Michele, yes, we are expecting identical girls. We haven't quite finished picking out names yet but we're down to about 10 names to choose first and middle from, with three frontrunners for first names. We probably won't announce their names until they are actually born in any case.
Bill, reading your post makes me miss the days when I was in grad school and I walked to the gym on the way to or from school.
Saef, well, at least you got a clean apartment for free, right?
My mom does dishes when she's at our house but that's about it. MIL has on occasion offered to send her housekeeper to our house.
I can't help remembering the time that DH was shocked to learn that many people vacuum once a week, because he had no memories of vacuuming as a kid. Obviously, because he had a housekeeper to do it for him!
We only vacuum once every month or two. I am a terrible housekeeper. I've been noticing lately how dusty our window treatments are, but the idea of doing anything about it is overwhelming and I don't really care that much.
Becky, sounds like your DH and DS have spring fever for gardening! DH used to be super-into gardening but had a couple years of disappointing yields and decided it was too much work. Plus, the room that he grew seedlings and houseplants in has been turned into our nursery.
I suggested to MIL that if she wants to help out around our house once the babies are born that she could do our yardwork (she is also big into gardening).
My best luck with capris has been in the petites section of Ann Taylor Loft. Non-petite capris are just too long for my short legs and end up looking more like I bought pants that were a couple inches too short.
You can't really hem them up because then the proportions are wrong.
My dog's fur shows on black and on white, but I never wear white pants in any case. I've avoided them ever since a somewhat traumatic incident with white pants and unexpected TOM when I was 12.
I occasionally will wear a white skirt but they get dirty so quickly it doesn't seem worth the bother.
My coworker has a candy dish that has been empty for months and therefore not tempting. Today he's filled it up with leftover easter candy. Too bad I have to walk by it to get to the fridge and the water fountain.
