No Glimpses in the Mirror
The previous owners of our house did some pretty goofy renovations. Before moving in, we discovered that the kitchen cabinets were not attached to studs - just drywall, the electrical outlet for the stove had two wires feeding off of it to other outlets (fire hazard), the mirror in the master bathroom is very high and many other quirky things. Some things, we had to fix right away like the cabinets and plug, while other thing we are just living with for now like the mirror.
To be honest, I have come to appreciate the mirror. Because it is so high, I can strip down and get in the shower without catching glimpses on my naked pregnancy body in the mirror. The bottom of the mirror hits right above my boobs and extends to the ceiling, so I can only see my face. It isn't good for checking out an outfit, but I have not been shocked by the sight of my huge naked body either. Once I get dressed, I head to the guest bedroom where the mirrors allow me to check out how my clothes are fitting. I know it is crazy, but I think this really helps with the mental body image. Without that, I might go nuts (more than I already am). If there is one thing I've learned from this pregnancy it is that I don't like being huge.

This blog is like a journal for me. It is also a way for my friends to keep tabs on me.
For people who don't know me, I come from a big family (3 brothers & 1 sister). We moved around a LOT, so I am not really from one particular place. I like to call Katy, Texas my home though.
Recent news, my Dad & Mother-in-Law were diagnosed with Terminal Cancer in April/May of 2005. My dad passed away 5-Dec-05 .
