Jesse and I got the majority of our Christmas shopping done :) It's nice to have that responsibility off of our shoulders when it's not even December. Speaking of it not being December, what is with this weather?! It is SO warm out (65 degrees) and it's the end of November. This is either a good sign, or a bad sign and I'm placing my bets on bad. I remember last year having snow piles in parking lots in June. I bet that'll happen again. There's all this talk of global warming. Whether it's true or not my theory is that seasons are shifting. Instead of winter (snow) being November through early March I think it's more December through April or even May...but I'm not super smart nor up on science and global issues so don't take my opinion to the bank.
My newest pet peeve is people who pronounce Aaron and Erin differently and think that when I say my own name it is the Aaron version. Clearly I'm a female and the female version of the spelling is Erin. Grr. I encountered the second instance of this within two days this evening at CVS. I had to pick up an antibiotic and I gave my name to the clerk. Apparently when he looked on the computer for my prescription he search Aaron and had to come back to ask how it was spelled. When I spelled it he then corrected ME on the pronunciation.
In other news - I have cellulitis. Yep. Jesse and I keep coming up with other names to call it like Clap of the Calf and Syph Shin. I almost didn't go to the doctor and had myself convinced that the ever growing spot on my leg was nothing until I went to the nurse at my school today. She took one look and said I should call my doctor. Now I have to take antibiotics 4 times a day for a week. Joy.
In bigger news! Our crib was purchased by the in laws and put together this weekend :) it's a nice sight in the ever changing nursery.
We have the same pet peeve! Only with me it is the fact that noone pronounces Aeryn's name correctly. It is pronounced the same is Erin, or Aaron. It is however an old Gaelic spelling that means "peace". Everyone pronounces it Aryan. No my nine year old is not part of the Aryan nation. Her name is Aeryn Hope, she is the child that brought both Peace and Hope to my life in a time when I had none. Congrats on the crib. I know the feeling of walking into the nursery and seeing it sitting there.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the cause of that cellutis thing? Does it hurt?
ReplyDeleteLove the crib though! and the set that you are using on the bed. Did you guys go shopping on black friday for your christmas shopping? Can't believe it's already heading to December....
Trying to get back in to work mode after too many consecutive days off. Never liked how you needed a vacation after a vacation.
