Penny Rene: March 2008 Archives
I had big thoughts to speak of but just spent the last hour trying to figure out why my Twitter badge (See green square, upper right) displays my quotation marks all screwy. Now I'm exhausted from struggling with discouraged brain cells. And my ass is numb.
Goodnight.
Goodnight.
Florida was beautiful. I had no idea Orlando was so hip with it's flashy fountains and craftsman style houses backed right up to central downtown. I also did not think through the lack of sun in March. Luckily, however, we did get enough days of deadly UVs for both Mike and I to sunburn a bit. Of course August was thoroughly protected and has not a red patch on her. Just so you know we are good parents.
First haircut by Uncle Gio. He has a Salon there.
Here's a few pictures from our trip - complete with an obligatory shot of my belly on the beach. I am delighted that I have yet to get stretch marks from pregnancy, though Mother Nature has evened out the score by giving me hair that like I am starring in Wayne's World III and a complexion liken to that of a rightfully depressed 14 year old boy.
But doesn't August look like magic? And I want to eat Mike in his new glasses.

Countdown to Florida. Ten hours or so until we hit the road to the Atlantic City Airport.
Yep! All clear from the Doc.
And guess what else the Doc said?
Looks like we're having a boy. Holy crappa.
I'll write from the poolside. Be jealous.
I got this idea from Maggie who maybe got the idea from Oprah's magazine. Not sure. Either way, it's long overdue.

Some people dream of the day when the doctor says "What you need is some rest. I insist that you spend at least the next few days in bed." And I admit, I was one of those people. Until now.
I've been in bed for approximately 24 hours and I'd give just about anything to be allowed to do something besides surf the internet and watch movies. Do you have any idea how bad daytime TV is?
