We're Just Racing Time...Where's the Finish Line?

 

Hello, little crib! We're so glad that you're here in our bedroom and illuminated by the fancy lighting Caleb put in today. We're so happy you're being tested by all of the friends; we know Jack will be safe. And finally, we're so thrilled that we are able to have enough funds to get everything we need for the baby, especially you.

Last night, Caleb and I were able to visit our wonderful friends Joe and Whitney. It's always an adventure to see them, and we always learn a lot of interesting things about life (including a trick where one picks up a book anywhere he is and just starts reading - I'm sure that widens your horizons really fast!). 

Something that Whitney and I were talking about is making every day special. She was telling me that a blogger that she reads, who now is in pretty bad shape after an accident, was able to do that. We were both inspired by that, but I don't think Whitney expected me to be so inspired that I'd challenge her to do actually do it! So, here it is, I'm publicly calling Whitney out (though I've already done it in the privacy of her own home) - she and I are going to make every day special for a week, starting Monday, December 1st. I don't really have any particular plans for how to do this, but I really want to start finding joy in everyday life.

I've been a productive little bee today - did some homework, found a few screws for Caleb's lighting project, helped with the laundry, finished and gathered all of the Christmas presents going to Houston, found my Nat King Cole Christmas CD and listened the heck out of it, made a fancy new Gnocchi recipe (gnocchi=good, the recipe=meh) - and the night is still young. Booyah, world! Just because I feel like I can't breathe (thanks to a certain little someone making my guts out of whack and me fat) doesn't mean that I can't keep it real on a Saturday!
