Well, maybe Shrike suggested it. . . .

Photo Hunter #61: Bad Hair
Oh, I thought they said Bed Hair.
Why the blue dots? Would you want to be identifiable looking like this?!?

Photo Hunter #53: Self
Belly Shot #1: 14 weeks, 5 days
Nothing to see here, check back in a couple of weeks
I'd like very much to claim that what you're looking at in this photo is a brand-new "baby bump" (ugh, I hate that term for some reason!) but it's pretty much just some tummy flab that was there long before Peeper was a sparkle in anybody's eye.
Over the past couple of days, though, I have started to notice that my lower belly seems to be getting firmer, so I think Peeper is finally going over the wall, my uterus is clearing my pelvic bones, and I should expect to start seeing something soon.
So, I figured I'd better go ahead and get a baseline "before" photo, before I start having something real to show off!

Photo Hunter #52: Time
This is Shrike and BigGaloot, and they are very cute and all, but notice the alarm clocks on either side of the bed. Evidently we sleep on the International Date Line.
(And, no, setting my clock thirty minutes ahead does not get me anywhere on time.)

Photo Hunter #51: Funny Signs
I've skipped the PhotoHunt for a couple of weeks, but hope to get back on track now.
(For some reason, memes have been really hard for me, since I've been pregnant. Odd.)
I didn't actually take this photo, because the signs aren't up anymore, but I got such a kick out of it (and others got so up in arms about it) that I just had to use it for this theme .
Other signs that I've seen around here (or back home) which would have made good photos for this theme:
- Please be patience. Food prepared fresly. (Handwritten, at a local Mexican restaurant.)
- Godloves Discount Liquors (Well, who doesn't!)
- Why Wait? Get Your Wheelchair Today! (Rather fatalistic, don't you think?)

Photo Hunter #53: High
The wine and liquor glasss are on a shelf that is too high for Shrike to reach. Many times, I've caught her trying to fish one down with a spatula, and have insisted on getting it for her myself, because I'm convinced she's going to send it flying across the room. I guess she'll be on her own in a few months, when I've got too much baby-belly to reach the counter, let alone the top shelf!

Photo Hunter #52: Metal
This is my replacement wedding ring. Shrike and I ordered identical ones on our way to our anniversary dinner the night after Valentine's Day, and they came in a couple of weeks ago.
The funny is, I'd been talking for a while about getting them, and had been telling Shrike that I wanted them "before I get pregnant - because I don't want to be walking around all fat and pregnant with no wedding ring on!"
At some point, she said something that made me realize that she thought I was being superstituous and believing that I wouldn't get pregnant until I had a ring.
Now, that's just silly.
On the other hand, I picked them up two days after transfer, right as the Peep(s) was/were implanting.
Hmmm . . . .

Yet, somehow, both buttheads.

Photo Hunter #49: Party
Gov. Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic Party, and the reason that I am involved in politics. I took this photo when I went to hear him speak in a nearby town, about a week before the 2004 election.

Photo Hunter #48: Wooden
This wooden bowl is made from the remains of a tree that grew at my summer camp.
It's a long story, but the tree was called The Wishing Oak, and the tradition was that it granted wishes.
It blew down in a hurricane, and afterward we discovered that it was almost completely hollow inside.
One of my campers (who grew up to be a good friend of mine) said, "I guess it was hollow to hold all the wishes."

Photo Hunter #47: Free
Free food (sort of):
A few months back, we joined the "customer loyalty" program at a semi-fancy-ish (for us) local restaurant, and at the beginning of February we received a buy-one-entree-get-one-free coupon for our anniversary.
After having our official Valentine's dinner at home on Thursday, we decided we'd go out on Friday to celebrate our anniversary(ies) that we'd ignored earlier in the week.
We rarely get one entree there, let alone two, but we had to use the coupon, because it was free!
After two sides (one came with each entree), we only had room for a bite or two of the entrees, and the whole dessert had to come home with us, but it was delicious.
We had chicken parmesan, and shrimp with oregano cream sauce, each served with angel-hair pasta. Not shown are our sides - shrimp bisque and three-cheese garlic bread.
They make the most incredible shrimp bisque, and sometimes we just split a bowl of that and the cheesey bread, and call it a night!)
Also in the photo are a slice of chocolate peanut butter pie, and the free carnations that they were giving to all the women.

Photo Hunter #43: Important
This is a very bad photo of me with someone very important.
(If you think you know who this guy is, feel free to identify him by title or job description, but please don't put his name in the comments, just because I don't want anyone stumbling in here while Googling for him!)
