We actually went to the movie theater

We saw Taken this weekend (with Liam Neeson). Very much enjoyed it, although watching a film about one's daughter being kidnapped is not very wise when pregnant. Liam Neeson makes one heck of a good guy.

I think I had a topic in mind when I signed into blogger. I have completely forgotten it. I blame waking up at 3 a.m. and not being able to fall back asleep. I got quite a bit done, but without being able to consume an entire vat of coffee my head just is not functioning. Only one class today. I think I can make it.

Damm decided to change his major to history. He was a bit concerned that this would engender competition betwixt us but his interests really are not the same as mine. So once we get past the basic core classes we should be fine. And I think we'll avoid taking history classes together. He learns so differently than I do it ain't funny. And makes it so not fun to study together ......

I think we've decided to not find out what baby #2 is going to be. Of course, it's easy to say that-I haven't been confronted with an ultrasound yet and asked if I want to know. Damm doesn't want to know, and it would be hard for me to keep that secret ... so we'll see.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
