Making Lists: Updating my Target and Amazon baby registries.  I think they are now complete, or at least complete enough for people to shop from them.  Things are duplicated between the lists, but I figure once something is bought from either, I can delete the duplicate (or similar item from the other site).  And anyway most people get gift receipts or Amazon does returns.  J informed me this morning that he bought a mobile, so I deleted those as well.  Thankfully I didn't actually have to go into a store to do the registries.  Amazon's is absolutely amazing and easy.  While Target's is a bit of a pain, I knew what I wanted so that made it move quicker.  They could definitely use an update in the process...

Around the house: There was no major water damage from the leak emanating from the upstair neighbor's bathroom.  The maintenance guy sanded everything down and applied some drywall.  Now he just needs to come back to repaint and retexture and everything should be good to go.  Thankful it wasn't a bigger problem than that.

On the Job: In one word: frustrating!  I'm really looking forward to this being done, but not looking forward to the decrease in income.

From the kitchen: I tried two new recipes this week.  I made a variation of my usual chili.  This time I added an entire jar of jalapeños, adobo chilis, and cayenne pepper.  The result was a smokey spicy chili that we both enjoyed.  I will have to add this version to my usual mix of recipes.  I also tried a honey mustard chicken recipe from Rachael Ray.  It was decent, but the flavor wasn't very strong.  I think we will try this one again sometime.

Crafting: Nothing this week, but I have big plans for next week.  I received my Stampin' Up order, so I'm all set to make baby thank you and arrival cards.  I want to play around with a few ideas.  Once I settle on a design (or a few), I want to make a batch so I'm ready when Arthur decides to make an appearance.  I'll post some pics of the possibles...

Watching: This past week was the Bout of Books readathon, so I limited my tv watching.  I am still slowly making my way through S10 of Smallville (halfway done!).  J and I are watching an episode or two of Monk in the evening before bed.  It always him to work and me to write or peruse blog posts.  We also rewatched Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz in preparation for going to see The World's End on Friday.  While I think The World's End is the least funny of the three, it's still a great movie, part homage to Shaun and Hot Fuzz and part homage to science fiction movies.  We will definitely buy this one when it comes out on dvd.  Plus, I loved all the little references here and there.  Someone (possibly from i09 or The Nerdist) wrote that with each viewing of Shaun and Hot, they notice some other little reference or joke.  It's completely true.  I can't wait to rewatch The World's End to catch even more than I did upon one viewing.

Pregnancy Update: I had my 32 week appointment.  The usual 10 minute, in and out affair. Even the doctor commented that at this point, the appointments are pretty boring.  I don't really have any questions.  He doesn't really have any concerns.  We are just sitting and waiting until the baby decides to make an appearance.  Plus, we made my 36 and 38 week appoints and reaffirmed my birth plan.

From Nature: The temperatures have been beautiful lately, but I am constantly hot.  This kid is making me run hot all the time.  No fun!  Thankfully we have a pool.  Swimming makes everything feel better and keeps me fairly cool during the hot parts of the day.
