A Productive Weekend

It's official....we bought nursery bedding!! Some of you may be thinking...so, what's the big deal?? Well, Tony and I have been putting off decorating the nursery because we just couldn't handle having an empty nursery. We've been looking at nursery bedding and going to fabric stores to check out nursery fabrics but just hadn't been able to make the plunge. We did today. We struggled with things we felt were too froofy (is that a word??? you know what I mean), or too girly, or too cutesy...you get the picture. My special gift is that I can make the most simple task difficult! Well, it's done. A simple purple quilted set that will look beautiful in Lily's room!

Yesterday was our 13th month LID - a - versary. To celebrate I was fingerprinted again by the USCIS. We were already re-fingerprinted because of the prints "expiring" so I guess I was re-re-fingerprinted. I am one of those weird people that don't have fingerprints...yes, there are many of us out there. I was really angry when I learned that I had to be printed again. After I kicked and screamed and acted like your basic 2 year old Tony said "No problem, we'll make a day of it." So we went downtown so I could be printed again then went to one of the fancy downtown hotels for brunch and on our way home got stuck in Thanksgiving Day parade traffic. It's a frustrating inconvenience to be printed multiple times but I feel like it's forward progress...I mean at least I'm doing something! This just sitting around doing nothing doesn't work for my Type A personality.
