I've been running a little slow lately. We've have some flooring replaced in the house which lead to us having to clean the entire house top to bottom! I highly don't recommend having tile floors removed while being 9 months pregnant! At least I now have pretty new floors and a very clean house!
With all the cleaning, I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafting. I have managed to make all the cards I'll need this month so when our little guy arrives, I just have to remember to put them in the mail. I did manage to do some small sewing projects last week but then my machine started to make a bad noise and funky stitches. I generally hate having to bring my machine in for repairs. They usually try to convince you that you need to upgrade (which I don't and promptly told them that) and the last time it took several months to get it back! I can't go without my machine for that long!!
Which leads me to my post title...
Monday, was a great day to be very pregnant!
I dropped off my sewing machine after calling an getting a time estimate of 7-10 days. The man I talked with didn't hassle me too much about upgrading. Plus when I asked him about the turn-around time and if it was still the 7-10 days, he asked who I talked to on the phone and then promptly asked if I would like it sooner. Ummm... gee... YES!!! He said that he would try to move it up in the queue and that he might get to it still this week! Then he chit chatted about how one of the ladies who works in the store just had her baby and then asked all the normal questions to me. (Honestly, I'm trying not to be too excited because I'm more of a "I'll believe it when I see it" type of person.)
Then I had a quick little dentist appointment. Generally I despise dentists. I have had some of the worst experiences with them ever since I was a kid. I switched dentists this past fall and so far, it's been fairly pleasant. It was cute how all the ladies were leaning over the receptionist's counter to see just how pregnant I am. The hygienist was very nice with making sure I was comfortable in the chair even if it meant it was a harder angle for her to do the cleaning. Plus, they gave me the best compliment on my teeth that I have ever gotten! (I don't have horrible teeth, it's just that as a child, I was highly prone to cavities.)
After the dentist, I made a quick trip to the grocery store to grab some basics. You know, ice cream (yummy, yummy ice cream!) and milk plus a few other items. As I was walking up towards the checkout lanes, my eyes locked onto the man from the bakery who just happened to be putting out the fresh baked french bread. He definitely noticed my look because he'd place a loaf on the rack, check my progress at waddling my way over to him, place another loaf on the rack, check my progress again, repeat. By the time I made my way over there, he had a loaf in hand waiting for me to ask for it. He even set it in my basket for me since I had the basket in one hand and the gallon of milk in the other. I was so happy! But that wasn't all! I took my place at the end of the express line and the gentleman in front of me turns and told me to go ahead of him since I didn't have too much! He only had two items and I had at least five or six! It was so nice of him! Plus traffic stopped for me so I could waddle across the parking lot to my car!
I think I must have smiled the whole way home. Of course, once there and the groceries were put away, I promptly ate half the loaf of bread! We all know, that it's so much better while it's still warm from the oven!
It really was a great day! Now, if only I can get my sewing machine back....
