My boring life...

I was sitting here at working thinking about how I hadn’t blogged in a while. So, I thought I would waste some of my boring day and write a little. There really isn’t much to write about honestly. Things have been going really well lately. I have been feeling good; my belly is growing every day. Ryan is going to be a kick-boxing champion. Oh, and for those of you who didn’t already know, we are pretty sure the name is going to be “Ryan Christopher Almond.” We are at least sure about the Ryan and Almond part.

Last week the alternator went out on my car. But, thankfully I had taken out an extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle, so it was covered. I think it was the first time that I felt smart about a purchase! Lol! Most of the time I have a warranty for something and I never have to use it, or the item breaks right after the warranty expires. I’m so glad this wasn’t one of those times.

I cleaned out my closet yesterday, which was a huge accomplishment. I am still very proud of myself. I now have room to put baby things in there! And, I found my knitting supplies! I had already started on a baby blanket last year, and it is colored for a boy! How convenient… So, I am going to finish it soon. Along with cleaning out the closet, I have also gotten almost all the laundry finished. Woohoo! We have a 3 bin hamper, and it is really not a good thing for us to have. We let our clothes pile up for way too long. So, as soon as the clothes are finished, I am throwing it out. I have decided that we need to simplify as much as possible before Ryan arrives.

They say that around the time you deliver, you go into nesting mode. Well, I can’t imagine what I will be like then, because I have been on a roll this week. Here is the list of things I have accomplished so far.

Hung Curtains in Bedroom
Hung Picture over bed
Went through clothes to give to charity
Cleaned out closet
Washed a ton of clothes, folded and put away,
Vacuumed
Dusted
Dishes (this never seems to be complete)
Cleaned Bathroom
Started on the Spare/junk room.

My goal is to clean out the spare room so we can put some baby stuff in there too. It isn’t really bad in there, but it needs some organizing.

So, my short blog has turned into a small novel. But, I am finished now. I don’t think I have anything else to add.
Except this: I’m not happy about Bret Favre, and I am so glad that Football is back; Even if it is only preseason!

There. Now I am finished!

I really like the name. Are you guys thinking about hyphenating the last name or something? Hey--Dave and I are going to be at the beach next week. Can we get together for dinner? We're coming on Sat. and leaving on Wed.
