Baby Shower...

So I've been kind of dreading this baby shower I was going to. It was for my cousin's girl friend, who I don't know very well, and she's much younger than me... so I figured it would be kinda awkward.

To my relief and everyone elses', it wasn't. It was actually a good time. No stupid baby games, just my family and hers... My family, being Norvells, were obviously rediculously obnoxious, but I think she's getting the hang of us.

I also realized how exciting it will be to have a little one in the family. This side hasn't had a baby in over 22 years, so this is a big freaking deal! I'm excited for them.

I'd Post Pictures More Often, but...

Blogger settings suck for picture posting. I hate it. The pictures never go where I want them to. My text ends up being all retarded and ugly... It's a bigger hassle than it's worth to me most of the time, but this time I might actually post some pictures. Mostly because the peonies, columbines, roses, irises, and everything else is in bloom... It's quite exciting. Also because we went camping this weekend and I have some potentially very cool pictures.

So perhaps I'll show you.

Tornado...

So here are some pictures of tornado damage. Some of you may have seen them... some not. There's also a picture of the tornado when it was 2 miles from my office. Kinda humbling really.

Another Reason Why I'm Smitten With Him...

I wanted to see Sex and the City (movie), just like most other women, this weekend. When I told him he said he'd go with me, even after several times I told him not to worry about it, I'd find a girl to go with - or I'd go by myself. When I mentioned going solo- he told me again he'd go with me.

(Let me just tell you all that I listen to a lot of Maxim Radio (don't you judge - I'm in the car a lot, and only so much angsty music will do it for me, so I tend to listen to gossip radio (the Cosmo channel sucks terribly, so I prefer the man version.).).)

So when he offered again, I told him that it was really ok - and that I'm sure just like all the guys on Maxim have said, he probably doesn't really want to go. (They've been making a point of calling any guy who goes to this movie a huge pussy.) When I told him that he didn't have to be a huge pussy and come with me - that I'd be fine by myself - he told me that they were assholes and that he wanted to go with me.

In. Love.
