[QUOTE]Confession, I just logged onto my Netflix account and said that I mailed off a DVD and they didn't receive it. I cannot find this DVD anywhere, and TBH, I may have actually mailed it off, but regardless, I'm not paying $20 for a movie I never watched. Oops.

People still in here? I made a delicious Mediterranean salad for dinner and took a cold shower because it's still in the 80's and my house is hot.

JessAndTrav

Um, yeah they have.

They mailed me that DVD like, a year ago, and I have still been paying the extra fee to get a DVD and the Instant, so Netflix can bite me.

I just figured while I've got some down time, I may as well watch a few of the billion movies in my DVD Queue.

Selfish-Moment Sidenote: It's been a while since I looked at our wedding pictures, and my current signature makes my heart happy.

Jess, I just started adding a bunch of movies to my instant queue because I'm home alone and bored so often. And, I just started Crossing Jordan which is good so far.

I've been wanting to start <em>Mad Men</em>, but I haven't had a moment where I'm not like, ADD.

Erin - that salad sounds delicious. And my mom used to watch Crossing Jordan, she liked it a lot. 

Jess - that's sweet : )

ErinG93

I'm trying to work my way through some supposedly great off the beaten path type movies. We'll see. I had to stop half way through one of the movies because I kept falling asleep. 

pokepoke27

A movie I can't get off my mind is Hard Candy. I really liked it, but it was a little disturbing.

I just have the netflix instant stream.  When I used to get the DVDs I never watched them and forgot about them

<div>What's that about?</div>

JessAndTrav

I was just checking my junk email account, and got notified that the glider we ordered for the nursery last night is already on it's way here, and according to the UPS tracking, it should be here tomorrow or Friday, and now I'm stupid-excited.

I'm one of those people now, y'all.

You just reminded me that my target order SHOULD arrive tomorrow. Squee : )

What is your nursery going to look like? I like hearing details like that.

Oh I love hearing anything about babies!

Well, our lease is up in November, so we'll be moving, so I have to wait to do the full blown nursery, but I'm obsessive and will do it as best I can for the two months we have here after the baby arrives.

Here's the crib, pardon the styrophome in the backgound. We had just finished assembling it. The yellow wall will not reappear int he new place.

Here's the glider we ordered:

The baby's mobile that matches the baby's bedding:

The nursery set, but the picture kind of sucks:

I want the lamp too, of course:

I have 3 of these mirrors that I'm going incorporate:

The dresser/changing table that we're using is a hand-me-down, but we don't have it yet because we need to paint it first. Sorry to disappoint in that category.

I want to have his name above the crib somehow, but I haven't decided how just yet.

I also bought this to have hanging decoratively:

And now  you're probably thinking, "I'm sorry I asked!"

ErinG93

That's a really pretty nursery set. I like that crib. What a bummer that you'll be moving so soon after Nathan comes.

sarabear23

Cute nursrey stuff!

JessAndTrav

I know, but it'll be good, because we only have 2 bedrooms as of now, so to move into a 3br will be SO much nicer!

I LOVE the crib so much. I like that it has wider slats. I like little details like that.

I'm developing a trend of picking out things that are getting discontinued, but getting lucking in getting them anyway.

The original bedding set I picked had been discontinued, but was still advertised online, (why?! it's so stupid!)

Then Target quit carrying the crib in Houston. Thankfully, my SIL went to visit her sister in Dallas, and they went to Target and found it, so they bought it and brought it to me.

And the glider...yep. Discontinued as well, but I was able to get one ordered just in time.

pokepoke27

OMG Jess I love it! You said that the yellow wall wont' be there when you move - do you have a color you are going to paint it? 

Also, you should do wall decals for baby Nathan's name. 

Here are some examples (clicky)

JessAndTrav

It depends on where we move, I guess, and if they allow paint. We're looking at rent-houses or some townhomes in this great neighborhood. I'd probably be dull though and just do a beigy color, and maybe one wall accented with a color from the bedding.

I haven't decided yet!

pokepoke27

Eeep, that's exciting. I love the accent wall. Too bad H really dislikes it. 

sarabear23

Jess and Poke, love the new pictures!

amorg334

Oh all of that is so cute 

JessAndTrav

The decals are such a cute idea! BabiesRus has a set of decals that go with the nursery...maybe I'll put those with his name in the middle!

JessAndTrav

Thanks, ladies! It's funny that y'all asked about it, because I was thinking about bringing up stuff about the nursery anyway!

Thankfully, H is used to the accent wall. That's what we have in our apartment now. The yellow wall in the 2nd bedroom is just an accent wall, in our bedroom it's red, in our bathroom there's a dark purple, and in our living room there's a brown wall (that came with the apartment but matched our stuff) and a green one.

In case you haven't noticed by the furniture for the baby's room, I like dark furniture and then pops of color in the accents.

ETA: The bolded. I typed it before and I think I erased it on accident.
