Tuesday’s Tidings for October 2, 2012

1. Josh and I have found a new show to watch. We are incredibly addicted to Downton Abbey! I’m not normally a fan of English shows because they can be really long and hard to understand, but this is very entertaining and I love all the characters. Well, I don’t love them all, there are always a few villains ;) And the music is amazing!

2. I finished reading “My Life in France” last week. Such a great book! Julia Child is pretty funny about the way she explains and gets excited over several things. I’ve discovered though that we are not much alike at all though. She is all about the scientific evidence about why a recipe does or does not work and I don’t care how or why, just that it does or doesn’t. That’s just one of a few things we don’t have in common. But her zest for her life is incredible and she really has a way of making you excited about food. I think I need to go to France now, and EAT, EAT, EAT!

3. I do think I am at the point in my pregnancy where everything is starting to get uncomfortable. I’m thrilled that I managed to go 27 weeks without much of any problems. But now, sleep is getting difficult and I’m to cheap to buy a pregnancy pillow because I only have 11 weeks left.

4. Speaking of my pregnancy, this little man is so stinkin active!!! I swear, he is always moving! I’m not complaining, I love it. But last night I had to google if it was normal to be that active. Apparently, it is. But I’ve never had a baby be this active before. He better enjoy it while it lasts, because his quarters are getting smaller and tighter as the days go on, lol!

5. I can’t wait to buy pumpkins! I really want to do something fun and paint a few this year.

6. The weather is cooler today and I am so grateful! I have been way to hot. It’s just not normal for Oregon to be in the 80’s in October.

7. I have a thing for strawberry jam right now. I happen to adore jams, but strawberry is calling my name and I forgot to buy some at the store on Sunday. Grr, so so mad!

8. One of my friends found Egg Nog the other day! Can I just say how jealous I am! I LOVE egg nog!!!!!

9. OMG, have you all seen the newborn photo of Nick Lachey and Vanessa’s new baby boy Camden? He is so flipping beautiful!

10. Who’s tried the new Salted Caramel Cake Pop from Starbucks yet? It’s pretty yummy!!!!
