At long last, we’ve moved in with my parents. The place, it’s a huge mess; a jungle of wires, computers and devices.

I really don’t know where to start cleaning, should I be thinking of my painful feet or how to unpack the heavy boxes … or cleaning the surfaces, and my tummy’s in the way, or washing dishes or clothes!!!

What about my doctor’s appointment, did I forgot to take my vitamins ??? Got to pass to the co-op …

I wasn’t too surprised when I looked into the fridge and found out that it’s partly filled with mineral water and fizzy drinks. It wasn’t even half full. I do remember having a hard time pushing the trolley at the co-op, that was full to the top, and I really thought I spent 40 KD on groceries mostly, and other goods.

Well … I’ve decided to take a two days vacation, starting from tomorrow, to sort out my things and settle in the place.

I’m glad I got all the help possible from, of course, my hubby, my family and in-laws.

A terrible thing happened to my ‘palm’ yesterday, and I lost all my address-book. I couldn’t retrieve them at all, and when I asked my son-in-law (computer geek) about how to recover the lost data, his answer was …

Basically, it was my fault because I didn’t take his advice and backed up my data.

P.S. This is my dad’s 1st & last post on my blog because now he has one.

I really thought the bed lamps at Home Center were really pretty. I wonder how it would feel to own one?

Thanks Gigi … that was so nice of you.

Yesterday, in our frantic search to find an office desk or dining table, since me and my husband are moving into a new place, we didn’t leave a place we didn’t go to, and my feet felt so numb, swollen and sore, but most of all, my back was throbbing with pain because I never got the chance to buy proper shoes and mine were just so uncomfortable.

Anyways, we end up buying a Mahogany coloured audio tower from Midas, which I almost called a ‘twin tower’ in front of the sales lady, and a Mahogany coloured T.V. stand for the bedroom, that both we didn’t initially intend to buy that day. Funny how I didn’t realize immediately that we were left with the problem of matching the audio tower with a desk or dining table!! Offfeeeeeee, there were thousands of shades & I couldn’t seem to make a difference at all … I’m definitely coloured blind.

At least we were much more successful 2 days ago in choosing plain coloured bed covers and sheets because they came in a complete set, which we bought from True Value.

Pregnancy … a motherly experience … it’s love … mixed feelings of guilt and unavoidable FAT. I’d say … the most terrible thing about it is the weight gain; increasing from a fit 49.5kg to a breathless ??kg, really I can’t keep track of my weight gain anymore. Other than that, it’s not how I pictured it to be; how so many moms and grandmoms described it as being ‘tiring’ and ‘painful’ event. True to some extent because it’s not the most exciting experience I’ve ever had, but it’s very fulfilling in a way to know that I’m awaiting a new life, and to know that my husband will always be there for me … supporting me in every little way, and esp. putting up with me.

It’s been a terrible habit of mine lately to toss and turn around in bed; trying so hard to find a comfortable spot, and I end up poking my hubby in the ribs, back, and God KNOWS where else … taking almost more than half of the bed space and all the bed cover. I’m glad that we’re still married …

I’d say that pregnancy is divided into two parts; expecting phase and a phase where you don’t know what to expect. It sometimes leaves me in doubt, and other times I feel like a balloon, particularly when I look down to my belly-button that looks like it’s ready to POP!!!

That’s how it is …

Five minutes …

It took me ages today at work to figure out that I was 119 days into my pregnancy, meaning 17 weeks; which is equal to 4 months or so … whatever!!

It would’ve been a great privilege to have Einstein’s brains, ooh well! Throughout my life I’ve always wanted to know how it would have felt to ace at least one math test, but I never managed to deal with odds, evens, nasty fractions and ugly decimels, all belonging to that same category they call figures or numbers.

Life and math … ?? What is the connection??

Today was one of those days I felt like watching a good movie but I was just too sleepy. My usual day would be spent with my husband sitting on the bed, cuddled in his arms, watching some of his favourite comedy shows like Still Standing, Yes Dear and most of the other funny shows on Paramount Comedy Channel which I learned to enjoy in the past 6 months of our marriage, just for the sake of living only because I’m a person who’s ready to compromise.

Honestly I’m more into realistic drama and true stories and one of my favourite channels is the Discovery Channel I used to stay up late to watch Crime Night on Thursdays, though not anymore because my hubby records all my shows on the TIVO, thanks goes to him for that. For those that are not familiar with the tivo, it’s something that works like a VCR with a huge memory, and you can rewind and fast forward any show you’re watching, without the need for a tape. Amazing … it’s technology!

But what I look forward to the most is watching with my hubby Home and Away, my recent favourite soap opera and which again I learned to enjoy watching with my hubby …
