pins & needles.

I am on pins and needles, folks. my sister was due to have her baby today (well, technically yesterday!) so it really could be any minute now! it's all I can think about.

how cute is she?

so, I'm up late thinking about babies & I was reading over at bethany actually how she is "thinking about" Veronica Mars lately (so am I!) and it inspired me to follow her lead for a blog post since I haven't posted anything recently :)

outside my window: it is night time. there is a parking lot. it's generally pretty quiet (thankfully, our last apartment was on a very NOISY parking lot). it's currently 66F outside, but I can't open my window because my screen is broken and bugs get in when they see my light on :(

I am thinking: about my sister's baby, of course. she's had a fairly good pregnancy and she's handled it so well... I've never heard her complain, not once. she still walks 1-2 miles every other day. she's so excited to finally "have a baby in her tummy" and she's going to be an awesome mom! I just can't wait til he's actually *here* and to hold him and see him in some sweet handknits ;)

I am thankful for: some cooler weather. seriously. this summer was HOT. hot TAMALE. hot even for a Tennessee summer. I'm so ready for Fall!

I am wearing: jammies. black leggings & a Garth Brooks nightshirt from 19*mumblemumble*. :) keepin' it real.

I am remembering: that I am off work tomorrow! I keep forgetting!

I am going: to bed later tonight than I have in awhile. while I was in IL last week, I got on a very early to bed, early to rise kind of schedule. plus I wasn't feeling well and going to sleep sounded nice :)

I am currently reading: City of Glass by Cassandra Clare

I am hoping: that my nephew is born healthy and soon :)

on my mind: do I really need to answer this? hehe.

noticing that: my whole apartment is a disaster...

in the kitchen: there are no more diet cokes :(

around the house (apartment, heh): there are a lot of books. a LOT. my sister is into reading now, so... between the two of us it's book city. I need the cable/internet to go out for a month so I can catch up ;)

one of my favorite things: knitting wool on bamboo needles. I have barely used metal needles lately -- I just love the feeling of the bamboo even though I think I knit slower with them... if that's possible.

from my photo archive:

even though I didn't take this picture, with newborns on my mind, it seemed appropriate :) my mom with her fourth baby, her 3 other kids, and my grandma. dig my sweatsuit? hehe :)
