Wasting Time

A.K.A. What I've been up to lately-

Jessica Simpson bag...a possibility.

 Shopping for the perfect "Mom Bag"...I refuse to carry a diaper bag unless I find one that is super fabulous.  So far no luck.

I didn't even make it a whole day in this get up.

 Complaining about maternity clothes.  Luckily I didn't invest in many pieces because I still hate them all.  I mean, is this a shirt or dress?!  Super UN-flattering.

Years and years of writing.

 Typing up my Nana's writings.  My Nana was an exceptional poet...we are lucky to have page after page of her original writings.  Ugly cry count: 1.  I consider this quite the accomplishment.  My Dad's family is compiling all of her writings into a book to be printed.

You don't know Mitt about Mitt...props to my bro for that slogan.  Can we please get that on a t-shirt?!

Attending political events.  Okay, so just one since the whole Bachman thing months ago...but I'm pretty sure I've met my lifetime quota.  That would be the hubs and myself in the bottom left hand corner. Don't be fooled into thinking that I stood the whole time.  At some point one of my nieces got tired and I volunteered to take her to sit down in the back.

One of the fabrics for Lo's room.  The series of fabrics that I chose is named "Roco Beat"...if you know my family you can appreciate the humor there.  If you're just blog stalking, sorry you won't get the joke!

Convincing myself that I need to be nesting.  I don't know when that whole phase is supposed to happen but I think I might have skipped over it.  I did finally settle on a group of fabrics for nursery decor and purchased them.  Mimi is already whipping up baby bedding as I type this.

Please don't sell out before I get my buns in gear... I can't just have a wood tone or white crib for my child's nursery.

Talking about ordering this sleek navy blue crib.  You would think that I would have learned my lesson after the gray crib of my dreams sold out forcing me to go back to the drawing board for the entire nursery scheme...but sadly, no!  Maybe I'll order it tomorrow...or the day after that, or the day after that.  

And lastly, compiling a list of more people than I would like to admit to for the baby shower.  I haven't done one since my wedding 8+ years ago and I don't care to do another one for a very long time.  You're always going to forget someone or offend someone...or how about the person that you DO invite that wonders why you did.  Too much pressure!  In all seriousness, I am looking forward to the baby extravaganza in a few weeks.

So to sum it up- baby, baby, baby, baby and BABY!  Oh heavens, I've turned into THAT person.

On The Verge

I could be the closest I've ever been to a nervous breakdown this morning.  I couldn't sleep last night, my mind racing with last minute thoughts- did I get everything done that I needed to before the big move?  I finally got up at 6:45 and just got moving.  I put away most of what I could recall from my nights mental to-do list.

Last night Hubby and I cleaned out and tried to organize the garage in such a manner that when the movers pack it it won't take us 10 years to figure it out.  My house looks like a tornado came through it, all of the furniture is in the middle of each room.  Of all days, I got called in for an appointment that I absolutely could not get out of this morning so my visiting teaching companion is coming to sit with the movers while I'm gone.  When I get back home I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself.  There will be no TV, no furniture, no books or magazines.  All I will have is the internet on my phone and/or laptop...how long will I be able to entertain myself on the internet while sitting on the floor?!  Hubby has to work a full day today so it's just me until he gets home or until Bab gets here to help me clean this place.  My Bab is coming to clean this place like no other.  Hopefully it'll be so sparkly that it'll sell quickly!

All of the preliminary inspections have been completed for the relocation company.  Now we just wait to hear what, if anything, needs to be fixed on the home.  We will then do repairs and list the house as soon as we get them completed.  Oh, and it's raining today...yay!

I am not really an animal person but this picture is just so appropriate for this blog...don't ya think?  Confession: The little squirrel claws are freaking me out a little!
