I’ve been listening to the song “The Girl” by City and Colour on repeeeeeat for the past few weeks. This is not a new thing, this is what I do with music (just ask Zack) but what’s different is usually I burn myself out of the songs pretty quickly, simply due to my obsessive and constant playing of them. Not the case with this song. Still not sick of it. This is a new record.
Nesting is in full effect. I know I keep saying that, but it just keeps getting more and more apparent to me, and I find it humorous. Me? Nesting? Pffft, okay. I’m the last person to describe myself as “domestic”- everyone in my family would attest to this- yet here I am playing Susie Homemaker, moving furniture around (okay, not me personally, Zack is doing this), making room for baby. These are big steps, people. Big steps. Also, you should see my “Home” and “Nursery” Pinterest boards. Ridiculous.
It’s fiiiiinally raining here on the west coast! Oh, did you hear? We’d been in a drought. And we still are, technically, and it’s really bad, so we really really really needed this water! It’s kind of crazy though, because all of that sunshine and lack of rain for the past few months was getting me all sorts of excited and ready for spring/summer, and now I’m reminded that we’re actually still in winter. And so. That’s where I’m at right now. Trying to convince myself that cold and blustery and rainy is gooooood. Really.
And now it’s the weekend, and time to clean even more, and try to sleep better, because honestly sleep has gone to the wayside lately. There’s like a million billion more important things to do than sleep, you know what I mean? Like, I don’t know if you know, but we’re having a BABY in 10-ish weeks, give or take (hopefully right around then, because honestly I don’t know if we could handle an early arriver- it stresses me out just thinking about it!) So if you need me, I’ll be going through my sock drawer, because I have wayyyyy too many socks. It’s true. And other things too, but mostly those dang socks. Like, we need MORE ROOM and those socks are taking up too much of it. They are the bane of my existence at the moment. See? Pregnancy really does make you kind of loopy. FYI to those of you who haven’t done this thing yet. It’s a wild ride.
What are your weekend plans?
What’s your favorite song right now?
Would you consider yourself domestic, or not so much?

I’m loving but hating the rain. We cancelled a trip to Sonoma for this weekend since it’s supposed to be pretty stormy. Even though I know we nee it, I would much rather enjoy the sunshine! Happy nesting!
Awww okay, I see why you’d be hating the rain, then! No fun having to cancel a fun trip! We had to cancel a photo shoot today for the same reason. :( I mean, yes the rain is good, but it sucks when it stops important plans!!

You should totally mail your socks to me!! (Maybe that’s a little odd..) But seriously, I am a huge sock fan. I have a separate box under our dresser mostly filled with socks. A girl can never have too many and you totally got me into the J. Crew camp socks this year. ;) I would consider myself to be fairly domestic, I mean my technical job title is stay-at-home wife. Excited to see pics of your little man in 10ish weeks! Good luck with all your nesting and may you accomplish tons!
Haha I only got rid of the socks with like holes in them and stuff. Ain’t nobody wants those! :( YAY I’m so glad you’re loving your J Crew camp socks!! They’re the best!

I totally get you on the sock thing! When we moved the last time, my sock drawer totally became the bane of my existence, too! I ended up throwing out so.many.socks. I felt sooo much better afterwards!
Ha! Silly how something so small and trivial as SOCKS can become such big annoyances in our lives! ;) Glad I’m not too crazy and am not the only one with this problem!

Love that song!!
I can’t. Stop. Listening. to it!!

I LOVE that song. My husband is in the Navy so it’s “our song” and I can listen to it 24/7. It really never gets old. I saw Dallas in concert last year. <3
Aww so sweet that it’s your song! It’s so romantic :)
xo
You are way too funny! I am loving your wacky since of humor from the pregnancy. I’m jealous you just have run back there. Utah has snow for daaaze. Have I mentioned I hate the cold? I know, gotta move outta this place. Also, I do the same thing with songs. It is a hard cycle of play play play and then hate because I am burntout of it! Cute glasses.

Ohhhh I love snow but I don’t know how I would feel about it if I had to LIVE in it, since I never have! I can see how it could get old very fast!

I do the same thing with songs. If I love a song, I play it until I can’t stand it anymore & move on! And I learned after moving out of my parents house that I really am domestic. I love cooking, baking, even cleaning {some things}. In fact, that’s how I’ll be spending my weekend… crazy spring cleaning marathon!
YAY for spring cleaning!!! I’ve already begun, and have been doing it in stages and it is the BEST feeling getting rid of unnecessary things! Good luck! :)

I adore that song! Definitely not one to get sick of any time soon. Nesting was so odd to me, I had never been that compelled to do laundry in my life. I’ve always been selectively domestic. Some days I only want takeout but need the floors to be clean and all the sheets changed. Other days I want to spend all day cooking while the dogs destroy the floors.
This weekend my 6 year old has earned her first trip to build-a-bear so we’re all very excited.
Yay for rain!
Haha I love how you put that: “Selectively domestic”- YES. Exaaaactly how I am! Have fun at build-a-bear! I’m sure she’s SO excited!! :)
xo
yay for rain! I feel like I should probably do a little organizing myself…thanks for reminding me ;)
have a good weekend!
Happy weekend, Kelli!! Good luck on the organizing- you’ll feel so great afterward! :)
xo
Oh my gosh, I cannnnnot believe that you only have about 10 weeks to go! That’s nuts! It went by so fast… for me. Haha!
I. KNOW. I can’t believe it. Only slightly freaking out. ;)

Aw City And Colour is one of my favorite bands! I use to be obsessed with that song back in the day too, haha. Right now I’m really loving Kasey Musgraves, even though normally I can’t stand country!
I’ve only heard one song by Kasey Musgraves (the one on the radio) and I love it! I should probably listen to more… And yay for City and Colour! I just love their mellow vibe. So good to listen to and calm yourself. <3

Oooh I remember one day when I was like, 38 weeks pregnant I just got this HUGE urge to completely rearrange all the furniture in our house and the husband wasn’t home (and you know, it JUST COULDN’T WAIT)… so my huge whale of a self moved it. ALL of it. And when Mike got home he totally had a panic attack! He thought I would send myself into labor or something. He should have known that was the point of trying ;)
And I’d take rain over snow any day… So sick of this crappy cold!
Ahahaha I love it! We totally get this notion that we are SUPERWOMAN and can do everything ourselves. I told Zack I feel kind of bad, because this weekend has been me suggesting we do something in one room, and then it ends up being basically just him doing everything. :/ Oops.

Super cute look! I dig the glasses.
I’m okay when it comes to being domestic. I’ve definitely become more domestic since Chris and I moved in together. I’m pretty good with cooking and cleaning, but I for sure want to be awesome at both by the time we have kids. :)
What a great song! Thanks for sharing, lady! I need a new song to be obsessed with ;)
Have you heard The Man by Aloe Blacc? Or any song by him? He is amazing. And I have been really obsessed with All Too Well by Taylor Swift. That song just understands me and so I listen to it a ton.
Glasses look good on you.
