There is a slight chance that these pictures were set up by someone other than Rocky. You can't blame me...I have to bring the cats back down from the mile-high pedestal that Anna puts them on so their heads don't get too big.

Rocky's Growing Up
And now back to the cats... I discovered Rocky enjoying some "private time" recently, although it was in our living room, so he wasn't quite as discreet as I would have hoped.

So I'm pretty sure I witnessed a drug deal today
I'm going to stray from Anna's format of cat-related posts and blog about various topics. To start, as the title states, I'm pretty sure I watched a drug deal "go down" today.
I was pumping gas near my office at one of the gas stations that has a detached bathroom building. I saw a rough-looking guy come out of the convenience store part of the gas station with a bathroom key attached to a foot-long stick. For the sake of this blog, we'll call the guy Ricky. So Ricky was on his cell phone and looking around, which seemed harmless enough. Then, rather than go into the bathroom, he got back in his car. This seemed odd, so I decided to watch him while my car finished filling up. About a minute later, a lowrider pick-up truck with extremely tinted windows pulled up and parked next to Ricky's car.
(On a side note, I remember asking my parents to get my car windows tinted when I was in high school and they responded with, "Absolutely not. Only drug dealers have tinted windows." This was while we were riding in my mom's minivan with tinted windows, by the way. On another side note, they also though that only drug dealers had beepers, so I wasn't allowed to have one of those, either.)
A skinny, strung-out-looking girl then got out of the pick-up and got into Ricky's car. Again, this seemed kind of weird, especially since the driver of the truck didn't get out. A minute later, the girl got out of Ricky's car and back into the truck, while Ricky got out of his car and went to the bathroom. My car finished filling up while Ricky was shooting/snorting/smoking in the bathroom, and while I considered sticking around to confirm with Ricky that I did, indeed, witness my first drug deal, I thought better of it and went on my way. Must have been a drug deal, right? I think so. I guess my parents were right about tinted windows. I didn't see a beeper on any of the parties involved, so the jury's still out on that one.

It's a GIRL!
Anna has been a little preoccupied lately with developing our child in her body, working 10-12 hours per day, and being unbelieveably infatuated with our three cats. As such, I may make an attempt at blogging from time to time. As my first attempt, I am taking the opportunity to announce to the "blogosphere" that Anna and I are expecting a girl! Anna had an ultrasound on Monday, and some of the pictures of our daughter follow. Enjoy!
And for those who enjoy the "So, do you think she'll look like the mailman?" jokes, the ultrasound showed that our daughter has long arms and legs, as well as big lips. Know who else has those traits? That's right...me...her father.

New Favorite Site - MamaBargains.com
A friend from work introduced me to this site and in the past 24 hours I have checked it at least 10 times. I ordered a cute belly band from it yesterday for cheap and I hope I can find some other things on there too. Basically, the site has 1 "deal" at a time on it and the item changes several times a day. It's a simple operation from someone's home and they gets great deals from 50%-80% off original prices from all different vendors and is able to sell them online to us. Check it out and check back often to see if there is every anything on there you just have to have. Ok, maybe something you just want. Happy shopping!

Tagged!
Ok, finally decided to post something else again if only to stop the harrassment. At least I know I was missed :-) I think I've done one of these before, but they are quirky and fun so here I go again. Thanks for Alex for tagging me in her blog!
7 Random/Weird Facts about Anna
1. I'm pregnant! This is isn't necessarily random or weird, but I had to announce it somehow and #1 just seemed fitting.
2. I almost always sneeze 8 times when I sneeze. This started when I was in college and would leave Tiger Town Tavern. The smoke would make me sneeze every time I left a bar and it would always be 8 times. It still happens today and I have no idea why!
3. I love my cats more than I love most people I know. Sorry, it's true. Of course there are some exceptions so don't be offended (I'm sure you're one of them...) Anyways, I never even had a cat before 2005 but I love my 3 to death. And please no one say that I will stop loving them after our baby is born. They may not get as much attention, but I will still love them to death. Seriously, don't tell me that.
4. The real fruit smoothies at Sonic are my new indulgence. They are heaven in a non-recyclable styrofoam cup!
5. Speaking of styrofoam cups, I get secretly irate when people don't recycle. There is NO reason not to. LOVE the Earth :-)
6. My husband suggests that one of my 7 random/weird facts is "That I have a ridiculously good looking husband." Yep, he's pretty rando/weird.
7. Discovering my love of Sunkist/Diet Sunkist was wonderful this year. Finding out that it has caffeine and I'm not allowed to have it (semi-not allowed) is a bummer :-( I miss it . . .

Stuff White People Like
OK, this site is hilarious and I must share: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/
Now I'm not trying to be PC here so I don't care how it sounds. White people crack me up and some of the items on this site are dead-on. I don't necessary think I identify with most of these, but there are a few that make me laugh out loud because either it describes me or I can picture some white asshole I already know that does something on the list. Just browse through it and I'm sure you'll find something too. Here are snippets of some of my favorites.
#64 Recycling
"If you are in a situation where a white person produces an empty bottle, watch their actions. They will first say “where’s the recycling?” If you say “we don’t recycle,” prepare for some awkwardness. They will make a move to throw the bottle away, they will hesitate, and then ultimately throw the bottle away. But after they return look in their eyes. All they can see is the bottle lasting forever in a landfill, trapping small animals. It will eat at them for days, at this point you should say “I’m just kidding, the recycling is under the sink. Can you fish out that bottle?” And they will do it 100% of the time!"
#5 Farmers Markets
"White people also like Farmer’s Markets because it is outdoors (they love being outdoors), they can bring their dogs and children in expensive strollers, and they get to see other white people. "
#99 Grammar
"White people love rules. It explains why so they get upset when people cut in line, why they tip so religiously and why they become lawyers. But without a doubt, the rule system that white people love the most is grammar. It is in their blood not only to use perfect grammar but also to spend significant portions of time pointing out the errors of others."

Good Vibrations
Rocky loves to be on top of the washing machine while it's running. Adorable, isn't he? Alan is scared he's going to jump up there one day with the door open, but I know he's smarter than that! He just loves to be anywhere that he's not supposed to be and doing things that he's not supposed to be doing.
Here's another picture of my little boy being incredibly curious and almost falling sideways as I am taking his picture. He cocks his little head to the side every time he is intrigued and this time he wanted the string on the camera. Couldn't you just kiss that little sweet face???
