Operation Birthday Re-Do

From my last post, it's safe to say my birthday didn't totally rock...sitting in a three hour traffic jam in a snowstorm wasn't my idea of fun...but Jason promised he'd make it up to me. So, last night we DID go out to eat and as you can see "Operation Birthday Re-Do" continues today. Thanks for making me this awesome cake, Jason!!! Can't wait to eat some :-)

My Birthday, in a nutshell, kinda sucked

Here are the things that didn't suck about my birthday.
1. I didn't die. That's good!
2. I had Honey Nut Cheerios for breakfast.
3. Jason made arrangements to (I asked in a sweet voice- I mean, email- if he would) metro over to my work from his work to drive my pregnant birthday ass home and he did it! (yeah it took over 3 hours to complete the journey and we didn't go out to eat or have any cake or ice cream- but we got home safe- and ate pancakes - really late.)
4. Jason's Birthday Card Blog. Oh my goodness, I love that man.
5. Mom and Dad's gift.
6. Godiva Pearls Milk Chocolates
7. Pancakes - homemade ones
8. Jason's gifts, which I realize now should be WAY higher on this list but I was savoring the moment to tell you he got me a Kindle!! That's right, maternity leave, the summer off and a freaking Kindle. I know you are jealous. (This should have been #1 on the list, darnit.) Well, maybe after "I didn't die" cause that's pretty big. So consider this #2. Also, it's empty, so I'm taking book suggestions.
9. My iPhone. Best used surfing FB and twitter and texting friends while stuck in hours of traffic.
10. All the super FB birthday wishes from everyone.
11. Leia. Our greyhound. Or should I say "Keeper of the Golden Bladder". Somehow she didn't have an accident in the house. Nope. She waited for us by the door.

12. My bladder. Somehow I made it home without having an accident either!

13. The fact that it ONLY took a little over 3 hours on the road seems like we made good time. Others were stuck for 4-12 hours so I feel lucky.

Progress

Over the weekend I cleaned out my closet and created a giant mess. Let's just say I'm glad we have two bathrooms, cause I made a pile so big you couldn't get to the bathroom that's connected to our closet area. Ooops. Sorry Jason. He didn't really mind - he just walked out of our room and said to me "you got something goin' in there? Did you just pull it all out? What stage are you at?" To that I replied, "that giant pile is going to goodwill." And I saw him sigh in relief.

See, in order to clean out our second bedroom/craft room/book nook/office/music room - for our upcoming arrival...I first had to re-do my own closet in the hopes to make room for some of that stuff. I think it's gonna work. I cleared an entire shelf, which to me means progress.

In the process of moving things around in our simple two bedroom condo - I'm so glad we decided to put the desk in storage and keep the bookshelves. To me the desk was only holding books anyway and it wasn't really serving the purpose we got it for. At least not since Jason got a laptop. He sit's at the kitchen table now to read your blogs and comment on your Facebook status. He doesn't sit at a silly desk! :)

Anyway next up, save the MUSIC. I'm still trying to figure out a way to keep our Cds in house.

Glass of Milk.

I never order a tall glass of milk for breakfast. But, here I am.

See you this summer!

Coming soon, a baby boy. Arrival scheduled for late May. All looks good so far :-)
