So, things.
Aug. 23rd, 2014 03:58 pmI haven't posted in a while mainly because I haven't had a lot to post about. It's pretty much all baby and/or toddler all the time. I'll save that stuff for behind a cut in case you're really interested. In other news, life is fine. The Scientist is off at an auction with his dad and the kid is sleeping, so I finally have a few moments alone and can update. (Not that the Scientist would stop me. The kid definitely would.) Work is just plugging along slowly. My boss is reluctant to give me any major projects because I only have two months of work left this year before the baby comes and maternity leave kicks in. On the one hand, this is great because I'm not stuck working on the God-awful projects some of my coworkers are doing now. On the other hand, I'm doing the most tedious, dull jobs around. Oh well. It is what it is.
The house is slowly but surely getting into shape. There's been a lot of re-ordering the furniture upstairs and reorganizing everything. I feel as if there's still a ton to be done (there is), but I feel good knowing that the kids' room at least is in good condition.
We've started watching the BBC version of The Three Musketeers here and there. I'm pleasantly surprised by it. I've never read Dumas so I have no idea how close it is to the book (the Scientist says it "takes liberties" but is holding more true to the spirit than a lot of interpretations, so there's that). Otherwise, on the rare chances when I do get to watch "adult TV," I find there's nothing on except Hollywood Game Night. For real. And we haven't seen a movie in a few weeks, though we may go to see Sin City 2 sometime next week. Is it just me, or has this summer pretty much sucked for movies? Other than GotG, there's been nothing I've been absolutely wanting to see. Just kind of "meh" about it all.
It's been super-rainy around here lately, which I've been LOVING. Everyone hates when it rains, but it makes me really happy. Of course, I wouldn't feel this way if my house were flooded like some have had happen in the western burbs. But as it is, yay rain! Yay, thunderstorms! There's nothing like a good summer thunderstorm. I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow because it's supposed to be hot and I want to go to the pool one last time before it closes for the season. I can't believe Labor Day is right around the corner already. Yikes.
( Speaking of Labor Day... )
And with that, my husband just got home and VEE just woke up, so I'm outta here. Later!
