Opportunities for quiet nights on the deck in the warm spring breeze followed by a date for sushi are going to become quite scarce soon. At least we can have loud nights on the deck w/ a little guy soon. That oughta make up for it. Still I figured we should take advantage of it while we can, so we made a spontaneous trip to our fave sushi joint in town. It’s been months since we had sushi and the longer you go between it the better it tastes when you get it. oh how wonderful the real stuff w/ fish will taste once baby comes.

~Spring is here, people are restless, weather is warm, and daffodils are blooming
~Pic is not mine, I found it on a spring google search
~I am picking up two rolls of Holga pics after work today, one roll shot in the cemetery in the fog
~We bought a new car last weekend, a Toyota Camry, it makes me feel responsible and all grown up
~Less than 8 weeks left…thank god we got the new car
~Today will be 80F outside, it should be illegal to have to work on nice spring days
~There never seems to be enough time for everything
~Yesterday I sat on the deck and read, it was the first time in ages I missed my beads
~I’ve been thinking about the garden already, wondering if I’ll get anything in the ground this year
~I would also like to plant some more bulb flowers around the house, and put out some bird food for the birdies

I started this project Christmas weekend and finished it Sunday afternoon. Not too bad of timing since I took a few weeks off in February while I was hooked on making owls. =) It’s nice to finally have something off my in progress list crossed off. Especially one for the little guy. The colors are perfect, the white diamond pattern is just what I was looking for. It’s not quite square, which has to do w/ I didn’t count stitches/rows/or measure yarn gauge, but that’s my style and I’m ok w/ it. I can’t help but look at patterns for new crochet projects. For now it’s just looking. Next is to finish up the owls I started last month, which is something I’ve been looking forward to for a few weeks now.

While I’ve been spending my down time diving head first into fiber crafts, Chris has been hard at work writing and recording new tracks for his Dzogchen project. He’s been continuing his exploration into zen metal, combining different sounds and levels to create some rocking meditation tracks. This last bunch inspired by life events seem more complex w/out losing the simplicity of the sound. Maybe it mimics life more than I first realized. His newest track, A Boy, was posted Tuesday evening. The rest of his songs will be posted over the next couple days. So stop by Dzogchen’s media page today and again over the next day or two to hear some amazing stuff.

This week we are 30 weeks pregnant. The countdown has begun, something about the approaching single digit number of weeks left seems so definite, so here, so official, and so exciting. I haven’t blog much about our experience, which has made it hard to come up w/ things to blog about. I’m caving in a little.
We were so excited for the 10 weeks into the pregnancy mark to hit. That was our time frame of when we’d start telling people the news. The 10 week mark made us feel secure about the entire reality of the pregnancy. It was by this time I was actually starting to get more comfortable with saying “I’m pregnant.” To have the same amount of time left is surreal. The first ten weeks went by in a rapid slow motion. Slow b/c we were dying to tell people, fast b/c time tends to fly. I expect these last ten weeks to be similar. Slow b/c we’re anxious to meet him, fast b/c we’re scrambling to get everything done. Seems that lately my brain has worked better in bullet point fashion versus prose. So here’s whats going thru my head about the next few weeks of the 10 left.
*daycare/work schedule planned out as much as I can do before babe…check
*start shopping for a new car…needs to be fuel efficient and fit a car seat.
*want to steam wash carpets in the house
*maybe paint master bedroom, I have a color picked out I like
*call for quotes on fixing the front step to the house, it’s getting dangerous
*taxes are done YEAY!
*finish baby blanket, all pieces are sewn together into two halves. I need to attach the two sew in remaining strings and crochet a border. Rock blanket on hold until after baby. Once baby blanket’s done then have fun w/ owls and other sewing projects again.
*get back to reading baby books for mental prep
*do some early shopping for bdays, showers, and other events so don’t have to worry about it later
*enjoy the spring weather and go for more walks
