Wow. I've been neglecting this blog. Seriously. Sorry about that, any readers I have left. Hi Mom and Dad. That's you.
I've worked some. I've been trying to volunteer some, but haven't completed my training yet... I've been lazy.
Baby girl is growing right on target, and we still expect her somewhere around Dec 25. That is, if she ever decides to dislodge herself from my ribs. It's her favorite spot lately, and my least favorite spot...
I'm going to try to post more often.
Much love,
me

Wednesday already?
Well, I'm happy to report it's Wednesday. And Wednesday's almost done. My brain is kind of scattered, so you get a bullet list of my thoughts...
- I've been trying a ton of new recipes lately - it's been a lot of fun. Check out Flaky Apple Turnovers and 5-Minute Individual Potato Gratins.
- Our local commissaries and some grocery stores (aka all of the ones I go to) are out of normal, canned (not pumpkin pie mix) pumpkin puree. I really REALLY want to make pumpkin bread one of these days, and I guess I'll have to roast and puree the pumpkin myself. That could get interesting. But then I can also make pumpkin seeds!
- Tomorrow I'm going to listen to a congressman talk about the Military Spouse Residency Relief Act. I'm tired of not knowing where I'm a resident, or having to change it with each PCS. I vote in and still have my driver's license from the lovely state of Hawaii. I technically live in Virginia. My daughter will be born in Maryland (if things go as planned). Um... wouldn't it be easier if I could be a resident of the same state as my husband, who is not a resident of any of the states listed above...
- We're probably going to try to paint baby girl's room this weekend. Hubby wants to paint it light pink. Who am I to say no?
- I get to go to a "tea" this weekend. I wonder if there will be crumpets as well. I hope I can find something appropriate to wear!
- Baby (and I) sleeps much better when I don't eat sugary foods (including ice cream and chocolate malts) shortly before bed. I now eat them during the day ;) Ha!

Happy Girls Day and I'm sorry I neglected you...
... oh blog of mine... kind of.
Let's see here... This is the rundown of my life as of now.
- I ended my temp work in the pediatric pathology department, but not without a few good stories first. I'll start a new assignment next Monday - doing what, I'm not quite sure.
- My niece was born! Her name is Isabella Addison. Who knew they gave her Addison after the Wrigley Field L stop? That's pretty sweet. Isabella's nice too, but my mom's having problems remembering her nickname, "Isa" (pronounced EE-sah, almost sounds like "pizza"). I'm hanging out there with my sister and her family for the week. It's been fun spending time with my sister, seeing the new baby and laughing with my other nieces (my brother in law is pretty cool too).
- We still don't know where we're going. And we might be moving in two months. Swell. It's kind of humorous as I was calculating the possibilites of where we could be in 90 days. We could be moving to the West Coast, to the middle part of the East Coast, to the Southern part of the East Coast, or to the Gulf of Mexico Coast. Uh... no long-term planning for me. But then again, I still haven't unpacked all of our boxes from our last few moves. Oh, and there's my stuff at my parents' house. Maybe I should get that from them one day, right Dad??
- I miss Hawaii and Australia a lot. I definitely feel some ties to both of those places (unlike other places where I've lived) and I strongly desire to go back. The beauty of the Coast Guard is that we could maybe get close to living in those places again, and if not, we can move there once CO retires (and that could be a reasonable time away). I just have to hold on until then.
- There's a great Girls Day sale going on at Sig Zane. I just have to figure out what to buy. I love that store.
- CO is doing well in school. He's quite the scholar and I'm going to miss seeing the student side of him. He wasn't sure how many credits would transfer from Australia, so he overloaded on classes this quarter and moved his permanent address to the library. In the end, he did better than he thought he was going to do in at least two of his classes this quarter - I'm really proud of him. Next quarter will hopefully be easier for him. That doesn't necessarily mean that I'll see more of him though as the house we're living in now is less than a half of a mile away from a golf course...
