Little things you are excited about

[awkwardpenguin]

I ordered curtain rods for DD's room, and I found ones that wrap the curtain around the window to hold the heat in better.  I think this is a genius idea and am unreasonably excited to see if it works.

What little things are you excited about?

Getting these in the mail on Wednesday. I ordered 4 pair. 2 long and 2 capri. I'm hoping they fit well and are comfortable because I fully intend on wearing them the last 2 months of pregnancy and a good 4+ months after that! Now I just need to find forgiving, flattering and inexpensive tunic tops to wear with them for post-partum.

I rearranged the guest/sewing room to make it more functional. I still need to hang a shelf but it is much more functional now. I super jazzed about it.

Errrr, H coming home after work? Being with a semi-sick toddler all day is hard. Lol

Eta - Also the chocolate cake I made last night. And the chocolate chip muffins I made with G this morning. I may or may not take a bite of one/both each time I walk through the kitchen.

It's finally a gorgeous sunny day here. (Yes, I've gotten spoiled.) I'm standing in the sunshine while J explores around me.

Our napkin holder that I hated broke last week. I ordered a new one that doesn't collapse apart when touched. I'm so happy!

Pop Getting in a quick 25 minute run over the lunch hour Ol and then coming back to eat the delicious wrap sandwich I just picked up from TJ's

[Lucy Honeychurch]

War and Peace is on tonight. And I also have the new X-Files on DVR.

One trick pony (see randoms).  TWO glorious nights alone in a hotel. 

[sju1982]

Listing our house, and all of the decluttering that goes along with it.

It looks like it will be above freezing every day this week some days as high as 40! This pleases me. I know we still have a lot of winter but the occasional respite makes it easier to bear

[juliette21]

It's staying lighter longer at night, and I actually heard birds singing a few mornings ago, so small signs that spring is on the way. I can't wait to be able to run outside again, once the snow melts and the temps stay above 30.

I was hoping that my H would be bringing news that our DC would be completely accessible (an in-home in a neighborhood) and open tomorrow but alas...

But, I could ALMOST get to work on the Metro. I'd just have to have H drop me off at the Orange line going into DC, one station away. They now have the rest of my commute. That's something, right?

[Gato]

I am excited to watch Downton and Mercy Street tonight with H.

DD2 had a great play date with a new friend this morning.  The mom is really interesting too.

H brought me flowers Friday that still look pretty.

I had today blocked as a day off like over a month ago.

Not working on Monday is freaking awesome. I need to do this more often.

Going downstairs after work and enjoying my clean house (house cleaner came today). This will last approximately 10 mins before th girls get up from their nap and I have to cook dinner and it is destroyed again.

[niq]

The end of depressingly short days. We're through the worst of it already. By the time we leave for mexico, "sunrise"* will be after it's time to leave in the morning.

* okay sometimes it's more like "slightly brighter cloudrise" but I'll take what I can get.

[Brie]

I get to have a spa day on Sunday. Massage, facial, will grab lunch at the cafe solo and then lounge in the grotto hot tub.

My new work schedule starts today. It's going to feel weird to leave at 4, and be less rushed with the boys this evening.

[patbutcher]

I washed the bucket seat cover and just put it all together again, on the smallest setting and also with the newborn insert. So excited for the new baby.

[pippa]

Dried cherry oatmeal cookies. Very simple, but delicious.

Also. My new kitchen.

THIS IS A BIG THING! :gavel:

[Aquatica]

H gave me the stamp of approval to buy new dishes (dinnerware and glasses) after the new silverware came that I found for $30 (53 piece set).

[glitzy07]

The high school boy who rang up my Subway accidentally gave me three cookies instead of the two I was supposed to get with my meal. Woot!

[meltoine]

I ordered a nursing dress from ASOS to wear to my friend's solemn profession and my sister's rehearsal dinner. I wear skirts most of the time so I can pull my top up to nurse, but I miss wearing dresses.

Can it be something that happened a little while ago? I am still excited about my new diaper bag. The jujube BFF. I love love it. Perfect size, shape, functionality, great organization. I keep learning about more little helpful things to keep in it, it gets more and more helpful every time I tweak it. Like DS somehow cut his finger at the grocery store last week (weird!) and we had to fight crowds to get all the way across the store for a Band-Aid. Which I now have in my diaper bag, along with this nifty Neosporin spray. I love being prepared!

Link? I'd love a nice nursing dress to wear to church.

DS is upstairs in his bed for naptime. dd fell asleep in my arms nursing as I watch law & order svu reruns. Can I freeze this moment?

[redpenmama]

Two blissful kid-free hours getting my hair done on Saturday

[lindsaymg]

I got on a scale for the first time in months and I didn't weigh as much as I imagined. I am doing ok on my low carb diet so hopefully I won't look like a cow come spring/summer.

My SIL's due date is in 8 days.  I'm so excited to be an Aunt, this will be their first baby.
