This post will take the form of a bulleted (okay, dashed) list…

– today jenny and rob find out if i will be having a niece or a nephew!

– this weekend was pretty jam-packed with fun. friday night would have been much better, though, if i’d run into paula at the beginning of the (very painful to me) concert, rather than at the end.

– i beat my personal record of 20:56 at the Celebration in the Oaks 2-mile run with a blistering 20:30! Yes, I kill myself to run 10:15 miles. teresa, however, while she had a good time, ended up with a severely swollen pair of eyes. it is a medical mystery, but now she is all better.

– i got the best christmas present so far this year (and this one is going to be hard to beat, people) from kristina. it’s the most beautiful purse in the world.

i swore i wouldn’t use it until christmas, but today my willpower was out to lunch and i couldn’t resist. the leather, it is like butter!

– last night, whilst toasting tortillas to go in the soup i made, i turned our house into a smoke pit. i may have left them in the toaster oven a tad long, and they may have turned to ash. the stench is lovely. how to get rid of it?

– sunday is mom’s birthday! so i will be going to baton rouge saturday night so we can see “The Holiday” and then have brunch on sunday.

– 10 days to ellie! again!
