The days are sneaking by us and here we are with but six weeks left until the arrival of our next child. This realization spurred the preparation of Abby's new room yesterday evening. The idea is to get Abby accustomed to if not, moved into her new room before the arrival of her new sibling. This way it isn't so traumatic having a strange baby stealing her crib and her room and her mom.

Abby's new room was formerly the office. The contents of the office have either been thrown out or moved downstairs. It was surprising to see how much had accumulated since we moved into the house. We gave a lot of clothes and some other unused items to thrift stores during The Great Purge. I think there will be another mini purge of items I can't find room for downstairs.

I feel better now that the bed is actually set up in the room. Now Julene can get started on moving things in. And I can assemble the Ikea dresser.

February 13th, 2009 16:31:30 MST will be 1234567890 Unix time.

If anyone cares...

Edit: If we were real geeks, we would have a Unix themed party about this time. Perfect time to go for beers on a Friday.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? It has to have had.

You go out and buy a cool pair of shoes. 1 year later, the laces start becoming frayed and eventually break. No problem, you go to a shoe store to get some replacement laces, except that once you get there you realize that they only carry white, black and one shade of brown. After visiting a couple more stores you find that they all seem to stock the same 3 colors. So now your cool shoes are rendered uncool with unmatched laces or you buy new shoes.

Anybody know of where to find a big variety of shoelaces?
