Some things I have been enjoying lately:
1. spicy, spicy food (thai, mexican, chinese with spicy sczechuan sauce, you name it!)
2. movies

This has hit my favorites list.
I love the friendships, and just girl time.
The sense of culture and adventure while still having roots.
I rented it on itunes and watched it twice in the 24 hours.
Again, I liked Lena's character the best, and
would love to style my hair like hers sometime
in the near future... dot dot dot.
(I will soon share pictures of my favorite movie hairdos)

interesting movie, I liked Meg Ryan's character a lot,
even though what a situation she was put in, and
I forgot to realize that I hadn't seen one male
in the whole film until the very last
scene.. and even then,
it was a baby.

I know, I'm a little late.
But I loved it as much as everyone said I would.
The aesthetics they let the music have were fantastical.
The way they portrayed the little boy being able to play his instruments
was beautiful, and inspirational.
Sorry if you think I'm a corny movie-lover.
I am. I know.

I don't think I've already mentioned this one yet.
Beautifully made film. It is a hard movie, but very well done.
With every horrible situation she is put in,
she does the commendable act... almost every situation.
Georgiana is portrayed as a woman of strong character and drive,
with maternal instincts stronger than everything else.
If you're up for the tears, I recommend this film!

This was a difficult movie to stomach.
The entire time, you know how the real ending goes,
and it makes you sick
thinking of how brave these men must have been.
What a scary time this was for the Germans who did not agree,
and for those who were not thought of as agreeable.
*no, I haven't watched all these movies in the last week,
more like in the past 3 months! But enjoyed nevertheless.
3. walking. Walking at work, about 11-13 miles a day have really helped me not feel sick. Though I am always nibbling and taking 3-minute breaks every now and then, I have been feeling so much better since walking so much all day, every day. Nights are still difficult, but not too bad.
4. sleep. ah! it's 8:30 already? I'm off to get ready for some more sleep. Oh, and the dreams are insane. I already dreamt abnormal amounts, but now it's just crazy.
Thanks for everyone's comments my last couple posts. I appreciate all the tips and clues. I had my first appt last week and got to see the "little wiggler" on the monitor. So crazy! Heart rate is 180 - strong and fast! This is such a surreal experience. D-Day: August 17th, the day after Mark's birthday. He's pretty thrilled.
