I am an idiot. And other ramblings.

So, I have lost my keys. My car key, my house key and my parent's house key. I feel like the biggest idiot right now.

Here's what happened:

Saturday hubby and I were getting ready to go to his sister's college graduation party. He's been having some issues with one of his tires having a constant slow leak, so he uses the air compressor he has before driving anywhere. Well, the compressor stopped working in his car, so he wanted to try it in mine. I tossed him my car keys, but it still didn't work. Here's where things get fuzzy. I am not 100% sure he gave my keys back to me. We have since torn apart his car, my car and the garage and they are nowhere to be found.

We did make a couple stops along the way and they may have fallen out at the first place I got out of the car, but we have not heard back from them on that. :-(

Luckily, I have a spare car key, so it's not that bad. But I just feel like the biggest fucking moron right now. How do you lose your keys like that? Ugh....


THEY'VE BEEN FOUND!!! They were wedged in hubby's car between the passenger seat and the center console. Phew!

And I do now actually look pregnant. I really haven't yet, but over the last week my stomach has just like exploded. I can no longer button my pants. So I stopped at this one maternity store to pick up a couple Bella Bands. They're these elastic bands that you can wear over the top of your pants and they just look like a tank top layered under whatever shirt you're wearing. It's pretty cool what they have nowadays. Oh! And the store has LONG pants!! Score! I was so afraid of not being able to find pants that would be long enough, but these looked like they would be good. Now I have a store to visit when I need pants! :-)

Did you find it using the time honored tradition of flopping down, sighing, and looking over as your gaze falls on them? :D Yays for finding your keys!!

Hubby got in the passenger seat and moved it as far forward as it would go. Then sort of looked around and saw the little keychain I made out of the little replicator block I have sticking out. Grabbed it and yay!! Success!!

Hurrah for finding house keys! And hurrah for awesome pregger pants! I want pictures of the belly1 *hops up and down impatiently*

Yay!!

Pictures?? Ugh, OK. I'll see what I can do this weekend... :-)

Only if you feel like taking some pictures. I know pregger folks are usually adverse to the camera...

I've been thinking about. So, we'll see... ;-)

I am glad you were able to locate your keys. I always freak when I think I lost mine.

When my best friend was pregnant she didn't show right away it was like one morning she woke up and poof there was a baby bump, although she was to cheap to keep buying new pants when they wouldn't button so she would use a rubberband through the loop and then hook both ends over the button. I guess she got the idea from an actual product that is out there that is basically the same thing only a covered band and like twenty bucks.

And I thought I'd lost my credit card last week! Luckily that was still in my pants pocket from when I had gotten gas. But, man, it's not been a good two weeks for me losing stuff! LOL

It really is like I woke up and there it was. Because I'm so tall I just have a lot of interior room for the baby to grow and I was wondering when I'd pop out. Happened over the weekend apparently. :-)

I think I've seen those things you're talking about. Those are just needless, I think. They also have ones that look like fancy belt buckles, too. But I've heard those are kind of painful as there's basically a button that goes on one end through the regular button hole. So it just digs into your stomach. Not good. I'm sure I'll break down and get some new pants, eventually. I'm just happy stores like The Gap and Old Navy now have maternity lines so I should be able to get some stuff rather inexpensively.

Agh! I missed that you're pregnant? Well, late congratulations!

Thanks! :-) I've been keeping most updates locked to just a few people. But every now and then I'll just put something out in general.
