In other news, I had to go to the DMV this week to renew my driver's license and to pay the past due registration for the car that stopped running (so we can donate it to the Jane Goodall Institute). I haven't been since I got married (six years, in case you were wondering), and the California DMV has a new system where you get assigned a number and then just wait until the computer calls your number. Because it's a letter/number combination, it feels a whole lot like some institutional un-fun form of bingo. But, at 8.75 months pregnant, I was rather glad to get to sit and wait, rather than stand in line. I have to say also, that to their credit, the people were all (mostly) nice, and I did get done in just under an hour. Since R had Peanut, I was actually looking forward to the wait, so I could make some knitting progress on my socks. Here they are so far:
The wait didn't end up being that long, so I was a little weirdly disappointed that the wait at the DMV wasn't longer. I know, I know.
In other news, I found out on Wednesday that the doctor's office messed up and didn't schedule my c-section on the date they told me they would (I picked December 22nd). The best part is that it isn't fixable- the hospital has no openings now during that WHOLE WEEK. So, instead of celebrating the holidays with my new baby, I will be too pregnant to move. They have me on December 30th, instead. So now I will be spending New Years in the maternity ward. (Unless the gods of childbirth would like to have me go into labor on my own so I can have my c-section early...)
I also finished knitting a cashmere scarf for my girlfriend. Knitting with cashmere makes me wish that everything was made out of cashmere. Most rich-people accoutrements mean very little to me, but a closet full of cashmere? I wouldn't say no to it. Here's the scarf:
More holiday knitting in my future, interspersed with some baby knitting....

Well it seems that CA Dmv has done something right for a change! They did get rid of some of their staff so divine intervention had to occur.
Sorry to hear about the move of the date. I'll be out of town by then but I hope you don't spend 2009 in the hospital.
