Girl Scouts
Were you a Girl Scout? I was. I was a blue Daisy, brown brownie, and green junior. My mom was a Girl Scout troop leader for years and my older sister was in it too. (She went continued to a baby blue cadet and then worked for the Girl Scout organization)
This isn't about me being a girl scout though. This is about cookies. Dustin and I love Samoas. It's strange because I don't like the texture of coconut but I love these cookies. I believe we are on our third box. Yesterday my mom brought me a box of Thin Mints. Usually I'm not a fan but I took them home. This morning I ate an entire sleeve of these cookies by myself. I don't know how I did it.
Do you buy cookies from little girls wearing sashes covered with colorful badges? What is your favorite?

Doppler Effect
A co-worker, one of the pregnant ones, brought a doppler into work yesterday. Her husband gave it to her for Valentine's Day, a very unique and practical gift. I would love to have one of these at home for the days when I just don't "feel pregnant".
I hooked that bad boy up and went searching for Avery. I picked up her heartbeat at 140, she was just below and to the right of my bellybutton. I like to think she is lazy and was sleeping in. After lunch (and a sweet tea) I went looking for her again. This time she was on the right side and above my bellybutton. I found her heartbeat at 188 and within seconds it was gone. I think she was running laps around my uterus.

I'm All Shook Up
Some women exercise full out when pregnant, not me. I played sports growing up but never enjoyed just working out. So I hope to walk regularly and tone my arms. Right now I dont think I could tote Avery in her carrier for a lengthy amount of time because my arms are mush.
I am not faithful to my gym membership where I could walk on the treadmill and lift weights, I've just found better things to do with my time. When we go to the gym, I try to use the arm machines with Dustin but I dont think he likes chaperoning me. Once we finish the machines we go to free weights. I wander to the left side of the gym, because thats where the tiny weights are, and he heads off to the right to lift the big boy metal. I dont like people watching me nor do I like watching myself in the mirror. I quit about 5 minutes into it and go to the treadmill (without the weights because they aren't allowed). Due to my wimpy behavior my arms are not cute.
Problem Solved. We were watching TV and saw the commercial for the Shake Weight. I bet you've seen it too. "I need that", I pleaded to my hubby. "You'll never use it," he said. " I will, I promise". I saw it at Walgreens one night but he gave me the ugly eye and we left without it. This weekend, while he was playing golf, I went to Target. They had the Shake Weight! I picked it up, thought twice, and put it in my buggy.
When I got home I showed him my new purchase. We took turns "working out" our arms as we watched TV from the comfort of our living room. It works. A few hours later Dustin picked it up again to find out that his arms were sore. Wanting to see for myself, I gave it a few shakes and Ouch, it did work!
Hopefully between the Shake Weight and a gym membership I will be able to carry Avery around without breaking a sweat!

Bachelor Wrap Up
Vienna, Vienna. She was never my favorite, in fact next to Michelle she was my least favorite. I could go on and on but there's no point. Just to wish them luck because I think they may need it.
On to Ali being the next bachelorette. I did like her earlier in the show but she too turned catty and I lost interest. The San Fran hometown date was a bit scandalous in the park, don't you think? And biggest question of all- did you quit your job? The job you "loved over love". Ali, please note that if you are the bachelorette, you cant just go home for work in the middle of the show.
Dancing with the Stars. Sure there were some interesting picks, Dustin was excited about Chad Ocho Cinco. I think Pamela will be interesting. I'm most excited to see that Kate Gosslin got hair extensions, good move Kate.
