I am …
… looking forward to Lindsay's wedding shower tonight. (Lindsay's in the picture above!) Well, to be more accurate, I'm looking forward to Lindsay's wedding shower tonight, and a couple of hours without Topher! As much as I love my little pickle, I need a break. I'm leaving Nathan with a bottle and detailed instructions for bathtime and bedtime and I'm going out! Sad, that I'm so excited to be going to a shower where I don't really know anyone apart from the bride-to-be and my mother-in-law …
… loving Anthropologie, though I highly doubt I'll ever be able to bring myself to purchase anything from there. $200 for a dress? No thanks …
… also loving the summer weather we've been getting lately and enjoying the opportunity to experiment with the smoothie maker we got as a wedding gift
… riding again after being off since October. (!!!) No, I'm not completely healed, and no, I don't have my doctor's permission (she actually told me to wait another 6 weeks …) – but oh well. The exciting thing? Nathan was planning to stop riding once I started up again (since he was originally only doing it to keep Ariel in shape) but he's decided he likes it too much - so we're both taking lessons
I knew I'd turn him into a horse nut …
… itching to redecorate our condo. I say "redecorate" but I really mean decorate, period – we haven't really done any decorating since we moved in and that was almost two years ago. Seriously, we have one picture on the living room wall and one in our room and that's it. I want to make it homey!
… counting down the days until my family gets here! I haven't seen my parents and oldest sister since the first week of May last year.
… finally starting to feel "caught up" when it comes to having a clean house. Everything was spotless before Topher was born but since getting home from the hospital it's been an absolute disaster. I still need to do some serious purging but at least the kitchen, living room and dining room are more or less presentable. Most of the time …
… thankful for all the baby shower gifts Topher's received in the past few weeks but not at all keen on writing thank-you cards. It's like our wedding all over again, but this time I know NOT to give any cards to Nathan to write on. He found some from our wedding in his desk at work about three months ago that he had never finished/mailed – we got married in August of 2008. Yeah.
… slowly working away on my website! (Switching to WordPress, a new layout, and other exciting things …) I only get time to work on it when Topher naps in the afternoon, hence the "slowly" … maybe I'll be finished with it by the time I go back to work next spring? Of course, by then I'll be bored with the layout I'm working on …
