Nesting
is a real disease. I can vouch for it.
The
need to purchase items and get everything in order before the baby shows its
head can be very consuming.
I’m
not sure that I am an average nester however.
My
purchases have been a little odd, to say the least.
Of
note are:
- 2
x leadlight lamps in the shape of the
- A copy of Better Homes and Gardens magazine (I don’t home or garden)
- A new pillow for a side sleeper (I am not one)
- A set of lemon-coloured towels with owls embroidered on them
- A calligraphy book
- A wrist watch in the shape of a love heart
- Slippers in three different colours, blue, green and pink, so that I can co-ordinate footwear to my sleepwear outfits
- Ten blocks of Cadbury Chocolate Mousse family blocks (they were going out for 99 cents each)
- Photo frames that light up and flash in various colours
- Strawberry muffin mix and a mousse tube of that fake pink 'frosting'
- A silver pedestal bin for every room in the house
- A blue fitness ball (If I ever run out of seating, it can be a quick fix for visitors)
- Birthday cards for the next six months’ worth of friends’ birthdays (and I have labeled who is receiving what)
- 48 rolls of toilet paper
- Sample pots of paint in beige, dusky pink and midnight blue, as they were $2 each
- An Elvis CD
- The same breastfeeding top in various sizes because I don’t know how large I will be post-labour
- A telephone address book – I’ll need to handwrite everyone’s details in
- A pair of hot pink sunglasses
- A set of red cocktail glasses etched with snowflakes (50% off)
- Eye-shadow in vivid electric blue and yellow (in case I am ever invited to an 80's party)
- A book of ‘puppy’ stickers
- Linda McCartney frozen meals – six in the same flavour: wild mushroom pie
- A really sad fairy tale book about a hungry & scared cat (I could only read the last page, it was so upsetting)
- Ten tubes of toothpaste as they were 20% off at Coles
- Walking trail maps of the Hills
- A bottle of Strega liqueur (I've never tried it)
- Four different night-lights so that I can chop and change between Mr Lion, Mr Penguin, Mr Frog and Mr Elephant
- Foot mats for every outside door
- A Scandinavian-English dictionary
- … and I have also completed my Easter Egg shopping (except I might go back for the $10 Red Tulip egg)
In retrospect, I think these items will
be Kris Kringle gifts for the next 20 years…
How funny!! A Scandinavian-English Dictionary??? Is this for your penpal correspondence?
ReplyDeleteLove that you colour co-ordinate your slippers to your sleep outfits!! I don't even own a pair of slippers, I'm an all natural kinda girl!! I hate having things on my feet at home, the shoes are the first things to come off at home! Actually I am known for kicking my shoes off at work too. I also hate having my feet under the covers at night, they have to be out so they can breathe???? Lucky I live in a warm climate :)
