Another Random Fabulous Friday!!

UPDATE!! In honor of the black stretchy pants... TDodds bought me an adorable black jacket from Target this afternoon. *sigh* He must have felt really sorry for my grieving self.

I have more randomness for your lovely Friday...

Fridays are my favorite!

First of all TDodds and I would like to spur you on and encourage you to comment on our blog! We would love to see more feedback from you! You can say things like... "Wow Bailey you are so lame." or something like, "Who in the world is TDodds!?" or even, "Aubrey is the prettiest baby in all the world!" or, "Great post..." Some of you are faithful readers and you never comment! I know who you are (Mom!!). Anyway... I wanted to explain to you how to make comments just in case you would like to but weren't sure how. It is rather confusing if you've never done it before! And you don't have to have a Google account!

-Scroll to the bottom of the post and click on the underlined link that says "0 comments" or it might say "45 comments" which is also wishful thinking!
-In the text box, type whatever you would like to say (examples stated above).
-Choose an identity. If you have a Google account you can sign in and post under your account. If not, then choose "anonymous," but just make sure that you sign your name in the text box, so that we know who you are!
-Click "publish your comment." The comment will then be immediately emailed to me for approval so that if you say something really awful like, "I hate coffee." I can choose to not show it!

If you ask a question in your comment, I will always comment back to answer the question.

If you would like to "follow" our blog but don't know how... you have two options. Number 1... create a Google account. Once you have created your account, just go to the top of our blog page and click "follow blog." Following us will just help you keep up with when we blog and such things like that. Number 2... you can follow us via RSS. Most browsers have RSS capability, or you can use "Google Reader."

We want you to comment because we love chatting with you! Really we do! We LOVE you!

Ok now on to more exciting things. Some of you know about my black stretchy pants and how they were my saving grace when I was pregnant, and one of my best friends post partum. Well... this week I did something really earth shattering! I packed them up...

Here is my "Ode to Black Stretchy Pants..."

Oh Black Stretchy Pants... how I have loved you! You were like a cozy fire and a warm blanket in the coldest of winter months. I will miss your loose fitting material in a terrible way, but you stopped fitting like you were supposed to. The hardest thing about our parting is that you do not belong to me... you were a lone from a friend, and so I am not promised that I will get to share another pregnancy with you. You now live in a box in my closet, and you are waiting to return to your original owner. Are you as sad as I am Black Stretchy Pants? Why do you have to be maternity pants? I will forever remember you as the best Black Stretchy Pants ever stitched together... and I'm afraid I will compare every other pair of Black Stretchy Pants to you. Seeing you go, is like seeing the end of an era. The black stretchy pant/pregnant with Aubrey era. What sweet times we shared over hot mugs of coffee. I will love you always. Good bye.

Was that too much drama?? I'm over it now... thanks for walking with me through that!!

On another note, I made that Lemon Spaghetti recipe last night to go with our fish and it was SO YUMMY! A perfect compliment to our tilapia! You should try it!

I hope you have the best weekend ever! Love you all!!

Hey Bailey!

I had a pair of black stretchy pants like that once. I wore them so much I had to throw them away...I miss them too...I understand your black stretchy pants ode..

Great Post!

You crack me up! Maybe I need to explain the comment thing on my blog. All this time I just thought it was me and my lack of loyal readers. Maybe you have discovered something.

I truly felt your stretchy pants pain. Does it hurt a girl to wear stretchy pants that don't fit quite right? I don't think so!

OMG!!! That is the funniest blog yet! I am an avid reader of your blog and the blog today has totally lifted my spirits. As you have heard, I have been very very sick and today is the first day I feel semi human! Thank you for the humor! You and Tyler are such an inspiration!

Ok, I read your blog all the time, but I've never laughed this hard in my whole life. You have write an ode to every part of your pregnancy so that I can always laugh this hard. Also, I keep trying to get to you to see your sweet baby in real life, but ya'll get swarmed every time you walk in. So I shall wait my turn. Okay that's all. =] Kaylea Killam.

Ok finally figured this out Bails! I have been trying to figure this out for months. I love hearing about everything that you do and that Aubrey Grace and T does. It makes me feel like I am a part of your lives since we are so far away. Please give Aubrey Grace kisses for me and tell her how much I love her. Oh, look for a box I had fun shopping! If there is something that you dont like or needs to go back I left tags off. It is amazing at what you find on racks at JCPenney.
I love you

As much as you love baby Aubrey, I love you the same...my sweet baby girl, Bailey!

After reading your comments on Molly's blog, I decided to check yours out! I feel the same way about getting comments! Molly's great about leaving comments...and of course my mom and sister! Other than that, who knows who reads it!

I LOVED your ode to your stretchy pants! I'm just starting to wear maternity stuff and already have a few favorites! I feel your pain!

p.s. I met you at Zephyr this summer during the chat time with Billy and the guys...just so you can put two and two together!

Cymbre!! I'm so glad you found me! I can't wait to check your blog... and of course I remember you!! :)

I had an ode to my purple shirt. I wore it all thru my pregnancy and after I had Cassie it just didn't look the same, but it packed up ready for the next one. I now want to go get it out of the pregnancy chest and hug it.
The Dodds said…
Kara! That is hilarious! You should totally do that!!
Karen said…
You are a funny chick, Bailey. :) That is hilarious. Maybe I should write a song about my 2 YEAR affair with stretchy pants. I hated to let them go...but it just wasn't fair to my other pants, being so exclusive and all. :)
