Tuesday’s Tribute Trifecta

So Tuesday’s Tribute has moved from Jay’s place to Angie’s since Jay is taking some sort of blogging break. I miss you already my bald friend.

But of course Angie is a wonderful and gracious hostess herself and where the tribute goes, I shall follow!

My tribute comes in triplicate this week so here goes.

To Spring – I LOVE you dear Spring. Well, except for the never-ENDING wind you’ve produced this year. Oh and the fact that said wind made ANOTHER branch fall off of our tree out front. Oh and the way you’ve made my ENTIRE head ache, my nose constantly stuffy and sneezy and my throat scratchy. Oh yes, I just LOOOOOVE all of that…

One of your only redeeming qualities so far? This:

My second tribute goes out to maternity pants/jeans/capris (and no I will NOT be adding shorts to that list). Although I am not really looking forward to wearing them for the next six eight/nine months, what would we do without them? And to prove my point, here’s a 16-week belly shot. Yes, I already look REALLY pregnant. And please, no comments about how big my bootie is too. ‘Cause that would be just rude.

And my last but SO NOT least tribute goes out to my bloggy friend Melanie at Adventures of the Reluctant Housewife. I recently won a giveaway on her blog which included some crocheting supplies, which I did receive AND MORE! See, SHE’S the crocheting expert herself and she made this gorgeous blanket for the baby-to-be and these little “monster guys” (as The B Man calls them) for the boys.

How incredibly sweet is that? Thanks so much Melanie, you made a difficult day much less so with your thoughtfulness.

Head on over to Angie’s for more Tuesday’s Tributes.
