again, this has been a seriously productive weekend! my desktop is full with all the polaroids i've managed to shoot, and i got caught up with henry's baby book, started a mobile for him, filled a few etsy orders, finally bought a swimsuit, and made a new brooch to go with my outfit for a wedding we're attending next weekend. it feels so nice to get things accomplished!

i have to admit, this holiday weekend is shaping up quite nicely.

yesterday we took sock for a super long walk to get out of the heat of the house. 90˚ with no a/c isn't a heap of fun, but at least it was breezy outside. then we hit up the thrift store and hobby lobby, and came home with arms full of crafty goodness, a polaroid spectra camera (that actually works, finally!), 60 rolls of expired 35mm (at 20¢/roll, i couldn't pass it up), new clock parts for mr. owl clock, and a pile of baby clothes! then spent the evening eating crappy chinese and watching henry poke out of my belly.

today is about sleeping in, gardening, crafting, and hopefully hitting up the photobooth in manitou (and perhaps, while we're there, enjoying a slice of pistachio chocolate pie...)

i think the best part of all is that i still get to sleep in tomorrow, too. hooray for long weekends! now if only we had a pool... and a picnic!

I got my new external hard drive this week. finally. 1.5TB of bliss.... which led to the exchange:

him: does anyone really need 15 gigs of futurama?

me: I do, obviously.

my computer is all backed up now and I'm ready to start going through stacks and stacks of photo cds. helloooooo holiday weekend!!

also, I'm being featured on a supercool little blog this week!

ugh.

my insurance company contracted out someone to investigate my emergency room claim because the hospital listed it as "back pain." they called today to find out who caused the accident that injured my back so that they could file a claim with their insurance.

sorry guys, you can't sue my fetus. i'm the only one allowed to do that.

fancy.

for the first time in months i feel not only really good, but like i'm productive again.

i re-activated my etsy shop, added some new items (with more to be added soon), changed the header, and already made 2 sales this morning!

i read a book this week, too. The Neon Bible. very highly recommended, if you happen to be interested in what i've been calling a softer version of Catcher in the Rye.

i made myself a new little scarflet, and i finally finished the blanket i've been working on for my niece (since october, or something stupid).

we got a new app on the iphone, finger physics. addictive and infuriating and completely AWESOME.

i started working on the baby book. got all of the sonograms into little plastic sleeves, and since i feel better, i managed to find nice things to write about.

we went and registered for all the fun baby things at target and babies r us, which was pretty exciting.

Logan is back for the weekend, so we've been playing and shopping and now we're off to a birthday party. yay!

shemale.


20 weeks! finally hit the halfway mark, which is a relief. as sean said last night, "it's only downhill from here.... except for that whole labor and delivery part."

i'm feeling a lot better; no pain, less nausea. thank goodness. we did the ultra sound at our appointment this weekend to make sure there was still a girl in there.... but now we're not so sure. could've been a penis, could've been the cord. guess we'll have to wait a few more weeks to know for sure. but the shemale is definitely getting a lot bigger! and stronger! last night we could feel her kicking from the outside. it was pretty cool.

i feel like there really isn't anything else going on in my life right now except this whole baby business...and i'm satisfied with that. i got sean addicted to Bones a couple weeks ago, so that seems to take up all the time we aren't cooing and poking at my belly.

one of these days i'll get my etsy shop back up. i spent some quality crafty time down in the basement last night and it got me all excited to start some new projects.
