Ugh.  Making plans for the next year is too hard.  My carefree, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants life is slipping away.  Oh who am I kidding, like that has ever been an accurate way to describe myself.  I have always been a planner and a worrier.  It has just gotten harder to plan and worry in the last few weeks.  And it’s harder for no reason at all, just a possible, maybe, hopefully, we are talking about it reason.

 So here is the shocking news, B and I plan to be expecting by the end of 2008.  I put it like that because it gives us a whole bunch of wiggle room on when we actually start this madness.  (Nothing to celebrate yet Traci so don’t freak out.)  So how many of you did not see that coming?

Now, if my friends could stop planning weddings or Vegas bachelorette parties I could quit worrying about commitments I need to make or break in the next year.  Like a wedding is something I have to miss, but being 8 months pregnant and a bridesmaid might be something I want to pass on.  Also, a wedding 9 hours away and on a boat might be a no go too.

 So, are we all on the same page?  No asking me to travel or get drunk in 2008.  Or if you are going to ask me, can you do it in the first half of the year?  I don’t want to be the fat, sober chaperone in Vegas, ok?
