Is there anything better than a hearty grilled cheese sandwich made with thick slices of tomato and half of a ripe avocado?
Well, maybe if you paired it with some potatoes and ketchup.
That was delicious.

11 Things About Me:
It is really hard to think of 11 facts about yourself on the fly.
—————————————–
Questions from Run|Bake|Race:
1. What song on your iPod are you most embarrassed by?
I LOVE techno/trance/house music. I’ve loved it since high school and people used to make fun of me, but now it’s all the rage. Irving and I recently combined our music collections and when we set it on ‘random’ and some wierd techno song comes on, he just rolls his eyes.
Other favorite bands: Blink 182, Coldplay Green Day, Less Than Jake, Aqua, old-school Offspring. It’s a good balance. =)
2. What was your first concert?
I believe it was Blink 182 in High School. We got press passes and got to meet the band before the show too!
3. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Honestly, I wouldn’t trade anything. I love Los Angeles. I’ve lived here for 7.5 years and it really feels like home now. Second choice: Boston (closer to family). Internationally: Somewhere in Europe, just for a year. That would be awesome.
4. What would your last meal be?
Grilled Cheese w/Tomatoes, extra pickles on the side. Pazooki for dessert. I’m a simple girl.
5. What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
6. Do you still have a t-shirt from high school or college?
I actually have a shirt from 4th grade (all my classmates signed it), a shirt from Junior year of High school and a handful of shirts from College.
7. Is your computer a laptop or a desktop?
I have a desktop computer that my husband and I built from scratch! We also have a netbook for traveling.
8. What would your dream job be?
Professional home organizer. We love to organize and declutter. It’s turned into an obsession lately. I’m sure our enthusiasm will die down once the nursery is put together and we can enjoy our family of three!
I also would love to run an ebay store so I can have an excuse to go to the post office everyday. I LOVE shipping things.
9. What is your favorite holiday?
I used to think Christmas was my favorite, but the older I get, the more I like Thanskgiving. It’s so nice to relax, enjoy family and unplug for a few days without the chaos and hubbub of gift giving and the new year.
10. Did you go to college in a different state than where you grew up?
My dream school was Emerson College. I wanted to go there since I first heard about it in 7th grade. I was lucky that it was in Boston, just 30 minutes from where I grew up. I wouldn’t have changed any of it, it was awesome.
11. Do you dread going to the doctor?
Not really. In high school, when I had cancer, I was going to the hospital a few times a week, so you get used to it. Now, I look forward to it for peace of mind and to ask all my questions. I like the doctor even more now because I get to see how my baby is developing and that’s always exciting. =)

My Questions for them:
Feel free to leave a comment with some of your answers too!
We had a fantastic weekend up in the Bay Area. It was nice to relax with Irving’s family, peruse Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby (again!) and just hang out and talk about the baby all weekend long.
There were lots of photos taken like this. =)
But we didn’t want Irving to feel left out of the photoshoot fun. He’s going to be an AWESOME dad, I just know it. He’s the best.
Our friend, Erica, came with us too! She spent some quality time in the city taking amazing pictures. And she brought chocolate for the road trip, which is why we are friends. I’m sad we don’t have a photo together, but we had an awesome time. Made the drive go by super fast.
She and Irving took pictures from the Berkeley hills overlooking Oakland and the City on Saturday night. They came out awesome!
This morning, I woke up with a full blown cold. I felt it coming on for a few days and thought that maybe it was just the pregnancy sniffles I’ve heard about… but sadly, that was not the case. I ended up horizontal on the couch for the better part of the morning.
I watched a couple of movies and snuggled up in my new Pea-In-The-Pod socks that my mother-in-law made me! They are SUPER comfy and I think they are SO cute! She hand crocheted the ‘peas’ onto the ‘pod’. How cute are they! Thanks, Julie!
The only upside of being home sick today was being around when the delivery truck showed up with the baby furniture! Our crib and dresser/changing table came today!
I felt bad the poor guy had to lift these by himself (because I sure wasn’t going to try!) These boxes will have to wait patiently for a few more weeks until the baby’s room gets cleaned out and painted.
I think I have this in my future tonight:
How I’m Feeling: Still feeling really great! People keep telling me how lucky I am that pregnancy has been so enjoyable for me. I think I have a pretty calm and chill baby in there who already loves his/her mama.
I definitely felt a bit run down after a crazy weekend last week though. Nothing bad, but I notice I can’t keep up with my old self any more. I have to start keeping that in mind when planning day-long excursions when I’m on my feet.
But it was a fantastic weekend! We went to Buy Buy Baby, two Babies-R-Us stores and two targets all in one weekend. It was crazy! I think we’re starting to get all the pieces in order.
It was all baby, all day long. Test driving strollers is hard work!
At the end of the weekend, we even found and ordered the crib we love (it was on sale!!) It should be arriving in a few days! I don’t know what we’re going to do with it yet, but least we have it! So exciting!

I used to watch ‘Teen Mom’ and ‘16 and Pregnant’ all the time. Now, I don’t have cable, so sadly that train wreck of a show no longer graces my television, but my sisters keep me up to date on what’s going on.
Anyways… My sister posted this picture of her boyfriend, Chris last week and I almost died laughing. SO FUNNY!
Just had to share!
