I woke up at 4:10am from a nightmare (no more cop shows for me!) and had a hard time going back to bed. This is pretty par for the course these days that something will wake me up between 3 and 4am and I lie there for about an hour. At least I have Peggle! In my fuzzy headedness this morning, I considered staying home today (and under the covers for most of it). I managed to rally, so I present a few things I accomplished by getting out of bed today, if for no other reason than to justify to myself that it was a solid decision.

I snagged another great OV license plate in my morning commute for my growing collection. I think warm weather brings them all out.

I received a bunch of new maternity clothes in the mail (crazy Old Navy sale! $4 tank tops!) and all of them fit. They will greatly help in my quest to have clean clothes each morning that don't squeeze my bladder or look like a tent.

Rich and I went swimming after work in the incredibly warm and conveniently located pool in our back yard. I love that pool!

I convinced Rich to stand with me for a photo, but as usual, this was the best one from the entire set.

Finally, the most productive thing I did today was create a mix for you. I have been mulling this over in my skull for months and Pet Shop Boys inspired me on the way home. So I present to you a compilation of several unique covers for classic and/or familiar songs. A few have sprinklings of naughty words in them (Gin and Juice and I Will Survive, as far as I recall), so be warned.

Cover Me! (an OpenTape creation)

Let me know if there are any other covers you particularly love. It was fun tracking all these down this evening.
