Thing I Like..

It occurred to me that there used to be other things to occupy my time and mind besides Pre-Eclampsia and loss and pregnancy and worry. I will be back there someday - so I wanted to reminisce on the things I used to love and take some time to enjoy them.

* SHOES! I love shoes. The higher the heel the better. Not a fan of peep toes on me though - I think my toes are too ugly. Pointy toe works well on a really high heel. I went through my shoes the other day and it will feel like Christmas when my feet fit in them again ( no hurry Sprout... no hurry at all little boy)

* Coach bags. I love all bags - but something about a nice Coach bag - they last forever. It's like a comfortable old T-shirt- always perfect. With how much I love coach - you would think I would have visited the coach outlet near me... I am getting to it. I am sure I would love the pricier labels as well - but have tried to stay away out of respect for my bank account.

* Bar Harbor Maine. It is the hubby and I's happy place. We will move to Maine some day. It's beautiful and just feels so amazing and right when we are there. First visit was the honeymoon - back every year (at least once) since - except this year - too sad this year.

* Mint chocolate chip milkshakes with vanilla syrup - mmmmm

* speaking of mmm - thai food. I love it.

* I love my job ( hopefully it will be waiting for me when Sprout comes along!).

* my superbly flashy oakley's. they are gold and scream stare at me - my hubby hates them!

* outfits consisting of chocolate brown and baby blue (hmmm - maybe a nursery theme there).

* lemon poppy seed muffins

* music - I totally love Pico vs. Island trees , Ben Harper and my chemical romance right now

* vodka - I love vodka - Belvedere especially

* running and playing in the leaves with the daschies

* comfy amazing jeans with amazing shoes

* a night of drinking with the boys from work - too bad those days will never really be as frequent as they once were

* getting paged in to work up on organ donor

You know, I really really like my life. a child will be a wonderful addition - one I have worked very hard for - but all in all my life rocks. So much depends on my job though. I love my job. Thankfully even if I am out 6 months a replacement takes at least 1.5 years to train - so not worth it :p. I love how it feels to work a 24 hour shift giving out organs - I love the over time and double time.

* I LOVE my hubby is going to make cookies right now

* Autumn - my favorite season ever. The crispness of the air. Pumpkin Spice lattes. Early Darkness (yes, I actually enjoy this!).

  3. You sound happy Jamie, with things in perpsective. I feel much the same, even amidst this terrible loss. So happy, but just sad. You sound like you are doing well. Thanks for commenting on my blog....I wish you didn't relate to me but maybe we can help each other. I want to get pregnant so bad and know I will be a mess, too. ALl I want is babies. And a year ago I thought I was so done after being pregnant then. Enjoyed all your "likes". Funny how entering into parenthood changes things...you are finding out! :) hugs,
