:

ironic: i set out to find the closest mailbox (extend-a-chute mailbox that is.. have we talked about extend-a-chutes?) to our new home in hopes of getting an earlier start to our stack of support letters and thank you cards only to discover i was three minutes past the 3:30 pick-up of the closest non-post office mailbox. so i drove the extra five minutes to the downtown post office and on my way back passed the other mailbox, the one minute from home mailbox, being emptied at 3:45 by the mailperson. sigh.

idea: i think we're going to have turkey sandwiches or wraps with potato wedges for dinner tonight. i. love. potato. wedges. and the mounds of ketchup that go along with them. i'm going to preheat the oven right now.

kind of weird: on my way back into the apartment, i noticed one of our neighbors sunbathing on their balcony. this wouldn't be that weird except that the pool is approximately 50 feet away. seriously. how hot would you be sunbathing on concrete in this horrible heat? and what would convince you that moving your sunbathing location to the pool where you will have both a sunbathing chair and large amount of cool refreshing water at once, both things that are not provided on your balcony, would be too much effort?

other thought: i think i've started waddling.
correction: i think i've started noticing that i walk with a slight waddle to my step. i'm sure this waddling has been happening for some time. it's probably good that i have just now noticed it.

assignment for the day: we/i really need to make a decision regarding our babe's future car and other transportation. as in, if i go into labor tonight, we're technically not allowed to take the little guy/gal home from the hospital because we are still without a car seat. or stroller. or travel system. that's where i'm stuck - do i want a travel system? when will i use a travel system? what will life with a babe look like? and that's where i am.. i can't make a decision on a car seat because i don't know what babe life looks like. i mean, i have an idea, but really, how can you really know?

oi: these potato wedges are going to be amazing. and i haven't even started making them yet. i just know.

accomplishment: i walked for 2 hours today!

question: do you prefer to spell out numbers or use the numerical symbols for them? ur2sweet2b4gotten.

i have to go: either wedge potatoes or research car seats. both equally enjoyable but one ends up with TONS of ketchup.

maybe the person sunbathing on the balcony is agoraphobic. just a thought.
i also love potato wedges.
and sometimes i use numerical symbols for words, but only to be funny. or i shorten words like U or R because i think it's humorous. when someone is reading it, they can pick up that your tone is playful. that's the idea behind it, in my case.
in my experience, a travel system is very helpful in the first 6 months or so, b/c the baby is too small to sit in a regular stroller, so it helps that the car seat carrier can fit onto the stroller. also - if the baby is sleeping, well, you get the idea - you don't have to wake them up just to move them.
