Ramblings

• Amel Larriuex has a new single out and I’m digging it! She is my favorite artist ever and I tend not to play favorites with music (and food) because there is just too much good stuff out there. She gets a pass.
• Honeycrisp apples are gone for the season and this saddens me. I tried a Gala today and it was just not nearly as good. I’d rather skip apples entirely until Honeycrisps resurface.
• Navel oranges rock! I don’t know if it is a pregnancy thing or what but I must have one every day. A glass of OJ just cannot compare to the sweet goodness of a fresh orange!
• I didn’t run this morning because I got home really late last night. I had to sleep in because I’m not right anymore without 7 hours.
• The “Meet The Doula” event last night was cool. I am 100% convinced that I want one at my birth and met a few women last night that seemed like good candidates. The Mister isn’t quite so convinced yet (but he’s coming around a bit). He thinks having someone else there will take his place or ruin “our” experience. I disagree. He’ll go along with it if that’s what I want, but I want him to feel good about it…otherwise, I’ll feel bad about it.
• Tomorrow is gonna be hectic. Make-up run + CrossFit + Swimming.
• I worked on the elementary backstroke in swimming on Monday. I liked it because I didn’t have to worry about breathing (and possibly swallowing water). I think feeling secure with this will be just the ticket for me to let go of my fear of drowning and venture into deeper waters.
• I am coming to appreciate Ross Dress For Less and Marshall’s more and more. I needed (bigger) bras and (bigger) workout pants and I’ve gotten plenty of both at great prices. I’m not a fan of the “rack room” style of the place but sometimes you have to get over that stuff to save a few bucks.
