packing tape for protection. ;o)

happy election day!
oh and hopefully a non political post tomorrow....

must get up...

early tomorrow!!!
i start work at 730am. have to figure out if the lines for voting are going to be ridiculous. planning on getting there for 630ish and crossing my fingers that all goes quickly. thinking my breakfast will be mcdonalds. oh so healthy!
am all researched and ready. if you still need help on finding out who to vote for check out this site...
and who knew?! wishing our krispy kreme hadn't closed.

nablopomo.

who knew?
gonna try. good thing i posted something yesterday. and since i'm posting this today, i'm going to postpone my first twenty weeks of pregnancy post. or maybe even break them up a bit to recap. crazy to think i'm halfway there.
anywho.
anyone else gonna join in this challenge?

traffic was a nightmare.

so senator obama was in my area last night. pretty cool. pretty darn crowded. you can read about it here.
i got off of work around 3 and had to drive past the park. took me 15 minutes. normally would be a breeze. less than a minute. stoplights were shut down. lanes were blocked off. news trucks everywhere.
i cannot imagine cramming 40000 people to that park. and the parking. oy. the article comments on all of that.
cool nonetheless.
also cool to think that our county could be the swing factor in going red or blue. might be the first time since indiana votes democrat since lyndon johnson.
planning on leaving super early to vote tuesday. have already heard about ridiculous lines to vote early... hoping the day of goes a bit more quickly!

i did it.

-i uploaded pictures. have had some on my camera for over 3 months. that's serious. need to print some. also need to find the rebel. it's around here somewhere. been attached to the point and shoot for convenience.
-thinking i'm going to do a first twenty weeks in review, next week. so no belly pics. not that they are the greatest. i am sooo not photogenic.
-thinking about sharing the bloggie with the fam. undecided. thinking it might be the way to go for friends and family i might not see/talk to all the time. a way for them to check on us and the kidlet to be.
-remodeling starts tuesday. must remember to take before and after pictures of the downstairs. bought stuff for baby bean's closet. should be cool. love that nick wants to do house projects.
-found kick ass magnetic paint. knew there was chalkboard stuff out there. went to get that for a bookshelf for baby's room, stumbled across the magnetic primer. so a coat of that will be on the shelf as well.
-working out details of the shower. it's all booked. registries are almost complete. found invitations. just have to get the list of invites and figure out how many to order. meeting with the cake, ahem, cupcake lady this week.
-and now some pictures, since my blog has been a bit naked.... just something i found hilarious over the summer. so convenient to be missing those first letters. totally made me giggle.

it's official.

the bump is apparenty noticeable in my scrubs.
each of the past two days, i've had a patient ask me if i was...
1. growing something
2. going to be a mommy
not sure if it's how i'm standing or walking or positioning myself sometime throughout the day.
promise pictures soon.
i know i've said it before. but this week has kicked my ass. hard core. work is super busy and nick's sick. lots of rest and soup in our future... me thinks. ;o)
