TWO SONGS IN MY HEAD

1. When Brad and I moved to the St. Louis area a few years ago it took me a few months to find a job -- and when I did I was beyond grateful to be adding to the GNP again. However; as I drove away from work on Friday - my very LAST day ever - I was again beyond grateful that it was over. And even though the theme of this song is totally unrelated I listened to it the entire 1 hour drive home, Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap. I think it was the phrase, "won't stop 'til it's over," that felt apropos.

As I told someone the other day, I'm really going to enjoy "living off the fat of the loans." That being said ironically.


2. As I've stressed about getting her nursery ready and it has subsequently become the best looking room in our house I've repeatedly heard the quote from Juno in my head, "Not like the baby's going to come storming in here demanding dessert-colored walls." Which is so true - but try convincing a pregnant woman not to nest. And as I've prepared otherwise for her to arrive - folding her little clothes, sewing her quilt, arranging books - I've consistantly and almost unknowingly hummed New Soul by Yael Naim.


ps - Obviously there's no baby yet, we're thinking it may be another 4 or 5 days. We'll keep everyone posted.

Remember back in the day when we used to drive to GKAS meetings together, and you would casually mention how you watched Prison Break. Or was it 24? Or maybe both? Anyway I thought we could not get into another TV show at night but am so glad we did not start watching it then. There is no way I could have waited each week for it to air. I am obsessed with Prison Break. And that is putting it lightly.

Congrats on the new addition soon. You will be an awesome mother. Don't forget to take so many pictures in the first 48 hours. You will get home in a week and think it was all a dream. Congrats again hun!
