For Today, August 24th…

Outside my window… we are flowerless. Looks like my black thumb caught up to us. I did manage to keep them all alive for 3/4 of the summer, though, so I’m pretty happy about that!!

I am thinking… that it’s so nice to catch up with old friends.

I am thankful for… my sweet daughter and all of her hilarious qualities.

From the kitchen… not so fun. “They” have me carbo-loading for my stupid test on Thursday. Sounds like fun, although I don’t want to GAIN 5 pounds before they pull the rug out from me later on this week. Seriously, what IS the point anyway????!!!!

I am wearing… workout clothes from power strollerin’ with Ms. Megan this morning. WHEW, being 26 weeks pregnant and trying to briskly walk is not as easy as it sounds. Poor Megan, I’m afraid she didn’t get much of a workout as I was huffing and puffing next to her, trying to keep up!!

I am going… to a Cubs game with Vann and Charlie on Wednesday…so fun!!

I am reading… hmmm. Anyone have a suggestion for my 3 hour test on Thursday??

I am hoping… that everything comes together for Charlie’s birthday party this weekend!!

Around the house… it is joyfully filled with the sound of a little girl giggling and running around on her tiptoes.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Party prep! Favors are done (very proud of my inner Martha Stewart) and some loose ends need to be tied up, but we are mostly ready for her 2 year celebration. Can’t wait!!

Here is a picture I am sharing… a HILARIOUS shot from Sunday morning…
