Up: The Great Falls trip went well despite the loser who tried cutting me off in the Wal-Mart parking lot.Â? (Apparently the moron thought I could suddenly stop on packed snow???)

Down: The temperature.Â? It’s been sub-zero for days and my car’s heater is not working well.

Up: Making out like a bandit at Old Navy.Â? Three pairs of pants for $40.

Down: The little monster in my belly did not want to be found for a heartbeat on Friday at my pre-natal appointment.Â? After 5 minutes of pressing on my belly with the Doppler, Dr. Awesome decided to play with the hospital’s ultrasound machine.Â? 20 minutes and more cold jelly on my tummy later, we got an ultrasound pic of the baby immediately and a lovely fetal heartbeat.

Down: Flu shot on Friday.Â? I have no immune system and am getting everything that goes around.

Up: Only two workdays this week.Â? (Though I’ll probably be staying late on one of those days to clean off my desk before I head to Seattle.)

Up:Â? Flying to Seattle next Saturday… if the weather improves.

Up: My laptop might be here before the estimated delivery date.
