Let the games begin...

For those of you who don't know, my partner and I are expecting our first bambino(a) in February. While that statement in and of itself may be surreal to some of you, here comes the real kicker...I am the one carrying first. For those of you who know me, you understand why that's the real kicker. For those of you who don't know me, let me sum it up this way...I'm definitely the guy in the relationship. I like to drive, eat, and mow beautiful lines into my lawn. I absolutely HATE shopping for anything (other than food). I don't do makeup, dresses, skirts, or hair products. Give me comfortable shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt and I'm a happy, happy girl. As I like to tell people, my DICO score is pretty high (the explanation of the DICO score is a whole other blog that you all will just have to wait for with baited breath).

So, with that brief, rambling, and relatively incoherent introduction out of the way, let me tell you what the purpose of this blog is. I have found that the things that happen in my own mind are extremely entertaining to me on a whole. Typically, I have my own party happening in my head at any point in time which is highly entertaining to me. With this whole pregnancy thing, my mind has gone into overdrive. Not just with things that are entertaining to me, but also with things that are wholly disgusting and unnerving to me. For example, as I mentioned above, I am the guy in the relationship which also means that I don't cry at movies, books, or greeting cards...no matter what time of the month it is. However, since the miracle of life has blessed my uterus, I have found myself crying at the most RIDICULOUS times. You don't believe me? Ok, try this on for size. I cried, no, I completely BROKE DOWN IN RACKING SOBS at an episode of...ready...wait for it...wait for it...The Deadliest Catch. Yes, the crab fishing show. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?!?!?!? Again, highly unnerving.

And that is the purpose of this blog. To clear my head of all this crazy crap that is now swimming in there with all the other entertaining bits. Well, that and to keep people updated who want to know about what's going on with me b/c I'm not the best talker...shocking, I know based on the length of this supposedly brief introductory post.
