Hey, I got out of the house!

Will wonders never cease. By this afternoon it had warmed up and melted off so the pavement was wet, not icy. Scott's coworkers were having a shower for us, so that was nice - I could actually drive down without fretting myself silly. It was very nice - good company and conversation (and a very rich cake...oof...pretty and yummy, though!). Very sweet of them.

On the way back I stopped at the gas station and filled up (actually I didn't, it shut off before it was done and was full enough I didn't bother, but 3/4 of a tank is fine by me; I just don't want to have to think about gas on Monday when driving to my OB appointment) and then went to the library to pick up my held books. Yay, books.

It was snowing lightly - not sticking, just drifting flakes - once I left the shower and as I ran the errands. Very, very pretty.

Got home to a package from mika_vumner. Thank you so much!!

We'll see if the forecast for this weekend is accurate or not. Another winter storm warning. This time with snow Saturday, temps above freezing, melting slushy snow, sleet and freezing rain, a good freeze Friday night, and a very icy Sunday. Hopefully all melting off Monday morning. We'll see! I don't have anywhere to be this weekend except right here, so that's all good.

Do you know, I forgot the letter I'd typed up and printed to put in the box with everything sitting on my printer? :P

The toy - Mikayla has one, and she still loves it even now. It's something that she listens too and watches while she's going to sleep. :)

The white onsies - they were part of a HUGE set that my sister and niece made for Mikayla between ironing on dragons and fairies. She barely even wore any of them. I picked out the more boyish ones to send along. :)

As for the lounger, as I said, they only /just/ came out with the cover for it. I bought it, got it washed, and then never used it because Mikayla started now staying in the lounger! And it is perfect in color! Blues and greens! And yes, I do find it funny that the person who gave it to us... is now getting it back! Let me tell you.. that lounger was probably one of the BEST gifts we got with her... it was a life saver for positioning her both in the NICU and at home there for a while! I hope your baby gets as much use out of it as she did. :)

LOL! Ooops!

The toy is so very, very neat.

And the white onesies made my day - not just because of their existence, but because it's the first time I can recall Scott responding to a baby gift with not merely appreciation and enjoyment, but a startled, "Oh, they're cuuuuuuute!" Scott likes dragons especially. He has petted, admired, enjoyed, and even called cute baby things - but these are the first ones I can recall him almost cooing the "cute" at.

I do find the lounger's travels amusing as well, it's going to be so useful - probably not quite as useful as it was for Mikayla, but only because I suspect he may manage to outgrow it faster.

*grins* Cool!! I'm glad Scott liked the onesies! I thought they were cute as well, and if Mikayla had worn them more.. oh well.. she was mostly in the sleepers with staying inside. :)
