Weston and I went to dinner with the Chi O Girls last night at the Cheesecake Factory in
the mall.
Jayme guessed my news by my lack of caffeine and we told Melissa. April already knew because she found a picture of a test on my phone about 3 weeks ago. ;)
They were all beyond happy and so encouraging.
Dinner was ok. This pregnancy doesn't like cheese. Especially cheddar. So my dinner last night was just ok. I'm wishing that I'd gotten the Chicken Bellagio - mainly so I'd have lunch today.
Anyway, April needed to find some baby jeans for her daughter, since it's been so cold lately. So, we
were in Baby Gap, and all the way at the back of the store is the clearance section
and Maternity section. Weston became obsessed with the maternity
mannequins. He kept rubbing their bellies and lifting up their shirts
and I had to explain what they were. Then he asked where the babies
were, and we told him that they were just pretend to see how the clothes
looked, etc.
On our way out of the store, Weston stops at the door, turns to me and asks, "Mommy, do you have a baby in your belly?"
We
about died. April and I kept trying to change the subject, "Let's go to the next store! Have you seen these shoes yet?" He tried 3
more times before we had him distracted enough not to answer.
Today though - I wonder if he was calling me fat or if he really is clairvoyant. does my belly look like the mannequin's already? I don't know which is worse?!?
But all-in-all, it was a hilarious night.

an open letter to JJ Abrams...
Dear Mr. Abrams,
I am a huge fan. From Felicity to Alias (OMG, Alias!!!) to LOST to Fringe and on to Star Trek, Super 8 and beyond, there is very little that you can do wrong when it comes to my personal entertainment over the last twenty years. (Yes, I enjoyed Forever Young and your early writings too.)
When I had heard that you were taking on the Star Trek franchise, I was beyond excited. When I saw the movie I was enraptured and completely blown away by your lighting and the visual effects.The story was fantastic - a reboot would have been too simple. An alternate timeline though? Brilliant! I loved the casting of hard working but not über-famous actors. We could grow with these characters.
You have made me love this storyline when I only had room in my American NerdGirl heart for Skywalkers and Solos.
That being said... This three year wait has been brutal. I understand that it takes time to make movies of this caliber, I really do. But the selfish movie-lover in me is impatient. I haven't even seen this new movie, and I am already hoping that you are hard at work on the next one.
Please be working on this next installment. Please get a head start. You know the world is on the edge of our seats for the next chapter. Please.
Oh, and Mr. Abrams - I am expecting the same care and treatment for the Star Wars franchise as you've given Star Trek. I'm just saying....
Sincerely,
an Iowa NerdGirl
P.S. I forgot to mention my favorite of what feel are your signature traits, and it goes back to actors: I Love how you value the actors that you work with. I love how I continue to see them pop up through your various endeavors - Hello, Greg Grunberg in Felicity, Alias, and a single memorable episode of LOST. It says a lot about you and your work, and about the quality people that you work with. Thanks for this too!

I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!
So, I was driving behind a 1990s Dodge Stratus this morning on my way to work and it reminded me of the best SNL clip ever. Saturday Night Live (in the 1990s - 2002) was a staple of family time with my brother, sister, and myself. I texted each of them this morning and what did I get back? "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!" Instant smile and happiness on a Thursday morning... in case you're confused:
