monday.

i took a poll on facebook and asked this question:

if you were having a baby tomorrow, what would you do today, besides sleep? clean? cook? spa day? bourbon?

i got some clever answers and some great ideas, so i compiled a list of things to do this week to occupy myself and enjoy my last days before becoming a momma!

- today i successfully slept in until 9:20am.
- i got a few house chores done. at this point, i'm trying to maintain a clean home so i don't have to do a deep clean again for guests. i also did some light trimming of bushes outside.
- i went to a coffee shop alone and read my book. i haven't been to a coffee shop alone in a very long time, and i'm guessing it will be a very long time before i get to do it again. i'm currently reading frederick buechner's "son of laughter," which i have to say is not the best book i've ever read. but at this point, with 3 chapters left, i'm just going to finish it. 2 cups of decaf and a brownie made my time all the more enjoyable.
- i walked laps at the mall. i was hoping this would start labor, but it was more a chance to get some exercise out of the rain and check out the lovely fall fashions that i won't be able to fit into this year.
- lastly, we decided to go to see "surrogates" at the theater. we popped our own popcorn at home, stopped and got drinks at a gas station, then stuffed them into my over sized purse. we got there almost a half hour early, watched previews and just enjoyed the empty theater to ourselves, thinking this might be our last movie together in awhile.

looking forward to my tuesday!
