My car goes into the shop today to be inspected. I hate spending money on my car. The other day I figured out how much we spend a month on our cars, and it was horrendous. SO MUCH MONEY. From car payments, gas and insurance, I literally would be rich without it. Makes me sometimes look at the Amish and start to think, but quickly shake my head. What if cards DIDN'T cost so much, just think how much extra money a month we would have.... (sigh) It also doesn't help I don't live somewhere where public transportation could help with that problem. Not that I would want to move just for public transportation, but damn, I can't even ride a bike anywhere.
I think this week is going to go slow, because there is nothing planned this week, and next weekend and the weekend after are going to be my fun weekends for this month. I can't wait to go to the beach next weekend, and after that it's my "not" surprise shower.
Let me just touch on the shower thing, YES it's not a surprise, and YES I didn't want it to be that way. Is that so hard to understand? WHY does it have to be a surprise? WHY do I have to show up somewhere, not prepared, not dressed to how I might have wanted to be dressed? Luckily, my mom knows me best, and told me about it. Good choice Mom. Besides, I wanted Ryan included as well, and a few of my ideas too (No, I am not planning my whole shower, even if that's what it seems.) It's going to be fun. It's more of the celebration I am looking forward to. Yes, it's suppose to be all about gifts (which we totally need, registered at Babies R Us - cough cough) BUT honestly, I am looking forward to spending the time with our families, celebrating this gift that will be coming in just 3 short months! That's why it's less of a "traditional" baby shower and more of a BBQ Party! JUST how I would have wanted it (You go Mom again, she knows me) I am super excited for it.
Hello 28 weeks. It's hard to believe I am now 7 months pregnant. With 3 months to go, I'm starting to get antsy on things. Maybe it's nesting, but not to the full effect yet. I know things that I want to organize and clean, but still just look at them, so I haven't hit the, IT MUST BE DONE NOW stage. It's getting there though. I'm actually thinking about making an organized schedule of what I want to get done before the baby is due, that way I get those things done earlier and not rushing at the end, when I am sure I am not going to want to be doing much of anything really.
I think I'll make that now actually...
Happy Tuesday.
I think being surprised for a shower is a thing of the past. In my opinion, it's kinda stupid and old fashioned. HA. So I'd say you're just up with the trend of knowing. PLUS, when we're pregnant we LIKE to look/feel pretty. So, yea--being surprised? Not so much.
