August 5th
Going to the lake this weekend, so I got a spray tan. At least if I have to look like a beached whale, I’ll be a tan beached whale! It was my first one to get where a person applied it (rather than doing it in a booth). It was quick & easy. I didn’t have to tell the lady I was pregnant – she noticed right away when I was undressed & asked when I was due. I’m glad I look prego & not fat! I like the way the spray tan turned out (it was super dark at first but most of that washed off – now it looks more natural) but I somehow got the tanner on my right palm. I’ve tried to get it off but no luck. I tried vinegar after reading about it online, but it didn’t work & now I can’t get the vinegar smell off! Gross! Oh well, the tanner is more noticeable to me. It’s worth not being super white! Maybe now I’ll feel a little more comfortable in my swim suit…
August 6th
Took off at noon to drive to the lake with Michael. He had to work at the law firm’s other office on the way for a few hours. Amy picked me up & we went to Once Upon a Child, a nice consignment shop for babies/kids. I bought Christine a bouncer for her baby, but didn’t find much for myself. They had a lot of clothes, but I’ve been told not to buy or register for clothes since people usually like to buy as a gift. I did buy a cute OSU outfit! I also got the book Sippy Cups are not for Chardonney. J Then we went to Gordman’s & Michael picked me up there. We grabbed some dinner at a place called Alfredo’s but it was pretty much exactly like Ted’s. Love those sopapillas! We drove to the lake. Mike & Shannon weren’t too far behind us but then they got rear ended & had to deal with that. Luckily, they weren’t hurt & their vehicle wasn’t messed up too badly. On the drive (I was driving), Michael said there were some llamas in a field. I only saw cows but he said, no – there were llamas by the hairy barrels. I started laughing uncontrollably. He called the hay bales hairy barrels! He SAYS he said hay bales but it totally sounded like hairy barrels because it was drawn out. I couldn’t stop laughing because that’s pretty much what hay bales look like & I thought he didn’t know what they were called. I still crack up every time I think about it! Eventually, everyone got to the lake house (Josh & Misty came with their two year old, too) & we stayed up talking.
August 7th
We were worried the lake house would be super hot since it’s a mobile home & it’s been 100+ degrees every day. But the air conditioner did a good job & Michael & I slept in until after 10:00. Everyone else was up before then since they have kids but Michael & I are enjoying our laziness while we can. We went down to the beach & pretty much spent most of our time in the water since it was so hot. Mike & Shannon took the twins up to the house around 1:00 & the rest of us weren’t far behind. We ate lunch & napped. Then we went back out to the beach for a few hours. I was pretty worried about the heat but it wasn’t as bad as I thought. We cooked burgers for dinner. The girls stayed up til about 1:00 talking, but the boys stayed up even later & really enjoyed themselves (not so much the next morning, though)!
August 8th – 22 weeks
Went back home after saying goodbye to everyone. It was a great weekend! Went to my yoga class & enjoyed it.
August 9th
Went to a Drillers game – got to sit in a suite, so it had A/C (thank goodness). My pregnancy is definitely noticeable! I’m glad I look prego & not just fat. J They brought by a dessert cart – had a piece of delicious strawberry pound cake. Michael’s carrot cake was super yummy, too.
August 11th
Last Sam’s lunch trip with Amanda while she’s on summer break. I bought a rolling cooler for tailgating (yay) & some manchego cheese (yum). I also bought a huge tub of pretzel sticks for work & made an impulse buy of mini s’more treats. I’ll just blame it on the pregnancy! But I didn’t get the Cheesecake Factory cheesecake I saw after reading the nutrion info – that has to count for something!
I hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hairy barrels! Just one of the many classic Michael-isms!
