So I wasn't going to post today because not a whole lot has changed from yesterday to today, but then I realized something that I think is pretty freaking amazing. Or maybe just cool...
Today, on 9/9/9 I'm 22 weeks and 2 days along! I love symmetry. Sometimes Matt thinks I'm OCD about symmetrical numbers (maybe I was dropped on the head too many times as a baby and have some problems that are presenting themselves through my love for palindromes...who knows??) but it's very exciting to me, at any rate. I love when the odometer on the car is a palindrome, like when it says 181181 or 127721 (for the total number of kilometres we've put on our car, for those of you who don't know what an odometer is!) So I felt the need to make a note of how cool it is that on this wonderfully symmetrical date, the baby too is feeling pretty symmetrical! Well, sort of. At least, I hope he's symmetrical. 10 fingers, 10 toes, no funny growths and stuff like that.
And, speaking of symmetry, I remember in my highschool philosophy class we were talking about what makes something beautiful, and apparently people who are deemed attractive or beautiful also have symmetrical faces. So it's not just me! I think maybe the reason our skin isn't clear is because our insides are totally not symmetrical. We only have one heart, and it's not even in the middle of the body. And have you ever seen the shape of a liver? Bleh, it's all weird and pointy at one end and rounded on another, and the curves definitely are not symmetrical. See? Clear skin would never work for the whole beauty thing. Think about it.
Anyway, I'm not feeling so melancholy today as I was yesterday, so life has gone back to being my friend. Creme brulee helped, as did cleaning out and organizing the baby's closet. It looks pretty great, and tonight Matt and I are going to paint the room because soon we'll have the furniture done being finished and it'll be in there too (and it'll be easier to paint without the furniture.)
So there, that's all that's new since yesterday. May my life continue to be so very mundane!
