how many of you...

would like to kill some time? Go here.

Apparently, there are 70,308 people in the U.S. with my first name.
Statistically, it is the 656th most popular first name.
Shockingly, >99.9% are female.

There are 1,253 people in the U.S. with my last name.
Statistically, it is the 22,507th most popular last name.

There are 1 or fewer people in the U.S. with my name. I'm betting on one.

Oh, you know you want to do it. It takes 5 seconds. Then you can put in other people's names to waste a significant amount of time.

(I was going through draft posts and came across this one, which was good since I'm at a total blank when it comes to writing right now. I'm pretty much only thinking about the wedding and doing wedding-related tasks. With 33 days left, I'm a flood of different emotions. Maybe I'll be able to get them out on virtual paper soon.)

But what will your new last name be, in number terms? Or are you keeping the maiden name?

There are 16,111 people in the U.S. with my soon-to-be last name.
Statistically, it is the 2,410th most popular last name. Apparently, 4 folks with the first name + new last name. Sigh...I'm getting more common.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
