Welcome to my ramblings. This post doesn't really have any pertinent information in it. Mostly, I'm just bored and randomly mumbling whatever comes to mind. You have been warned, so don't feel bad if you actually do read all of this and then wonder what the point was... there really isn't one.
So, very little has happened lately. Other than the normal complaints of pregnancy, which is getting a little old and boring on some days, there's not much to be unhappy about. AJ has decided on a color for his bike... but I'm not gonna spill the beans just yet. In case he changes his mind... or it doesn't turn out like he hopes.
In order to stave off the baby boredom, I've come up with a few projects to entertain myself with. The only hang-up now is convincing myself to actually do them. Some of them I actually have started and a few I've actually completed. The curtains I made for the living room need a little tweaking. AJ isn't really excited about them... he thinks it makes our house feel like a dungeon. I like them because they make me feel like I can open the blinds and not have the entire neighborhood staring at me all day and night long. And if I want to watch a movie and not have a glare from the window on the TV screen, I just shut the curtains. They do what I wanted them to and I think they keep our lower level warmer than it used to be. We've got such awful drafts around our window and the back door. So, fixing those are my project this weekend during conference while AJ's at Drill. That and adjusting all of my clothes that don't fit. Hemming up my pants, mostly. Story of my life.
I've gone through my clothes and pulled out the ones that don't fit anymore... now I just have to find somewhere to store them until I can wear them again (hopefully... someday, maybe). I've also washed all of the baby's clothes that we have accumulated so far. I have to find somewhere to store them too until we actually start setting up his little domain. I think we've decided to keep him in our room for the first little while. It's just so convenient to have a guest room when people come visit. We're not quite ready to give that up and AJ has too much Army and computer stuff for us to move all that out of our other spare room. We'd have no where to put it. So, unless we put our baby in the hallway... or the bathroom? or worse yet, the linen closet?... looks like our room is it. For now anyway.
So, there you have it. I'm finally caught up on laundry. Most of it is folded and put away. There are a few things in the dryer still and a basket of little baby boy clothes that need attention, but all in all, not too bad. I made potato salad from scratch today. Not really hard, but I'd never done it before. It didn't turn out too bad, if I may say so myself. AJ ate it, so I guess I'm still earning my keep around here. There is a delicious strawberry dessert chilling in the fridge (at least I'm assuming it will be delicious). I'd call it a full day. =] Especially when you consider I slept funny on my neck so it's sore... and my back is killing me.
Oh, and I've planned a sunny vacation we'll probably never take. Complete with gas mileage calculations, hotel accommodations, and attractions. Like I said, it probably will never happen, but hey, it gave me something to focus on rather than wallowing in these pregnancy blues. It doesn't hurt to dream... as long as you can differentiate and accept reality. The sunshine sure would be nice though...
