I'm a Caveman?! and Other Random Musings...

So, some interesting things have occurred this week.

First off, we saw Baby kicking last night. That’s right, we SAW it. It is pretty creepy, but neat at the same time. It’s like a little alien is in there…Hubby and I were lying in bed reading, and I remarked that Baby was kicking very hard. We both sort of looked at my tummy then, and we saw this little wave of movement. So strange! We both exclaimed in surprise. It’s a strange feeling, being kicked from the inside. It’s strange to know that there really is a tiny human in there.

Also, we are buying a car tonight (just don’t tell our salesman that…). After humming and hawing about it for a year or more, we finally came to a decision. Our 20 year old Honda, which we generously received for ½ a brownie (long story, but cheapest car ever!) is perhaps not the most reliable vehicle with a little one on the way. So we decided to take the plunge. We found a pretty good deal. I really felt that the whole car-buying process is a man’s job. It’s like a primal caveman thing; Men buy cars, it’s just what they do. So I kept telling Hubby that the final decision rested with him. I was just there to look pretty, and ooh and aah over the shiny new car. Maybe it’s been all the comparison crib shopping I have been doing lately, or the research on strollers, but after the meeting with the salesman, I was the one to start doing all the math and crunching the numbers. I then enlisted the help of my Dad and Uncle and started researching the price we were given, and the financing rates. So all in all, I told Hubby I think this is a good move, and came up with the negotiating plan of attack which will be implemented tonight. Hopefully it all works out according to plan! It will be the first new car either of us have ever bought. Exciting! So I guess I am the caveman this week? I think I need Hubby to bring home a big slab of meat for me to cook up in my high heels just to restore the gender-role balance in our house…

She will be mine...oh yes...

I also just want to put on record somewhere that I think the amount of snow we have been receiving this past week is obscene. Mother Nature needs to get her act together. It’s almost April for gosh sakes! Yuck.

And lastly, just wanted to mention that a screen legend passed away today. I have a large amount of love for the movies and style of the ‘50s (as most people who know me know…k, that is a strange sentence. But it makes sense…). So it was a sad day today when I heard that Elizabeth Taylor had passed away. One of my favourite movies is Cat on A Hot Tin Roof. She was such a gorgeous, talented, big-personalitied woman. Rest in Peace Miss Taylor!
