• I have not one but TWO showers this weekend. Tonight I'm having a small cocktail party style one with my closest girlfriends. Tomorrow evening we are having a couples shower. It was hard to fit everything in with the busy Fall schedule, but I'm glad it worked out. After these two I have one large luncheon style one left to go. At first I thought four showers was a bit excessive. Then I realized how much crap you need for a baby. Now I am just appreciative that we have so many generous friends! :)
• I'm getting a little worried about December. We have gotten a slew of invites and save the dates for holiday parties in December. Even in a normal year it is a pretty exhausting month. That coupled with the fact that I'll be nine months pregnant seems a little daunting. I'm going to have to remind myself to relax and take it easy.
• Speaking of the holidays... I think I need to start shopping. I'd rather have it done sooner rather than later. I figure I might as well start while I have the energy.
• Another thing holiday related... I've been wondering how much decorating I should do for Christmas. Decorating wouldn't be an issue, it's more the removal of the decor that I'm thinking about. Am I really going to want to take ornaments off a tree a week before giving birth? Not to mention the possibility of the baby coming early. I LOVE Christmas and wouldn't want to give up a tree altogether, so I'm thinking of getting one and just doing lights and cheapo silver balls that are easy to take down or could even be thrown away. T can be in charge of the tree removal, of course. (We get a live one.) We'll have to see how it goes for the rest of the decor stuff.
• There is a 350 pound man walking by my house right now on the way to the park singing opera at the top of his lungs. He does this almost every day. I always know it's about nine o'clock when I hear him. In case you were wondering.... he is not a good singer. He certainly makes me laugh though.
• I'm excited that it's grapefruit season again. Pomegranates and grapefruit... two of the few produce related pleasures of the Fall/ Winter season.
• I'm trying to dream up more randomness to avoid my next task of the day... Cleaning bathrooms.
Gah.. better get to it and get it over with. Have a good weekend!
