Quiche Solves Everything

Is there such a thing as morning sickness regression? Because it totally happened to me. I was feeling awesome for about a week and half and then boom. It was back. Thankfully, it seems to have gone away again! Let's hope it's gone for good this time, because I'm ready to get back to life! 

I started re-entering the world again last week. That sounds crazy, but I really felt like I disappeared for weeks on end. But last week I had dinner with a friend, went to a cloth diaper boot camp (more on that another day!), and actually went out for a little bit this weekend. Ok, I was ready to go home after about an hour that night, but it's a start. 

I'm currently waiting for a quiche to finish baking in the oven. I've been on a quiche kick. It started a couple weeks ago when I called Pie Junkie to see if they had any quiche left (they have AMAZING quiche). Unfortunately, I didn't ask them to hold the quiche, and I was left quiche-less as I watched an elderly couple buy 8 pieces right in front of me. Heartbreaking on a normal day, devastating for a pregnant lady with a serious craving. I learned my lesson and had them hold quiche for me last week when I was in the area, and it was so worth it. But I can't drive all the way to the Plaza District whenever I get a craving, so I'm trying to find the best recipe to make at home. (Suggestions? I'm open to them!) 

And I'm still reading more than usual. I've finished up quite a few since Quick Lit, especially thanks to the Readathon I participated in. If you want to see what I've been reading before November's Quick lit, you can follow me on Goodreads.

Ok, I'm off to eat some quiche. And then maybe some chocolate chip muffins, because why not?

Falling into Fall

What a difference a week makes! Seriously, I feel like a human being again. Not quite my usual self, but at least like a person. So how about we catch up on a few things? 

First, it's fall! Which means football season, of course. I've been quietly cheering on my Sooners, even attending a game last month. It had been awhile since my last game, I'd almost forgotten how much fun they are! (Though they are a little more fun when you can enjoy an adult beverage or two...) We're still cable-free, so when they play on anything other than ABC I have to figure out what to do. This weekend I ended up at BJs Brewery, where I was ID-ed when I sat at the bar and ordered a root beer. But that root beer was awesome, as was the mini-pizookie I devoured as the second ticked away in the fourth quarter. 

Second, I am full-on obsessed with the Good Wife. I've watched the first three seasons so far, and I can't stop. I've been spoiled on a few things, much to my disappointment, but I'm not letting that ruin my excitement. I could be checking out some of the new shows, but I'd rather stick with older ones that I can binge on. (I was a binger before Netflix, so I can't blame this on them!)

Third, I'm hitting the ground running this month. I've wrapped up some major projects, and I'm booking for the last couple months of 2015. If you or anyone you know needs help with anything content related (website, e-course, sales emails, anything!) send them my way. I'd love to end 2015 with too much work :) You can find out more about what I do at www.jbryantcreative.com!

Finally, I'll leave you with my first official baby bump picture. Ok, it's still not much of a bump. But it feels like one to me!

Have a great week, friends!

Not So Sparkly

Things have been a little boring around the Robbins house lately. Lots of reading, binge watching, and Ritz crackers. The good news is that I have some great books to tell you about for next month's Quick Lit! The bad news is that I don't seem to have much to say these days. 

Honestly, this pregnancy thing is kind of rough. But everyone swears it's going to get better soon!  The second trimester is so close, and all I hear is how much more energy I'll have. Fingers crossed. 

Another not fun thing? Trying to get dressed. Thankfully I work from home most days, and yoga pants are fabulous and forgiving. My jeans? Not so much. I've pretty much been living in maxi skirts with elastic waists, but fall is here and I'm going to have to have some other options soon. I've ordered some maternity clothes from thredUP, so we'll see how that goes. 

Final pregnancy note: I promise to provide bump pics in the future, but at this point I just look like I had one too many burritos. Which is funny, because I haven't had too many of anything lately. Except maybe crackers!

Now excuse me, I'm going to continue binge watching the Good Wife.
