Baby, it’s cold outside

Baby, it’s cold outside

OK, it’s wicked cold out.  I don’t like it.  I mean, I wish I was in Iowa with the snow, but Texas is not supposed to get really cold unless it’s threatening snow.  Then sure, fine, no problem, be cold all you want Mr. Weather.

Joey’s at church, and Henry and I are loafing around on the couches.  I just finished reading for 45 minutes, I’m currently singing “who says I can’t get stoned” (answer: besides law enforcement and my better judgement, Dr. Babyplease would have a few things to say to me) with John Mayer at the top of my lungs.  But such a catchy tune!

Next I have to practice for that wedding I’m singing in on Sunday, so I figure that singing about drug use first will warm up my vocal chords which are SORELY out of practice after having, what, a month off?  Or more?  I forget how long.  Ugh.  I should not have done that.

The good news is, though, that with Joey gone this evening I can sing louder and be less embarrassed if I go flat now and again from being so out of shape, rather like I did last night.  I hate it when he looks at me with that “um, well, you DID sound good until you made THAT sound” look.  It’s real terrible.

After I make Henry go deaf from my singing, I’m going to break out a cheesy Christmas movie and work on The Kid’s Christmas present.  I have to finish it before he gets here on Friday.

Otherwise, it’s a loafy, boring evening at my house, and I love, love, love, love it.

Just the kind of night the Embryos need if they’re going to hang around for, oh, eight or nine months.

About jennawoestman

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
