Here's a quick update to make up for my lack of posting recently. I haven't been doing anything very exciting, and nothing really noteworthy has happened to me either.

I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of weeks since I got back from Austin reading books. I finished Ken Follett's 1000+ page World Without End, and enjoyed it greatly. ( Read more... )

Most of this post is taken from comments I made on a post by onefishclappin earlier today (it's locked, so many of you probably can't see it). But I feel like I ought to post and expand upon them here, since this is MY journal, and I'll actually have a record of how Corwin was doing and my thoughts about it if I need it down the road ( Read more... )

I have successfully downloaded the form to submit expenses to our Flexible Spending Account for reimbursement, and sorted through all our receipts and EOBs and gotten that all filled out and photocopied and squared away. Just need to take it all to the post office tomorrow to be mailed ( Read more... )

My copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows arrived this morning.

And now, I shall read it...until such time as my son next demands my attention. :)

I had my 38 week appointment this week. Believe me, it was not exciting. No change from last week on the dilation/effacement front. My blood pressure was still good, urine test was fine, baby's heartbeat was "in the 130s" so still normal.

I have been reading like a mad fiend for the last couple of days.

Today is Andrew's first day at his new job. I don't know what kind of Internet access he has at work, so no telling if he'll be able to check lj, talk to me on ICQ, or whatever. So far, he's not been online, though I have had an email from him with his new phone number and email address. So...here's hoping he has a good day ( Read more... )

I had a good night last night ( Read more... )

Amazon.com Recommendations
I was futzing around with Amazon.com's recommendations a bit ago (ostensibly checking for things to order for the library), and was amused to find that based on my reading and musical choices, they think I need to eat more salad!

Since I like Garbage's Bleed Like Me and have the novel Time Traveller's Wife on my wishlist ( Read more... )

This ended up being another busy weekend.
