Nesting:preparing for my little bird

If you know me well, you know that I'm not a very organized person.  That's not to say that I don't love the idea of being organized because I can highlight, post it, and *star* the HELL out of a day planner...but never look at it again after the first attempt.  I guess now, with only 6 weeks left until I become a mommy, I have an urgent need to get organized and ready and have things PERFECT. 
As far as the nursery goes I don't have much left to complete. All of the furniture and necesseties have been purchased and put together with the exception of the changing table (which comes with an instruction manual resembling the math section of the ACT) and the glider. The last things I need to do are to paint a picture to go above her crib, fill frames and hang pictures, and hang some shelves on one of the walls. 

One of the most IMPORTANT and CRUCIAL things I wanted to get done before Charlies arrival is to tend to my car.  My mother refers to my car as "the battlewagon" considering all four sides sport a beautiful dent, scratch, and/or bang, my passenger side mirror is hanging by a wire and has been for 2 years, everything under the hood makes a strange noise and not to MENTION the interior.  Did I mention that I drive a 2005 fully loaded Honda Accord?  Did I mention that it was bought BRAND SPANKING NEW  and I have ragged it to the full extent throughout my 'college' years(I'm very ashamed of not taking care of such a nice graduation gift).  Needless to say, it wasn't in any condition to serve as transportation with a baby.  Yesterday we dropped the ol' gal off at the dealership and *big sigh*...it is FINALLY getting put back together! I even ordered brand new floor mats and look forward to getting the interior all cleaned and detailed before putting them in.

Only 6 weeks until Charlie arrives and I can honestly say I'm proud of my ability to be getting things done with success!!!

Check back with me this afternoon for more blog and some pics of the nursery!!
