Winter Wonderland
SNOWY! This day has been so snowy
I love it. I woke up kinda early (ish) and saw my esthetician…who I think is pregnant. Don’t you hate that? When you’re not sure if someone is pregnant or not, and it’s OBVIOUS they have a cute little pregnant belly but they haven’t said anything, and the only question you can think to ask is something like, “So. How’s being pregnant?” Maybe you are smoother than me. So I didn’t say anything…I just tried to check her out whenever she walked away. Which I’m sure made me look like some kind of freak- peering over the table whenever she left me there, craning my neck to try and see. Haha. Then, just as I was paying, she came out and put her hand on her belly. YES. Pregnant. I LOVE talking about people being pregnant. I should’ve asked. But whatever. Maybe it’s like being blonde, or Mormon. Sure, most people know, but do you have to talk about it ALL THE TIME? I realised that she’s probably been pregnant the whole time I’ve known her. I first saw her for my face before the wedding. I would go to her for facials and for other little girl necessities, and I immediately felt comfortable around her. Congratulations her.
After that I came home John and I lounged around a bit and just talked. It was nice- I love those days when it seems like we just laugh and talk and learn secrets about each other. I had to bribe him with one of my secrets to get a specific one out of him. But in the end, I think we BOTH knew a bit more about each other. It’s fun to know each other so well, and still have things we’ve never talked about before. I love having this other person in my life, full of his own preferences and experiences and stories.
After that we ran to the grocery store before we got snowed in. When we came home I cleaned a bit while John tried to do some writing. I feel bad that I’ve distracted him so badly all week being sick- but I think he’s gotten a few things done. It took me FOREVER to clean our house today, though. I didn’t do it my usual “order,” so that’s probably why. But it is done- all except the laundry…that is. Still working that out.
I just finished my lesson for the kids at church tomorrow- and now we’re going to cook some yummy dinner. THEN it’s paper time!! Yessss……

Funnily enough- I DID create a little nest for myself this weekend. I’ve got SO much school work to do before finals (it’s not even funny) and I made a pile of blankets on the floor between my couch and my coffee table to keep me warm while typing away. I made sure to open the blinds first, though, so I could look out and see the snow. I love winter!

“Nesting” usually refers to a stage in pregnancy…So Erin are you Pregnant?
