Today is National Ask a Stupid Question Day...24 days remain

So here is a question...maybe not so stupid...but why do people think it is okay to clip their fingernails at their desk at work? Is it me or is that just odd?

Maybe it is the weather and the fact for the past three days I've shown up to work looking like a drowned rat, that I'm feeling a bit ornery...sorry.

Alas, we have 24 days left - however we had a doctor's appointment yesterday and the Nugget seems to have made itself comfortable and has not descended. One of the items I find so fascinating is that while the Nugget is cooking, it is practicing for life outside of the womb. I can tell you this...this Nugget has some fancy footwork and might become a professional Irish Jig dancer.

One of the many other things I'm fascinated by is the fact that the Nugget can "taste" what I eat. There have been studies that state if you want your child be a fruit/vegetable eater that you should introduce these foods during the second/third trimester. So when I found this out, I decided that I would do my best to try all sort of different ethnic foods/spices. This has worked for the most part but there are some definite staples in my diet that the Nugget will have an acquired taste for. For the most part, I haven't had many crazy cravings...early on I was like Elvis, wanting peanut butter and bananas. Then, my cravings turned into healthier alternatives: Pineapple, watermelon, apples, and asparagus.

Here is a list of my staples:
  1. Dunkin' Donuts decaf coffee (now with pumpkin spice)
  2. Pineapple
  3. Honeycrisp, or Gala apples
  4. Watermelon
  5. Strawberries
  6. Asparagus
  7. Cheese
  8. Grilled cheese sandwiches
  9. Cheeseburgers
  10. Pickles...this is the latest one
Please note that I love these foods separately, but not so much together - except the grilled cheese sandwich with pickles.

Hope you all have a wonderful day.
