let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

yes! let it snow! it's so beautiful and i've been dreaming of a white christmas! ok, ok. so i wouldn't be nearly as excited about all this white stuff if i had to, say, drive to work or go christmas shopping. but lucky for me, i've got the weekend off and thanks to the internet, a visit to the mall is not in my future (which makes me happy no matter what the weather is)!

sitting here in my warm and cozy home i am so content with cats meowing at my feet, tea on the stove and a dateline murder mystery on the television. ahhh, tis the season. can't wait to see all the members of both sides of our family over the holidays; lot's of laughing and happiness, home cooking and relaxing. have i mentioned that i love this season?

riding my winter sleigh into the third trimester of my pregnancy (officially in my 28th week now and starting the home stretch), i have had no time to do any decorating around here. i've barely had time even to keep up on the dishes! tony and i do what we can, but with times being tight we've been trying to work a little extra here and there. i still feel great (except for the heartburn!!! this kid better be a hairy ape for all the suffering i'm doing!) and am almost feeling a little sad about having to share her with other people in a few months. but all the happiness she will bring is worth it and though i'll miss feeling all these kicks in belly, by week 38 i'll probably be begging for an induction.
