I Probably Will Drink Tonight

It seems as if everyone in the world is pregnant right now. Yes, everyone. I want to be pregnant so badly, but I don't want a baby. I just want to be waited on and fawned over. AND have an excuse to eat more than usual.

What if I think our child is ugly? What if she/he inherits every ugly quality of Dave and I? It could happen!!! I once had a dream that I gave birth to a baby Ewok - it's true.

Ah, well. It's fun to see Dave freak out when I mention babies. Hahaha. Oh well; it's like we already have a baby - a cat whose name I won't mention.

As Snug as a Bug in a Rug

I'm sure there are things that we need to take care of around the house right now, but we're taking advantage of the pretty falling snow and our electric blanket.

Here's a picture of Sprinkles enjoying the view a few days ago (pre-snow):


Is there anything better than snuggling with your husband and eating cereal for dinner together?

I Sing the Body Electric

I took today off and we went to the neurologist today to find out the results of my MRIs.

I don't have MS! Phew. Phew, phew, phew. I still have transverse myelitis and they couldn't really tell me what caused it, but it should go away in a few weeks. The doctor said he was surprised that I didn't have any lesions on my brain and that he thought for sure that I had MS. Boooooyahhhh! Katherine's Brain: 1, Doctor: 0. I still have to go back in 1 year and have another MRI done.

And now, some FREAKY, freaky pictures of my MRIs.

Wormy Brains:


The scariest of them all (I've got to hide this picture in the refrigerator to scare Dave):


Is that huge lumpy thing my heart?:


I'm so happy! And I wish I could take Sprinkles for a walk outside.

Transylvania, My Eyes!

I have been preliminarily diagnosed with transverse myelitis. I am scheduled to have two MRIs on Friday, so we'll know more after that. I just hope I don't have any lesions on my brain...

Unofficial Cheap Pen Test

I ridiculously love office supplies.

For some reason, my office pens disappear at a rate of about 1 per week. I'm currently down to one blue pen, one awkward checkbook pen, and three non-mechanical pencils that I have no way of sharpening.

We went to Target today for some odds and ends and I decided to buy a few pens for work. ....BUT WHICH ONES?????? HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH PEN IS THE BEST?????

And that is how I came up with my unofficial cheap ballpoint pen test. Half were purchased, and half were found in our kitchen junk drawer.

The contestants (all medium pt., of course):

1. Bic Ultra Round Stic Grip USA


2. Pentel Wow! BK440


3. Uni-Ball Vision Elite (NON-BALLPOINT!)


4. Wisconsin Cheese Pen, missing ink shaft (DISQUALIFIED!)

5. Pentel R.S.V.P. BK91


6. Pilot EasyTouch


7. Free 5/3 Bank Pen


I'm trying to get away from using gel ink in my pens because I'm tired of having smeared ink on important documents, so the Uni-ball is not really my cup of tea.

If it were possible to buy more, I would declare the 5/3 Bank Pen the winner. It had the boldest, smoothest lines out of all pens. Unfortunately, the odds of us getting our hands on another one of those is slim. Therefore, the prize goes to the Pentel R.S.V.P.. Great price, great lines, and a good weight in your hands. Only $1.99 for a 4-pack at Target.

I'll have to do a more in-depth pen competition in the future. I'm passionate about this.
