I have embraced my crafty nature. Lately I've had a desperate need to create stuff, whether it's knitting stuff, embroidering it, or even baking. Matt couldn't be happier; we have a fresh stock of cookies and/or brownies on hand and he's gotten a hot dinner every night for two weeks. So far I've started a cross-stitch blankie for Peanut and I got a GREAT book today on craft projects for your kids. I can't release the name of the book because I was inspired while reading it, and I can't let Amy and Annie figure out what I'm making for their impending spawn. So once their goodies are safely in hand I can tell you all about it. OH THE MYSTERY!
I updated my photo album because someone asked me why it was empty, so I figured pictures would be good. I threw a bunch of photos from our trip to Hawaii on there, and they turned out gorgeous. There's more than one I can't wait to get prints of and frame! I was worried my little camera wouldn't be baby-worthy, but my fears are now at rest; it takes awesome shots and I can't WAIT to start taking pics.
Countdown to leaving in one week for Washington! I am very excited, not only to see family but also because some very old high school friends got ahold of me to ask if I wanted to meet up with them. I'm very excited; I haven't seen these friends in at least eight years.
Definitely starting to nest, I think. Yesterday I made brownies and cleaned up after, only I couldn't stop at just cleaning up what I'd used; I did 90% of the dishes in the kitchen, washed the stove again and was really close to scrubbing the floor before I stopped myself and bolted for the living room. Through it all Moxie (my dog) watched with a helplessly lost expression -- she always looks like that when we clean. Probably because it's a foreign experience for the poor little thing. I've NEVER been a clean person, but things are apparently changing; I don't want my kids to be a slob like I am, so I'm hoping they channel the genes of their grandmothers and are spic-n-span.
Mwahaha, I just can't wait to surprise Annie and Amy with their baby gifts. I have been divinely inspired and forever after, I will be known as the Cool Cousin. I cannot WAIT. You better brace yourself!
p.s. I made meat sauce with my Grandma's recipe and my whole house smells like her kitchen now. Ahhhhh.

Um, It is totally not fair to torture the rest of us with the suspense! At least Amy and Annie are rewarded in the end! That is just plain mean!
