Three Things Thursday

Hello all! Yesterday's doc appointments went well. They took forever, (the glucose test and the RhoGAM shot), but I lived to tell the tale. Unfortunately, we had people over for dindin last night and since the appointments took so long I ran out of time to make anything. BOO!  So I ended up buying a frozen lasagna which was good, but there's nothing like making a meal for your guests. Word? Wahhh anyway, all is well that ends well because I think everyone had a good time!

Now on to Three Things Thursday.

1. I really really want a dot.mine planner. These planners are seriously THE BEST. There are three types: Life_time.mine, Family_time.mine, or just Time.mine. I had a time.mine planner in college and I have never been more mentally organized. The planners are so colorful and lovely and they have week/month views. AND they are inexpensive! (Who doesn't love a good deal!) With a babe on the way, I've decided I need to [wo]man up and get the family planner.

This is the one I want!

Look at some of the cute designs!

2. I think we've finally come up with The Name.

After much debate we may have finally settled upon the baby's name. Hurrah!!! Rejoice! It's not totally set in stone yet (and I guess won't be until the baby's birthday?), but we love it. I'm pretty sure Lulu was the one who threw out the name to start, and I kinda forgot about it until Joel the other day was like, "Hey remember when Lulu suggested [redacted name]?! I LIKE IT." and I was like, "Oh em goshhhh, Joel, I LOVE IT!" So that pretty much means it's been decided. It does lower my blood pressure considerably just knowing there a name we both really agree on. But you'll have to wait two and half more months (not that long ahhhh!) to find out ;)

3. This is what I did when I got home from work:

And now I have the will to live again. THANK GOODNESS FOR ORGANIZATION!

OK tomorrow is Friday, I've just eaten a corndog, and Real Housewives of DC is on in 20 minutes. Things are lookin' good my friends! Enjoy the evening!!

Three Things Thursday

So I was creeping paroozing around other blogs today and saw that a lot of bloggers are into something called "Three Things Thursday". From the looks of it you just share three rando things that are on your mind. Well OK, sounds easy enough!

1. The Real Housewives of D.C. makes me feel physically ill.... But you bet your assets I'll be tuning into Bravo tonight at 9 pm. 

On behalf of all Washington D.C. area natives, I'm so sorry.

I already know that RHODC is going to give us a bad name. I mean D.C. is pretty exciting (you know, being the Nation's Capital and all) but it's not like...reality t.v. exciting. You know? AND THAT'S OK, DC. Take pride in that! Hold your head high knowing it's probs a stretch for you to be flipping tables and calling people prostitution whores. I just hope the women this season don't embarrass themselves (oh wait- too late!) or the city too much.

But alas, I WILL be watching tonight. I feel it's my civic duty. Why? Because I enjoy giving myself ulcers for funsies, that's why. (And because I like all the montages of the city Bravo does between scenes.)

2. We just got a new mattress, and the THOUGHT of it makes me feel extremely refreshed!

So I have been complaining for awhile now that pregnancy plus an old mattress have made for many an uncomfortable night lately. Finally last weekend my sweet and loving husband took me over to Mattress Warehouse to test drive some mattresses (ew- not like that you sickos). Fun right? SO RIGHT. Any place where it's socially acceptable for you to lay down the SECOND you walk inside, is my kind of place.

We settled on a beautiful King size pillow top mattress...and it's being delivered AS WE SPEAK. This might be the highlight of my week. Nay, month. And I'm totally OK with that.

Funny sidebar about this Mattress Warehouse-- sometime late last year my husband and I were driving past the window of this store and as we passed he almost drove off the road. This was the convo that took should have taken place:

C: "What are you doing?!"
J: "Why is there a mattress wearing a thong in the window of Mattress Warehouse?"
C: "Ummm...Why is that the most profound question I've ever heard? And why aren't we turning around to investigate? WE MUST INVESTIGATE!!!"

So we turned around and drove into the parking lot. What we discovered was nothing short of amazing...

I am not above doing business with a thong wearing mattress.

Needless to say when the time came for us to get a new mattress, we knew just the place!

3. We are registering for the baby soon!!

I'll keep this one short and sweet....

I am excited/nervous to register for the baby! My brother-in-law and his wife sent us this lovely book to help us register:

Baby Bargains rocks!

I'm sure this book is old news for some moms, but for any moms-to-be out there you need a copy! It has mock registries and helps you decipher between what you WANT and NEED (an important concept that I'm still trying to master!) All I know is I've already found one item that I want AND need to be on our registry....

Ummm...you're welcome.

 Enjoy your Thursday, my friends! Tomorrow= Friday :)
