Our summer to-do list.

Right now we have an ongoing to-do list and at the bottom of mine is "have baby."

Of course, I haven't let Margot see her "to-do" list once the baby is actually here! It includes fixing the bathroom ceiling and also adding a deck and French doors to our kitchen.

My job during this period will be feeding our newborn daughter and shopping. Maybe my first purchase should be some new patio furniture!

Hooked up!

So we're pretty sure that when we're on maternity leave that we're going to try to travel. WHy wouldn't we? It's the middle of the summer and we have off for most of it!

Of course, with things up in the air with Margot's father we really don't know how we're going to make arrangements and what time frame we should be looking at.

I think I'm going to start looking for some cheap flights and if we are able to find them...just book'em right up!

Know a good dealer?

I'm not just talking about any dealer...I'm talking about a coin dealer!

One thing that never loses it’s value is silver coins! Even when our stocks are floundering you can always look to silver, gold, and precious metals to maintain their value.

Monex Deposit Company offers silver and other precious metals for delivery or they will make arrangements to have your metals stored privately and securely at a bank or depository.

I didn’t realize this but Monex Deposit Company (MDC) is an industry leader. They sell silver in two forms: coin or ingot. We all know what the coins look like, but the ignots are pure bullion cast in a convenient size and shape. I can only imagine they look like the blocks that are in most cartoons!

The world demand now exceeds the supply demand for silver - which makes it a pretty smart investment.

Watch down.

The other day I went into one of the jewelery stores on the commons with the intent of actually getting a battery for my watch.

You'd think that the place that sold me the watch would be able to replace the watch...WRONG.

Instead, they referred me to another place where I can get a watch battery.

While looking my eye was caught by Audemars Piguet offshore watches. They are absolutely stunning and totally perfect for the outdoorsman!

What should I do?

Before getting pregnant I lost around 100 pounds! Of course, during the various infertility treatments and then getting pregnant I've gained some of that weight back.

After I have the baby I'm really going to focus on losing the weight again. Being this big is reminding me how it was before I lost all of the weight!

Before I used weight loss pills and although I'm going to be nursing - after I stop I'm not beyond trying that again!

I'm blind.

I seriously have issues with reading. Whether it's a book or the computer I'm constantly squinting to see the words!

I think it's high time that I think about either getting a good pair of glasses or looking into magnifiers.

Of course, I'll be just like grandma with her bi-focals. And to think all those years I gave her heartache over them!

I know I should...

look into getting medical id bracelets.

I've had my pacemaker for close to four years now and I keep thinking that there might come a time when I can't tell a medical professional that I have a pacemaker. Then they'd have to rely on the cards in my wallet and perhaps a database that might or might-not have my information in it.

One easy solution would be to have a necklace or bracelet that had my name and pacemaker information.

I love my cloth diapers!

Okay, so I haven't actually used them...but I like the fact that I'm doing my part to save the earth and I think I'm going to love how they look and feel on little Emerson's bum.

Of course, when I went to buy the diapers I had no idea where to begin. It's not like they have cloth diaper franchise stores out there!

Instead, the answer was a local little mom store right on the commons!
