As this pregnancy progresses I realize I have to get my entertainment in less traditional ways. Gone are the days when I could drink tequila and ride a mechanical bull (Ok perhaps I never did that, but now 7 months pregnant I am kind of sorry I didnt!) Unfortunately the highlight of my weekend is usually donning a pair of freshly washed pjs, gobbling a sundae and watching my tummy move to the beat of 'Footloose'.
I have, however, discovered a truly delightful form of entertainment available only to the large bellied preggos out there. Food shopping... well food shopping with a twist. I inadvertantly discovered this game while picking up a missing dinner ingredient (sour cream) and also indulging a last minute craving (cheetos) When a preggo puts sour cream and cheetos on the checkout counter it becomes very obvious that the cashier ASSUMES you are going to eat the two items together... I call this :the pickles and ice cream assumption".

So far my favorite combination to purchase has been Mayo and grapes. The cashier actually looked at my tummy at the items back to the tummy and then at me with her eyebrows raised and a delightful chuckle.
although fish sticks and vanilla frosting was a close runner up. (No chuckle)
this only works with less than 3 items... 2 is ideal but anything more than 3 completely loses the effect because then its just regular food shopping. But for those preggos who are looking for a little pregnancy only fun- I HIGHLY recommend it.
Sidenote- fish sticks IN vanilla frosting has actually proven to be delicious... I can not say the same for the grapes and mayo- that one was a little disappointing.
