Lovely Little Shelf

1. The creepy thing about snow? I just looked out in the backyard and there are clear footprints that just march straight across the backyard. I know that they are not from anyone in my family or my neighbor (he’s super old and no way could he walk in snow) so it creeps me out a little bit to know that someone was tromping through the back yard…

2. We’re kind of having sick/tired/whiney day here today. Bleh. Longest frigging week ever and I’m so, so glad that it’s almost over. AND as and added bonus, my parents are coming to visit this weekend! I know what you’re thinking- and you’re right. My mom was just here last week, but my step-dad couldn’t make it then and they have some Christmas presents we couldn’t fit in our car that they’re delivering and… wait? Why am I making excuses? Having my parents visit is awesome and I’m way excited.

3. I have been having serious problems sleeping. I fall asleep fine, but probably 4 nights a week, I wake up in the middle of the night and am awake for HOURS. It is making me permanently exhausted. You should see the bags under my eyes. It’s unreal. Add that to the great zits perched on my cheek and the fact that I’m getting chubby from being pregnant but not looking seriously pregnant yet… it’s bad news, folks. Bad news. The sleep, the look, the whole deal.

4. Oh! Incredibly amazing news! I got a new phone! I have been using this old, busted, second hand phone for so long that I forgot how awesome having a new phone is!! I got the brand spanking new iPhone 4S and I’m totally obsessed. It just… works. When I push buttons, things happen. This was not true with my previous phone, so it is quite the treat. Also, I’m addicted to the game Temple Run. It’s so stupid but I’m in love.

5. I started my newest Presidential Challenge book today! Millard Fillmore, I’m going to know everything about you.
