Tidbits

We have begun painting the nursery. We don't have a crib or anything yet, but the kid will have some nice walls to look at. We were mostly inspired by this pic.

We also painted the office and bought some curtains and trimmed the trees and fixed the sprinkler system, so all-in-all, we're coming out looking like very responsible homeowners these days. Well, we still have to order shades for the living room so we can take down the grubby canvas cloths pinned above the window, but we've picked out the supplier and color, so here we come, more-finished-looking house!

I saw the "Sex and the City" movie this weekend and I have to say it is a sorry time not to be drinking. I met up with Heather and some of her friends at a lovely bar in the afternoon where sun was pouring in and she had just discovered that cranberry juice mimosas were the best thing ever. Everyone was pretty drunky mcdrunk by the time we made it to the movie, and I would estimate they were in similar company throughout the theater. While some people paid homage to the movie by getting a bit sloshed beforehand, others dressed the fuck up. We're talking strappy stilettos and summer dresses and big fancy bags. To go sit in a darkened movie theater in. Which I found hilarious. But then I mentioned it later to J and he reasoned that it was no different than the nerds pulling out light sabers or storm trooper masks when heading to a new Star Wars movie. And that those girls could never ever make fun of anyone else who dressed up to go to a movie ever again. But I can. Haaaa...stiletto nerds!

Things that can impede my sleep:

--Heat

--Having fan on so that it makes curtain flutter over forbidden-to-Max windowsill, causing Max to obsess over getting into said windowsill

--Having other window open, causing Max to leap into and out of it over and over and over throughout the night

--Eating Oreos directly before bed, causing baby to swim laps in my belly all night; he's gotten very good at the flip turn

--Max alerting us every time he finds a suitable present to bring us: foam pieces, tissue, leather scraps, and as of this morning, an eye patch. There was no sign of a blinded pirate stumbling around, so that one's a bit of a mystery.
