This came to me from my sister, but made me honestly laugh out loud.  I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but it makes me wonder how it will be for Emaleigh when she starts dating... I mean, her parents are morticians... think of the resources we have!

1. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME?
Yep. Oddly, she was conceived in a funeral home... haha.

2. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS?
"Uhh..." John was telling everyone and their mother, though.

3. HOW OLD WERE YOU?
23

4. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT?
I thought "man, I haven't had my period in a while" and the rest is history.

5. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST?
Todd (Toddles) Robertson who was our best friend in Bentonville.

Well, we finally broke down and spent mass amounts of money on baby-proofing equipment since the wee one is crawling with ease (and attempting to climb, too). The screen-gates that we had to mainly keep animals off her toys, blankets, etc. she finally figured out, so the real deal was in order.

I've gotten the office/playroom and it's adjoining bathroom baby-proofed and I'm already exhausted from huddling over drawers, screwing in latches and covering outlets. Fortunately Emaleigh was entertained with animal crackers and her new toys (teething links). By the time she got around to seeing what I was doing, everything was locked up. She even tried it out. Who knew a little piece of plastic could be so helpful.

Ah well, have a good evening everyone.

Well, Emaleigh officially has her own website (www.doodlepye.com), granted we pointed her domain to her livejournal until we decide to do something different. We made the LJ to serve as a sort-of virtual scrapbook, since my handwriting is less than perfect and I don't get around to printing pictures often enough.

She also has her first "edited" YouTube video. It's still pixelated, but better than the old webcam. It's also sideways since John is still learning all the ways of his Ipaq phone. C'est la vie.

Wow. Bill Nye the Science Guy is on TV still. There is some scary Alanis Morrisett wanna-be singing about a plant (I think) on there, too. Thats a bit frightening.

Emaleigh is becoming a jibber-jabber monster. She can officially say "momma, dada" and "i love you" (or a very close muttled version). She really wants to say "Pocket Pye" which is the given name for John's Ipaq pocket computer/phone. More over, she would like to chew on the PocketPye. From the mass amount of drool, I'd say her upper teeth are going to poke through sometime soon.

Other than that, I've got nothin. My car should have been painted today. Pervs are still on yahoo; they think I should be polite even though they rudely badgered for sexual favors and were turned down nicely twice. C'est la vie.

It's hard to type, much less do anything on a computer, with someone chewing on your disk drive.

Well, John has a new toy. His friend Dave is an instigator of sorts, and has started selling what the funeral industry refers to as "family cars" (and the average person calls a "limo") in his spare time... and he has given one to John. Why? Because Dave-a-do still has, and has been selling off, old equipment from when John owned Grady Stone Aviation/Ozark Charters. Not that we have room for all the crap they had leftover and Dave is at least giving it to people who need it... like my OBGYN. lol. So if you know of anyone in the greater Fort Smith area that needs a mustang convertible, it appears my car is on the chopping block. There is just no talking him out of his land yacht.

In other news, Doodle turned six months old today! She finagled some icing from a cookie somehow and went on a sugar rush to celebrate. It was not pretty. Good times.

Oddly enough, after my last weirdo post about looking for old friends, I did manage to find my Jr. High friend I was looking for. It's pretty cool to talk to her again. In my pursuit, I also ran across someone I've known since elementary school... who actually *lives* in the area. I thought I was the only crazy to end up over here. =P Thirdly, someone that I saw probably 3 times a week when I worked @ Scamardo's found me online, so I've been getting all the '411' on how his company won't use them anymore. Fun stuff.

[18:59] Jackie: heh. i recorded Em with the webcam the other day and it picked up her farting
[18:59] Jackie: i was like "well, guess i cant send this to grandparents"
[19:01] Sputts: yes you can!!!
[19:01] Sputts: that would be the best!

( watch me )

Just an update; it's hard to type one handed.
(Doodle's in the other.)

Emaleigh was born Monday @ 12:46
7lbs - 7oz, 20" long
All is going well - hardly fussy. :)

Well, Miss Em will share her daddy's birthday.
She's scheduled to hatch @ noon on Monday.
Wish us luck!
