Guys, today has been SO AWESOME.
I didn't really sleep last night, due to my hurt back. My whole spine all the way up to my head was affected, and then my sciatic nerve was also affected, so pretty much it just hurt from my neck on down to the heels of my feet. But the good news is my arms were fine.
Also, I am happy! So who even cares about not sleeping.
I went over to the house again today and did a few loads of laundry (including a few loads for Baby D--it takes SO many baby clothes to fill up a load of laundry! Whoa!), and tried to figure out a system for organizing all my books. Our zillions of bazillions of books.
I figured it out. One of these times I will post a picture of the bookshelves I organized today. They look FREAKING FANTASTIC.
I was inspired while I was putting away my vast Idiot's Guide collection. All that orange looked so nice, I went out and grabbed my 10 other random orange-spined books (like "The Art of Woo" and "Freakonomics," and stuck them next to it. Then there was a blue-spined book with a bright orange stripe across it, so I added that, and then piled blue books next to it, so the stripey book was like a transition.
The next shelf down was for my books on finance and economics. Turns out people who write about money like their books to be green. So I had a green section and a white section and a purple section (?) for my money shelf.
So then I had those fun colors on those shelves, so I went back into the front room and organized my other bookshelf the same way. The top row is for purples and burgundies that fade to blue; the next one is for blues fading into greens; then comes the beige row, the red row, and a black row. I found some pictures of me and Carl and our families that matched the colors and put them up, and now the bookshelf looks so aesthetically pleasing I can barely stand it. I just like to stand back at look at it.
Then my BFF from my old work called, and we caught up and she told me awesome stories, and then later my mom offered HER a job, and it was like all my dreams came true. And right now I'm watching So You Think You Can Dance. Is it possible for today to get better?
And then tomorrow I have my midwife appointment, and Friday is the chiropractor--I don't even care if I don't sleep again tonight, and I don't care that my body hurts. I am just one happy girl. Even in spite of my foul Bieber mullet. Life is so awesome I can barely stand it.

Awesome video
You need to watch this video. It's catchy and also very informative. If you live in a place with an economy (which, if you're alive, you do), you need at least a basic understanding of these two guys. Don't worry, the economic principles are explained in hip hop music video form.

NUGGETS!!!
Tonight we had Chick-Fil-A for dinner. I got nuggets, for several reasons:
1. I like them.
2. They remind me of my second-favorite sports team. The Nuggets.
Why are they my second-favorite? I believe the answer is obvious.
"Nugget."
Just say it.
I'm 90% sure that "nugget" could be the funniest word in the English language. It is possibly even funnier than "moist" and "weasel."
It even looks funny. The longer you look at it, the more ridiculous it is. Nugget. Ha ha.
Yes, that is my main reason for liking them. I'll admit it: I've never seen them play. But let's be honest here. They don't matter anyway. What matters is having an awesome name.
But that leads us to another question: if they're only my second-favorite team, then... who's Number One?!
Well, that is obvious. The Blazers.
Because Carl said so.
Also because it takes a blaze to cook a nugget. I know that from baking dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets for my little cousins. Alternatively, you could argue that cooking a nugget only takes "Heat" but then you would be wrong.
So many nuggets. So little time.

why Carl is awesome.
There are many reasons why Carl is awesome but this post is just dedicated to one of them.
I have breathing problems. As far as I know, I have always had breathing problems. Asthma, "reactionary airway disease" (which is code for, "my airway sucks but there's not a REAL diagnosis other than that"), and I've even had some chronic bronchitis. It's been super fun. A side effect of my breathing problems is that when I get a cough, I get it LOUD. And LONG. I can cough for hours and hours at an extremely high volume. It is not a talent I am proud of.
When I was little, my parents would make me sleep at least one floor down when I got coughs--because otherwise I would keep everyone on the top floor awake. It was very sad and I hated it but, what can you do.
When Carl and I first got married, I spent the first 7 months of our marriage ill. I just had one cold after another for 7 straight months. And sure enough, they involved coughs. The first night that my coughing started to get out of control, I told Carl that I would go sleep downstairs so he wouldn't have to listen to me.
And you know what he did? He just said, "You don't have to do that." And he let me sleep in the upstairs in our regular bed and I just felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
Last night the full pregnancy pain set in, for realz. Over the past 2 days I've gotten foot cramps and back cramps, but last night, it was insane. Like my whole body was this giant contorted mess of fail and pain. Ow. We turned off the lights at 10 pm, and then I spent at least the next 2.5 hours after that just rearranging pillows and stuff in an attempt to not be in total pain.
It kept on accidentally disturbing Carl's slumber, and I felt so guilty about it (but not guilty enough to start all over trying to get comfortable downstairs with the BoyCat).
But then this morning I apologized to him as I left for work, and he just said, "it's okay," and gave me a little goodbye kiss like it was no big deal that I spent the whole night flipping around and restacking pillows.
I'm pretty much the luckiest girl in the world. <3

in which you learn the extent of our nerdiness
conversation rendered as closely as I can recall
Spouse 1: I need to change my Starcraft name soon. I'm thinking Gom Jabbar.
Spouse 2: Or Shai-Hulud.
Spouse 1: That could be good too.
Spouse 2: You could call yourself Bene Gesserit. Only then people would think you were a girl.
Spouse 1: And then I'd have to be all like, Bene Gesserit aren't Zurg!
Spouse 2: Are you saying a Bene Gesserit can't be Zurg?
Spouse 1: They always just seemed more like Protoss to me.

random thoughts
Last night my grandparents came down for Family Home Evening. Our lesson was on...hmm... maybe nothing, but the activity was going "maternity clothes shopping."
"Maternity clothes shopping" actually means "baby clothes shopping." Baby D is like 14 inches long and he's already got entire sets of jungle-themed clothes.
Favorite shirts:
INGENIOUS IDEA: Eat Mexican food ASAP.
Interesting article on unemployment calculations.
I know of some managers who need to read this article.
I CUT MY HAIR YESTERDAY!! Which is to say, I got my hair cut. It is now CHIN LENGTH. That is so short. But I figure, my hair grew like 4 inches in the past 3 months, so this is probably the safest time of my life to try being a short-hair lady. I'll post a pic when I get around to it (which means, maybe never... sorry! But at least now it's on the to-do list).
Taxes and Math!
I kind of wish I could stop watching this video. But not enough to actually stop watching it.
