Where is the time going? Week 17?!

I cannot believe it's almost the end of October.  Yikes.  I have been working so much lately, it makes the time fly by twice as fast as normal.  Since I've picked up an extra private client, I now work 2-3 12 hour days a week.  So now it's 8 pm and I just walked in the door... I left my house at 7 am.  It's hitting me I'm NOT going to be able to keep doing this until I am 39 weeks pregnant like I was hoping (yeah, right!!)
At least I have Tuesdays when I get off at noon :)  Yesterday I got off work, went straight to the doctor to figure out my blood pressure issue, and then straight to my hairstylist to fix these roots that have been driving me crazy.  The doctor went well - she really wasn't concerned that my blood pressure is a serious issue.  However, she did keep me there for nearly an hour and a half!  It was a REALLY thorough appointment.  She seems pretty sure my blood pressure rises at my appointments because of anxiety and is not a chronic problem.  She did take a lot of blood tests to rule out thyroid disease, etc.  We talked about relaxation techniques for most of the appointment.  Of course it was high when they took it about 10 minutes after I arrived to my appointment - before I left, I let them re-take my blood pressure and I gave them a beautiful NORMAL number. Her bottom line:  "looks like you're healthy, but you'll get a lot of hassling about your blood pressure at your appointments for the next few months!"  So no magic cure for my doctor office anxiety - not that I expected that.
I'm feeling great - sadly Shelby is not.  She had her anal glands expressed (don't gag, I know it's gross) yesterday and has been in so much pain since then.  She was up all night panting and whining - so we were up practically all night as well.  She is a drama queen - we called the vet this morning and they said there were no complications with the procedure (which she's had 4 times before without a problem!) and she is probably just sore.  Anyway, it makes me feel so bad when she's miserable. 

I began our halloween costumes this weekend.  We'll be the best looking bacon and egg you've ever seen.

OK, now for embarrassing journal entry of the week:

Ignore the typo in that journal entry!  I just noticed it and am fixing it as we speak on photoshop.

Conversation while doing this photo shoot:
Me:  I don't want to look the same in all pictures - tell me to do something interesting
Brent: Pretend your running
Me: (see above)
Brent:  (looks at pictures and laughs hysterically)

So I'm not model material, and he's not professional photographer... but we have fun.
