It's Thursday!

I love Thursdays! Thursday is one of the only days that my husband gets to stay at home, all day, with no where to go, no meetings to attend, and only one short class. Thursdays make me happy. :)

Today we woke up late and went for a run down Swiss. Well, Chris ran while Asher and I walked. Yes... we still walk on Swiss, even though an old man was murdered there last week. Poor guy. The news reporters speculate that it wasn't a breaking and entering, but that it was his son or someone that knew him well. So I'll still venture out on my favorite street stroller in hand, but only if Chris goes as our bodyguard. :) The only weird encounter was a strange teenage guy with both hands in his trenchcoat pockets, walking up and down the street. As we passed him he made sure to graciously inform me, "Watch out for the spit. I spit dude. Dude...I spit!" Me: (quietly) "umm....ok....thank you." Trenchcoated teenager: "So yeah I spit. I mean...it's big. Watch out for that loogie. It's huge. Have a nice walk."

Wow. Needless to say, Asher and I strolled onto the street and on to the opposite sidewalk.

After our walk we came back and ate chicken fajitas. And considering I just walked three miles, I helped myself to my favorite treat in the whole world right now, Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. What a way to lose the baby belly!

My wonderful news for the week: Asher slept for 5 straight hours last night! I put him down at 10:45, went to sleep at 11, woke up to him crying at 12, fed him, and then woke up at 5:30 for his breakfast! What a kid. I'll chalk it up to our long mall trip yesterday. Riding around in a stroller must have really worn him out!

Speaking of my mall trip...

I was quite disappointed in my intended splurge of the month. The yellow Anthropologie shirt turned out to be plain ugly. So I headed on over to my favorite window-shopping store instead, Kate Spade. And I left my favorite window-shopping store with these:

Don't you love window-shopping? :D

Plans for the day:

1) Go to post office, buy stamps, put stamps on thank-you cards, mail cards!!!!

2) Dust the house

3) Go to Whole Foods for some fresh fruit

4) Catch up on 24

5) Enjoy watching Asher smile- he's started responding to us with smiles! It melts my heart...

Verse of the day:

Psalm 139:13-16

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
