I miss school.
I miss writing papers, reading articles, listening to the comments of annoying fellow students who believe they have to answer every question so that the professor is impressed, and actually feeling like I am somewhat smart. Without school my brain is withering away. I have a combination of pregnancy brain and school withdrawals--not good. So if I ever seem a little spacey or in another world when your talking to me, that's probably because I am. I apologize.
In order to somewhat help solve this problem i've decided to learn a new word each week. At first I signed up for a daily email that contained a new and interesting word but that was too overwhelming for me. I can't handle learning one new word a day. One new word per week sounds much better for my diminishing brain. The word for this week is:
Sensational-adj.1.of or relating to the senses. 2.exceedingly great, outstanding. 3.arousing strong feelings, intense interest, often in an exaggerated way.
Your probably thinking that this isn't that cool of a word because it is quite common and easily understood but I decided I want to incorporate it into my vocabulary more. So there you have it, sensational.
Not only am I going to learn a new word each week but my big sis and I have started a book club, it's kind of a big deal. This month we are reading "Black Like Me" by John Howard Griffin.
I'm only into the first 50 pages so far but I absolutely love it. I highly recommend this book. This book is about a reporters real-life experience with the south in the 1960's. He goes through skin treatments to turn his skin black in order to fully experience the life of a black man in the south. People, this was only fifty years ago--you will be stunned when you read about what he went through. Stunned.
I am now only down to 23 days until D Day. Yes, delivery day. It doesn't seem that long but I can't imagine my tummy getting any bigger, I feel like I might explode. Baby boy will be here soon though and I can't wait to meet him!
Have a sensational weekend now:)
Pretty sure i've been done with the book now for two weeks. I think once D day comes I'll get more reading out of you. You can read a lot while baby boy nurses....Have a sensational weekend my love! p.s. your brain will only get worse
