About That

My response to the previous post:

1) Listen to, take notes for and remember (hah!) two lectures DONE!
2) Begin and compile either a lot of notes or write a couple pages for term paper number 1. I don't do outlines. I'm pregnant, you can't hold me to normal standards.
3) Go to Bible Study DONE
4) Don't think about term papers number 2 and 3, since they are longer and MUCH more boring than term paper number one. They are also due before number one. Easy Peasy Done
5) Shower. That should have been higher on the list and preferably before Bible study attendance. DONE (but not before Bible Study... oops)
6) Make two French Chocolate Silk Pies for Saturday and don't eat either one until Saturday. Unless someone cancels, and then excuse the excess to pregnancy and pig out. "The Baby wanted pie..." DONE
7) Stop by CVS and the grocery store and get ingredients for Saturday's Belated St. Patrick's Day Invite the world dinner. Wanna come? (If you want to come, but don't want pie, let me know, so that I can maybe have a slice before Saturday) I realized I already had the ingredients. Not done, but not needed.
8) I made quiche for dinner and it was delicious.

So... you can hold me accountable for all but the term paper. Go ahead. Do it.

Ooh! Ooh! I also applied for two separate jobs. That's something else I did.

Hold Me Accountable

...unless of course I don't do what I intend on doing, in which case I hate being called out. Only hold me accountable for the stuff I successfully complete, please.

On the "stuff I intend to complete today" list:

1) Listen to, take notes for and remember (hah!) two lectures
2) Begin and compile either a lot of notes or write a couple pages for term paper number 1. I don't do outlines.
3) Go to Bible Study
4) Don't think about term papers number 2 and 3, since they are longer and MUCH more boring than term paper number one. They are also due before number one.
5) Shower. That should have been higher on the list and preferably before Bible study attendance.

The Husband won't be home until late, so I intend on getting all of the above done and not falling asleep on the couch with Henry, who is always suggesting family nap time. What a lazy dog.

No, Preggers, Wrong Item.

Today I tried to swipe my credit card in the gas can of my car... sad.

Ranunculus

Today we went to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad - acres of bright, gorgeous reds, blues, yellows and pinks. I was delighted. And also we bought a bunch to plant at home. Naturally. Enjoy the pictures. They're cooler than my description.


My belly is NOT this big.. I'm leaning back to get the hair out of my face

Maybe I'm Shallow

...But it isn't bothering me. Jon and I just purchased a Bugaboo Frog Stroller on Craigslist for over 64% off the new price, and it has only been used a handful of times - it looks new, too. It came with all the accessories, including a bassinet attachment, rain cover, etc. I have to say, for having expensive taste, we do it well. I strolled it around the house to make sure it turns corners well... this thing could fit down a sale aisle in Ross and turn on a dime. I have a crush on it.

We also got a Britax Marathon carseat for a great deal as well. More expensive taste, cheaply fulfilled.

True, I'm only 13 weeks, but who doesn't like to plan ahead? And who wouldn't relish the thought of a Bugaboo in the garage, waiting for the arrival of their little bundle of joy? Nobody. Especially not me. I am happily and cheaply shallow when it comes to baby gear.

Yay.

Baby Girl Cousin Shower

I made a quilt. It is for our Butterbean's cousin, who is a little girl and is due in May.

This is the backing fabric, which I love. I also love the binding. No boring brown binding for this cousin!

We bought a lawn mower

...now our neighbors won't hate us. Jon mowed the front lawn today.

Also, we're researching stroller and car seats and all kinds of fancy, expensive things. Naturally I want the most expensive ones. Naturally.
He looks like a platypus when he sleeps with his head in Jon's shoe.
I made French toast with asparagus and orange beurre blanc. It would have been delicious if I could ever get over the texture of french toast. Bread is not meant to be wet. But I liked everything around it and Jon enjoyed it, so it must be delicious if you don't mind soggy nasty bread. Ugh. It makes me think of the pieces of bread we would throw to the ducks at the river that would get all wet and sink... yuk.

I'm supposed to be cleaning the office right now. It's on my list for Thursday. But.. it's officially Friday, being 25 minutes past midnight, so I figure I can put it off some more. Clearly I'm beginning to get over being exhausted. Thank you, baby Butterbean.
