Sounds and games and Prizes, oh my!

So, guess what I am listening to right now as I type? It is the sound of my home being pressure washed. Now, some of you may remember just a few posts back that I was whining about not having this done before the baby came... well... now I am whining about having it done. Here's why...
I am at home a couple of weeks ago, enjoying a nice little nap, when I hear a knock on my door. I go to the door, and since I do not recognize the person, just shout through the door, "Can I help you?"
This launches into a brief conversation with a gentleman who says he washes houses. Would we like ours washed, and was my husband here?
Um... there's a loaded question, cause, yeah, I would love my yellow-green house to be cleaned,. but since you are in a truck, with no markings on it of a business, I am not about to consent or tell you about my husband's presence!
Long story short, he insists he needs to walk around with Micah to give an estimate, and will stop by again, and no, there is no business card or anything.
OK, this kind of crap weirds me out, I will be honest.
Well, guess who comes back today?
Micah goes out and less than 5 minutes later, we are getting our house washed....
HELLO?
No estimates from a "professional"?
No calling some of his other clients to hear if they were satisfied?
No checking into what he is using, etc???

Yeah, I am a bit of a pessimist about these situations, so I will have to let you know how things turn out. Micah is a very good judge of character. He has picked up on things in people and then we find out later he was dead on right, so I will trust him, even though the planner in me wants to make these choices in a more, well, planned manner. AND preferably with a business card and glossy brochure. Maybe even a fridge magnet, ya' know...
I think I have seen one too many Dateline episodes about the "Travelers"... LOL.

Now... Moving onto the games and prizes...

Ok, so Karla gave me the idea when she guessed the baby's weight one day... SO here is the skinny...
IN the comments section leave a guess of the weight. The closest one will win some fun stuff... Scrapbooking stuff that is.(and lots of good stuff too!!) Unless it is my friend Sarah, she will win lots of teeth rotting candy like nerds, spree, skittles, etc :)


You should also challenge yourself to guess the arrival, sex, and name... but since I am not going to figure out that many winners, only the weight guess will count. The others, those are just to prove your innate ESP abilities to yourself...


You have until, well, until the baby arrives I guess. But please post all guesses here, cause I am too lazy to look through other posts for them... LOL. Sorry I can only milk this knockedupedness thing for so much longer ya' know? (cause then I'll be milking in a whole other sense... ROFLOL... man I am laughing so hard at myself for that terrible joke, I really should hit backspace but hey... a cheesy joke amongst friends is okay every now and them right???)

So, guess away...

  6. Hey there. I'll take a guess. Since I live in Georgia and I see you EVERY SINGLE day...this is gonna be dead on! LOL

    I'll venture to say you're gonna have a girl...simply because you can't be greedy and have ALL boys, LOL. And I'll say she'll weigh in around 8lbs. 2ozs. Her name will be Dawn, because that's such a pretty name and ALL girls, except Jayla should be named Dawn. Don't you like it?? Tee Hee As far as the birth date...I'll say sometime between today (9/8) and 12/31/07...HAHAHA (I crack myself up!)

    Have a groovy day!

  11. Hi Jude!
    Let's see... my guess is what my DD was,
    8 lbs 15 oz.,why a girl? well so you can UPGRADE (yes, reminds me of those damn tampon commericals too!) to GIRL CLOTHEs, bc boy clothes are lame!! I think everyone should have a boy and UPGRADE to a girl... only fair! I, of course, didn't go that route and have issues with not finding cute clothes for my boy.

    Anyways, have HER on Wednesday, Sept. 12th at 9:30am..though most naturals don't go in the a.m. do they? hehehe

    I think SHE will be 20 inches long and HER name??? WEll, Jenna's pretty nice or maybe Abigail?

    Good luck and keep on MILKIN'!!

  12. :) so, so funny you are, my skeptical, knocked up friend.

    While I would love to say girl, I'm pretty sure I saw a little something on that ultrasound picture. I know you said you couldn't but I just...I dunno, a shadow or something? So I'm gonna say boy{but really hoping girl}, 7lbs, 6 oz.

    He'll be here on...Sept 11.

    And he'll be super long, 22 inches, b/c Mama is super model tall.

    Oh, and a name...I have no idea.

    :)

  15. Sept. 12, boy, and 8lbs 7 oz.

    Actually, I haven't got a clue because I can't remember your due date. hugs... and I'm totally with you on the calling referecnes thing. My husband is a licensed general contractor and has been for many years and runs his own legitimate business. The State of California has been plagued in recent years with a lot of guys doing "Contractor" jobs and not doing them right then disappearing or finding out that he is not licensed, and can't be sued for whatever reasons, blah blah blah, and it makes it difficult for the licensed Contractors in this State not only are they getting a bad rap, but the state regulations on Contractors are getting harder and harder. Ok I vented...Im fine now. LOL.

  16. i'm going to say 8lbs 11 oz. (that was my "teeny" guy born in june). as for gender.....i've known a lot of people who had 2 boys and a girl. so i'll say girl, on september 12th. probably 21 inches(that seems to be pretty standard). and it won't be long now, no matter what day it is:)
    p.s. LOVED the milk joke(maybe something about me totally being there right now)

  20. Okay, let's see...

    I'm gonna go with Sept. 17. Babies seem to linger over the weekend and want to be born on Mondays! (mine did!) and hmm...maybe 8 lbs., 3 oz.

    I have NO idea on names, but kinda thinking about your other kids' names. It's gotta be kinda cool and original.

    How about...Everly or Aiden or Addison (actually, those were three girls that I was trying to name my last one, but my hubby trumped me on all of them. Dang him!)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Or maybe Harper, since I see that To Kill a Mockingbird is one of your fave movies. That's a good name!

  22. LMAO!!!! o it's been so long since I have visited you!!! many apologies...and my excuses about why aren't even comparable when you figure the pregnant one who is truly entitled to utter and absolute laziness is posting and commenting more than i!!!

    okay baby talk...i am guessing, and I apologize in advance, but hey I had a big baby girl so it could happen...9lbs 3oz (haillee was 9lbs 10oz LOL!!!)and while we're dishing out names...what about payten, aislynn, or hayden??

    okay...go have that baby..ciao chica!!33@hotmail.com
