Fill in the Blank Friday

There is a lot going on in the Mama Insomnia household these days. It sort of just dawned on me that Baby Insomnia is going to be here in 6 short weeks, so I have been very busy pulling things out of storage and getting things ready.

I feel huge and I'm back to pretty much being tired 24/7. When I do have a surge of energy it is usually spent deep cleaning some nook & cranny of the house-hello nesting- or playing catch/chase/some sort of exhausting game with Jack.

I know I've been neglecting you all lately, so today I'm going back to participating in one of my old fav's...Fill in the Blank Friday from the little things we do.

1. My current obsession is : Ebay. I know I'm a little behind the curve here, but I've been crazy purging lately and I've made a decent chunk of change selling some of it on ebay. Also, I have scored crazy deals on 2 of Jack's Christmas presents. 

2.    Food and/or Sleep  make me happy. (Really, what do you expect a very pregnant woman to say??)


3. My greatest strength is   my resourcefulness. I'm a "where there's a will there's a way" kinda gal.

4.    Procrastinating   is my greatest weakness.

5. My life is way better than I ever expected it to be. I am thankful for this each and every day.


6. In high school I was     in awesome shape. I miss my dancer's body some days.


7. When I'm super tired    I get cranky and short with people. Luckily for the world, I try to take as many naps as possible so my tank never fully reaches E.

Conde` Nast-y-Friday Funny

It's Friday and I'm still not fully back into the blogging groove but luckily I had this little gem waiting in my drafts. Who doesn't want a light, funny way to end their week?? So enjoy!

Today's post is completely random. And a little gross. OK, it's really gross.
But I sometimes find gross things hilariously funny and this falls under that umbrella. So read at your own risk...

Have you heard about the mystery pooper in the Glamour Magazine offices?? It seems that there is someone leaving "surprises" for people in the bathrooms on the 16th floor. For years.




Similarly, we have been having some of the same problems at work. People leaving massive bombs in the toilet.

A poop and dash, if you will.

 The thing that creeps me out most about these mystery piles?? The lack of toilet paper.
Which means there is a very messy, smelly ass lurking out there somewhere...

Have you ever pooped and dashed???

Fall Shows- Whose your mommy??

I've been a bad blogger these past few weeks and I should probably feel bad about that but I don't.

Not that I don't love you all...I do.
But life has been busy this past week and blogging is the easiest thing to throw in the backseat and forget about.

If there is one thing that can bring me out of blogging hibernation it's TV talk, so when Amanda asked if I wanted to weigh in on the new season of How I Met Your Mother, or as we on Twitter call it #HIMYM, I said "Hell to the Yea".

So here are my thoughts/theories/etc.

*I do NOT care for Robin's new hair cut.

*Honestly?? I'm kind of over the whole "whose the mom" thing. I understand that that was the original intrigue of the show, but after all these seasons, I think that the show can stand on it's own without that premise lurking round every corner. As a matter of fact...hold your hats here...I find Ted Mosby to be the LEAST endearing character on the show. That's right, I said it. I'm not really a fan of Ted. He's indecisive and whiny and to be quite honest, I don't really care who he ends up with.

*If I were forced to pick someone I would think it would be Robin. Not that I want him to end up with her, but I think the kids look the most like her. That's all I'm really going on there. I'm almost sure I am wrong though because he always refers to her as "Aunt Robin" when talking to said kids.

*Now we are forced to ponder who Barney married??? Seriously? Enough already.

*Overall despite all of that, I loved the 2 opening shows. I think Martin Short as Marshall's boss will be an awesome addition to the show and drunk Marshall is hilarious. Who wants to play Edward Forty-hands with me???

Other Fall shows to weigh in on...

The Sing-Off: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this show and I am so glad it is back on in a regular season. To me this show is so much better than other singing reality shows. I'm not a huge Nick Lachey fan and sometimes I think the judges drone on a bit too long, but otherwise this show gives me the warm and fuzzies.

The Playboy Club: Don't hate on me but Eddie Cibrian is dreamy. Call him a homewrecker or whatever, I don't care. And besides...that Brandi Glanville looks like she kind of had it coming. (Have you seen the previews for RHOBH??) That said, I'm a sucker for shows based out of Chicago and I love anything with a vintage feel to it so I had to give this show a try. Surprisingly?? I liked it. It had mystery and intrigue so I am excited to see what will come of it.

2 Broke Girls: I was iffy about this show but DVR'd it anyways. It's produced by Whitney Cummings, so I was interested to see what it would be like. It actually turned out to be a lot funnier than I thought it would be. The writing is surprisingly witty and funny.

Do you have any How I Met Your Mother Conspiracies??
What do you think of the new Fall shows? What are you looking most forward to?

How I spent my holiday weekend- #iPPP

I considered not blogging this week, but the #iPPP link up is so easy, I figured why not.
While everyone was out enjoying their holiday weekend, I was here...

I was kind enough to remove the wadded up tissues.

The weather here was beautiful, but I stayed confined to my bed and refused to go anywhere where I wasn't within arms reach from a box of tissues. I even gave up a trip to Hooter's Monday night for some wings, which is how my husband knew I was truly sick. Thankfully, I feel a bit better today, so let's hope this sinus infection is on it's way out!

How did you all spend your Labor Day weekend??

An Important message, because I care

Because I care so much for all of you, I am bringing you a very special, very important message, from Amanda over at It's Blogworthy. After you are done reading her guest post vital public service announcement, make sure you head over to her blog and read this week's Celebrity Round-up.


I’m here today to warn you of a very serious threat to your health and welfare.

 This condition can strike at any time, and has afflicted up to three young, svelte models, pop singers and athletes. It robs you of your dignity, your anonymity, your figure.

 The condition is known as “Kevin Federline Has Impregnated You” and it can change your life in terrible ways. The worst part? Once you’ve experienced this condition, there’s an 85% chance of it reoccurring.

 Have you recently had sex with Kevin Federline? You could be at risk!

 Be on the lookout for the following signs:



-          A missed period

-          Tender, swollen breasts

-          Kevin Federline saying to you “You’re my baby-mama.”

-          Frequent urination

-          Headaches

-          Britney Spears saying the following statement to you: “Y’all, our kids are gonna be half siblings, ain’t that fun? Want a Cheeto?”

-          Backaches


Don’t become a statistic. You can prevent the spread of this affliction. Do your part to keep Kevin Federline from further populating this planet. There are more than enough Federline children in this world as it stands.

Help us spread the word & remember...only you can prevent "Kevin Federline has Impregnated You" syndrome.

Have a great weekend!!
