Now for buying stuff...

See, I can do this frequent posting thing, really I can!

Travis and I went shopping this afternoon, and after months of research and procrastination (mostly the latter) we made the big splurge and bought a new gas stove. I've filled the house with smoke too many times using my electric cooktop, and I just lacked the patience to ever think that a stove set to "high" wouldn't even sizzle until it was good and ready, not to mention all the things I've melted because the burner was off but still hot. I can't say this will make me a better cook, but perhaps a less frustrated one.

With the purchase made and delivery scheduled, we actually had the nerve to stop through the baby furniture section of the store. I didn't know that they don't sell cribs with the drop-down side anymore. That store's selection consisted of white, light wood finish and dark wood finish, so I decided to start looking on eBay and Craigslist for baby furniture. They apparently still do sell cribs with the drop-down sides. So it appears I am faced with my first test of "If you really love your baby you'll spend lots more than is first apparently necessary." My answer for the time being is:

Baby, you're the size of a raspberry right now (upgraded overnight, it seems). You don't need no stinkin crib or high chair or car seat/stroller/casserole-covering nursery on wheels yet!

*phew* Procrastination saves the day yet again.
