Freezing Tundra Weekend,

It was -1F outside this morning. Haven't been ever that cold for the entire winter, or for the last 2 years for that matter. I glad we're bundled up at home watching the Australian Open on TV. Finding myself playing shadow tennis ever once in a while, when its time for the ads to run on TV (For those of you playing shadow golf when you watch the Golf Channel, you know what I mean). I guess till its warm enough for the real thing, shadow tennis, and of course Wii Tennis will hold us over for a while!


We're about 9 weeks away from our little turkey popping out of the oven, and we think preparations are right on track. Her nursery is painted, we bought a crib, and we're getting new carpeting put in for the whole upper floor. No pictures to share yet, save for this messy shot of our upstairs loft, with the boxes like we are moving again. Boxing stuff up to prep for the carpet guys, who are delayed until early Feb. Our carpet color was so popular that the factory can't make it fast enough... Or at least that's what our sales guy told us... ;)

Speaking of the pregnancy, we had noodle cravings last night, so we tried out this Pan-Asian place in Lenexa called Samurai Teriyaki. For those of you guys in KC, click on the link to find the location. Straight on the noodle menu were ordered a Pho and a Curry Laksa noodle (Yes, I was shocked to see the words "Laksa" on the menu too). We like the Pho, which was a mean spicy one but still had a refreshing taste. I personally, loved the Laksa, the only thing missing was some cockles (see-ham) in the laksa, and it would be perfect! Though on second thought, See-Ham in the mid-west can't be very fresh at all! Either way, KC folks, check this place out for yourselves!
