Incidentals

Our power was off for 7 hours yesterday!!! From 5 in the evening to midnight. It was so hot! How did people do it back in the day??? It felt so stuffy. It was nice to have candles lit, but the bad thing is that I fell asleep, but woke up when the power came back on... So I didn't go back to bed till 5... The good news is that I had an AwEsOmE book to read!!! It's entitled She Walks in Beauty by Siri Mitchell, and it's set in 1891 New York City. It was full of all the details of being a debutante. I am so glad I am not living in that time period! The women stayed sick and weak from the stupid corsets. They caused more health problems than I realized! No wonder women were so frail back then.... At least the ones who wear a corset were. What ppl do for beauty astounds me. I don't want to ever be that vain or insecure. That would be an awful way to live. Anyway, the main character was so real. I feel like I know her. I didn't want the book to end.... Now I want to read more of her stuff!!!

It's inspiring me to finish my last school assignment. I know, I know, I should have it done a long time ago. I just haven't been that well. I am so praying I can get it done on time. Oh, I am working on two banner orders. I need one more so that I can get my sewing machine. Both the banners are the same design just different colors and initials.

Oh, I can cradle my little baby now. :-) My bump is bigger. It's so exciting!!! I go to the OB next week and in two weeks I find out what we are having!!! I bought a set of three small bottles at Target b/c they had them on sale for $10 this week. I might go  back and get the $20 set. It has 3 small bottles, 2 big bottles, and 2 nuks. I want to use the nuks b/c of the orthodontic help it's supposed to give. There is a big yard sale at Pershing Park this weekend. Charity and I want to go and see if we can find some cheap baby things like a bassinet, crib, boppi, etc. I hope we find some great deals!!!
