Good news: I measured 30 weeks and the baby is head down.
Bad news: I failed my gestational diabetes test.

Tip for clueless husbands:
Don’t start the day by telling your wife that her belly is HUGE.

The handles to our walking sticks. My stick is the one without beads. This was such a fun Girl Scout project. Much better than the stress of cookie booths that start on Wednesday. 

This was the hardest item to find for our project.. 

This is the base of our Girl Scout project. 

Because I watch too much tv -
If CSI is on, it must be Monday.
If Scrubs is on, it must be Tuesday.
If Lost and CSI are on, it must be Wednesday.
If CSI is on, it must be Thursday.
If Monk is on, it must be Friday.
If a movie is on, it must be Saturday.
If Boston Legal is on, it must be Sunday.

On the other hand -
If Tommy has therapy, it must be Monday.
If Sarah has student council, it must be Tuesday.
If Sarah has Art Club, it must be Wednesday.
If Noah has Boy Scouts and Tommy has horse lessons, it must be Thursday.
If Tommy is with the grandparents, it must be Friday.
If Sarah has Girl Scouts, it must be Saturday.
If the small children are at church, it must be Sunday.

Isn’t that how everyone knows what day it is?

If Southerners are all heavily armed, why is it so hard to find a dozen used brass casings from a shotgun? The broom handles are turning out to be difficult to find too. We’re getting everything else on my supply list from Greene’s military surplus. Saturday’s Girl Scout meeting will be fun if we can just find the missing items. We’ll make a sample tonight and post the picture.

Update: We have all the supplies and are working on the demo piece. Why didn’t anyone question WHAT we’re doing with such an odd supply list?

Doug and I spent today trying to find inexpensively - 360 feet of parachute cord, a dozen new wood handles that are used for brooms or mops and a dozen used brass casings from a shotgun. I need it all before Saturday so guess what we are doing again tomorrow? The best part is explaining to people that I need it all for Girl Scouts.

Michael has an excellent summary and thoughts on last night's episode of Lost. I wasn't surprised about the firestarter. Remember the dead bird? That fire could have started without him even being near the boat. I really dislike Shannon being with Sayid. Sayid will only get drug down by her. I am still trying to figure out why Hurley was on tv. I think the show is doing great and look forward to seeing how they end the season. I find it funny that Stephen King had negative comments about the show. Has Mr.King forgotten how Kingdom Hospital started off great and then fell apart completely after only a few episodes?
