It is 4:40 AM. I have to be up in 2 hours and 20 minutes. (Well, technically, I don’t have to be out the door until 8:30, but if I get there early today, I can leave early too).
My brain won’t shut off. I was asleep until Gene came to bed and we talked about his problem call at work and another topic and then Gene rolled over and went to bed, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Tomorrow after work, we’re going to lunch (Mmm, Qdoba again – minus the tortilla and the rice it’s actually pretty good for you), then I’m going to go to the fancy baby store to measure stuff. I told Gene that the Baby’s Dream website doesn’t include dimensions.
(Huh. I just ventured back over there and huh. Now it does. Except for the cribs. But those are all a uniform size, right?)
(BTW, can we all just agree that the company should be called “Loony Parent’s Dream”? Let’s be honest, babies can sleep in dresser drawers if they had to, and if babies dream, it’s not about furniture).
So I’m daydreaming (nightdreaming?) about going to this store. I’d previously made this a “Look on the outside but don’t go in until you’re really pg” thing but (REALLY) Gene encouraged me to go look and measure stuff.
I AM NOT making that up!
We’re trying to figure out which bedroom to make the nursery and measurements would help.
So back to my day dream. By this point I’m getting all Walter Mitty. Mmm, and while I’m there, maybe they’ll be hiring. Mmm. And then I imagined how good I’d be at this (seriously, I’ve daydreamed that part before). Maybe part of the interview they’d ask me to try to “sell” them something. Ooh, what would I do? I know! The such-and-such stroller! Ooh, one handed steer! Ooh, infant recline! Ooh, the infant seat fits inside the stroller! Ooh, the same company makes a bigger version with a reversible handle! Your baby can face you! For $80 more! Ooh, commission! (Let’s not point out that the bigger version is more prone to breaking!) Ooh, slices and dices and even makes julienne fries!
That’s when I jumped out of bed and said “Time to get out of bed and blog.”
So here I am.
