One Last Post

Happy New Year! Unfortunately, this is the only baby you'll be seeing around these parts tonight. I'm  99.9% sure I'm going to cap off 2011 still pregnant and just 6 days shy of my due date. I'm not grossly uncomfortable, but I have resorted to a sloth-like state. E has a snowboarding trip at school this week, and he has promised me a trip to the Cheesecake Factory if we make it to my due date on Thursday.

I am not opposed to bribery. I can only hope my offspring feels the same. 

Plus it's not too bad doing nothing all day! And making plans for no farther than 24 hours in advance. So far today I've slept in, re-discovered Minesweeper on my iPhone (a horrible, horrible game), watched How I Met Your Mother and an episode of One Born Every Minute (there are some screaming crazy pregnant ladies on that show) and spent some quality time with my new toy:

Yup, I bought myself a Kindle Touch last week. It only took three days of indecision. I've got leftover Amazon gift card money to buy books with it, so expect those in about three more indecisive weeks.

I also ate some sandwiches. The urge to cook has left me. As has the urge to wear real-people jeans and put on makeup. It's a shame I don't go out more actually.

Some highlights of this year:

- A promotion - yay!

- Going on my first real business trip and not dying.

- Trips to New York.

- Expanding my watch collection with no shame.

- A long and leisurely vacation to Alaska. I miss the waffles. 

- A great Thanksgiving spent with family and friends.

- And of course, baking a baby.

I can only imagine the craziness next year will bring. Or perhaps next week?
