Totally Hoping I Win This One!

But, if I don't...eh, it was worth a shot, no?

WHY I want to win this giveaway??? Because (HELLO!) she's giving away a Canon Lens...I have no clue what kind. For some reason, it doesn't say - unless I totally missed some small print. I promise...I read the whole post! :S

ANYhoo - you should get on down there and check it out...if I don't win it, perhaps YOU will! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aaaaand, on another "winning" note. Go Hawkeyes!

Also, I "lied."

Apparently, I had this idea we were totally not sports oriented...I didn't even know about Iowa's Homecoming and that they were playing my hubbies fave team.

So, I was just sharing with Jim how I posted this and admitted all of our sports ignorance to the whole internet. I walked into the nursery where he was dutifully changing Josefine and I found this:

Eeek! WHAT are you DOING to my CHILD!?

Ok, it wasn't THAT bad. I actually thought it was cute. So, I let him go out in public (behind enemy lines, mind you) and we went on a (short)walk.

I must admit, they ARE cute...but, I didn't go without supporting the Hawkeyes...and being really, really, really happy when they won. Although I was a nice wife and didn't rub it in...too much. So, I guess I stand corrected. We are somewhat sports oriented...

I guess the proof is in the fact that, during the game, we actually watched Monsters Vs. Aliens (again) and then listened to the last hour of the game on an old beat up radio. That is how dedicated we are, my friends. Go Hawks.

Show Us Your Life: Is that Weird?

I'm from Iowa, Jim is from Michigan.

We have both Hawkeye and UofM Decals stuck

to the back window of our car...

and yet, I had NO idea the the Hawkeyes

were playing Michigan today

...or whatever day.

Is that weird?

Jim loves the Tigers and I'm a Cubs fan,

and when Jim checked online to find out that the Tigers were no longer in the

...what series???

My guess was the "World Series"

but Jim told me it was for something else.

Is that weird?

Jim can know what's going on in sports because

he overheard a conversation while he was installing something electrical

or because he caught a glimpse of the sports section in the paper.

I don't even know who the big players are,

or who is the Big 10...or is it 8?

Is that weird?

We don't even watch TV...

but we'll hook up the projector to see a movie

we've been waiting, waiting, waiting to come out on DVD

...Mosters Vs. Aliens, for example.

Is that weird?

I overheard someone talking about The Amazing Race.

My first thought was "That show is still playing?"

As though it were ages ago when it first aired...

like when I was a kid or something and

it should be on that cable channel called something about "retro?"

Is that weird?

When we do watch TV, we love the news.

Ed Wilson is our favorite weather man and

I cried when I heard that Meterologist JerryAnn Ritter had her baby

on Groundhogs Day...

Is that weird?

Or another time we watch TV is when we're staying in a hotel.

So, we watch a show about ginormous wedding cakes

(something like, the Incredible Cake Off?)

and shows on Animal Planet

or our favorite MythBusters on Discovery.

They usually have ESPN, but when Jim turns it on,

it's nothing we're interested in.

Is that weird?

I'm all about cheap-to-free tickets to the I-Cubs games.

And when we go,

I don't remember the score...but,

I'd rather juggle the free baseballs we got at the gate.

Is that weird?

Warning: Pregnant Woman (with crazy eyes) Juggling.

The Capitol is in the background, though...

and that's pretty. :)

Show Us Your Life: BABY SHOES!

Show Us Your Life at Kelly's Korner

Ok...I have a fetish. Shoes. And not just ANY shoes, but baby shoes. Before we even knew if we were having a boy or girl, I was buying gender neutral (from my perspective) baby shoes. They are just too adorable! Sadly, my little one was born with big feet. And most of her *size zero* shoes didn't fit so well...I learned the hard way...buy AFTER baby is born. Anyway - these are a pair of shoes I should love to get for my little Josefine...mmmm, Owls (pictured below). Obsess, much? You can win a pair at LadyBug Soup!

Don't forget these darling birdie shoes (pictured below) from Bugaloo also featured in this post.

The bottom picture is of Josefine wearing her cute little (boy) loafers for the first (and possibly, last) time. I ♥ Baby Shoes! Oh, and as a side note - the top middle picture is of Josefine's swing mobile. Owls! Suprise...
