Nicknames - In Utero

I thought it would be fun to share a list of the nicknames I've called my unborn baby girl so far:

Succubus - This one was especially prominent during my first trimester when she was sucking all of the energy and life force from my body. Starting to make a come back in the third trimester now that my energy is being zapped again.

Chickie Nugget - I chose this as a gender neutral nickname after my sister kept bugging me for a nickname after I found out I was pregnant but before we knew gender.  Apparently embryo's require nicknames. 

Nugget - A shortened version of the previous nickname, which after a while tended to make me crave McDonald's chicken nuggets.  And which in turn made me think of eating my baby.

Octopus - Because I swear sometimes it feels like instead of four limbs there are eight (or more) flailing about in my belly.

BeeGee - I say this one a lot, especially when talking to my baby as I do things around the house and such.  It's just short for baby girl, but it flows well when I don't wanna look like a complete loony talking to thin air, especially when I find myself talking to her out in public.

Spider Monkey - As she's gotten bigger and stronger her movements are like that of an mixed martial arts pro.  Since I'm not comfortable giving her an MMA nickname, I figured the closest allusion I could make was to the spider monkey with their long spindly limbs and prehensile tail. 

Kung Fu Kid - Kind of self explanatory.  Some of her kicks, nudges and punches are like that of a well trained Ninja.  I swear she's bruised me a time or two... and when she finds something she likes punching or kicking... watch out mama.  Yeowza!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome"

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Blowin' Stuff Up

Man, I've been seriously fortunate lately. Since I last posted, I had the pleasure of finally putting that darned HAZMAT endorsement to use by taking a load of potassium nitrate into Canada. Of course, my initial reaction was to wonder why my dispatcher hated me enough to do this to me. But then I realized it was just a fine opportunity to expand my horizons. I was afraid that the load was going to be a huge hassle when crossing the border. Turns out, they didn't give two craps about what I was hauling. I approached customs anticipating much ado and received...well... nothing. I was in Canada in less than 5 minutes upon reaching the border crossing. Woo hoo! So far so good. So I arrive at my destination and find myself thinking that finally the tables have turned and luck is running for the hills. The place I delivered to was a small "airline hanger" of a building on a road that was restricted to 5 tons per axle (which equals NOT ME). Of course, I had to tak
