Looking for clues


By Kristy A. Bennett - Posted on 09 February 2010

So, what do you blog about when you are not, generally, online - at least not in a browsing kind of way and you are mostly doing the routine bits and bobs of life and nothing of particular note is really crossing your path?

Crap, I don't know either and even when people call me and ask what I am up to the most interesting answer I can give them is 'nesting'. Yes, my life has seemingly been so mundane that my Facebook status updates have revolved around nesting habits. Yep, they read as:

Signs of Nesting

#1: Cleans the living areas to the standard of 'impeccable' by staying up until 3am on the day of a social gathering.
#2: Spends an hour a day focussed on the garden because you can.
#3: Still wanting to deal with body clutter and gets frustrated when the personal trainer says 'No, You are too far gone for me to train you now!'
#4: The plastic cupboard is clean, tidy and ordered. (There is cranky pantsing over an orange sandwich keeper that did not come home from Kindy last year).
#5: New dragonfly tea set and some beautiful white tea ordered from Adore Tea just for oneself.

I must add here that the tea set and tea will arrive with my 'reserved items' of pink floral quilted bed covers and two dresses for baby from Carlee and Little Rooms by Carlee).

#6: All the linen in the house, baby relevant or not, has been washed.
#7: Foot spa is actually being used!
#8: Spends 4 days offline because we are distracted by housework.
#9: Has organised *brand spanking new* linen for baby's room. Now to wait for it to arrive!

Yes, this is separate to the order from Carlee - this is a result of a LLL party. In addition to sheets, we got the burano quilt cover set as well as a king size harmony quilt. Now the question is, do you know what a harmony quilt is? Answer:

"Everyone has different warmth needs when sleeping & a “one weight” quilt doesn't always suit 2 people. Our exclusive Harmony quilt is the ideal solution , with 1/2 of the quilt comprising a 480 gsm polyester fill for those who feel the cold & the other 1/2 is a lighter 240 gsm fill, for those who don’t want the extra warmth."

Pretty nifty, eh?

Continuing on...

#10: All household bills are paid and up to date! :)
#11: The diary is actually being used as a diary!

Yes, the paper variety - my brain is fudge.

#11: Bible study devotion is thought out before the morning it is presented.
#13: Using the same number twice in a row because focus is on productivity not accuracy.
#14: White tea from http://adoretea.com.au conquers all - even allowing people who jab you in a painful butt nerve to continue to live.

What can I say - sciatic pain is, well, a pain!

#15: Expending 12 meters of LetraTag tape to label the spine of every children's fiction book in the house with the Author's Surname Initial and then ordering them on the bookshelf.

Yes, my home birth midwife is probably right - it is a bit obsessive compulsive.

#16: Anyone and everyone is being grouched at for not pulling their weight. I am too pregnant to nest as much as I have been!

Okay, so maybe life has not been totally mundane but rather has been sufficiently boring to warrant me spending way too much money on bedding for our home, cleaning like no tomorrow and having a 'gut-ache' at anyone who appears to be less productive than this heavily pregnant mumma. Welcome to the final weeks of pregnancy!
