Favorite things...
J being home. Even the kitties seem happier when he's here.
Afternoon thunderstorms. South Florida has been in an extreme drought since long before we moved here but the past few days have seen good, drenching rains. For the first time the pond in our community has water! The cranes, egrets and cormorants are out as soon as the rains stop, happily picking their way along the edges of the waterways*. I'm just waiting for the day it gets all Discovery Channel off my back patio and one of these poor birds gets snapped by an alligator in the canal...it's coming, mark my words. Yikes.
(*Thanks, Mom, without you I wouldn't know the difference between a crane and egret, much less that there are such things as cormorants.)
Taking care of business. It feels good to put your affairs in order, yes? Even if it means saying bye bye to the monies. Such is life.
Our midwife. She is one of the most peaceful persons I've ever met...there's no other way to describe her.
Baby is due on Rosh Hashana! How appropriate considering we're naming him Judah Adlai Mateo Abraham Harper Kahlil. At least half of those names are Hebrew in origin.
Mangoes. Strawberries. Spinach. Butternut squash. Yum. Yesterday, as I was cooking dinner, I was hit with the worst hunger pains. It was so crazy. One second it was, "La dee da, cooking dinner," the next my body was like, "FOOD FEED FOOD TO ME NOOOWWW." After I was all, "What the...what is this feeling...what...oh my GOD!" I literally grabbed for the nearest foodstuff that wasn't boiling or didn't involve peeling...thank God for saltine crackers. I nearly died, people.
The Perfect Pregnancy Workout DVD. I fell off this wagon for a good, oh, two months, but we are back on it! And feeling better and stronger than ever.
Pinterest, my ongoing obsession. If you're a member, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, please join so I can follow you and together we can pin to our hearts' content. Amen.
