Chris is too classy for that. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT.

Hi guys :)

Well, I haven't gotten a chance to scan Ultrasound photos yet, but this is even better!



!!!!!!!!! How cool is that? Better than pics, I'd say. That 4D image is just mindbogglingly amazing.

And now....

( Follow me for pics of the belly and the first baby stuff!! )

Thank you everyone for your congratulations and words of support, they mean more than I could ever say. And if you're getting tired of baby stuff posts...too bad :P lol

Spinning in my heart: giddy

( To heighten the suspense... )

Spinning in my heart: ecstatic

( I don't even know, you guys. Idol thoughts behind here. )
Ugh. I don't even know, you guys. I am just...so depressed right now. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna powervote my little ass off for Dcook, cause he deserves to be there more than anyone else (IMO), but something was just really, really off for me tonight. What should have been the best night of the season was one of the worst and I guess I just don't know how to deal with that.

Spinning in my heart: crushed

Hi guys,

I got a call from the nurse practitioner at the health clinic on Friday. She said one of my blood tests came back abnormal. I didn't worry about it too much until getting another call from her today. She said my white blood cell count is high, and she needs me to go to the doctor in Ormond to get more lab work done. Today. I am SCARED. I've never had a blood test, or any kind of test, come back abnormal. And for it to happen now, at 20 weeks pregnant? Is the scariest shit ever.

So if you guys could throw some good vibes my way I'd sincerely appreciate it.

In return for your troubles...



thanks to expatiates for the picture. heee.

WHATCHU THINK: THE ANONYMOUS MEME REDUX


ETA: Fixed the link! I has teh dumb.

Comment here with links to your threads?

Spinning in my heart: blah

Item the 1st: I fucking love this icon, so so much.

Item the 2nd: Do you guys find this macro funny?
( follow the cut for the possible LOLz )

IDK, I think it's hilarious, but Jared doesn't get it. I'm not sure that there's any specific joke TO get, it just makes me laugh uproariously.

Item the 3rd: I heard my future child's heartbeat for the first time today. We're still not sure if it's twins or not, because we heard what COULD have been two heartbeats, but it also could have been just an echo. We'll find out for sure when I go for my 20 week ultrasound next Thursday at 9 AM, UGHHHHH.

Oh, okay, item the 4th:

♥ you guys!!!

Spinning in my heart: hopeful

Hi guys <3

So I'm sending out a request for prayers/good vibes/happy thoughts, whatever you guys do. I applied online for food stamps/cash assistance just now, and I really, really, really need it to go through because we're in kind of a bad financial situation right now. I already applied for Medicaid for pregnant women and WIC (food checks, but it's specific stuff like milk, juice, eggs, cheese, cereal, stuff like that) and got both of those, but WIC will only help so much, and the last thing I need at almost 5 months pregnant is to starve, y'know? Not that that's really truly a worry, but it's enough of one, especially at the end of the month (Jared gets some social security benefits and things like that, but it's only like $400 a month and by the 3rd week of the month we're pretty much ass out), and I'd like to have the extra netting to fall back on. So any good vibes you guys could send that would be great, cause I'd like to be approved within the next 2 weeks (it takes 15-30 days according to the ACCESS Florida website), because the cash assistance will help us start buying things for the baby (maybe babies? i'll find out for sure during my doctor's appointment on Thursday) and other things that we need that aren't food.

You guys know I'm not one to ask for prayers and things like that unless the situation is less than good so, any happy thoughts would be appreciated.

In conclusion, you guys are the best.

I may post with my thoughts on this season of Idol some time this week, I have a post formulating in my head...if only I could get my thoughts in order, lol.

♥∞ you guys.

Hello lovelies!

Not much to say at the moment, my life is full of Medicaid and WIC appointments and blaaahhhh BUT I saw that honestys_easy posted a higher quality version of Chris Rich performing with Jason Mraz, and I HAD to have it in mp3 format, so I figured I'd upload it for all of you lovely people <3

Chris Richardson and Jason Mraz - Geek in The Pink (Live in VA)

Love you all, and be assured that even if I am not commenting, I am reading XD

Comment to this post with a Top Five you would like to see me post about (with pictures, if applicable), and I will post it in my next post. Feel free to Please give me multiple lists to do!

Spinning in my heart: bored

Oh my god, fandomsecrets.

WHAT WHAT WHAAAAAAT. This is the SECOND time I've seen a secret like this, and either this person is completely bullshitting...or someone is holding out on us AALSDJSLJDLSFJLFDJF;DJ.

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

Spinning in my heart: confused

Attention!

Thw Tuscani Baked Pasta from Pizza Hut? Is like the best thing ever. I could eat this, and NOTHING but this, for the rest of my days and be a happy, happy Chelsea.

In other news, Kristy Lee Cook STILL needs to get the fuck off of my TV. I couldn't believe I had to sit through her and bbDavid back to back without a damned commercial break the other night. It was like I had suddenly entered the 9th circle of hell.

Oh, and THANK GOD they finally addressed the whole Doxodouches thing with my Dcook on Tuesday night. I was so tired of hearing them bitch about it.

Oh, Boondocks is on, gotta go!

One last thing

♥♥♥

I LOVE YOU GUYS.

Oh, americanidol, you always bring the lolz.

Jason Castro should be disqualified if he smokes pot! He is setting a bad example for the childrens!

Won't somebody think of the potheads children?

ETA: And of course, the entry has been bahleeted and I didn't get screencaps. Woe, woe, woe.

I really hate packing. It's so stressful. And I constantly feel like I'm forgetting something.

Other than that, things are good here. Leaving on Wednesday around 1:15 PM, will get to Florida around 8:15 EST. WOOT.

I don't really have much else to say, but everyone should check this link out. Believe me, your life will be the richer for it.

Talk to you all...well, probably when I get to FL!

Much love,
me & baby.

Inspired by a conversation in americanidol

So we all know that Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to be a celebrity mentor at some point this season on Idol, which leads me to believe that it will be on Broadway night, because otherwise, what's the point of having ALW mentor at all?...and that got me to thinking, if they let them do contemporary Broadway stuff...

How perfect would David Cook be doing "One Song Glory" from RENT?! The song is almost TAILOR MADE for his range and his vocal style. It would quite possibly be the best thing ever!!!

Thoughts?

ETA: I am not doing the Content Strike, because 1) I don't think it will do any good, as LJ's user stats are compiled weekly and not daily, and 2) I refuse to support something with any sort of kind of anti-Semitic under or overtone.
But since I've been more of a lurker as of late anyway, I probably won't post regardless.

Spinning in my heart: thoughtful

Oh hai bbs.

So last night I was royally pissed off. I think Danny deserved to be there, much more so than Chikieze Banana or whatever the fuck. His performances were better, his entertainment value was MUCH higher, and overall I think he's a better singer. But I started to think about it, and I think what it boils down to is this:

America is NOT ready for a flamboyantly gay personality on their TV screens.

I can hear you crying already, "But what about Jack McFarland, played so brilliantly by Sean Hayes, on Will and Grace?" Well, see, Jack was FICTIONAL. America could laugh at him and feel with him and not be horrified by it, because he wasn't a real person.

So now we come to Danny Noriega, in all his fabulousness. He was fierce and funny and had spark, and America didn't know what to DO with that. They're used to their gay people being more butch, less "OH HAI AMERICA THIS IS ME LOVE ME! *snaps*", and Danny presented something they weren't ready to deal with. He confused them, disoriented them, because it's not something they're used to seeing in their day to day life.

Is it right? No. Is it fair? Certainly not. But it is what it is. Most of America is still afraid of gay people, doesn't know how to react when somebody so out there and in their faces, and, heh, TMTH, is on their TV screens. They didn't vote for him because he confused and frightened them.

It sucks, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate.

Thoughts?

One little compliment can make you feel amazing. So give me a compliment, anything in the entire world, even that my shoelaces are pretty. Put this in your journal. And once you get some comments, put that entry in a memory or tag and when you are feeling down, just go to that entry and this will remind that you're not so bad in other people's eyes after all.
Comments are going to be screened so none of you will know if I'm uber-popular and get over 100 comments on this or a total loser who doesn't get any.

( Liveblogging the top 8 guys, just because )

Spinning in my heart: content

Ok, so if the song spoilers that just went up at ohnotheydidnt are true...tonight is going to be FULL of LOLs. And some great moments, too. But mostly, LOLs.

40 more minutes. And I can't believe I'm excited for Idol again. Damn you David Cook, getting me all interested with your hotness and your word-nerdiness and authentic rockerness. Damn you.

In other news, my mom made the best pot roast EVER tonight. Mmmmmmm.

o hai bbs!

So the wonderful acurfox came and fixed my computer last night, but unfortunately, fixing it meant wiping the hard drive completely. Which means that the 8 gigs of music I had? GONE. Now, I can replace a good bit of it, but, flist, there are some things that I don't remember where I downloaded them, or the links are expired, etc, etc, so if you guys are feeling up to it, could some kind souls upload the following for me?

Colbie Caillat - Coco
Sara Bareilles - Whatever her album is called (lol)
Garbage - BeautifulGarbage
Matchboxtwenty - Mad Season
ALL of Blake Lewis' AI performances and pre-Idol songs (if you could upload the BT version of She Loves The Way as well I would ♥ you FOREVER)
All of Chris Richardson's AI performances and "All Alone"
Same with Phil Stacey and Gina Glocksen (plus "If You Didn't Love Me, Phil fans)
Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High and From Under The Cork Tree
Jason Mraz - Waiting For My Rocket to Come, Mr A-Z, and Live at Schubas/Saratoga
Any and all Poe you might have

I can't think of anything else...thank you so much guys!! I will do my best to return the favor once I've loaded stuff back onto the lappy.
