A few things.

1. I read this exhortation to married couples sometime last week. I am still thinking about what it said, and it has continued to help me think differently about my interactions with Jeff. Good stuff there.

2. I bought some new springy fingernail polish this weekend. My nails are currently this color and I'm loving it.

3. Can someone explain to me the hair color option that involves a bleach blond layer on top and a dark brown or red color underneath? I see this style rather frequently here in Greenwood. (Is it sort of a country thing?) I cannot, for the life of me, understand the appeal of this style. Why would anyone do this willingly? (And apologies in advance if any readers have this style. Maybe you can explain it to me.)

4. I need some more book recommendations. I am currently reading a biography to Ty Cobb, which, if I'm being honest, is a bit boring. Thanks to Jeff, I love baseball much more than I used to, but a dry biography of an early baseball hero is not exactly my literary cup of tea.

I just finished reading Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. If you have any affinity for British literature/history give it a try. It was written in 1859 as a serial story, the first of its kind utilizing detective techniques to solve a mystery. I loved it and its free on Kindle.

Giveaway

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
