Oh, things.

Almost two weeks ago, Khristina and I visited the kimono exhibit. We weren't allowed to take pictures of the actual exhibit, so luckily they had three kimonos for on sale in the gift shop that we took pictures of. I am 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant in this picture. I think that I look like Tweedledee or Tweedledum with my two scrawny legs poking out from under my great, round belly.

Today I received in the mail an advertisement from Bath Fitter, telling me to get "The Bathroom That You Deserve." Until today, I didn't know that having a certain type of bathroom was based on merit. Is there something I don't know about? Do I save starving children every time I flush? Is my hairdryer a secret agent, converting my kilowatt usage into renewable energy? Very interesting.

There are three things I would like to do, I have decided. I will not do all three, at least not in the near future. I will start with one and save the rest for my second and third lives.

1) Go to grad school for dance and teach in a university
2) Go to culinary school and be a sexy chef
3) Go to massage therapy school

All three of these things I would love. Dance is a very delicious part of me. It fulfills me and makes me younger. Because of dance, I love the world more and appreciate the weaknesses and strengths of myself as well as others.

I love to cook, and to cook with finesse. Making a delicious meal that is classy and elegant (I like simplicity) is one my talents, I will admit, and I would love to be a chef at a high class restaurant. This may be best-suited for my later life, when I am older and more emboldened. Otherwise the pace of a kitchen may wear me out too quickly.

Massage therapy--I have been told by many people that I have a healing touch, and after working on someone (as a nonprofessional), I feel fulfilled. Plus, I love to learn about the body and I think that by doing massage therapy, I would learn a whole lot on a variety of levels.

Now, for the baby info: I am now 38 weeks along and he dropped 3 weeks ago. The doctor said he may come at any point, and I am well ready for him. I have been having regular contractions for over 24 hours, but so far they are painless, albeit very strong. Also, I think he has dropped once more since my pelvis feels very, very heavy.

Lastly, I will get my pre-baby body back. I know, I know. I understand that my body will not be the "same," but from a holistic perspective, the body makes great changes with each major life experience, not just childbirth. My body will find a new normal, and it will be fit, active and healthy. To all the doubters: just you wait.
