on my mind

Good Morning. A few things this morning that are fresh on my mind...


i told her

*My oven is broken. And all my meals for the week fall in the category of crockpot or stovetop cooking. It makes for an interesting menu. I may even try my hand at some crockpot dessert if I get really adventurous.

*Mary has a tooth that is practically hanging out of her mouth. And love her as much as I do, she's a total wimp about this kind of thing. At this point, I could probably blow on the tooth and knock it out. Or maybe if she just had a good sneeze? Much drama is taking place because of this tooth. It is requiring several extra doses of parental patience.

*I am seriously in love with Andrea's idea of a year of (weekly) lists. It has me thinking....

*This site has sucked me in to page after page after page. I would like to whitewash my whole house.

*I got an email this weekend that said, "70 days until your due date!" It made my heart skip a beat. This pregnancy is moving along at lightning speed.

*I really, really want to knit a super chunky blanket, something like this one in Martha's photostream. But sometimes I think I'm kidding myself. I've barely knit five inches on the baby sweater I started at the beginning of winter. A blanket? Seriously, molly.  

this is not what i had in mind

*Elizabeth was out in her socks this morning. I told her to put some shoes on. That was not what I had in mind.

Another really, really good giveaway coming up this week.

And we have blue sky and sun. 

Happy Monday, friends.
