7 Quick Takes Friday - 8/7/09

For the first time in a long while, it actually feels like summer is here. It has been cold and foggy much of the time and it is a welcome change to see the sun shining. I certainly don't long for hot summer days but a little warmth is appreciated!

I love using Facebook to keep up with my family and what they are doing each day. But I don't understand how people can keep track of their friends when they number into the hundreds. I decided to have more than one account. One if for family and friends I am close to and see frequently. The other is for friends/acquaintances/old classmates that I don't talk to often but I'd like to keep in touch with them as time permits. This week I came across a number of old classmates from my old elementary/junior high. It is so funny to catch up with them twenty years later!

I have been listening to the newish Copeland album but it just finished. Next on my ipod is The Cure..."Boys Don't Cry".

For the last year I have been wanting to upgrade my phone to an iphone but it was too expensive. However, yesterday my old 2-yr contract expired so the price I'd pay was cut in half. Last night Brian asked me what I wanted for my bday and I told him I wanted an easy baby delivery but since he can't guarantee that, I'll take an iphone instead. LOL!

Speaking of delivery, the pregnancy has been going well so far but I can tell I am in the 9th month. My energy level has been a lot lower and I ache a lot more. The braxton hicks have been present for months but now they are more frequent and a lot harder. The baby will be full term next Friday so I am hoping it'll be soon after. We'll see.

My father-in-law is picking up Bella and Andrew this afternoon and having them play at his house for a couple hours. He loves having them over and it is a blessing for me to have a little time to myself. There's Eucharistic Adoration at our church since it is First Friday so I think I'll try to make a visit before Brian gets home and I have to make dinner.

For dinner tonight I am going to try a new recipe I saw on Food Network's show "Giada at Home." It is Turkey Meatloaf with Feta and Sun-Dried Tomatoes. It looked delicious so I'll give t a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a blessed weekend!
