Bullet points

In the interest of time and my attention span, here are some bullet points that I have prepared for today's post.

• We went to Florida last week. It was great. Warm and sunny. I didn’t have to scrape ice off the windshield a single time. We did not have to spend fifteen minutes getting coats and hats and mittens and scarves and boots on before we went outside to check the mail. We went to the beach, where the water flows freely, absent of any hard chunks of ice. We wore sandals. I got a sunburn. It was lovely.



• Jay turned five on Wednesday. It was so good we celebrated it twice. Once with my parents, once several days later with Chris’ family in Wisconsin. We had the obligatory train cake and presents. I later sobbed to myself that he is already five years old and made a mental note that I needed to put together one of those video montages with music and photos of the last five years. I ate a bucket of chocolate instead.



• I am twenty-six weeks pregnant. Holy hell. I better do something. Like get a crib, or a package of onsies or boil water or watch a movie that features pregnant ladies or SOMETHING to get my head in the game.



• I am trying not to freak out about not having any space to put the baby or his crib or his package of onsies because our condo is too small and we can’t sell it because the market sucks and now he’ll have to sleep standing up in the hall closet and he won’t even be able to stand for at LEAST nine months so how are we going to prop his fat little cheeks up in the interim and, and, and, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…



• Winter is a horrible, slobberific houseguest, who has officially overstayed its welcome. Get out of here, winter. And take your nasty black snow with you.



• Did I mention that I am trying not to freak out about the whole delivering a baby in twelve-ish weeks and having no place to put the baby afterwards because our condo is too small?



• Did I mention that I am really starting to freak the fuck out about it?



• Oooh, is that chocolate over there?
