Gwen Stefani (eta)
She named her new baby boy...
ZUMA NESTA ROCK ROSSDALE
While Zuma is OK (it lives up to Kingston, which is actually cute), NESTA ROCK is just whack.
Opinions?

Good for them, but I STILL think it's absolutely nuts.

Baby's Alphabet
This is the craft project that I have been working on all summer! : ) It's an alphabet that I made for the baby. It hangs above his changing table! I put it up with no help! The top picture is a close up to show you what they look like a little better.
How I did it, you ask?
Well, I bought these wooden rectangles from the craft store. Then, I painted them blue (2 layers). Then I super glued the big letter in the top left corner (got them at craft store). Then, I found all the pictures on the internet and printed them black and white. They got rubber cemented on. Then, with green paint, I wrote the name of what the object was. Then (Eric's idea), I outlined the name of the object with black sharpie marker to make it stand out a bit more. Then, I used MOD PODGE all over the entire thing to give them the shiny look and to keep everything glued together! We gorilla glue'd adhesive putty to the backs and then I stuck them to the wall! : )
I got this idea from a lady on Babycenter.com.. She did it for her little girl's nursery, only they did landmarks in their city. We thought it would be cute if we just picked out an alphabet ourselves.
Tell me what you think!!!
It took a lot of work, but I am VERY happy with how it turned out. Eric loves it too!!! : )

Need to get a stain out of the carpet? And quick!?!
Well then, USE WINDEX!!!
I don't remember where I read this, but I read it in a magazine or on the internet somewhere. And it TOTALLY works! : )
-Make sure you blot the excess.. DO NOT rub it into the carpet!
-Continue to blot until it seems you can't much more
-At this point, apply some squirts of Windex to the stain
-Take paper towel or a sponge (or whatever you want) and LIGHTLY scrub.
-Test first in a very small spot to make sure you aren't rubbing into the carpet.
-If it is getting rubbed further, you need to blot more.
Side Note: You need to do this RIGHT AWAY when the spill occurs. I have never tried on a "set in" stain, but I think it might work differently. If you do it right away, it will definitely work.
Happy Stain Removing!

totally obsessed
ok.. so lately, i've just had not much to do. i just relax and watch movies and read and surf the net all day. which by the way, i DO NOT mind. : )
so i thought i would share my new obsession with y'all..
it's CREEPING ON OTHER BLOGGERS! haha - there are a LOT of really talented women out there in the world just blogging away about their home businesses and some of the crafty things they do. i LOVE looking at all the crafts and organizational do-dads because i HOPE that someday i will be that crafty. the women inspire me to be more and more crafty : ) ..i was never all that artistic, but i always made a killer poster board for school projects!
one thing i have noticed is that a lot of ladies have some interest in Stampin' Up. Stampin' Up is basically a stamping and scrapbooking company and they have A LOT of really cute and cool things. i already have some of their stamps because my mommy had some and now i have them! : )
so now i am totally INSPIRED to start getting a little bit more crafty with my spare time & maybe someday find my own little niche!
One blog I enjoy looking at (because it helps me "search the blogs" so to speak) is:
The Tip Junkie
Well anyways, CORN ON THE COB calls my name : ) In the accent of the adorable Heidi Klum "Byeeee"

Just want to say sorry
Just wanted to post to say I'm sorry if I've been ridiculously MIA lately. I've been nesting/cleaning like crazy and I do not keep my phone near me during the day. It's usually on the charger or in my purse and I NEVER hear it. And I'm terrible at calling people back, because I put it off and then forget. Whooooops!
So YEAH.. I'll try better to answer my phone during the day.
That's all folks! Ha.....

11 days..
until I am due! I am going CRAZY! I swear, every morning I wake up and I'm like IS IT TODAY? IT COULD BE TODAY! and then I start freaking out in my head and that's all I think about all day.
TODAY, however, I am going to relax myself and CLEAN THE APARTMENT BIG TIME.. ok, this is still relating to being stir-crazy.. BUT, at least hopefully I'll not sit on my butt all day and wonder if my water is going to break every time I go to the bathroom haha!
My list of chores:
*clean out vacuum cleaner
*vacuum everywhere
*clean & organize laundry room
*clean bathrooms (esp. shower & tub)
*clean kitchen - sweep and mop
*dust everywhere
*clean patio door.. again.. it always gets fingerprints!
*make bed
*load of laundry or two
*load of dishes
I have until 6pm to get this done.. think I can do it?!
Really, honestly, I have 8+ hours to do this in.. I SHOULD be able to get it done, even WITH lots of breaks! : )

38 weeks
Not really feeling up to taking a picture right now, but just thought I'd let everyone know I have hit 38 weeks. 14 days to go until the due date.
We're very ready for his grand entrance.. I'm more nervous than Eric is, but maybe he's just trying to keep his cool? Either way, it gives me peace of mind that one of us isn't freaking out. He's very confident & that helps me feel confident.
We've got the nursery finished, everything is washed, the hospital bag is packed, the diaper bags are ready to be packed, the phone # to Abuelo's is sitting right next to my keyboard, the car seat is in the car, the coming home outfit(s) are picked out and we're more in love with each other than we've ever been (which is a good thing, I hope to say that every day).
Long day today.. Eric is at work noon - 11. I went to Shopko & to Kohl's and just walked around. Got lots of stares and one creepy guy who I gave a dirty look to. Seriously, I'm pretty sure he was with his kids.. And they were DESTROYING the toy section, but he was just lurking behind a shirt rack staring at me. I did not give the friendly half-smile that I give to most lurkers.
Anyways, I am going to go read "Marley and Me" for a while. Then finish the movie, 21, because I fell asleep watching it the other night. Then watch some Brewers.
I promise a picture in the next couple of days.
