Yesterday was my monthly obstetrical appointment. It was the day I'm 9 wks pregnant. Now I'm in my 10th week! Almost out of the 1st trimester. (I can almost start eating again! Oh for the days when I could eat anything that was in the fridge..) We looked (listened) for the heartbeat but didn't find it. I'm not worried, of course--the baby is about the size of a large marble.

I also went Christmas shopping again, I've nearly got everything I think. $5 each is very hard to do when you think about it! Maybe it's because the cost of living is so high here. I bought a larger (artificial) Christmas tree, as well as some trimmings for it. It was somewhat hard to find because I wanted one that wasn't pre-lit, and for some reason people nowadays will pay exorbitant prices for the simple fact that it comes from the factory with lights on it. Insane! A 6ft, pre-lit tree (it has about 200 lights) is around a hundred dollars. The one I bought? $16. So, after buying a quality 200ct. light set to put on my unlit tree, the same result is $25, a quarter of the price. Besides, putting lights on is part of the experience! Like listening to Bing Crosby or Steven Curtis Chapman.

It's been so humid here lately, when we left the pumpkin pie out it molded by Saturday. Gross!

At work Sunday night the major game was Oakland Raiders vs Denver Broncos, at Denver. Whoa was the snow coming down! I wonder if it snowed that hard in GJ after it made its way over the Rockies?
