Thought of the Day #1

For the next several days I will post one thought that resonates throughout the day for me... This is a test, to see if I can really and truly keep up with my blogging thoughts.

Today's thought: "Budgets"

A budget is really just your way of fooling yourself into believing that you are getting the best value for money within the constraint that you have set for yourself... the reality is, you are going to get what you want regardless of what your little budget piece of paper restricts you to getting, and it is likely to cost you more that what you initially believed it would.

As you guessed correctly, Daniel and I have been reviewing the costs for our upcoming Disney Vacation (and Vow Renewal/Wedding). And no, it isn't weighing heavily on my mind, but it did keep me up late tonight.

Off to bed, see you tomorrow.

Busy Being Pregnant?

Here's me at week 30... (I got an e-mail from babycenter.com to remind me how big I was getting and how much bigger I should expect.. good news is, my weight has stayed pretty much the same since day 1 and that means, baby is growing, but I am not adding any more to my fat storage, yay!).

You know... they say enjoy your pregnancy cuz it only lasts a little while. They also say be sure to be ready for the baby (as if you could be ready for any contingency). so what have I been doing? Beading. Not so much a contingency plan, but it keeps my mind busy when I am not reading blogs. So in it's best form it's a relaxing hobby and it tests not only your creativity, but your patience. I keep thinking, "how can i continue beading after the baby is born". Not all mommies to be (or mommies in general) enjoy beading... my sister decided to bake cookies (take a look at her blog - especially the article "accidental housewifery").

So I have made a bunch of items, just for fun... and a few that I have given as gifts. Here are a couple examples of my latest work.
