First of all, if any of you are also currently eating from the Fuckit Bucket, may I most sincerely recommend making yourself a Gooey Butter Cake. Take that sumbitch out of the oven about 10 minutes early, too, so it’s really gooey. Sure, you might need to go at it with a spoon rather than a fork, but that’s a small price to pay for putting the dessert equivalent of a full-body massage (WITH “happy ending”) in your mouth.
Also, please to be appreciating my fancy toes:
Sorry, I should have warned you before just sticking my feet all up in your face like that. I know some people are thoroughly skeeved by feet just like some people get weird lustful toe-boners and I hope you fall into the foot camp I’m in, which can basically be described as: Feet Are Benign Objects That Neither Call Me With Their Sexy Siren Song Nor Make Me Dry-Heave In Disgust.
That polish will probably be there six months from now, sadly. Oh, and I did look for Engorged Labia in my color choices but had to settle for whatever this was called — From Russia With Love, I think? Something wacky like that; makeup product managers must love it when they’re allowed to venture out of the “Peachy Keen” box.
The actual application-of-color part of a manicure or pedicure is nice enough, but it’s really all about the wonderful things they do to you beforehand, especially if you spring for the spa variety and get the bubbly foot soak and all. I even like the semi-terrifying paraffin dip, where you purposefully put your extremities in boiling-hot wax for reasons I’ve never understood yet still enjoy.
So I had my wonderful mani/pedi, and today I got my hair trimmed — just enough to put some longevity in the cut, I hope — and now I can focus on the important business of slothing around for the rest of the week. I’m going to read trashy magazines and surf all of your websites (heLLO, could you maybe update more often?) and make half-hearted attempts to make sure the house is ready for a baby and that we’ve put away all the bear traps and jugs of poison etc and will in all likelihood continue to mysteriously attract trolls at ParentDish while writing the most vanilla, non-contentious mommyblog entries on earth.
Also, there will be Gooey Butter Cake. Quite a lot of it, I’m afraid.

Gooey butter cake sounds awesome. Just from the title. I think I’d be scared to even think about eating it, though. What with all the butter AND cream cheese…
So why aren’t your feet all puffy and swollen?? Why? When I was pregnant, I had small balloons attached to my (balloon-like) ankles. Not fair.
I think I’ll jump on the bandwagon and take this opportunity to plug my blog! Check her out…start from the beginning…about a week ago…6 entries. That should keep you busy for 20 minutes or so. It goes well with Gooey Cake………..
YAY for you and your great Pedi…I am assuming the mani is just as nice. Good for you that you do nice things for yourself. Enjoy your “slothing”.
As for your blog over at ParentDish – I love your vanilla entries and as for the trolls, give them the verbal equivalent of the middle finger and write what you like.
Oooh, i loved the final week of my pregnancy. all the movies, food, and lying around that my absurdly large body could take.
p.s. there’s a four month old coat of “midnight in moscow” on my toes.
Here’s my favorite “gooey” recipie:

I wish i had skinny long toes like yours, my feet are seriously shaped like a baby foot. Fat and stubby and small. That being said I can always find my shoe size on sale.
No I am not of the toe-boner type. But my pre-christmas pedicure nail polish is also still on my toes and will be until either A. Summer, or B. it wears off.
I agree on the pedicure thing – I have even told my husband that the pedicure is not about the polish, it’s about the attention my feet get. I could totally skip the polish, so long as I would still get to soak, be scrubbed, etc.
And your feet don’t look anything like mine did when I was as pregnant as you! (Although my toenails were a very similar color from my recent pedicure).
Good luck – enjoy your last weekend as the mother of one child!!
You totally crack me up!!
You have exceptionally beautiful feet! And I *love* that nail polish color.
You guys are so nice, I swear. I don’t know why my feet aren’t the size of twin Goodyear blimps like they were with Riley, I guess maybe the super-cold (for the Pac NW, anyway) weather has some upsides? Either that or the excess water is going somewhere else during this pregnancy, like the part of my brain responsible for remembering where my car keys are.
Yum, you are making me hungry. With the cake not with the toes. It’s sad that pictures of your feet need to come with a disclaimer regarding passionate thoughts.
I’m so jealous! With another 6 weeks before I can happily run off to my maternity leave, I am stuck at work making wish lists of Fun Things I Will Do Before the Baby While On Leave. Cake and pedicures are definitely near the top.
Pedicures are the greatest! You’ve inspired me to run off and get one. (Also, to try for a baby if pregnancy will make me as good-looking as you are.)
I personally will be breaking out the “I’m Not Really a Waitress” red. Oh, OPI, with your punny suites of names for everything.
Damn but do you have a way with words.
How can your feet look that good? Where is the swelling? I week before both my kids were born my feet looked like they belonged to the Pillsbury Doughboy.
You are brilliant to remember to get all these things done before the baby is born.
I’m *so* happy for you that you get to relax and do whatever in the hell you want to do the week before the baby comes. SO much different from when you had Riley: didn’t even have a chance to clean out closets or pack your bag!
Enjoy your ‘vacation’, enjoy your perfectly pampered toes, enjoy everyone’s blogs (*coughMINEMINEMINEcough*), and enjoy all the sinful food.
Me jealous? Um, yes. But in a good way!
Love the toes – yeah, what is it about people who are turned on by feet? I’m sure someone will be tagging your photo anytime now to add to their “collection.” I also am fond of the polish names – I used to wear one called “A Man in Every Port” or something that might have been a little sluttier (“Cock in Every Port?”) In any event, the names these days are entertaining, to say the least.
I am just lurking around your site, waiting, WAITING, for the big event. So excited for you and can’t wait to see the little gem and then hear all about your trials and tribulations. I want to have another baby soon, too, but it is so hard to imagine doing all of that shit again (the getting up 10 times a night, the super-enhanced bat hearing where any noise made by the child is deafening and wakes you, the sore nips, etc). When I look at my son, though (he is just a few months younger than Riley) I know that it is all worth it, despite the fact that I wanted to throttle his darling ass this morning when he decided it was time to have “nana ju” (banana smoothie) and “wa choo choo” (watch Thomas video) at 4:30AM. It’s worth it, I say. I can’t wait to hear what you have to say on this go around!
Hang in there and have more gooey cakes. Soon enough you will be contemplating the damage (frankly, I think you look fantastic) and will be forcing yourself to eat those damned shrink-your-ass salads again!! More butter – NOW.
I’ve never understood the whole pedicure thing. Feet don’t gross me out, I just don’t see why you would want to take care of them and perdy them up. I pretty much pretend mine don’t exist unless I step on a nail or drop something on one of them. Occasionally I will bust out my razor knife and cut off the callus’, but otherwise, they are for walking on and kicking ass with, not looking at or pampering. And also, why the hell can’t make up people just name the damn product the real color. It’s red. There’s been the same three fucking shades since 1920 or whenever they created it. Red. It’s not from Russia, and it doesn’t come with love. Only lies about what color it is. And while you are out there checking sites, you might be interested in knowing that a certain pregnant somebody made my last post about internet crushes. I left out the part about how much fun I have dressing up your hair doll so you wouldn’t be creeped out. Have fun waddling around your ice land, it’s almost sixty degrees here. I worked outside in shorts and a t-shirt today. Also, I can touch my toes. Later. ;)
WORD on ParentDish. Did you make a real-life enemy with an incredible amount of time on his or her hands and a penchant for fake names, or something? Because — the dedication! It’s bizarre.
I have to tell you, I’m 5 months pregnant and ADDICTED to your blog. Not only your current blog, but ever since you posted every last detail about Riley’s birth and everything therafter, I can’t stop reading. I think by the end of tomorrow I might be caught up to the current and read all of 2 years in about 5 days. Thanks for all the great info.
[…] At eat entirely from the Fuckit Bucket. […]
I’m very happy for you that your pregnancy is almost over, but in a selfish way I’m bummed that the blog entries will stop for a while. Of course I know there will be new and cool entries forthcoming (new baby! new photos! Riley’s reaction!) so they’ll be worth the wait.
I think ParentDish must be paying those few wackos to post such terrible comments, just to stir up everyone in the hopes that PD will therefore get more readers. I love your stuff and I just don’t look at the comments anymore (maybe we should all make a pact to ignore the comments – you too Linda!)
Sounds like OPI polish – they have the cleverest, punniest names!
I’m scared to check out that Gooey Cake — we’re still suffering from the damages done by Comfort Cookies which just happen to have 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips, 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips, 1 cups chopped nuts and oh possibly 1 cup of butter. I think you need to ask me for the recipe for after the cake is done!
OH. MAH. GAHD. I followed Lawyerish’s link to the Paula Deen (Dean?) Gooey Pumpkin Butter Cake, from your post a couple of days ago. DUDE. SERIOUSLY. I might die of sugar shock and blissful dessert enjoyment. I think perhaps I have never tasted any cake that was better than that stuff. I think we should re-name it something much more naughty sounding.
*running off to shove a spoon in the pan again*
i hate feet in general, but i think you have very lovely feet, esp. for a pregnant woman. i love OPI nail polish. my favorites are purpleopolis and i’m not really a waitress.
Seriously – your feet don’t even LOOK pregnant. My feet were terrible, my ankles were huge – of course, it was July in Southern Mississippi, which is hot, damn hot – but still. I am trying not to hold your beautiful pregnant feet against you, if only because I have a huge blog crush on you, in the most platonic sense.
A pedicure is really the best thing you can do for yourself right before having that baby – I know my own would cheer me right up, and make me feel pretty, even if I hadn’t brushed my teeth OR my hair.
I really like the color and am apathetic towards feet…so…good entry. One of my feet is currently encased in one of those odd air casts that they tell you to wear all the time, and you never do. At least, if you are me.
This is off topic, but you should totally enter Dog in the WE TV Picture Perfect Pet Contest! You have sooo many awesome pictures of her + she has a flock of fans.
I entered my fur baby:
http://pictureperfectpet.wetv.com/profile.aspx/kellymars/?sort=alpha&r=1&pos=5197
The winner gets 5,000 smackers (or bones, I should say, since it IS a doggy contest).
My little one came running to the computer to see your pretty toes, she thinks they are very beautiful!
So – I knew what the Gooey Butter Cake is without having to click on the link. I avoided clicking on side link because seeing a Gooey Butter Cake and/or the list of ingredients causes me to gain 5 pounds! I’m jeolous – sort of. I’m in the reduction phase of my life and have lost 80 pounds recently. No Gooey Butter Cake for me – thank you very much.
[…] February 2, 2008 amykatrina I decided to make a gooey butter cake of sorts. This phenomenon, the transformation of a cake mix into something heart-attackingly decadent, was pointed out to me by All & Sundry and her commenters. It sounded too good to pass up. As you well know, I can’t see a dessert and not try it. […]

I imagined this was a genuinely very good blog put up. I always like reading articles or blog posts such as this a single. I should endure more of one’s posts.
There are some interesting closing dates on this article however I don�t know if I see all of them center to heart. There is some validity however I’ll take maintain opinion till I look into it further. Good article , thanks and we want extra! Added to FeedBurner as properly
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to deliver up. I offer the thoughts above as basic inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you deliver up where crucial thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impression of just a moment�s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no back up. Do you have any solutions to stop hackers?

I am really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this issue?
Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. However think of if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its field. Good blog!

I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
