This picture is for my mom to suffice her need to see my belly. There it is. All 23 centimeters of it.
It's been a few days since I've posted. Thursday morning my grandfather died. I wasn't very close to him - but it was sad all the same.
I couldn't sleep Thursday night and ended up giving up at 3:30 AM. I got up and started doing laundry. I put a load of towels in the wash and when they were done I went to change them to the dryer. They were sopping wet - so I figured the load was off balance and I ran it again. Again, they were sopping wet. So I took the towels out, wrung them out and tried to put them in the dryer. They were too heavy for the dryer to run even after I gave the drum a push start. So I gave up and put a load of whites in the wash. As the water was filling up I started hanging the towels on the drying rack. I soon realized why the towels were sopping wet when a fun little noise began coming out of the washing machine - the agitator had decided to stop agitating but the motor was still spinning wildly. Our washing machine was broke. So, by 4:45 AM I was online researching washers and dryers yet again. Fortunately - I found what I think was a really good deal! We got set of whirlpool washer and dryer, next day delivery, with all the needed hoses, vents, cords, taxes, etc. for a mere $720! We saved $300 for purchasing it as a set and 10% because we had a coupon. Not too shabby! The deal we were looking at last weekend would have been just below $1000 for a set of Kenmore's.
Saturday the washer and dryer was delivered and I began a laundry binge. I did about 6 loads of laundry Saturday and another 3 on Sunday - I may have been a bit behind!
Sunday I went to a baby shower for a coworker and was the driver to get her there. It was under the ruse of going to see Breaking Dawn and I was the driver and had to pick up the hostess of the party. And of course, to get her in the house, we had to go see a picture that the hostess' daughter had made for us. Of course, after the shower, we went to see Breaking Dawn and now I'm contemplating re-reading the entire series again before Adin arrives. First, I have to lend Anna the first book and see if she gets hooked.
The below picture is my weekend breakfast. An egg and cheese on a mini-bagel with three slices of turkey bacon on the side. Turkey bacon is my new obsession! If you get the thin sliced kind it has the taste and texture of real bacon - but take a look at the nutrition facts! What a difference!!! I fried up the whole package so I can just microwave a few pieces up and have a mid week snack :)
Didn't get the book from you today...now what do I read tonight??
ReplyDeleteI gotta be honest my friend you lost me when you said Turkey Bacon, although we eat Turkey Sausage.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you got a great deal on the washer and dryer. We bought a really nice front loader last year for Black Friday with the steam option. Love the idea of not having to iron. I think we paid 1k last year for that set.
Im glad your doing well. This past week Ive been so sick with some cold that wont go away. And on top of that I have made everyone sick in my house. Including our visitor Peter!
Your belly looks super cute! Love you!
Yeah! You look sooo good and healthy. Hard to believe you're more than half way there. Did they say how much the baby weighs? I like your bathroom, by the way. :) See the jewelry holder - you need some more Lia Sophia! And like the little cabinets above your toiley. Chip off the block you are. So glad you didn't cut your hair. Anyways, I'm rambling, but it is so good to see you and I can't wait to get there and just hold you. My beautiful baby girl is all grown up.
ReplyDeleteLove, me
Anna - I am going to get off the couch and put it in my bag RIGHT NOW (after I write this comment).
ReplyDeleteKristin - don't knock it till you try it...just get the thin sliced kind :)
Mom - I will gladly take more jewelry, but I don't wear a ton, it will just get broken at work and when I'm not working I rarely dress up.
