Howdy Humble Readers...
I hope you've all had a good week. Things around the hobbit-hole have been pretty quiet. Honestly not much going on worth talking about, and my brain is mushy with tiredness and pregnancy-brain.

I've been fixated on those really yummy Mil.ano cookies (the mint ones of course) and I've been trying not to think too much about them. I used to buy them for special occassions when I was in college, but I haven't had any in years and years. The kicker is, I can't get them around here. I don't know for sure if you can even get them at all above the 49th parallel. I know I shouldn't have them anyway (wretched GD), but dammit, I can't stop thinking about them. If you are in Canada, and know where I can get some, PLEASE tell me... I promise I'll be good. I won't get any until the middle of May. I promise!

I haven't heard from Dell at all since the initial calls on Tuesday morning. I still haven't loaded anything on this computer since Monday night. It's really annoying. There is a little part of me that's hoping that they'll just let me keep this computer, but I doubt that will happen. I'm just frustrated that I still haven't heard a damn thing.

I had an appointment this morning with Dr. W. It was exceptionally short. Pee in a cup, check the bp (was totally fine, no change in my meds... doc said not to worry about swelling unless it's accompanied by other pre-e symptoms), check the weight (got a finger wagging), quick glance at him/her on Dr. W's ultrasound... enough to find out that the Halfling is breech. That's right, what I've been thinking was the Halfling's hiney under my ribs is actually his/her little head. It doesn't really matter, as we are going c-section for sure anyway.
The one thing that she mentioned during the appointment, that I didn't really think much of at the time, but now I'm wondering... she mentioned that she's going to send me for a consult with the anesthesiologist. The last time I had to do that was when I went under general anesthetic for my hysteroscopy (polypecotomy and D&C). I'm wondering if this is just precautionary, or if she's planning on me being completely out for the c-section. I hope it's just the former. I WILL be asking at my next appointment.

My Beloved lost an aunt this week. She was 85, I think. We've been so focussed on my Grandma (she appears to be doing better... and I'm very thankful for that, for so many reasons, not the least of which is that my parents are scheduled to leave for their 25th anniversary cruise in 5 days), that we totally didn't see this coming. He wasn't particularly close with her, but still, it's jarring to say the least. We're still debating if he will go to the funeral or not on Monday.

I'm trying to come up with some really groovy, unifying theme for my posts for the A to Z challenge. Food? Fictional characters I relate to? Pet peeves? Books I want to read? Places I want to travel? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Lameness 'R' Us
Hey Humble Readers...
I'm sorry that I haven't been around the last few days. I've hit a big a$$ wall of BLAH and have been really unmotivated. My plan is to go to bed kind of early tonight and hopefully when I get up in the morning I will have some sense of direction.
I know that part of it is that my Beloved is away. I really have been dreading this. I know I'm pathetic, and that many of you live without your beloved ones on a regular basis because of work or military responsibilities. As much as I want him to do this whole Jeopardy thing, and have fun, damn it I hate that he's not here. He hasn't even been gone 12 hours yet, and I miss him like crazy. Told you I'm a wuss. *** He just called and is in Pheonix, waiting for his connection to Salt Lake. His flight from Calgary to Pheonix was full of Calgary Flames fans who were heading to the hockey game there tonight. Included among the Flames fans... my Beloved's former boss (ick!) and Paul Brandt (OMG... PAUL BRANDT?!?!... he's 99.9% certain it was him). ***
There have been a few things kind of weighing on me this week, and I don't want to whine about them here, at least not right now. I'm just struggling to feel chipper and talkative. I hope you'll forgive me.
In other, way more interesting news, Ginny is doing her darnedest to try to sit up! Not from a complete laying-down position, but when I have her sort of reclined on pillows (about a 45 degree angle) she is working those abdominal muscles and she gets really frustrated when it doesn't get her anywhere. She's also doing well with her tummy time, really working on pushing herself up.
I think, if I can get my a$$ in gear tomorrow, I might start my spring cleaning. Our closets need a good going through, and I noticed a few unruly dust bunnies that need corralling.
According to the weather network, we might actually be seeing the end of winter soon. Tomorrow is supposed to be yucky and snowy, but it's warming up and by Sunday we will be on the plus side of freezing. Of course, it's probably going to take a month for all the snow to melt, but at least I might be able to go outside for more than a few minutes at a time.
And in a trifecta of kitchen upsets... this week our hot air popcorn popper died, my salt mill bit the dust, and the handle on the lid to my cast iron pot fell off. At least it's three things, so nothing else can fall apart, right?
