We’re back. It was a lovely weekend. I am too tired to tell you about it all at the moment. Because coming home from even the most relaxing of vacations will still leave you in a sleepy stupor, knee-deep in dirty laundry. So that’s where my head is today. But I thought I’d give you a little something to look at:
Me, 32 weeks prego, with the Coke Polar Bear, outside the Coke store, Las Vegas strip.
I patiently waited my turn while he was accosted by mobs of squealy teenage tourists. Then, when it was safe to approach, I went up and — very innocently — put my arm around him. Like, only touching his furry waist, not anything boom-chicka-wow-wow. As Jon clicked the picture, the Coke Bear said to me in a very thick Spanish accent: “There are too many crazy women touching me! I can’t take it anymore!” And he ran away from me, into the safety of the store. I didn’t even know the Coke Bear was Spanish. I figured he was really from the North Pole, as the Coke holiday commercials suggest. But apparently this is not so; he is Spanish… and he’s afraid of scary pregnant ladies.
I was a little wounded as I waddled away…
(a few more pics up on flickr, if you’d like to take a peek)
Oh, and in case you missed it last year, I made a sweet video for Jon for our anniversary. I was too lazy and/or not mentally awake enough to do anything of the sort this year. But it’s still a cute video… just a year later. Check it out if you like.

Seriously, what dude complains about women touching him? Even a gay Coke polar bear would appreciate the attention (though my experience tells me no self-respecting gay man would get near a giant sweaty costume).
Wow.
I think you look stunning and I’m sure you were perfectly sweet.

Happy 10th Anniversary! I remember when you posted that video last year. I have been reading your blog for that long. Actually longer!
You look cute with the Spanish Coke Polar Bear. Don’t let his issues get you down.
