Don’t Forget to Remember

JudiFree.com — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 02:00:51 +0000

I spent some time reading through old blog posts from 2008 – when my blog was really on fire. I found some incredible inspiration in these blog posts which were seemingly lost in the interwebs.

As I recount my life and the revelations God showed me during that time, I am encouraged and inspired. I am surprised that I was so witty and my writing was so good. Not to toot my own horn, but because I’ve been feeling lousy about my writing skills and my ability to communicate. It’s so refreshing to read these old posts and believe in myself again.

thanks me. your welcome you.

Dude, I’m so pregnant!

This is my new phrase…as you can see below, it’s soooo true. According to the crazy fruit and vegetable comparison, my precious baby girl is the size of a head of cabbage. I don’t know why they insist on comparing my baby to food…maybe it’s because food is all I can think about these days – well, food and the baby of course. Only 9 weeks to go – here’s to the pregnant life!

Mark took this picture when I wasn't paying attention.

Adventures in Pregnancy – 1

JudiFree.com — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 17:54:36 +0000

A thousand new thoughts go through my head every day (I’m conviced this is the reason why I forget so much “regular” stuff). Thoughts like: how can I get up as little as possible today? Wow, my wedding ring feels tighter! Whoa…look at my ankles! Is that rumbling in my stomach the taco salad or little June kicking around?

Every part of me wants to be brave and act like I’m feeling and doing great. The truth is…I’m terrified. What if my baby won’t sleep through the night, what if she has colic, should I use a pacifier? It seems everyone has an opinion about these things (a very strong opinion) and there’s so much judgement in motherhood. My friend can’t get the hang of breast feeding and she gets treated like she threw her baby down a well. The pressure is already mounting up!

As I ponder these things, I will continue to waddle around, put my feet up, and eat popsicles…

My Tearful Adventures

JudiFree.com — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 17:01:22 +0000

Mark hinted to me that I might be a tad bit hormonal lately. Of course, I completely denied it until these things happened last week:

I sat down in my bosses office to let him know I wasn’t satisfied with my review. Before I could say two words, I was sobbing like a baby and couldn’t catch my breath. The poor man didn’t know what to do. I’m pretty sure I didn’t make any sense and made a complete fool out of myself. I haven’t cried at work in the 4 years I’ve been here. It was humiliating.
During our lovely Valentine’s date, I yelled at the sweet movie attendant about the parking situation before bursting into tears and demanding our money back. Again, humiliated. Good thing Mark saved the night by getting me calm and taking me home for a movie.
I have been craving doughnut holes for weeks. This morning, I finally went to the quaint, local doughnut shop by our house to indulge myself only to be sold STORE BOUGHT, STALE doughnut holes – Winchell’s, I will cut you. As soon as I got in my car, I cried.

I admit…I think I would have cried about the doughnuts – hormones or not!

My Biggest Fear of Pregnancy…

JudiFree.com — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 19:00:51 +0000

I’m terrified…TERRIFIED…of getting a F A T F A C E. I’m completely obsessed with the idea that my cheeks will get so puffy that you won’t be able to see my eyes.

I even sleep sitting up most of the night (because I read somewhere that helps with facial swelling). I also wear this every night:

C’mon…you gotta love this contraption!

If You Got It, Flaunt It

JudiFree.com — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 23:58:43 +0000

I’ve read a lot of posts where people want you to tell them one thing you would change or improve about yourself if you could. Well, I don’t need to think one more bad thing about myself. I really need to boost my self esteem and remind myself of why I’m such a fine specimen, so…

Tell me what you would keep? What do you love about yourself? Personality? Physical feature?

Come on…if you got it, flaunt it…Right? Let’s do something to feel good about ourselves.

I would keep my eyes. They are a unique color and usually a conversation starter! Tell me what you got, don’t be shy:

CONFESSION: I take pictures of myself

JudiFree.com — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:17:23 +0000

Ever since I got the iPhone, I take pictures of myself every day. E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y!!!! I told my friends this and they laughed their heads off…especially when they saw the pictures. I’m a dweeb that likes to check her makeup and take funny pictures.

For your enjoyment:

I just woke up

With my helmet cam (a whole other story)

Yes, I'm driving. Yes, I have a weird 1/2 open eye.

I have 100 that look just like this.

Writer’s Block

JudiFree.com — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:59:19 +0000

I guess I’m not technically a “writer”, but this blog is my haven and the people here are my support group. I cannot think of a topic or a darn thing to write. So I leave you with some words from my wacky mother:

“If you can think it up, it has probably been done already.” – in response to my incessant “what if” questions.
“Remember to smile.” – when I would walk toward her with a frown
“I wasn’t calling you…maybe it was the Lord trying to get your attention.” – when I would come to her because I thought she had called my name.
“You can’t remember? Maybe it was a lie.” – if I was going to tell her something and then I couldn’t remember what I was going to say. I really hated when she said this because it WASN’T a lie – ha!
“Some folks are so heaven minded they are no earthly good.” – oh…that’s a good one!
“Slow down, no one is going to steal your food.” – when I would hoover my food in a matter of seconds…little did she know that my big brothers and sister DID steal my food!!!
“All you need is love.” – in response to not having money or being in a difficult situation. This is probably the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
“Just say the name of Jesus.” – when I would get scared at night.

Did your mom ever tell you something over and over again??!?!?

Funny Summer Picture

I just found this picture of me from last summer. I’ve never seen it before and it’s HILARIOUS! I just lost a water balloon throwing contest (Mark won the contest – see picture below). I looks like I’m going to shout obscenities at the sky! I love finding funny pictures of myself…It makes me miss summer time already:

Caption Please!

Mark - FTW!

We Look Alike

JudiFree.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:18:26 +0000

It’s eerie…

I look just like Tiffany – my sister-in-law…and she looks like me.

We married brothers (who look nothing alike).

Tiffany & I also look like our Mother-in-Law.

Does that mean something gross about our husbands?
