A Tuesday list

This is the height of randomness today, but it's just where my brain is at!

1. Family came to visit this weekend to celebrate the munchkin's first birthday. (how has it been a year again?). We had a full house and fun was had by all! Of course, now the munchkin wonders why there aren't 2 or 3 people to play with at all times.

2. 22 Weeks. I figure it's about time to mention that I'm expecting another baby -- due September 9. So if my posts seem....slightly disjointed I can blame baby brain AND pregnancy brain!

3. Which leads me to this: let's talk about cravings. I haven't had any weird cravings, but I am extremely susceptible right now to suggestion in the area of food -- if a character on a t.v. show is eating something that looks yummy, I want. And once I get a hankering for something I can't. make.it.stop until I've had some. Ice cream, check. Potato chips, check. Melty cheese, check.

4. Breyers Gelato Indulgences really are very good.

5. Going out to a movie this weekend, and so far none of the theater's near us have their schedules for Friday and Saturday posted. So weird.

6. In knitting news, I started a Christmas stocking and discovered that I really kind of dislike knitting on double pointed needles. Oh well! It seems like it'll go pretty quickly. Relatively quickly.

  1. Congrats on number two :D

    I also don't like double pointed needles... How are you with circulars? I use them for everything that calls for DPNs...

  2. Thanks! I don't mind circulars nearly as much, but I've only ever done one sock (i.e., a heal), and wasn't sure if I'd be able to translate the directions from double pointed to circular.

    1. Ah. I haven't done socks yet... I have the yarn to try it - but haven't had the time! I'll get there eventually :)

    2. My whole reason for learning to knit was to make socks, but as of right now I've literally only knitted one sock. I ran out of yarn and couldn't make the second. I think I picked the wrong pattern for my first one. It was only my third knitting project, and it just took me a long time to get the hang of the teeny-tiny needles. I kept having to take it out and start again even though it was not a difficult pattern.

  3. You're right. That was the most random post ever. I do blame it on pregnancy brain. But I'll allow it until September. Then we expect things to kick back into gear, Missy!
    Meanwhile, I MUST have sweet potato fries several times a week. I'm not pregnant so what's my excuse?

  5. Amanda! Just catching up on your blog and saw the happy news. Hooray! And I'm extra happy because I'm a Sept. 9 baby. :) Hugs and warm thoughts from LA. xo (Apologies if this is a double post -- it is still early on the West Coast!)

    1. Thank you! It's good to hear from you. Hope all is well out in LA. I've been thinking about you because I keep seeing commercials for Disneyland's 60th anniversary celebration. :)
