Weekend Review

I recently read The Little Black Book of Style and it was something completely different than what I’d usually read. It’s for people who care about being “fashionable” as opposed to “comfortable” and that’s just not me, but it was still an interesting read. For a young person going in to the world of fashion design or advertising, it would likely be a big hit. For me, it was okay. The “How to dress when…” section was interesting, but one part really pissed me off. The “How To Dress When Pregnant” section seemed like it was written by and/or for a fourteen year old who didn’t want anyone to know she was pregnant. It instructs women to wear lots of jewelery (which, of course, the guy needs to buy for you…barf) to detract attention from the belly. That part really ruined the book for me, but I can certainly see a population that would enjoy it. Want my copy? Leave a comment and let me know.

Weekend Recap

It was a busy one! I had a conference to attend and lots of shopping to do with my parents in another city on Saturday. The boy hasn’t really slept well all week because of the damn teeth again so we were excited to be able to get him to sleep via rocking last night before 7:30. (He usually falls asleep on his own between 6:30 and 7:00 and has needed rocking until 11:00 to pass out this week.) He woke up at 6:30 this morning with a fever so I gave him some medicine and brought him to bed with us where he snuggled and slathered us both with kisses. It was awesome! Now it’s 8:15 and he’s still screaming so it might be another rough one. Cross your fingers for at least 6 hours for the big fat 29 weeks pregnant chick or I’ll be too cranky for words.

If you’re swapping, you should have received the email with your partner’s info. If you didn’t then please let me know asap!

Our basement is getting emptied and drywalled this week so our servers will be shut down and I may or may not have internet access. I can’t blog from work because anything fun is blocked so if you don’t hear from me for a week you’ll know why!
