Gluttony is a sin for a reason

This past Friday I "forced" John to take me to our favorite restaurant, Super China Buffet. Being an all you can eat buffet, I ate all I could eat, waited, then ate more (plus dessert). I didn't think it would be a problem, after all I'm almost 8 months pregnant and if a pregnant woman can't eat a bunch of Chinese food, then who can? I quickly found out I was wrong. We ate so much that we had to walk it off. We chose to go to Circuit City and said, "we won't buy anything, even if it's clearance". Naturally, we were wrong. Walking around w/ movies didn't really help my over-eating. That night was the first night I've not been able to sleep b/c I ate too much. John had a bad night as well. Of course, our little girl decided to throw a party @ 3am that night, too.

Another exciting bit of news: I have a bathroom shower now! We've lived in our house for 3 yrs now w/ just a bathtub. Living in an old house gives you all kinds of exciting experiences (like how the creaking and settling can sound exactly like someone walking around your house @ midnight), so getting used to a bathtub was one I got used to. I wanted a shower, but other things were more important (like fixing the leak in our roof).

When I became pregnant, getting a shower was moved up to the top of our list. I would eventually get so big I wouldn't be able to get up under my own power (it happens sometimes now and John laughs, hard, as he helps me up). B/c I have a wonderful hardworking husband, he started working on it. He had it all planned out and we thought it would only take a weekend, 2 @ most to get the shower up and working. Life doesn't always go according to plan, unfortunately and we had some setbacks w/ our shower. Luckily, we have good friends and family who are able to help John out when I can't (which for this project is almost everything). I was very excited to take a shower this morning instead of a bath. It also took us less time/water for the both of us to get ready for church this morning.

I do love my hardworking handy man!
