the dinnerware perspective

i haven't blogged in a while mostly because i am "L" to the "azy." that means lazy in case you struggled there. plus nothing extremely blog worthy has come up in the last few days----of course with the exception of saving a small child from a flaming building that nearly collapsed, almost being eaten alive by the ducks in our backyard and solving world hunger. but ya, besides that, nothing blog worthy at all.

seriously though, since the sunday wog i have gone on several walks and have completed a distance of a 1/2 marathon since last friday. which if you count the extra person i am toting about, that would be a FULL marathon. sweet nectar! someone send me a free t-shirt please! sheesh! but despite the great battle won as far as mileage is concerned, what we really are concerned about here is with centimeters. 10 centimeters to be precise, and the closer we are to 10 the better. needless to say, the marathon wasn't quite as productive as we would have hoped for. according to the doctor, we are exactly where we were a week ago. 90% effaced and dilated to a 1. now, don't feel bad for me, i handled the news quite well. i realize there is an end in sight and i am not terribly disappointed. my husband is a different story. this picture describes perfectly how dan reacted to the news. (you would think that he is the one carrying the baby!)

i, on the other hand felt more like doing this:

but despite suzanne's slight disappointment and dan's utter and complete dismay and devastation, i have decided to take the "dinnerware perspective." is the glass half empty or half full? whats another week really? merely 7 days and 7 nights. 168 hours. 10080 minutes. 604800 seconds. its just another exciting countdown right? 604799, 604798, 604797, 604796....
