7 Quick Takes Friday: Volume 2

---1---

I always remember to do the 7 Quick Takes when it is not a Friday, so I always miss it. Today I remembered...booya!

Ah, just one more week of this jitteriness and then I am done taking all my meds for the preterm contractions. I will be 36 weeks next week and the baby will be coming any time after that. I am scared and excited all at the same time. I don't want to have to do the whole labor thing again, but also, I do because then it means this long difficult pregnancy will be over and done with. Fini!

I am always amazed at the things that entertain Ella. We just ordered a double jogging stroller and the box has turned into a little house for Ella (door and windows and all). It's a pretty narrow box, but she can stand-up in it. and it's just long enough for her to lay down in. Just don't call it a fort or you will be hearing from Ella. It's a house, a house she says!

I am really looking forward to using this double jogging stroller. I probably won't be jogging with it, but it will be fun to go on walks and push it around. Yep, that's what I look forward to because I am a mom. By the way, my #1 criteria when looking for this stroller was that it had to be a color that stood out (i.e. red, yellow, orange) so that while walking on my road I would definitely be seen. I don't understand people who don't move over a little when they are driving by a person walking down the road, especially one pushing a stroller. Come on peeps! I always drive the way I would want someone to drive around me, duh, it just makes sense. I especially don't understand people who don't respect their own neighborhood and go flying down the streets over the speed limit. I am sure they don't like when people speed by them, but they speed themselves. I just don't get these people. Oh yeah, the stroller I found is bright red.

I have been craving an apple bundt cake for several days now and finally broke down yesterday and made one. Mmm mmm good. It tastes (to me) just like a bear claw doughnut! I have been picking at it all day...I shouldn't be doing that, but it's too good to pass up.

I just made Paul throw out the rest of the apple bundt cake because I just realized I have no self-control when it comes to it. I kept eating chunks out of it every time I went in the kitchen today.

The other day I let one of my cats, Emma, outside. both cats are indoor cats only, but I just had enough of her pooping issue (I will not go into details for your sake) and I thought she would run away, but she just sat on the front porch meowing until I let her back it. Luckily everything was cleaned off by then, or I don't know what I would have done. Today was a similar issue with our cat Max. We let him outside and he just roamed around and hung out with us while we where out there and then he meowed when he wanted to come back in. Guess this means this summer when the weather is warmer the cats might get more outdoor privileges.
