so much to do so little time

I was supposed to be up in new york for a meeting (telomeres!) this week/weekend and we decided not to go at the last minute. well, it ended up being a disorganized, unpaid-for mess, so i decided i wasn't going. and thank goodness! there is so much going on this weekend! and luckily for me, i had already taken off work b/c of this meeting, so i kept the day off so i could enjoy an actual whole saturday at home. so far this is what my weekend is looking like:
thursday:- first prenatal yoga class. long time coming - i am way out of shape.
-lewis ginter plant sale starts today. we'll either go thur or fri
friday: -begin getting the living room ready to be painted (finally!). this means taking everything
off the walls, moving everything to the middle of the room, taking all my books off the
bookshelf (!!)..... this is good though b/c i need to get rid of books and i found out last nite
at a meeting for the new Patrick Henry charter school that the forest hill yard sale will
be selling books to raise money for the school.
saturday: -first south of the james market
- lowe's!! veggies, plants, ladder, mulch
-prime and paint the living room
-possible/probable yard work since i won't be the one painting
-try to stop by arts in the park for initial scoping of goods
sunday: -arts in the park
-finish up painting
-finish up yard work
oh and we'll be dog sitting - so that will be three medium-to-large dogs in our tiny house while we paint.
we've had our first two parenting classes, where jack got to watch his first birth video! needless to say, the look on his face was priceless. but he needs to be prepared before he's actually involved in one. we're learning a lot and i will never think of a lifesaver the same way again.
we've also decided to join a pool b/c i just can't see going through a whole summer pregnant without some sort of pool comfort. especially if i'm going to have a bit of time off (which i hopefully will. my boss may have other plans though)...either way, pool partay here we come! thanks blair!
i've been starting to compile a list of children's books i want to begin collecting for the baby. so far my list is for an older child (b/c those are what i remember reading and loving) so if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE send them along! i also want to get a music list going, so any good kids cd's that aren't completely annoying will be greatly appreciated!
along with the books, i've been looking for some cute bookends b/c we don't have room for a bookcase in her room. so far i have found nothing! no, i found these:
which are no longer available. lame! i love these - especially the colors. so if anyone sees cute bookends give me a heads up!

and even though it wasn't so long ago, i found this guest blog by our wedding photog (who coincidentally is due with her first baby the end of aug!) with a picture of us included! we still haven't gotten our wedding pics back yet, and this reminded me of what a good day/night that was and how fantastic it still is!
