food, glorious food

i. So, I made peanut butter cookies this afternoon, and The Meaning of Everything: the Story of the Oxford English Dictionary is so far fantastic, and we are having Hungarian goulash (ours is meat + seasoning atop egg noodles) for dinner, and THERE IS NEW LOST TONIGHT, so, all things considered, I think it's going to end up a pretty decent sort of day. (There are sugar cookies with frosting and cupcakes in the works for St. Desmond's Day Valentine's Day. Mwaha. Holidays are good excuses to Bake Things.) 

ii. Mum has not been doing so well lately; her blood pressure level has shot up, which is Not Good for her and the wee bairn, so the doctor's got her on Not-Quite-Bedrest, which essentially means that she isn't supposed to do very much walking or standing, and We Able-Bodied Teens have got to fill in chore-wise. Er, pray for her if you think to, and also that my brother and I will not balk at the chores (overmuch). Extra chores are not my strong point. 

She had another ultrasound today, though, and our wee bairn is sucking her thumb quite vigerously! She's been very busy in the womb lately, but whenever Mum calls me over to feel her kicking, she stops. Either she takes after me in being painfully shy, or she is having fun hiding, in which case she...also takes after me. Hee. :D

ii. TWO MORE HOURS, PEOPLE. (!!!)

i. Peanut butter cookies sound SO amazing right now.

ii. I'm sorry to hear about your mom's blood pressure. Will definitely pray for her. When is she due?

iii. ohemgee how was it?! Amazing, I bet. I SO wish Nelle and I had caught up in time to watch it. I think we should be good by next week, though.

Mum's due the week of Mother's Day--and she's very much hoping for the baby to be born then (the thirteenth). I was a Father's Day baby. :D

It was AMAZING, YES. ♥ SO MUCH AWESOME.

Ooh, that's coming up pretty soon. I mean, it's not next month or anything, obviously, but time is going loads faster than I really want it to, so everything seems closer than it probably is, you know? Anyway, that'd be awesome if the baby was born on Mother's Day. :)

Ohemgee SOMUCHEXCITEMENT!! We're finally to episodes on season two that I've seen before and OHEMGEE WE HAD BETTER FINISH SEASON TWO AND THREE THIS WEEKEND.

Mwaha!
