More hats!
Made another hat for BBB. This one is SOOOO cute, has a little round ball on the top. Arthur loved it. This baby will have more hats than anyone.
Counting the days left at work. Oh, are there really so many? Mind, we need the moulah. We got the crib for the little critter on Sunday, so at least he has a place to sleep. I also got some pacifiers, baby shower gel, baby nail clippers. We had gotten the baby bath a couple of weeks ago. So now the baby has a place to sleep, a place to bath and a place to rock (courtesy of the baby rocker my parents got me). OK, shopping for this stuff is fun!
Being pregnant in the last weeks of pregnancy - less fun: hip pains, huge belly, can't turn around in bed, blues and lots of other woes. Oh and stretch marks. :( Booo hooooo!

They're out in full force!
The TTC weirdos! Yesterday I felt very sick so I left work early. Well, on the Steeles bus a lady got on, a few stops after me. Now, I've seen her before and I know that there's a syndrome with her name on it, but yesterday it was just rampant. She sat down and would not let anyone else sit beside her by actually stopping them with her hand. There was a Chinese gentleman sitting two seats away from her, reading a Chinese real estate brochure. She grabbed it out of his hands and started to look at it. He says, smiling, "How can you read this, it's Chinese!" She ignored him for a while, then tossed the brochure back at him. Then a lady across the aisle took out a bottle of make-up and started to show it to her friend. Well, this slightly different but yet so interesting woman stretched her hand out to take the bottle from the lady! "Can I see?" she asked. Um, NO! Then she began gazing at me. Well, I was very close to throwing up as it is and must have given that impression because she left me alone. I made sure I got on a different subway car from her.
Geez! I think maybe these people travel outside of rush hours. Mind you, in rush hour you can still see a bunch of weird stuff.
Am working on 2nd baby hat and it's half done. Yay! I am knitting this one. Way faster than crocheting. We got the baby crib and mattress on the weekend. I can't believe there's only six weeks to go! Blows my mind.
On the minus side, I got new stretchmarks on my tummy. Sigh. What we won't do for the future generation!

I know, I know, it's been a while
But my silence as of late can be explained by my new desk at Evil. This is situated right across from a director who has a clear uninterrupted view of my screen. Yuck.
Went to a lovely stich and bitch at Glacia's. Had to leave early because I was exhausted, but still, had lots of fun. She and Mitzi walked me to the bus stop, which was lovely.
Evil held a breakfast yesterday morning for the Dev group, of which tech writers are part. It was pretty BORING! The food was good though. They made us play these silly games where we had to discover relationships between members of our groups. For example, find a person who has a relative with the same name as your relative. Eh? We drew a blank on that one. Or see who has the most legs in your houes. What? Needless to say, my team did not win.
One month to go to mat leave. Wooohooo! I will be shot of this place for at least a few months. That is certainly something to look forward to.

Giant baby
I not only finished the baby jacket, I finished the hat too! I followed the directions to the letter and the hat turned out enormous! I don't think he'll be wearing it at least until he's fifteen. And then a blue and yellow hat might not be to his taste. :) I don't have the strength to take it apart though. My mom said she'd do it. I have some yarn left over so I decided to make another (smaller) hat out of that.
Weekend was pretty uneventful. I watched Jeopardy last night to see what the fuss was about with that little genius Ken. Well, he's pretty fast, but most of the questions I got as well. His skill might be in not answering questions where he doesn't know the answer, but I need to watch a little more to be able to tell. The other two participants were left far, far behind though normally they would not have done badly. Perhaps now it's some sort of psychosis - they all know he's good and are subconsciously conforming to that.

We are so lucky
...in this city weather wise. I know a lot of people have been complaining about the coolness of the summer this year. Personally, I have loved the cooler weather. But at least we have no hurricanes! I just read what some people on my Lone Writers List are doing to get ready for Frances hitting land. It's all so far removed from us here in Toronto, but these people have to stack up on water, food, batteries, medications, supplies for their pets. And I guess worst of all they have to face the possibility that they will have to leave their homes and these homes may not still be there when they come back. It really puts things in a perspective. Give me cool summers any day! I don't have to stuff my most important posessions into one bag and look for a shelter and wonder if everything I own was just wiped out. We were so unprepared for the blackout last year. We barely survived one day with no power and we still had water. My heart goes out to people in Florida and the Carolinas. Hurricane Frances, go away!

On married life...
I just love being married. OK, love being married to Arthur. He's such a great guy. He's so hardworking too. If I were at home most of the time, I'd most likely just veg watching TV, but he re-works his websites and does his laundry and washes the kitchen floor. He even moved the fridge to clean under there. OK, I know this is getting boring, but I adore my husband. :)
Well, it turns out that I put on a slutty outfit today completely unconsciously. Both my pants and shirt are see-through. Anyone who wants to look, can find out easily what colour underwear I'm wearing. So, today I'm a prego who's coquetting everyone with the view of her sports bra. If at least I had thought to wear a sexy bra!
