you see...

the purpose of the poll was to help us deal with the fact that it's 50/50 and have to wait until the 30th to find out the gender of our child! this tied at 24 nonsense isn't helping the suspense any! :P

i thoroughly enjoy working on saturdays (no i don't) because it's extremely slow... i've only had 3 short calls in the past hour. it forces me to find alternative ways to pass the time. one of my favorites is eating the food that luke packs for me pretty much on a daily basis. he's cute. he made the mustard on my sandwich into a smiley face.

yesterday luke and i went to see the dark knight (that's the batman movie, for anyone living in a cave) for a little day date. i cannot tell you how well-done that movie was! especially heath ledger. it is definitely unfortunate for the movie scene (and his family, etc) that he is gone, but i will say that this is by far the most powerful and convincing role i've ever seen him in. even if the character was extremely creepy and psychotic, i'm glad that he will be remembered for this.... and he absolutely will. overall it was a very well made movie and i was impressed. i would definitely recommend it.

i've been thinking a lot about the things i want to accomplish before the baby comes. some of them are on hold until we find out the gender, but i'm excited to start working on some of these things:

• I've mentioned before that I want to learn how to make a quilt for my baby... I'd like it to be a gender-specific blanket, so that's on hold until after the 30th, though I'm very excited to do it.
• I would like to get caught up on my scrapbooking, especially the holes in my high school scrapbook, like showtime, prom and graduation. those are big ones... and part of being able to do that deals with actually getting those pictures from people who actually have them.
• Organization! Right now our second room is just full of unorganized stuff. I'd like to clean it out/get everything organized so that when we move, we'll actually be able to use it as a nursery (which will be practically empty until we find out the gender and start finding furniture).

those are the main things i would like to work on. i would also like to go through and get rid of a lot of stuff we never use before we move, so that we're not just lugging a bunch of junk with us.

am i too ambitious? we'll see, but i'm excited to get started. that counts for something right?

do you have any project/"spring cleaning" goals that you're working on?
