Stroller is in!

My inlaws are AWESOME! They bought the Stokke Xplory stroller for us and I could not be happier! Little 'Anna Nicole' will be arriving in style!



The stroller is a Norwegian design. So what's the deal with the Nordic designers? Why do they create the most hard to understand instructions?

Take for instance our Ikea drawers and night stands. I understand that by not using language and using illustrations, you are able to sell your product to any culture and they should not have an issue deciphering the instructions, right? Wrong.

Same thing for the Stokke. The stroller arrived in 2 large boxes and booklets of picture instructions. Anyway, with DH around, we were able to put it together. I guess I will chalk this up to Pregnancy Brain and not having to picture-translate directions.

So Watermelon...I love it! And I love when its in season and on sale! Yippee! So is it possible to eat over 20 pounds of it in 4 days? I am here to tell you that it is possible. OMG, its so refreshing, esp. when you live in the Valley and its waiting for you, chillin in the fridge. On Wednesday, I managed to eat 1/2 of a 20 pound melon. Within the course of 2 hours, I must have peed like 6 times!

But I cant stop! I still have 1/4 of that watermelon in the fridge and I have 2 personal melons ready to go. Here's the issue...the fiber is making me so full, that I feel I could burst! I have been known to overdo a good thing. In Jr. High, I overdid Sunchips. We drove to Las Veags and that is all I ate in the miserable car trip. I may have associated the hot weather, the long drive to the Sunchips and that is why I never had one...over 20 years later.

And then there was Salmon. When I first moved to LA, I wanted to be healthy. So I ate a LOT of Wild King Salmon, as Ralphs would call it. I ate so much if it, that to this day, I cannot stand baked salmon or salmon sushi. ( I may have a little bit of the smoked salmon sandwhiches from Paris). But no Lox, no maple glazed, no sushi salmon.

And now, I am going to ruin watermelon for me. I really should go cold turkey soon or one of my fave foods wont be so appealing. And I really need my vices, because I have so few! So after Memorial Day Weekend, I promise to lay off the watermelon....or maybe I will take it easy. Hows one mini melon a week?


So its, Friday morning. I have a load of clothes and dishes going. Whatever shall I do today? Gym? To be honest, I am also overdoing the gym! Since the pregnancy happened, I have been working out 4-5 times a week! Before I was pregnant, I was only doing 3-4. So here I am, 7.5 months later, still going at it. Maybe I can do something else? Like walk for like 2 hours near the beach?

I'll figure it out...Whatever it is, I need to get my blood flowing because I feel so super shitty this morning. Exercise addict? Could be.... BRB.
