This weekend was lovely, and I do have more pictures to post when I get them from J’s camera, but here is just a taste:

Excuse the quality; they’re from my phone.

Leaning on J’s arm when I’m too tired to hold my head up. haha.

From-scratch vanilla icing; more info to come

Better pics to follow of these AMAZING cookie-cupcakes

Baking and evidence that my oven is really horrible. Burnt, undercooked, burnt to a crisp, on one pan! Incredible!

Vanilla batter. MMMMMM.

I haven’t really bought any maternity clothes. I sort of refuse to have a separate wardrobe for so brief a time, although I know it’s probably going to have to happen.

I’ve had people lend me things, but they are sitting in the bedroom under a mental label of “for later.” However, I did peruse the clearance racks at Target where I found a pair of jeans (jeans!) for $14. Lately, I found that they are really comfortable as “regular” jeans really dig into me. So I wore them out to dinner last Friday. Then to a party on Saturday. Then Sunday with a t-shirt. Super cute. Well, I put them on again Tuesday night and J said “do you need to buy another pair of those jeans?” I said, “why? I’m fine with the one pair.”
“Because you’ve worn them for like 5 days in a row.”
(It was actually 3 in a row, and a fourth non-consecutive day.)
“Well, I mean, I don’t think I need maternity clothes yet, these are just more comfortable than my little skinny jeans I usually wear.”
“I’m not complaining about the expense – it just seems all you wear anymore, and I thought you should know I don’t mind if you buy another pair.”

So Wednesday when he got home from work and I was not wearing said jeans (they were in the washer) he had to say “who is this? Oh, it’s K?! I didn’t recognize you without those damn jeans!”

Do you have a song (I know you do) that maybe you don’t hear too often, but it pops up on Pandora and brings a smile to your face?

I know I have hundreds, but here’s the one I’m listening to currently:

Lucky Denver Mint, by Jimmy Eat World
From their album Clarity.

It’s track two on the album, but while you’re there, listen to track 1, which is insanely gorgeous. Then listen to the whole rest of the album because it’s really great. 🙂

This is going to be a post full of words for once!

I’ve had blogs before. Two to be exact. In fact, I think I was one of the “first generation” of bloggers on Live Journal back in High School…although I don’t remember calling it a blog or knowing of it as such. I love to write, and write I did…but I found that as my attention span has shortened and life has gotten busier, the blogs I am “reading” were mostly picture-based. So in creating this blog, I wanted something that was fun, cheerful, and picture-filled to document the day-to-day discoveries I make.

Sometimes the effort to create a meaningful post prevents me from posting at all, and yet I know that the more I post, the better this blog will be. SO, I have decided to try and post every day, if it is humanly possible, and create something that is worthy of a daily stop in your internet routine.

I hope you’ll join me…
