This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color black and the number 14.

2. Have you or anyone in your family ever had braces? Hubby has
3. Name 4 things in your garage that you don’t think anyone else has in theirs. a dried pufferfish, a Blue Bell sherbet container full of leftover paint, a huge pile of Sunbeam car parts, 2 gamer beanbag chairs that I forgot to give to the kids for Christmas
4. Do you order Girl Scout cookies? yes! Thin Mints & Samoas
5. If you have a cat or a dog, what brand of dog/cat food do you feed them? cat-whatever I have a coupon for; dogs- Ol’ Roy

11. When you put silverware in the dishwasher or in the drainer to dry, do you put the handles up or down? down, unless it’s something sharp

13. Share a website with us. TankOnEmpty
14. Water – bottle or tap? tap that’s filtered through the fridge
15. Have you ever eaten a giant jawbreaker, the ones that are the size of the palm of your hand, all the way to the end? not the way you are supposed to – I smashed it with a hammer

After a sleepless night of contractions, I thought I might get to have a baby today. NOPE. They were just teasing me and stopped as the sun was coming up. I had a sono on Monday and she is already 7 lbs. 1 oz., so I’m really hoping we don’t go past our Oct. 13th due date!!

I’m going to be re-arranging the blog again, just in case you drop by & it’s a mess! I wanted a wider posting area, but these background colors are just depressing – so I’m switching back to my old 4-column template.

After months of disagreeing searching, we finally have a name for Baby Girl! (For my bloggyworld friends – I’ll share her name here when she is born, and after that she’ll have a silly nickname like all the other kiddos.) Naming a baby is such a huge task. Our kids’ names are all a little uncommon, end in ‘a’ or ‘ah’, and have a biblical meaning (though they are not all names found in the Bible). That narrows the field of available names quite a bit!

I came across this list of Worst Baby Names compiled by ancestry.com. Keep in mind that these horrendous names are of real, documented people from the U.S. Census Reports!! They all sound like something from a crude Saturday Night Live skit.

Ghoul Nipple

Acne Fountain

Lust T. Castle

Mary A. Jerk

Fanny Whiffer

Envy Burger

Mule E. McCart

What’s the worst baby name you’ve ever heard?

For all of my fellow Gomers out there, Third Day will be performing tonight on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. WooHoo!!!

Our poor computer had a nasty virus for the past two weeks ( My computer genius brother was visiting for the 4th & fixed it right up ) I’ve missed everyone & have a lot of catching up to do!

I’m changing things around a bit, just in case you drop by & things look a bit wonky )

I’ve finally gotten to the point where my good days out number my bad – so hopefully only another week or so of all-day sickness! I’ve missed interacting with all of you in bloggyworld. I haven’t even been able to think of anything to post with this foggy pregnant brain, but I hope to get back in the swing of things soon. Check back on Thursday for a little pregnancy humor. Thanks for sticking around!

It’s amazing how quickly time passes when all you can do is make sure the couch doesn’t run away. I usually start feeling better around the 12 week mark, so hopefully I have less than three weeks of sickness left!

Here’s a helpful piece of info for nausea relief – papaya enzyme tablets. They are cheap and really work!

That’s about all I have to say  LOL.  I don’t know what the deal is, but my brain is mush right now.  I think I have overworked it lately – we are trying to get our house ready to sell, planning a youth group retreat, and I just started teaching two classes for our homeschool CO-OP.  There’s no room left in there for brilliant blog posts.  HA!  Thankfully, things are slowing down a bit and I actually have some things to share with you in the coming days. I want to introduce you to our little friend Aaron, whom we sponsor through Compassion International, and let you know about some exciting things going on in bloggyworld through this organization. Stay tuned!
