November first has long been my favorite day of the year. In commercialism-speak, it's practically Christmas. I like to think of it as the beginning of the end. In calendar-speak, it's practically 2008 already.
I am also onto a new trimester and by jove, I feel better already. This morning I didn't wake up thinking I was going to heave last night's mini snickers (offered to me by a darling Phoebe) but instead awoke feeling ravenously hungry. Big difference.
I need to mention here, for those of you who come in contact with me on a daily basis, that your consideration is requested. There is a certain word that can actually set of a very dramatic spasm of dry heaving when it is uttered in my presence. It is the noun for a classic American meal consisting of dough (in a round), sauce of tomatoes, cheese, and other items which are commonly called "toppings." For instance, while we were out the other day, Chup innocently suggested that we lunch at California _ _ _ _ _ Kitchen. And while I was doubled over in my agony, Chup laughed uproariously. I guess it's funny?
I also cut my hair in big chunks off my head. Well, I didn't actually cut it myself, a girl named Jill did. She was perky enough, although, she mistakenly left the back a bit too long which Chup snipped using his own trimming scissors and great eye for style. I have a testimony of short hair, I know it's true. So true. Amen.
I'd like to write more about the grandiose that is ma vie, but I can't stop thinking about how my brother "Little Jesse" showed up at my parent's house last night in a skin-tight lycra Batman outfit complete with a mask and mini-cape. Not to be outdone, Topher arrived to the party as "Woody" cow-lined chaps and all. It wasn't right. It just wasn't right. But now, the day after, I keep wondering how hot Chup would've looked in either costume. Instead, he donned a kimono smoking jacket that he picked up in Japan. I mean, for a 6'5" white guy who doesn't smoke, it looked a little ill-fitting. But Chup in the Batman get-up? How do you say Yes please! in Japanese?
Oh well, there is always next year . . .

I LuHuve November 1st, because it means only 15 days until my birthday. And yes, I am counting.
With my first pregnancy there was one specific person I could not stand to be around or even the thought of. I would just feel ill. That might not be the same as a certain food. But I know how you feel.
Glad that you are starting to feel better.
I look forward to new posts.
I'm with you, November 1st is cool. Now it's time to think about family and good food. If we could just get some fall like weather around here it would make life sooo much better. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
So I shouldn't bring up Totino's ____ bites? Or DiGiorno make it at home _____? Or the way I love to have anchovies on mine?
In the mouth of two or three witnesses, amen.
You know how I feel about CPK.
I also have a testimony of short hair. I'll never, no never, no never forsake! {can you guess what hymn that is from?} Is that sacreligious? If so, sorry, but it really fit!
Love your new do!
I forsee a new hairstyle in my future as well. (Some trick or treater with a crystal ball told me that last night.)
You are a very photogenic young lady ms cjane. Pregnancy looks good on ya!
Isnt' it sinteresting (and strange) what pregnant bodies find repulsive during pregnancy.
that should be "interesting" not "sinteresting".
Oh how I pine for the days I am ravenously hungry. Right now I just feel barfy.
You have a cute nose....
Just wanted to tell you that again.
oh c jane! You have to go check out my posts on 10/30 and 10/31 (read them in order)...it has to do with barfing (and hopefully now that you're slightly better, won't inspire more). The post comes complete with a Barf Training video. Maybe a little late, but helpful, nonetheless.
i can't believe you feel that way about p-i-z-z-a. yikes. i'm cracking up thinking of your brothers. chup would be great in spandex.
so glad you are feeling better.
when do you find out the gender?
ps i'm w/you on the short hair.
Jed Wells is one of those computer geniuses I wish I knew personally, so he could create me a banner as cool as yours!
I wish you a happy 2nd trimester, and a happy November 1st (as I listen to Eartha Kitt sing Santa Baby!)
What do I do about feeling pukey AND ravenously hungry? It is a paradox I could live without, thank you.
Glad you are entering the second trimester. If only because it means I am only one week away from the same!
Happy 11/1 to you then!
i don't know you, but your blog is very entertaining. thanks for that.
i have a testimony of short hair too. amen.
Don't you just love a guy in a good costume? Glad to hear that you are feeling better. When I was pregnant with all 3 girls, I got sick at the thought of chocolate and soda - now that was hard.
I love Nov 1st because it's my Noni's birthday!
I'm glad you're feeling a little better!
And many thanks for your sweet testimony...
I have a testimony of short hair too and it looks so good on you!
Nov. 1st...That means Christmas is like nexrt week, right after Thanksgiving on Thursday, followed by New Years a week from Sunday. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Not enough time! May your pukiness fly south for the winter and never return! [just don't let it fly directly over Lubbock]
kalli, it's still 15 days till your birthday? i thought it was past and gone. man am i out of it.
and ceej, i'm sad you don't like PIZZA!!!! pizza pizza pizza. (when you write pizza that many times in a row, it looks like you're spelling it wrong...) just when i think you are joining the ranks of us non-veggie junk food eaters (aka: the normal people), you let me down... harumph.
i guess we'll always have peanut m&m's.
and if you changed your tune on that, just lie to me. i don't think i could take it.
ps- "make over with a smile."
tee-hee.
i love your hair
I love the 1st of November too.
What a happy photo of you! I'm glad trimester #2 seems to be off to a good start.
I am going to Shep's today for the first time ever. If they do me wrong, I probably won't show up for lunch. Please pray. I just really can't cope with ugly right now.
Sorry you can't take the p-word! I had a friend who puked every time she smelled, saw, or heard "ground beef."
Tonight I need your sweet caress. Hold me in the darkness.
Congrats J you just won the prize.
If I remember my Japanese correctly, "yes, please" is "Hai, dozo."
Of course, it's been MANY years since I lived in the "Jap Shack" (BYU's Japanese language house -- which has since been torn down and made into a bus stop).
Love the short hair! I just got "Frances'" hair cut really short and she is LOVING it. She is now a firm believer.
I've had Breathe in my head all day. So thanks.
For like 10 years I didn't know this line (until i got married and my manly husband taught me the correct lyrics): Tonight you'll calm my restlessness.....
OH I bet you all had some laughs with the Woody costume!! I have to giggle every time I hear my kids referring to their Woody TOY STORY character that floats around around house. Yes most days my mind is in the gutter! Thank you Pixar for the laughs!!
praise God that you are feeling better and have crossed the threshold to your second trimester! Such an important time in every pregnancy! And feeling better is a great bonus too!
you look adorable!
Sooooo, when do we get to see the haircut in person?????
love the blog makeover! and you.. many, many congratulations!!! You will be the most fun mom on the planet!
I'm so glad you are starting to feel better. And, I like your new template.
