Due Date, Plus 4

So, it's 4 days past our due date... and we're still waiting to see when our baby girl will come.

You're probably wondering what we (ok, mostly just me... since Ian continues to do what he always does - go to school, teach classes and work on his dissertation - work as usual for him) are doing. Well one of the things I've spent a considerable amount of time doing (and it's starting to wear on me) is go through the voter registration stuff. Man, what A LOT of info. Ian and I shared some "reading" responsibilities a couple weeks back in going over all the propositions and some of the candidates statements... but we still had half of the candidates to "research" (because no or little info was given on them) and all the justices to go over. So, after several hours of googling today... I think I'm ALMOST done. This is probably not what you thought I was doing, huh? It's not exactly something I'm finding fun, either... but to be an informed voter I feel like it's only part of my right and responsibility. (oh, I should mention I'm doing this now because I want to finish filling out my absentee ballot and mail it ASAP. I already know voting will be the last thing on my mind come November 7th... I'll probably be barely able to stay awake and sane with the responsibilities of a new mom.)

Next on my list of things I will do - Hand address all the handmade announcement cards (to be finished when baby girl spencer is born and we have a name and picture to go on them) that will be sent out post birth. Really, I could easily go out and buy computer labels, but I figure "I got the time!!" At least none of these things are actually driving me crazy (yet) and it's keeping me from going out of my mind sitting at home. (Oh and I did get some laundry done today too. But really, I just sound more productive than I actually have been.)
