This weekend has really been three days for the record books. Friday night, Scott picked me up from work and we drove downtown with the sunroof open and AC/DC blasting from our (blown out) speakers. We parked in the Pearl and did some shopping at Penzey's Spices, then headed into Powell's Books. Scott found the second book in a series he's been reading, and I actually bought two baby name books. I think Scott finally got tired of me suggesting ridiculous names (Eustace, anyone?) and told me to just "buy a damn name book already". We ate dinner and enjoyed the amazing weather at the Deschutes Brew Pub where we had an amazing small-batch Belgian beer.
Saturday morning I chatted with a friend who is living in Tel Aviv on Skype (hi, Ellen!) and went outside to finish pulling weeds in the front part of our lawn. Weeds have multiplied since we yanked out the Arborvitae, and since we'll be putting a fence there in the next few weeks, it was kind of now or never! We read some of the baby names and began a huge master list that I'm sure will be checked and cross-checked many times before we actually get pregnant, not to mention before we actually have a baby.
Sunday, we went to church and lazed around the house all day--seriously, we took a two hour nap, and then when to Target and another bookstore, where I picked up Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbook (it looks amazing, I'm making dinner out of it tonight). It was nice to relax together and actually talk about our family and our plans regarding Scott's grandmother and how such a huge decision will affect us.
But now it's Monday, and I'm so not ready to return to work! Bring back the 4-day work week!!
