too much happiness.

Reasons why this week is great:

1. Clara finds out what they're having on FRIDAY. (Boy? Girl? Alien quadruped? Who knows! It's all part of the mystery. Aren't babies FUN.)

2. We get to Skype with The Precious Young Man on Sunday. So not only do we get to talk to TPYM, we get to see him. The insanity of this preciousness blows your mind, I know.

Oh, and I believe it's also Christmas. So there's that to add to it all.

Carry on.

i'm going to be an aunt!

only ninety-five more to go.

Recently I joined a Goodreads challenge to read a certain number of books in 2011. I originally committed to 200, but then I did the math (Natalie helped me) and realized I'd have to read a book a day for the rest of the year. Yikes. So I lessened my sights to 100 books. So far I have finished [only] five. Goodreads reminds me that at my current pace, I am 44 books, or 44% (did not do that math) behind. Oops. Better pick up the pace here!

Semi-segue: How much is this my child? (Minus the hipster leanings.)

Cara added it to our shared "Baby" Pinterest board and I loved it. Oh yeah!

So I'm committed to this goal. The trouble is deciding what to read next! I just finished my Sherlock Holmes collection (le sigh...it flew by) and am planning on starting a running book Natalie's letting me borrow. But I feel like I need to have one more in the mix. We'll see. Any suggestions?
