Nesting

There are two kinds of nesting: gathering essentials for the nest and the general instinct to get random things done. Up to this point, I'd say I've been nesting in the former category (if at all). Mostly I've just been researching online like crazy to make sure I get good quality essentials for the nursery. 

However, on Friday I fell prey to the second nesting category: I organized our receipts. We've been shoving them into a file or a grocery bag for the past six months, and it was getting out of hand. So I went through and organized the receipts by month, putting each stack in an envelope and filing them away. As I went through them, it was fun to remember everything that's happened over the past six months. Like how I ate out for the month of May, because I had morning sickness and usually didn't want anything we had at home when I was actually up to eating. Or how we went out to Brick Oven on our birthdays. I saw the receipts from our trip to Oregon and all the places we went there. I found receipts for wedding gifts, frozen yogurt runs, and random shopping trips. It was almost like flipping through a journal, in a way. 

Rhetorically,
