Don't look at the post time, k? I'll be complaining soon enough about having to be up at this time against my will! Finished up a set I started awhile back but got frustrated with. I am still not sure about this one, although I am happier since I simplified the layout. Baby shoes. Check it out.

Made a new set anyway!
Thought I would post this am since the kids are still sleeping - shhh - and I have been accused of having a life! The outrage!!! (wink @ Jenn.) LOL. The fact that I have nothing much to say should put those rumors to rest. I think I have gone into "waiting room" mode - you know - don't think too much about what you are waiting for or you start to go crazy? And I think it is getting pretty boring - baby this baby that. No new news. I am hyper-hoping the baby will flip to vertex position (not breech!) because I don't want a c-section. I am hoping that we can induce prior to June 1st (edd is June 2nd!) because our insurance is going to change, Yuck. I am thinking the mere mention of these things will banish me from belonging to this little blog community! lol. I have like 15 sets floating around in my mind, but don't have the time to work on them. I predict a major slow-down in set production after the bambino (-a?) and blogging will get pretty boring, too. All I see in my future is doctor appts. Oh Joy! I feel a good whine coming on - Boy, I need a dose of God's restful spirit this am - gonna go pray about it!

I can't really remember Friday, which I suspect was a rather boring day . . . oh yeah, it was! Dh was feeling left out of the whole new car thing, so I "let" him take it to work that day, leaving me stranded with his dad's F250 long bed. So rather than a) try to figure out how to haul my belly up into that thing and b) find parking places in the boonies and walk a mile, I decided to stay home. Think I cleaned the living room, or something mundane like that! LOL!

We had planned on a date, but all of our babysitters were otherwise occupied. So here comes Saturday afternoon and my ever-so-sweet neighbor Amy calls to see if we had our date, and offering to babysit for us! Yippee! So we left the kids at her house and went to dinner and a movie. Pretty mild evening, but a nice little vacation from the usual routine. First, we went to a restaurant called Tahoe Joe's. Disgustingly excellent food and service! Our steak was slow roasted over a wood fire then rolled in cracked pepper corns. I couldn't eat it all - no room in the tummy - but it sure was good! Topped it off with a shared piece of Nevada Cheesecake. I won't describe it - that would be mean. Suffice to say, this place is now tops on my list for awhile, along with Splash Cafe for their clam chowder.

Afterward, we went to see Spiderman. I know, there were other great movies to see, but that is what dh wanted to see. It was enjoyable but a little long. Not really a movie for the young children due to violence and grown up situations. (Although, surprisingly enough, there were plenty of 4 and 5 year olds on up at the 9:40 showing! ) The most enjoyable part was when Peter Parker was learning to use his new-found talents. Word to the wise - don't sit in the front rows if you get the least bit motion sick! Swooping up and down through the tall buildings - great cinematography but bad for the steak in me belly. I had to close my eyes a few times! (Kept it all in - for that price, I wasn't giving any up - LOL!) Needless to say, we were out until after midnight, so were the kids, and so today we just slept in until almost 10 am and missed church! oops.
