Even with the power being out at my mom's house, I was able to help her buy her plane ticket to come to Denver for the baby's birth! I called her this morning and the power was still out (I think this is going on 2 days now) and the crappy thing about not having any power...you can't really take a shower (as you need electricity to light the pilot light that lights the hot water heater)...so she was going to boil some water on the gas range (at least you can manually light the burners on that) and take a bath. My poor mommy :(

Anyway, back to the plane tickets. She's going to be here on January 10th (a Wednesday) at about 7pm. I'm so excited about that! I just hope that the baby doesn't get any ideas and decides that he wants to be born more than a week early! I think with my mom here, I can do anything! There's only so much Brian can do for me and I really could use my mom for support, so I'm hoping he holds in there at least until after my mom gets here.

Brian and I are going to go Christmas shopping after he gets off work tonight. He gets off at 5pm and we've got to go shopping for his mom, his best friend Jaysun, and then his uncles. I think while we're out, we're going to go get the stroller/car seat for the car because they won't let us take the baby home from the hospital without a car seat and we still don't have that (I KNOW...Brian and I are the King and Queen of procrastination). I have an idea of what we should get his uncles since one lives in Oregon and the other one lives here...I'm going to run by Brian the idea of gift cards or something along that line. At least with a gift card, they'll send light in the mail and then they can get what they want with them.

But yeah...other than that, today has been/is going to be a lazy day. I got up this morning and listened to VNV Nation while I played World of Warcraft for a little bit. Brian was right...the music does go well with the game. I got bored with that quick though, so now I just want to go somewhere.

We might go see Eragon tonight after we're done with all the shopping. Brian read the book in about 3 days and he loves it...so the movie looks pretty good too.

Okay...now that I've randomly jumped all over the day, I think I'll leave it at that.

If I were having a kid, I kinda doubt I'd invite my parents over to be around.

I bet the kid that wrote Eragon is rich now, but I haven't heard anything good about it. The previews look nice, though

I haven't read Eragon but the movie looked like crap to me... no offense.

I'm pretty sure arm warmers are supposed to keep your arms warm. You know, like leggings... except... for arms. Armings? :P

I'm sorry about your mom having to use stove-heated water to bathe. I don't know how I'd be able to go without hot water for more than a day.
I haven't seen too many previews for Eragon, but I doubt I'd go see it anyway. Maybe when it comes out on DVD.

Ahhh I feel your mom's pain...
...we got caught in the storm too, but I think the pudget sound area had it worse than seattle, just cuz they got their power back a few days before we did. Blegh. That was the biggest storm I've seen in a while, and the first time the power's gone out in years. The damage was terrible...glad shes ok.

Hmm...I read the Eragon books. I liked it the first time, but the second time I read it (both of them, actually), they just seemed less exciting or something. Like I could tell it was written by someone younger. I dunno, maybe I'm just growing out of the series. I did that for Harry Potter too...although I won't deny I'd like to see some of the things that happen in the book brought to life on the silver screen. I'd go into more detail but that would just spoil things :)
