Bullets.

The days are going to get crazy for a few, so in case I don't get to any blogging of substance soon, a quick list of stuff.

~ Go Phillies! (heh. I really don't care about the phillies. As long as Tampa Bay does ~not~ win.)

~ Thanks for all the "that sucks!" comments about getting money stolen. It's not that huge of a deal actually, as we were able to stop it in time, but I do appreciate the comments.

~ I went to PBK (pottery barn kids) tonight to buy a baby shower gift for this weekend. I went in with the idea of buying a simple blanket and left after spending $400. But, I got quite a bit!
- One of the area rugs I've been coveting was on clearance. I bought this one, but was also eyeing this one. The one I bought was originally $299 and I got it for $170. So the price is what won the war.
- I got some pretty cool matching curtains. I decided on the solid orange, as it'll go with the bedding I already have and the baby blue paint on the walls.
- Good lord. What else did I buy? I got a changing pad cover, a few little toys that are for a boy (all my baby toys are pretty much for girls. go figure.), halloween decor and some odds/ends for the girls for being so good.
- I think PBK should really stand for "people buy Kompulsively_here" (yeah, yeah, so it doesn't fit) but PBK is the freaking cutest kid store on the face of the planet. But all so damned expensive. Yet the kids' rooms I have decorated are right out of a catalog picture. Oy.

~ The new carpet will be laid this coming Tuesday! I rented a large storage unit today just so we can move things in/out easily. Hopefully hubby will do it all this weekend while I'm away. What this all means though is I will have a completed nursery within a week or two! I haven't started it due to getting new carpet, but as soon as that's done, it's ~on~! And I think I actually have everything already. Wait, no. I need a new curtain rod.

~ I fly to Phoenix again on Friday for my BFF's reception party. Yay! Due to ICLW, I'll try to have some scheduled blog posts ready for daily posting. Nope, you won't get away from my incessant babbling while I'm away.

~ U/S went fine this morning, yet it was super long. Karl didn't want to do a practice breath for almost 30 minutes and then when on the heart monitor, he didn't want to do any moving. I usually go in after lunch, but today was 1st thing in the morning. Little boy slept the entire time.

~ I want to give (and ask you for some) really good vibes to my friend Laurel. She's going through a really hard time right now and could definitely use some virtual hugs.

~ Although I submitted it for LFCA and it was posted today, huge congrats to gretchen for a BFP on her 5th and final IVF cycle. I'm nothing but ~thrilled~ for her.

~ Thanks to Tori for thinking of me for an invite to a local scrapbooking convention. I freaking laughed out loud. (see my schnarky post a few below for how I really feel about it!)

~ Due to ICLW, I am doing my best to be an Iron Commentor again, so forgive all my regular blogs for any lack of commenting, as I've got 100 other blogs to read/comment around my vacation this weekend!

~ I'm sure no one has really gotten this far, so I bet I could say anything right now. I ate dinosaur for dinner tonight.


Ack. It's 12:14am now and I have to get to bed. Goodnight everyone!
