On to stage two

I'm soooooo happy to be done with Camelot! I really came to like the show, but now I can focus on getting things ready for Baby. It could be as early as this weekend! I'll find out at my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Stay tuned to My Belly blog for more info!

I went for a fabulous (and cheap--double fabulous) meal at A-Dong Vietnamese restaurant in Des Moines with most of the orchestra and a couple of cast members in between shows yesterday. I sat across from "Lancelot"--Matt Bogart. Very nice guy. We in the pit couldn't see a single thing, but his voice is great, and he sounded like a terrific comedic actor in the right situations. During the last show last night, I switched places with the conductor to watch part of a long dialogue scene. He was perfect for the part. (And pretty easy on the eyes too!)

Anyway, now I have time to lay on the couch! I started getting a sore throat on Friday, a runny nose on Saturday, and a cough yesterday. Today, I have all three and some stuffiness and aches. Ugh. I can at least stay home today and recover from this cold. I guess the timing is good!

I'm on Dave's computer now, but he's going to steal it away to go back to work. Our laptop is being fixed. No internet contact from me for a few days! Bye bye!

OK, I admit it

I've joined Facebook, and it's fun. I still vow not to become addicted though! And I will not abandon my blogs. There just isn't the same kind of ability on Facebook to do this--at least I don't know how.

Early morning (6:45am--people with children already, or day jobs, don't tell me to get used to it...just let me sleep for another 4 months) for a doctor's appointment in West Des Moines (35 minutes away). There Dave and I were told we did not have TB. That's good to know. We had physicals on Monday for our greencard applications, and since I'm pregnant, I didn't have to get any immunizations or x-rays, which saved us big $$$. Still, with the two of us, we had to shell out more than $900--none of it covered by insurance. This is why we're not getting new carpet this year.

We're going to Des Moines Metro Opera's performance of Verdi's Otello tonight. Part of our anniversary present to each other. If I'm going to stay awake, I'm going to have to take a nap!

Food Pyramid

The US government is good for something...

Here is a free service to help you keep track of your diet and exercise, helping you make informed choices based on your individual needs. You have to create an account--it is free though. I've been keeping a food journal for sometime now, but this seems even easier! I'm also going to print up their food pyramid and put it on my fridge.

I'm heading to the gym now. Have a healthy weekend!
