Okay, I'm like half asleep right now... but I'm still so excited!  ZzZzz 

Army really wants the Stokke Xplory, but I'm IN LOVE with the Orbit Infant System.  Especially after watching this video.  *Please watch the video!*  The Stokke system costs about $200 - $300 more, so I don't know if I wanna push it that high.  *hehe* (inside joke)  It'll probably be the most expensive thing we buy for baby.  The initial cost of the Orbit being $900 and Stokke being $1,200, it's quite the investment but at least if we do decide to resell it, we can get at least 60% of our money back from eBay.  Bed time.

So yesterday at work, I was listening to Country radio on my headsets... (my MP3 player doesn't pick up a lot of stations.. ).  During the commercial break, I heard an advertisement  about a new salon that just opened up in Dover AND they were offering 30% off on all coloring services until the end of November.  I was like, "OMG YAY!"  But then I realized I didn't catch the name of the salon!  Arg.  So I kept tuned into that dang country station for 4+ hours!... hoping that I would catch the ad again, but no luck. 

So when I got home from work.  I went straight to the radio station's website, hoping that I would find some info there.  But still nothing.. I even searched Yahoo.  Nothing!  So I gave up and moooooved on.  *sigh*    Checked mail and got a letter from school saying that I'm falling behind and I need to get back to studying.  It's been 2 freakin months since I hit the books.  Nausea and the whole moving thing got me sidetracked.  But I told myself that I'm gonna get back in the groooove.

When Army got home, I told him about the school letter and that I plan on studying A LOT this Sunday.  And he gave me this sad face .. and I was like, "what's wrong, why sad face?"  And he said, "But I was planning on surprising you with something."  *still sad face*  And I started laughing.. and asking him what was it.. that I didn't need anything.  And he told me that he got this ad in the papers about a new salon.  And I was like, "OMG. WAIT. STOP... are you talking about that new salon in Dover with the 30% off thing?!"  And he was like, "yeaaaa, I was gonna surprise you but you always ruin my surprises, now you know."  *still sad face*  I was laughing because he had no idea of the ordeal I went through trying to find the name of that dang salon.  I explained the whole thing to him.  And he was just like, "See I know what my chubby cheeks want.  I'm good."

You're the best!

I  you baby butt.

I never heard a single word about you, falling in love wasn't my plan,
I never thought that I would be your lover, come on please just understand.  This is it.

p.s.  Appointment scheduled for tomorrow!

Happy Halloweeny Everyone!

She fell asleep while playing games with Vera.  It was so cute, and this was the first time she's fallen asleep like this.

btw my new camera should be here tomorrow! eeeeee!

I've been loving this camera ever since I saw the commercials.  And after playing around with it at Best Buy, I thought it was so cool!  Now I don't have a nice point-and-shoot camera... been SLRin' it for a few years, but I've been really wanting a high quality p&s for those times I don't wanna lug around the SLR.  I bought the camera off hsn.com because of the FlexPay.  And I read it had HD video capabilities but I was just like "whatever, I have my Mino" then I checked on YouTube for the quality of the video and it's pretty awesome!  Check out the cute baby in HD!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuwamCpgdFc

(Blogged yesterday.)  So that's the date.  I never ever thought that I would have a wedding after marriage.  I kinda always thought it was taboo or "not as special" but Army kept suggesting it and saying it was "Ok"... that I didn't have to worry about a thing and he always wanted me to have my dream wedding.  So that's why we decided that we're going to do it and we picked our 10 Year Anniversary, which should be plenty of time for us to save up enough money to have that dream wedding... it's like 7 1/2 years from now.  But I can hardly wait.    It'll be sort of a winter theme wedding with tons of content to symbolize a 10 Year Anniversary, which they call it "Tin." lol  Why can't it be Silver, Diamond, Gold or Pearl!?  But, that will come one day.    Some symbolic things for a Tin Anniversary are aluminum, daffodils, diamonds, blue sapphire...  So picture a white wedding with shades of silver/metallic, crystals and poppin blue sapphire.  The bridesmaid dresses will definitely involve a rich deep blue and/or a silver/metal color.  To me, it's all about the DETAILS.  Everything will be intricate... awe-inspiring.  I'm not about simple when it comes to my wedding.  I want it to be grandiose, in every single way.  I'm pretty sure that even my wedding dress will be full of embellishments.

I love that show Say Yes to the Dress on TLC.  Maybe I'll go to Kleinfeld in NYC to get my dress.  We were actually suppose to go to NYC today but Avani has been sick with a fever since yesterday.  (  We'll probably go next weekend.  The girls are really excited to go to that big Toys R Us in Times Square again.

Okay, that's enough blogging for one day.  I'll leave you with some dresses.  I think they're all Kenneth Pool dresses except for the last one by Vera Wang.  I am a sucker for a ball gown silhouette!

Here we are, at the hotel, killing time. My precious, precious Avani.

Video dated 8.31.09.

About the past couple weeks.

• I've been crazy nauseous & tired since 9 weeks up.  Somebody save me!  It's like feeling like you have to throw-up all the time and your mouth has this awful sour after taste that never goes say. 
• Moved out on August 31, 2009.  Moved in on September 6, 2009.  Not the place that I posted in a previous blog, but it's better!  Had to stay in hotel for 2 days and at someone's house for 4 days.  That "someone" was a heavy smoker, that smoked EVERYWHERE indoors.  It sucked.  And not to mention, after a couple days there, the police came by to inform us that a registered sex offender moved into the neighborhood.  And guess where he was staying at?!  THE SAME PLACE WE WERE!!  He was coworkers with the homeowner but when the homeowner found out about it, he kicked him out.  Still creepy/scary though.
• We had to get 4 storage units to store everything during those few days w/o a place.  I was FLAMING MAD when I found out Army misplaced all my stuff.  I told him so many times to leave my stuff alone and I will take care of it.  But it got all lost and I HATED him for like 3 days. 
• My textbook is still MIA.  I haven't studied for 3 weeks. 
• I SLEEP ALL THE TIME!  I wish Army would wake me up when I tell him to.
• I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY DURING THE DAY!
• I rarely do my hair anymore, or my makeup.
• I've been wearing the same sandals to work all the time.  Need to find my shoes!
• Okay, I've been basically letting myself go.
• None of my jeans fit anymore!
• Maternity pants are still too big!
• Army's been really helpful, loving & understanding.  But I still feel insecure. 
• Vera started school a couple days late but she really likes her new school.  They already took school pics.  I'm a bit uneasy because her teacher only has a couple years of experience, unlike her previous teacher who had many, many years under her belt.  And I'm also worried that the curriculum is not as advanced/challenging.  And it only takes like 2 minutes to walk to the bus stop, so that's awesome.. and the school is like a 7 minute drive.
• Army or his mom gets Vera ready for school in the morning, because I have to be at work by 7am.
• Army got fired from his job, like 4 days ago.  It's pretty much because Corporate and the Regional Manager thinks he gets paid too much.  So they made some bullshit excuse saying that it was because the sales associates didn't greet customers properly.  And since Army was the only manager on duty, they blamed it on him.  Funny thing is they already had another person to take his place the following day after they fired him.  She gets paid less, of course.  Army's not too worried about it because he's been planning on quitting anyway to work at this other place.  But I told him he can't really quit yet because what about our health insurance?!?  He told me not to worry about it, he'll call HR and take care of everything.  So far we still have health insurance but that can be gone any day!  I AM STRESSED ABOUT IT!
• Cooper finally took a bath today.  how lay loo yah
• Avani is potty trained!  Took a couple months.
• My boobs have doubled (maybe more) in size.  And I'm only 3 months pregnant!  They're still small compared to average boobs. lol
• I've been too sick to unpack much.  Hence, the fact that everything still seems "lost" to me.
• Avani doesn't sleep in the crib anymore, she actually sleeps in a twin size bed.. all by herself!
• I wish I wore retainers, my teeth aren't straight anymore. 
• I WANT A NEW CAMERA!  I WANT A NEW LENS!  I can't decide which one I want more!  But for camera, the Canon 7D is definitely on the top of my list.  And lense or is it lens... I always get that messed up.  Even after a few years, my dream lens is still the 85mm 1.2L.. AND even after a few years AND a newer version later, it's still pretty pricey $$$$$, definitely holds it's value well.  Not good for me though... I think used it's like $1,400+  But it'll be a good investment... I can probably resell in years down the line for around the same price I bought it for.  So new camera or new lens.. hrmmm.  What I don't like about my 20D is mainly it's pretty noisy at ISO 800+.  Also, I think the auto-focusing could be more accurate.  And it would be really nice to have a bigger & brighter viewfinder and LCD.  And of course, trying all these new features on the 7D would be so much fun! 

Okay that's all for now.  I'm gonna go clean up and go lay down...
