Are YOU Afraid of the Dark???

Thankfully I am not.
It's 7:31am and if it wasn't for the lights outside - it'd be pitch black. A couple months ago when we first arrived - the sun was up and out by 5:30am.
I love the late sleeping in fiestas. Oh yes - except it's 7:32am. I do plan on going back to sleep - I just thought I heard my phone ring in the bedroom (I had crashed on the couch last night due to lack of space and over-heating and leg/butt cramps) - thinking it was the hospital calling me to book an appointment with a specialist.

The dogs are still snoring...Loki at my feet and Blue on the couch making a horrific whistling sound with his nostrils. I just turned to look at him -he's awake and staring at me.
It seems the past couple of days since I've been showing signs of first stage of labour - that my dogs are intensely obsessed with following me or laying near me or touching me when they lie down and not budging.
For example - at night, Loki will get up and rotate a few times and then drop his dead weight on my ankles or legs. This happens once every couple of hours and thankfully he's warm - so I'm fine with that. But these past couple of days he has been intent on doing it multiple times more than normal.
Blue won't let me go to the bathroom alone. He waits outside the door for me - which I find odd because he didn't care before unless he thought I was heading to the closet - which is near the bathroom door. If I'm sitting at the computer - he has to be able to see me. He won't lie in bed without me there anymore. Very strange.

Oh and in reference to The Muppet Show that I've been watching last night - I've discovered that an ex-manager reminds me of Miss Piggy (to a tee - snitty, demanding, phony etc), my music teacher from high school reminds me of Rolf (hilarious with the corny jokes and excellent on the piano), his daughter a bit like Gonzo - possibly because she plays trumpet too...and I thought my husband reminded me of Kermit - but now I'm thinking the Swedish Chef because I'm always having to ask what he said as I hear mumble-jumbo (Without the cooking talent). It's that or one of the old men that is a critic. Yes maybe one of the old men that is a critic - as he cracks very similar jokes/comments like they do on a regular basis. For those of you that thought Tim was quiet before...HA.

Now - how am I watching these old versions of The Muppet Show? Well we are borrowing the DVD set. And because we don't have a TV or a DVD player set up yet (maybe soon after the baby's born) - we're using my laptop. I find it interesting - for those of you that may not know this - that your laptop will offer you the option of DVD Player 1 or 2 (or more possibly). The one that allows you to play North American DVDs is already pre-programmed. However if you switch to DVD Player 2 for example, you'll be able to watch European DVDs - same for DVDs made in China. It's some sort of difference that the computer picks up on and you get a warning that no matter what you do - once you change the DVD Player in your computer a maximum of 4 or 5 times - that you'll be stuck with it for life. So if I'm stuck with Canadian DVD Player - I won't be able to watch DVDs made in other countries. Interesting eh? I'm sure there's some sort of chip in the market that you can install inside that will allow the flexibility - but who knows. I'm not that computer savvy. I think the term is "Boot leg" dvds.

Alright I've rambled on long enough. Back to bed I go. Hopefully there aren't spelling errors or major typos in this!! I apologize if there are.
