Well, I've been gone for a long time, haven't I?

There have been so many times I thought about coming by to write something, but then I'd forget. Or I'd just not know what to write.  Then somehow almost three months has passed.  HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?  Life gets in the way.

I have some big news blogger friends.  Some of you may know already, but some of you who don't frequent my Twitter often may not know.

I'M PREGNANT!

Today I am 11 weeks and I still can't believe it!

The mister and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

[from my company's holiday party]

If you ever need help remembering if it's Christmas, then go here.

Also, if you feel like being generous, don't forget about my wish list.

I'd also like to say THANK YOU to the followers that have stuck around the past few months.  I'm not sure if there are many of you out there (please feel free to say hi, I want to know who is still out there).

I seriously don't know why I am working today.

At least I have Monday off.

I had to. [via]

So, it seriously doesn't feel like Christmas to me.

We have two decorations in our entire apartment. It's pathetic.

We don't need much for Christmas, but these would be nice.

• Books. If you know me even a little, then this would be obvious. I have an entire wish list dedicated to books I want.  
• Money. We need a little bit of green.  We've been trying to save up to go to Texas in January and traveling is damn expensive!  Also, seeing as how we just had to buy a new car battery yesterday [bye bye $145!], we could really use some extra money in our Texas fund.
• Desk. Seriously. The set-up that Rob has going on right now is not working. Your back aches after like fifteen minutes. [We are actually taking care of this tonight. We're getting this. Thanks Craiglist!]

That's seriously all I can think of.  We aren't asking for much.

So please, Santa, will you bring us these items that we want.
