The mother and a few of the friends have asked about a baby registry. I have to say that I am less than thrilled at the thought of looking through baby items. Most expectant mothers are elated for that sort of task but not I. I find shopping utterly boring and when I look around my home and see a billion things cluttering each room, the thought of registering for more things, no matter how needed or mighty useful they would be, overwhelms me.

I am hoping against hope that the nesting thing will kick in during this pregnancy. It didn't the first time around. But this time I am uber sensitive to gore (murdering cockroaches, cat vomit, the litterbox), sad movie previews (I cried at The Pursuit of Happyness preview), inspiring moments in sports history (don't ask!) and Air Supply.

Yeah, bad news.

So perhaps this time I will actually get that nesting thing, clean out my house and be eager to accept new clutter in my home. Ah, I think I will list more items on Freecycle so that I feel good about sharing my clutter with someone else.

I'll get on that after I take a nap.
