I’ve mentioned before in a previous post how I use my middle name “Anne” (but I say “Annie”) when I order at restaurants because I figure my real name “Rena” is too difficult for people to spell, let alone pronounce later on. I do this to make it easier on people, but I am SHOCKED at how badly people spell “Annie”. I’ve gotten everywhere from “Ani” to “Any”. But yesterday was the winner. At Rubio’s the clerk took my name and when my food was ready, I almost didn’t hear my order because they were calling out for “Randy”. Really?! Maybe I need to work on my pronunciation?! Am I the problem?!

Butter Is Better

Okay, I’m going to let you in on a ridiculously little secret. I never ate butter until a week ago. No joke. My family always ate margarine and any time there was actual butter to put on rolls I just didn’t. So anyways, we were at my in-laws for dinner and for some unknown reason, I decided to put butter on my rolls. I promptly turned to my mom-in-law and said, “What is this?” Duh. It’s butter, ya dummy. And it’s amazing. I went to the store the next day and bought some actual, real butter and have been putting it on everything. I actually said this to my husband…”How did I go 32 years without eating butter? I’m gonna be so fat.” I’m hoping I can kick this butter habit after the baby is born, otherwise I’m gonna be so big, I won’t able to fit through the door to leave my house. Mmmmmm….butter.

Dear Loyal Readers,

I am so sorry for being so absent lately. As you can see from the above picture, I have a bit of a belly. No I didn’t get that bulge from too much Thanksgiving food, but I am actually 15 weeks pregnant. That’s right…we are expecting baby #3 come May 2014. I am praying like crazy that it’s a girl, but every other person in my family is hoping for the opposite, so somebody is going to be let down. I am starting to feel like myself again, so I will do my best to be back on the bloggy blog. And I’ll be sure to include lots of awesome maternity outfits for ya!

Sincerely,

The Girl With The Smile
