So I was convinced to go see a special screening of the Transformers movie this evening.  I hated that stupid cartoon because I abhor that transforming noise. You know, the coo-coo-coo-chee noise (yeah that made me cringe).

Andy said “Hey free tickets to the Transformers movie tonight.” Meh. “Jennifer and Francis are going.” Ok, just gotta do work tonight after.

It was totally fun, I enjoyed it. It had all the cheese of Independence Day with all the blow shit up of Independence Day. I’d probably go pay to see it when it comes out.

I know you guys don’t care, but I’m going to write about it anyway.  Karla was forced to give birth to her daughter, Juliette, because blood flow through the umbilical cord stopped.  She was born at 11 oz.  Doctors didn’t think Juliette would be able to have a breathing tube inserted because she was too tiny, but apparently the very smallest tube that is manufactured was able to be inserted and she is breathing fine with it.  Her heart is beating and I guess she’s just trying to live right now.  It’s a wait and see game for the next 48 hours to see if her liver and kidneys will function on their own.

edit:  I didn’t have time to edit these pics but I grabbed them last week.  Here’s Karla and Quincy pre-birth.

Andy and I were talking about me advertising on Clear Channel’s website with a banner ad.  I thought the banner should say “OhHeather.com, not porn, just pix!”  I’d probably get the traffic!

4 months to go.

1)  The wacky dresses are the ones that usually look the best

2)  A lot of boutiques won’t let you take pictures, and they’re the ones that are usually quite expensive.

3)  Bridal consultants usually have no fucking clue what you want even after you describe it 8 times.

4)  Bridal Superstores by Posie Patch needs to disappear into the biggest time-warp-black-hole ever.  They’re rude, they don’t have crap, and I had to wait in line for a half hour to even get checked in, and then wait another 30-45 minutes just to get a consultant to help me.  And it ended up being the old bat that didn’t ask us if we needed help but rushed over to help someone who just walked in the door 30 minutes late for an appointment.

5)  Two dresses in a size 6, 8, 10 and 12 by the same manufacturer will not fit the same.

6)  I still have a huge ass after the 30 some pounds of weight loss.

On another note to my bridesmaids:
I bought your gifts already.  I hope you like them but you won’t get to see them for another year from now.  HA!  (But I get plenty of time to pay for them all, and it will take a good while to actually do it.)

ouch

Andy and I just got back from walking for an hour at the Carmel version of Relay for Life.  My legs are on fire.

It doesn’t help that for an hour and a half before we (Andy, Joe and I) rode our bikes all around Westfield up to Cool Creek Park and rode up and down the hills of the trails.

I guess I worked off that Ritter’s ice cream and Big Hoffa’s BBQ.

Also, bag pipe music brings tears to my eyes.

The good and the bad

The good:  Joe moved back to Westfield yesterday.  Yay.

The bad:  My stepbrother’s wife’s water broke on Sunday evening.  She’s only 26 weeks along. We haven’t heard anything since she was supposed to be transferred to the IU Med Center, so if anyone’s interested I can update accordingly.

I tried to give my new lens one last shot.  I know it’s crap so it’s definitely going back.  If I can’t control it in a low light environment like a concert then what the crap is it going to do for inside weddings?  Crap, I say.
