So it's been a couple of days since I updated. I've been busy cooking, running errands, and cleaning up the house.

I'm very, very excited that Emmitt Smith won "Dancing with the Stars." Right before the results show started, Chris read a Yahoo! headline telling me Emmitt won because he knew I wanted him to win. What he didn't realize was that I purposely didn't read headlines on Wednesday because I wanted to be surprised as to who won, Emmitt or Mario. Oh well...I enjoyed the show anyway and can't wait for the next season. I forgave Chris because although I wasn't surprised about the results, I thought it was cute that he knew who I was hoping would win. He's a good husband that way :) I love you honey!

So I'm thinking of going to the live "Dancing with the Stars" show in December, but I feel guilty about leaving the baby because he'll only be about a month old. Should I feel guilty? Leave a comment here or email me. I'm on the fence about this one.

I spent Thursday cleaning up the nursery and cooking some dishes. I made some okra (bhindi masala) to freeze. For dinner I made an amazingly good and easy recipe from the show "Everyday Italian." It's called creamy farfalle with mushrooms, asparagus, and walnuts. It only took me 20 minutes to make and you can click on the link right above for the recipe. I also made a really good pomegranate/herb salad with pomegranate dressing that I got from my Rachael Ray magazine. We had a nice dinner that night!

Friday was a really fun day. I ordered some decorative items for the nursery (a to z bookends, a my first year frame where you take pictures of the baby every month and put them in the same frame) and then I went with our neighbors and their two kids, 4 and 2, to see "Happy Feet." It was a really cute movie and actually has a message about saving our planet. The dancing penguins are ADORABLE and adults and kids in the theater, including me, were dancing in their seats because the music from the movie was so good. We had a great time and it was a fun afternoon. In the evening Chris and I ordered pizza and watched "Firewall" with Harrison Ford. It was ok, don't expect a lot. There are also some loose ends, but it was entertaining as a DVD to watch at home.

No baby yet, obviously. However, my contractions are getting stronger. Hopefully that's causing some dilation to occur. C'mon baby, get out here! People are waiting to see you, including your parents!

As you can see I've put some pictures here of the nursery. I'ts best to click on the pictures because it will make them larger and easier to look at. I had to shrink them a little to put them on the blog. Hopefully it gives a good idea to you all of what it looks like. I'm happy with it...now I just need a baby to occupy it!
