Ratatouille!

Went to go see Ratatouille (sp?) today with some friends. It was really cute! The show started at 10:45 am, and no one in the house set an alarm... I don't know why... so I woke up when my friend called at 10:30 asking where we were... It's a good thing we only live about 5 min from the theater. Had enough time to brush my teeth and grab some yogurt before we drove off. We only missed the first little bit of the pre-movie short (which also looked pretty funny....)


Yesterday, we put our doors back on upstairs. When we had our carpet installed back in may, we had to take off all the doors (including closet doors) in any where that the carpet would be going through. now 2 months later, we decided to put them back up and they look really good :). We switched out the doorknobs. They had those shiney brass ones that were popular when the house was built in the mid 90's (same as my parents have) which isn't bad, but we prefer the brushed nickel look. The old ones were also pretty low end when they were put in, so they were all scratched up and some were loose. It looks nice now with the new ones, though, and probably some of the old knobs are in better condition than a few at my parents house, so you guys are welcome to them. :)


We still have some boxes left to unpack... quite a few, actually... But we'll get there. One of these weekends, Mom has said that she'd make it over here and help us finish the unpacking. She's good at that kind of stuff, so I'm looking forward to her making it over here. We've also got a little bit of painting left... One wall that Suke started writing her name on and we never finished (hah!) and then some touch ups downstairs, and a second coat on the wall that leads up the stairs. Plus there's the kitchen that we have to paint, too... It'll be totally fun when we actually get around to it. It'd probably help if we both had a day off together some time...


Everything pregnancy related is going fine. I've started to get heartburn, which I've really never had... but it's usually avoidable if I don't eat pizza and stuff like that, and if I do, then tums will normally help... or a glass of milk... mmm.... I can also feel that I'm pregnant, now. When I lay down on my stomach, it feels like I'm laying on top of a lump or something, so I generally avoid that. Don't want to smash the baby and end up with a flat child... haha....

  1. if worse comes to worse I have a pack of creamy tums in my work bag that I have no need for now that I'm not pregnant (YAY! NOT PREGNANT!)

    also, I was afraid of Squishing Katie when I was preggo, but found that most of the time the most comfortable way to lay was on my tummy (for some reason) at least until I got real big.

    btw if you need it, you can borrow my pregnancy pillow. I loved it. it's so great to cuddle with.

  2. Just don't lie flat on your back because that compresses some vein or other that supplies oxygen and stuff to the baby. Reclining is okay.

    Love you!

  3. We usually paint before we move into a new place. It seems that whatever painting doesn't get done then just doesn't get done. In the first house we bought, that meant that one of our rooms half-painted for pretty much the entire time we were there.

    I don't think you should be painting right now, though.

  4. Meryl: mmmm... creamy tums... I might take you up on that pillow. I'm not sure... I want to put the feather bed back on our bed and see if it's more comfortable b/c now I just wake up sore.

    Mom: Doesn't the artery only get blocked when the baby is big enough to actually compress it when you lay flat?

    Berserk: I'll tell Frik you said no painting (woo hoo! That means HE has to do it). Although, if it's latex paint, it's supposed to be fine.

  5. Tell him you're allergic to latex.

  6. Yeah, pretty much. But for most women, that's about 5-6 months, which is when lying flat on your back is too uncomfortable anyway.

    Love you!
