HOT DOG CART SHOWROOM

It's definitely a girl. She weighs almost two pounds already. She looks just like she will look, only extra small. We saw her open eyes on the ultrasound today. Unfortunately we forgot our camera. She was sucking on her umbilical cord, waving her hands, kicking and hiccuping. Her head isn't abnormally huge like I suspected. She is probably ten inches long. That's about as much as I can say about what she's up to.

I went for a hike in Dreamy Draw park on Sunday - look how green it was! Yellow and Purple flowers were everywhere! I can't wait to have Spring Break next week. I plan on being outside all day long every day, before it gets too hot. Red Mountain in Mesa is gorgeous this time of year, but there was such strange traffic getting home from there. There were people running a marathon on Power Rd/Bush Hwy with no shoulder to run on. I was scared someone would faint in front of our car.

Nothing is new, really. We both get home late each night, eat dinner, and go to sleep earlier and earlier. We watched a few interesting movies in the past few weeks: Metropolitan, A Room with a View, Moonstone...though I don't highly recommend any of them. Casson really wants to see There Will Be Blood at the theater, but the preview scared me so I make excuses why we can't go. I'm sure he'll go see it on his own. He really doesn't mind going to the movies by himself.

Stores in a small strip just across the street from us: HOT DOG CART SHOWROOM, TRACKS IN WAX RECORD SHOP, THE FLIGHT OF PHOENIX EXOTIC BIRD STORE, and our very own PSYCHIC. These stores are what divide the super beautiful campus of the Jesuit private school from the nasty painted brick Central High School...why would they build them that close together? Anyways, I still love the neighborhood where we live... we saw the price on a one story, little, plain, square house just down the street from us... 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, super tiny everything (we looked in), all for a mere 340,000. There aren't even trees in the yard! How can anyone buy a house right now? Could you possibly ask that much just because you renovated the kitchen recently? Casson says we should go offer them 180, just so they get an idea of the ridiculousness of it all.
