* Make room on the bandwagon, I bought the Mumford & Sons CD. So far, I'm really liking it.
* I came thisclose to leaving work at 4:00pm today to go to McDonald's for a cheeseburger. But I didn't. I think I deserve a brownie for showing such restraint.
* Tonight, I watched 4 episodes of Jeopardy that had accumulated on my DVR. This made me oh so happy. It made Brian fall asleep on the couch. (Though he did wake up at one point, mumble the correct answer to Final Jeopardy, and then fall back asleep. Smarty pants.)
* I'm intrigued by the popular fascination with Lent. It seems to me that many people who otherwise never mention religion love to talk about what they're giving up for Lent. My Facebook feed was full of people proclaiming their Lenten sacrifice. What is it that attracts so many people to observe this religious tradition (or at least talk about it) yet neglect many others? When did Lent become trendy? Has anyone else noticed this? (Just making an observance - not saying this is a bad thing.)
* I went to Target to stock up on cereal and they didn't have Captain Crunch! Clearly not a major problem, but who doesn't carry Captain Crunch? It's delicious.
* If you ever need a reminder of how many crazy people are on the Internet, try selling something on Craigslist. Holy moly, there are a lot of weirdos out there. I listed a desk for sale and got no less than 10 crazy emails on the first day the listing was posted. One guy just wrote "Text me your address." Yeah, sure buddy. Can I send you a naked picture while I'm at it? Nut job. (I probably just attracted more Internet weirdos by writing "naked picture." Crap.)
* Despite a series of embarrassingly bad attempts to capture a "bump picture," I'm going to post one tomorrow. If this interests you, come back to check it out. And try not to laugh too hard at my lame self-portrait. Or at least don't tell me how hard you laughed.
No clever ending. That's all she wrote.

OH and I'm excited to see bump too!
I ate my weight in Cap'n Crunch while preggers!
I totally agree on Lent - it's an interesting phenomenon.
It's so funny because my brother has been going to M&S concerts for years now and sending me their music. And then it's so funny how quickly (I mean, they've been on the scene for years and years, but seemingly how quickly things can change) they are just viral. It's so fun. I really, really like their sound and am getting to see them in Austin at the end of April! Wee! Also, I'm LOVING all of your thoughts, ideas and inspiration on the nursery. I can't wait to find out pink or blue and then see what you decide on the nursery! So, so fun. XOXO
craiglist's crazies!! i know all about this. i posted a car monday afternoon. i got 17 emails in 2 hours. in addition to the weirdo emails, someone offered to exchange their crappy old car for mine. that's just what i wanted.
I love Jeopardy! New to your blog... can't wait to read more!
Bought the hubs Mumford & Sons before Christmas. Love it!
As a Catholic girl, I think Lent is a way for people who don't normally practice to feel better about themselves..."During Lent I'm going to give something up and start going to church again." You know, like those New Year's resolution people go start going to the gym.
I don't usually give anything up. (And I wouldn't post on FB now I'm giving up all the girl scout cookies I've been buying and eating.) Most people give up things for selfish reasons. I always try to make it a time of year to try to be more kind, more generous, etc. (I Fail.)
OMG this absolutely reminded me of the hate mail I got once when I was trying to sell two concert tickets to see Elton John and Billy Joel. The lady wanted me to save them for her so she could book a flight in for the concert (that was in two days) and she refused to pay me up front so I sold them to someone else. She went crazy. OMG I've got to blog about that - I'm so glad you reminded me. It got funny when I started responding to her with the email subject line: Ba Ba Ba Benny and the Jets...
