Because I'm a slacker...

10 days, huh? I'm apparently rubbing off on %%diary-lorster%%, as it had been 6 days for her.

Okay. Bits and bobs-

My crocuses (croci?) are sprouting green and purple and I am so delighted I can barely contain myself.

I miss %%diary-oddly-enough%% and wish she would update soon. I wonder if she's kicking her little bro's ass for slacking off in school or just taking away any link to modern technology he might have.

The G's uncle Con has reached new levels of insensitivity that I cannot comprehend. His racial slurs, his double-dipping, incessant commentary during the Masters-it's a game of GOLF, not WWII or the fecking situation in the middle east!, and need to draw attention to what I ate during Easter Brunch (that bastard ate more than I did!) have compelled me to dream of strangulation or suffocation.

My window boxes for flowers got built on Saturday and I am tickled pink. I cannot wait to set them up in front of the apartment and plant lots of little flowers. It's amazing how things growing really make me happy these days.

I was included on this month's incentive at work which makes me incredibly happy, as it should double my check. Thankfully the bosses have deemed me worthy of recieving the same as the rest of the staff, which makes all the work I do not seem so pointless. I am actually motivated to be there more, and that's saying a lot!

I am beginning to pooch and the need for maternity clothes has gone from minor to essential. I learned the hard way on Thursday that regular pantyhose just don't cut it when you are pregnant. Fortunately for me, I found some clearanced out to $1 a pair and bought six. My dress and other shirts that were ordered early last week have arrived at my mother's house, and I will most likely pick them up tomorrow so I can have a variety to choose from. I have also learned that my regular black shoes are not meant for swelling feet. Mom has suggested shopping for those the next time we get together over a weekend, so that we may hit the mall and try to find some reasonable shoes for me to wear to work.

The G has been extra lovey lately and I must admit, it's very nice. He's been randomly walking over to me and rubbing my back without my asking, giving me extra kisses and just generally being sweeter than usual. Mom did point out that I *am* carrying his child and maybe this is just his way of showing how much he appreciates it. Not sure, but either way, I am not going to knock it.
