Where are they now?

If you were asking this question about Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, here's the answer:

Apparently, these two have their own advice column now through MSN where you can go an ask them about life's greatest questions. And they're going to have a reality show on A&E. Maybe I could ask them what we should name our baby?

Hiccups

The last week or so the baby has been getting hiccups a lot. At least I think that's what they are. If not, then he has an incredible sense of rhythm to his kicks. I feel bad for him because he's probably thinking "what in the world is happening to me" as I often do when I have hiccups. I wish I could tell him that hiccups were the only thing in life that happen to you that are beyond your control, but I think we all know that's not true!

It's so alien...I'm looking down at my shirt and it is moving by itself. That is one of the neatest and most bizarre parts about being pregnant!

Cleaning resources

Here's a couple of resources that have jumped out to me since the cleaning post...maybe these will help those of us who are challenged:

Real Simple daily plan that allegedly allows you to maintain a "sparkling house in just 19 minutes a day."

Real Simple's definitive cleaning schedule, aka the "periodic table of cleaning." Incidentally, I think I've had a copy of this on my fridge since it was originally in the magazine, and that doesn't help. You have to actually follow it. Just FYI.

Let's talk about cleaning

I've had this conversation with a few of you before, but this efficient housekeeping gene was never installed for me. I feel like I spend so much of my free time at home cleaning or picking up or something, but there's got to be a leak in my system somewhere, because I can still walk into our kitchen or bedroom at any given time and chances are, it's a disaster of clutter and needs to be vacuumed, dusted, something. I have paid enough attention to confirm that this is a real problem and not just the "one thing's out of place so the house is a mess" sort of syndrome. I'm not sure if it's a discipline problem, a systems problem or what. Do you guys have tips, ideas, thoughts, routines, that help you? Emily, can I just follow you around for a few days and see how you do it? :)
