All of the above.

Not currently- but I have a few ideas ready to go when I have the time.
-
PB&J for one, mozzarella sticks, prunes and crackers for the other and leftover salmon for me (pretty typical).

The 4 yo going on 5 will be having a Lego party to celebrate being old enough to play with the little sized Legos instead of Lego Duplos. He's been looking forward to this since last year.
The 1 yo going on 2-- we're still brainstorming but I'm starting to lean toward dinosaurs! -
Working from home (which I do).

I'm an internet junkie. I won't admit how many hours a day I spend at my computer, but that's where you can find all the info you need.
Computer research has to done done on several fronts however. Sometimes I find blogs that I KNOW haven't done enough research. I know that a couple more clicks would have told them a product was taken off the market years ago or that a piece of furniture is only a design concept, not something an expectant mom could go out and buy.
I make sure to read blogs, follow product and company tweets, check retailers sites and especially familiarize myself with company and manufacturers' sites to get as much accurate information about a product as I can before I put it on my website or my blog. If I have any additional questions, a DM on twitter or an email usually clear it up. -
Any time a room goes too far with a specific theme, I'm likely to think it's hideous. I'm going to be nice though and not point out specifics because I don't want to insult anyone! If you're looking for a place to find some bad themed rooms, just go through some of the rooms on HGTV's Rate My Space site though. Many of the "Boys' Rooms" are particularly notorious for taking a theme too far!
I will say that even though these ridiculous themed rooms are not my taste (and I wish they were no one's taste) I think they are wonderful in that they are done with love and care. The effort any parent puts into their child's room is a reflection of the love and hopes and dreams we have for them, so you have to at least appreciate that much. -
Sometimes I wonder the same thing myself but my current baby product/furnishings/decor obsession has been going on for about five years now however, with no end in sight.
The week after my wedding I didn't want to pick up another wedding magazine or watch "A Wedding Story" ever again so I've already eclipsed that year's obsession.
As my children grow out of their baby years, into preschool and on to school age, I see lots of nieces, nephews and baby cousins in my future. Their parents look to me for my expertise and I expect to be able to steer them away from the Babies R Us registry and show them the best of what is out there.
I love the world of home decor and design, but there is so much fun and whimsy and possibility when designing for a new baby or child so I do think this is where my interest will remain for a good long while.
Awesome question and something I will continue to reflect on. -
I have a T-shirt from 1992 that I still wear to bed. I know it's from 1992 because it says so on the front. It was my team T-shirt from a volleyball league I played on my freshman year of high school. After 18 years it's really soft and has held up remarkably well!

I do have to cook dinner tonight- for myself and three other selective (okay, picky) eaters. They're just going to have to manage with whatever frozen items I can find in the freezer to heat up.
