I know some of you Arizona folk were asking to see some photos of the fall leaves in our area. There is a particular area we like out near the river front that consists of a bunch of very old Victorian houses. One of them is for sale for $230,000 and N keeps eying it. […]

It is finally friday yay! And tots rock, mmmm
Tater tots have saved my stomach today. I am not sure how or why but salty tots coated in ketchup got me from “ugh, I am going to be sick” to “yay, the tummy is better now I can sleep”. Thank goodness! I wanted to find the tots scene from Napoleon Dynamite but couldn’t, this […]
Our first day of fall leaves, now I need a nap.
I have to say I have never been lazier (that can’t be grammatically correct) or more tired in my life. This pregnancy is just making me want to lay and sleep, it is very odd. I have never been one for nap time and people always thought I was crazy. Sleeping during the day was […]
What a historical time!!
This is totally something that I’ll be reliving years from now when we tell our unborn child about this historical time. The 2008 presidential race is close and I am both pleased and excited to see how it is unfolding but this isn’t a post about who I voted to be president it is about […]
Damn fleas and forgetfulness… Random musings.
Yesterday after passing out at the doctors office and spending the rest of my day in bed I was kept company by my 4 indoor cats and a lone flea. Yep, was just laying in bed resting and the thing was jumping around on my arm. I hate bugs in my house. They make me […]
Woho! Take it off…
… that is the kind of audio the news station hopes to get off the investigative story they sent him on last night. The destination was an underage foam party. From Sarah Palin to foam parties, what is next? Supposedly there is all this nastiness going on under the foam at these parties. Teens get […]
Seven weeks pregnant and counting…
Right now I am a sucker for malted milk balls… Mmmm Whoppers rock! I just made myself a bowl of strawberry banana Jello for later enjoyment and a yummy caramel apple is too. The eating has not slowed down but the nausea has increased a bit. Still not vomiting though, yay me! Today is the […]
On Halloween we got legally married and voted.
While walking in to the courthouse this morning to be legally married we realized that we were being married on Halloween. Everyone was walking around all decked out in full costume. We didn’t realize we were scheduled to be married on Halloween until we were walking in the courthouse doors and noticing all the dressed […]
On politicians and real life…
Guess who The Secret Service just cleared to interview Sarah Palin?. She was attending a rally in Jeffersonville on the 29th according to this article and the plan was for him to interview her at the airport in the afternoon of the 29th. When he found out his first reaction was, “How am I going […]
I have licences, woot woot!
Yesterday was quite eventful but I was too lazy to blog about it. The baby forced me to take a nap instead ;- Basically N woke me up at 6 am with his uncontrollable sneezing, he is having trouble with Indiana allergies- fun times. This prompted me to empty my bladder in the dark. So […]

Trying to have a home birth in Evansville, Indiana…
I apologize for not posting over the weekend, I know it is the most popular time of the week for this blog. Things have just been a tad bit frustrating and I lacked the energy to do much other than pull my hair out. Here is a little background for you, N and I want […]
Updates and water drops…
I have been staring at this blank post page for several minutes and am drawing no inspiration. Thanks to everyone for the good thoughts and well wishes. Being able to relate to others who are going through or have been through the same stuff is more helpful than you know. I honestly don’t know what […]
5 weeks pregnant and light pink spotting…
This morning when I woke up I noticed I was having some very light, faint pink spotting. We are talking clearish light pink. Last night I did notice some minor abdominal aches and cramps while I was making dinner. I don’t really know what this means or if it is the beginnings of a miscarriage, […]
Arizona to Indiana Road Trip Job Searching Life in Evansville Moving out of state personal growth personal stories pregnancy wedding planning Wordless Wednesday
Remember when…
Remember when I outlined all N’s job uncertainty in this post back on May 2008? Back then we still had no idea where his job search would take us and we were pretty worried that we would end up stuck with the status quo if no better offers came along. We were barely making end […]
Productive Pregnancy? Knock on wood…
I have been feeling F-I-N-E these last few days. From what I have heard pregnancy is supposed to be all yucky with morning sickness, aches and fatigue. I am probably jinxing myself here but I am have not had many major “pause life” issues. When I don’t snack constantly or when I try eating big […]
Get in on the pool and win some cash!
When it comes to gaining weight in pregnancy and loosing weight after delivery every woman is different. Since we were planning our wedding before I found out I was pregnant (yeah we do almost everything backwards) baby weight is something that has been in the back of my mind. I already have my wedding dress […]
Soon I'll be able to read street signs again!
Well we got up very early and pushed off to Sam’s Club for my optometrist appointment. All in all I got my 1 pair of glasses and my eye exam for $150, I paid 100% out of pocket because we wont have insurance until late November. Turns out I have 20/70 vision and am near […]
The dress is here, yay!
I am 100% satisfied with my wedding dress purchase. I’ll admit I was feeling a bit apprehensive about buying a wedding dress on Ebay but I did my research, covered my butt and when it arrived today is was better than I thought it would be! Yesterday I got a survey request from David’s Bridal, […]
It doesn't get more positive than that, now get busy!
Waking up in the wee hours of the morning has been a common occurrence for me this week. I am not sure what exactly is causing it but I am not sleeping through the nights. Anywho I was up and pissed off about it enjoying the sunrise and I got the urge to pee. I […]
