Almost Ready

Yesterday was a good day. Most days are really pretty good if you look at them objectively, I notice. But sunshine and unicorns aside, yesterday was particularly good. I am not sure why. I did get to go to The Corner Office for lunch. It was admin professionals' day and a big group of us went there. Such good people. They're a lot of the reason I like work. Got a lot accomplished at work too … picayune things to finish up before I go on leave. I was late to pick up Tabby because I went home before going to the sitter's house to put the final coat of varnish on the drawers and somewhere in the mayhem, Matt spilled a quart of varnish on our carpet. Oops. Luckily we have a carpet cleaner in-house (dog+kids+oatmeal carpet) and I think we saved the carpet … if not, that's why we have home owner's insurance and our carpet NEEDS replacing (dog+kids+oatmeal carpet). But when I picked Tabby up, she was in a super good mood and thrilled to see me. The feeling was mutual.

We took Mr. Loki to our friends' house where he will stay for the next few days. I got to missing him right away, even if he has a jingly collar that wakes Tabby up while she's napping and doesn't understand personal space very well. We had Wendy's for dinner because there is NO cooking going on at our house right now. We snuggled in bed and watched Little Einstein – we skipped the end, but I'm pretty confident about how it was going to turn out. We installed the new drawers and organized all of the clothes. It is always sad to see my favorite outfits in the “too small” pile. Though based on Tabby's growth patterns, we also made a pile of “maybe next winter too!” clothes. Tabby went to bed without a peep, finally wanting her daddy to read to her (she's been all about mommy lately). Matt and I were able to quickly pick up the main floor and then spend a couple of hours watching some back episodes of Bones on the Tivo … together … cuddled up in bed. That has not happened in weeks, maybe months.

So not absolutely everything on my maniacal to-do list will be accomplished by the time our sweet boy arrives, but who cares? I'm sure he won't. And today I am having donuts for breakfast and a pedicure for lunch. Yay. Then after a nap, we've got dinner plans with my family and I need to make a quick stop at Target for a few essentials and it's home for a good night's sleep before the excitement of tomorrow. This will probably be my last post before Baby Boy arrives and hopefully I'll be able to update you sometime tomorrow afternoon and maybe even share a couple of photos.
