The Tuesday Ten

Today you get 10 of my random thoughts:
1. I am currently obsessed with strawberry pop tarts. They have absolutely no nutritional value but are oh, so good.
2. I hate stretch marks. Maybe they're supposed to be the battle scars of pregnancy or something. Who knows. I just think they're gross.
3. I can no longer wear high heels for an entire day. Sad. Sometimes I try to pull off a pair of cute wedges but usually by the end of the day they are kicked off underneath my desk somewhere.
4. I love to sleep. If I could go to bed at 8:00 p.m. every night I would be the happiest girl in the world.
5. In less than eight weeks I will be unemployed. Weird. It will be the first time since I was 16 that I have gone more than two weeks without a job.
6. Eating is a major nuisance in my life. I don't like having to decide what to eat, or when, or where. If I had my choice I would eat strawberry pop tarts and milk for every meal. OK, and maybe an occasional tuna sandwich.
7. I am not looking forward to triple-digit temperatures. Usually they start in early to mid-May. Ugh.
8. I wish I could wear t-shirts and flip-flops everyday. Attempting to maintain some level of professionalism in my wardrobe is very tiring. I mean, who really wants to iron when you could use that time to sleep?
9. I wonder what it would feel like to sleep completely through the night. That has not happened since at least December. I'm pretty sure it won't happen again until this December.
10. I can't wait for Baby Ryan to get here!!

The Tuesday Ten

I've been racking my brain to come up with something for the Tuesday Ten. So here are 10 things I have recently purchased (in no particular order):

1. A cute leather Coach wristlet to match my diaper bag
2. New polo shirts for Bryan
3. A Phoenix Suns/Steve Nash jersey for Baby Ryan
4. A new Coach wallet
5. More maternity clothes, this time in a size bigger because yes, I am actually outgrowing some of the stuff I bought in the first round!
6. Sparkly black Kenneth Cole flip flops for work, because I am to the point where I just cannot do heels everyday
7. A bunch of cute Carter's outfits for Baby Ryan. Did you know Costco and Sam's Club carry these outfits for less than $6 a piece?
8. Sunless tanning lotion
9. A few songs from iTunes
10. Two story books about a baby polar bear for Ryan

The Tuesday Ten

This week...10 things you may not know about me.

1. I was born on the same day that Elvis died.
2. I used to be a substitute teacher. It sucked, but it paid the bills.
3. I am in the process of starting my own freelance writing business.
4. My favorite color is red.
5. The furthest I have ever traveled is Adelaide, Australia.
6. I hate to iron. This is excellent news for the local dry cleaner.
7. I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies.
8. I am paranoid that I am going to burn my house down by leaving my flat iron plugged in all day.
9. I never loose stuff, but somehow I've managed to lose my iPod twice in the last couple of months. It is currently MIA.
10. I have never run out of gas. Though with my new car I have tried a few times because the steering wheel covers up the gas gauge and I don't notice that there's an issue until the light comes on.

(Because I've been a bit of a slacker on posting lately, I stole the idea of "The Tuesday Ten" and figure at least once a week I can come up with a top ten list about something!)
