Grace in Small Things, November 11, 2011

Hi Everyone! Sorry for not posting yesterday...have been in a little bit of a funk, which is usually due to working too much (although I haven't worked much this week) and/or feeling sick (which is pretty constant these days, so not sure why I've been down the past few days in particular).

Anyway, what better time to take a look at what's good in my life, right? And so:

1) Minutes after I posted my list of baby stuff on Wednesday, my BFF called and told me I'm not going to be buying any of this stuff...that there is going to a baby shower and my friends will buy things for me (my friend Julie pointed this out too). Thanks girls! So excited about a baby shower! Makes me feel so loved! :)

2) My mom took me to see The Art of Flight the other night (the image above is a still from the trailer)...was screening at our little local college. It's a snowboarding movie where these guys essentially fly/helicopter into these remote places and snowboard sick terrain. Love watching this kind of thing. That's me in another life. And actually, now that I think about it, maybe part of why I've been down is I'm feeling sad about not snowboarding this year. I would 10,000 times rather be pregnant than have this snowboarding season, but it's not an either/or situation, right? I can be happy to be pregnant and still be sad I don't get to get outside. (I'm feeling especially sorry for myself because I missed last season due to a pregnancy [which ended in miscarriage] too. But two seasons for two babies is fair, right?)

3) My dad just got an iPhone and has taken to texting. He's out of state at a poker tournament and has been keeping me abreast of his progress. Fun...

4) Not working this weekend for the first time in forever (well, it's only been 3 weeks, but it feels like forever)

5) French cheesecake...which is lighter and airier than regular cheesecake. Have you all ever had it? Soooooo yummy...

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Thanks for spending some time here this week.

XOXO
