Lazy Lima Bean

• That’s what I feel like. I feel like I have a ton of stuff to do but then I can’t motivate myself to do anything! When does the nesting instinct kick in? Shouldn’t I be scrubbing baseboards with a toothbrush at 2AM by now? I need something to get me off of my butt!
• I start pre-natal yoga classes on Sunday. It is an 8 week series. When I’m finished it will be a week away from meeting my baby if my “guess date” is accurate. Wow!
• I won a cloth diaper last week from a blog. Yes! I am officially addicted to the cuteness of these things and the baby isn’t even here yet.
• I really want the government to stop announcing the start of programs that require outside implementation that never seems to get done. I’m trying to make some moves and get rid of my stupid 5/1 ARM by refinancing under the “Making Home Affordable” plan that started back in March. Every single time I call my loan servicer I hear a variation of “Yeah, we don’t have that implemented yet. Call us back in 3 weeks!” I get the same thing from other lenders too. What if I were behind on my payments and facing foreclosure? It sucks that there is something being advertised but you can’t take advantage of it.
• I thought I could take advantage of another new government program “Cash For Clunkers” or CARS to speed up my new car plans. I wasn’t going to buy until mid 2010, but if I can trade a car worth $1500 in and get $3500 for it – why not now? I was all set to trade in The Mister’s 1997 Ford Explorer. We discussed it and everything. The problem? We were discussing two different cars! He thought I was going to trade in the old 1991 Maxima sitting in the driveway that doesn’t work. I can’t trade that car in because it doesn’t meet the definition of a “clunker” by one measly MPG. He refuses to let me trade in his car (which he doesn’t drive much and works fairly well to be fair). So much for that one unless they change the rules!
• I really need to get back to my morning walks. I’ve been doing CrossFit but nothing else. I swear I need those other mornings to sleep in now or I get all messed up. I’ve gone from barely needing 6 hours of sleep to 8 hours not being enough.
• The Mister and I have still not come to a resolution about the baby’s name.  Well he has actually and I haven’t managed to convince him otherwise.  Are strange baby names really that bad?  Tiger Woods’ name is Tiger!  I have a grandfather named Square.  Is it really that life-shattering to have an odd name?  I can call the baby whatever I want even if his birth certificate name is very odd.
