Today (actually, since it is 1:43am on 12/30 technically I am referring to yesterday) was the 3rd day of N’s 4day weekend. We try to spend as much of the off time together as possible since his work week schedule leaves us little “fun” time. Anywho, we busted out the new Wii and have been […]

I'll show you mine if you show me yours (your fridge silly!)
I am easily amused as many of you already know. My idea of good to share info has always caught people off guard (Sorry McGramps for making you blush with the pubic hair mention!), I am an odd one but it keeps people on their toes… Keeping with the oddness I decided to snap this […]
The day after Christmas, the aftermath.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Our holiday went well, it was celebrated at odd times as usual but we had a blast anyway! All you really need is to be together right? So, N came home from work late X-mas eve (11pm) and we proceeded to bake cookies and frost them. I […]
The 12 Days of Christmas, Talina and N's style
Okay, now sing it with me just to ring in the holiday spirit: On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me A garage cat with some fleas. On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Two broken cars (poor Nissan and Amigo!) And a garage cat with […]
Getting the holiday ducks in a row and not looking like a hobo anymore!
Last night the temperature got down to 8 degrees here in Evansville, right now it is about 20 degrees and I am inches from my space heater trying to keep warm. Can you believe there are only a few days left until Christmas? We managed to get lots of stuff taken care of this weekend […]
Evansville Indiana Alternative Birthing Options & Research home birth advocacy Life in Evansville personal stories pictures say 1000 words pregnancy
In Indiana breathing mold is okay but home birth is not, just an FYI.
Yeah I know the title seems kind of odd huh? I have been tying all sorts of weird things together these days like posts about a ladies hoo-hoo’s and mold. This is just the way my brain is working these days… Hopefully it is mildly entertaining for you cause this mold thing is making me […]
Testing for mold and sending presents, yippie!
Today actually yesterday (I am a day behind in posting this) was a productive day. We started the day boxing up the family holiday gifts. We sent off 4 boxes to family in Arizona, one to my BZZ Agent Secret Santa and 4 boxes to soldiers we’ve sponsored for the holidays. We still have 2 […]
Exploring more birthing options, The Farm in Summertown, TN
I am not quite sure how to explain the “gut feeling” I have but in light of my blood type revelation and my mom telling me her horror stories about the docs when she was giving birth (with my same blood type)… I am leaning more and more towards wanting an equip home birth setting. […]
I am just a tad angry right now!
Lets see, it has been 18 days since we sent off our rent check and our “we are concerned about mold” letter via certified mail to the landlords. As of today the letter STILL has not been claimed and is sitting at the post office. N called the landlord over the weekend about it and […]
Baby updates and talk on recessioning…
I am a day behind in posting about how the doctors appointment went and some readers are getting concerned. Everything looked fine at the appointment, Tater Tot’s heart is still beating away and my blood work from the previous month came back 100% normal. I weighed in at 108, same as last time and the […]

Lets take back our birthing rights!
Did you know the United States is ranked 29th (among industrialized countries) with regards to infant mortality rate? “Since ranking a fairly respectable 12th in 1960, the U.S. fell to an all-time low 29th in the world in infant mortality in 2004, according to the report Recent Trends in Infant Mortality in the United States […]
Holiday shopping highlights
I am officially done with my holiday shopping, woot! N and I went to some stores and got some stuff done today which was very productive of us. Here are some highlights of the day: I got to eat a greasy, salty, soft pretzel from Auntie Anne’s today while we were in the mall. Salted […]
It's begining to look like Christmas! (but where is the snow?)
We are finishing up the holiday shopping this week and are ready for Christmas now! Things are pretty low key for us since it is just the two of us this holiday season. We aren’t visiting the family for the holidays and we are kind of looking forward to having a low key holiday. Since […]
2nd prenatal appointment this week and other updates.
Okay, lets see… N asked for a Tribest Yolife Yogurt Maker – YL-210 after seeing it in a homesteading magazine. He loves preserving food and making it from scratch. Anyway it was being sold though a catalog but I went looking for it on Amazon.com because I had just earned a gift card from them […]
Circling the drain.
Nothing much is going on this weekend. We are staying in, trying to not spend money and just enjoy some quite time. Last night we went to N’s boss’ Christmas party and had fun, it was the first time I met all his coworkers since moving here. We weren’t out too late then we came […]
Waho… My energy is back folks!
Ever have one of those days where your brain moves way faster than your hands? I am totally having one of those days today. I am even finding trouble slowing down to eat, poor Tater Tot. Lets see, I have a huge burst of energy so I figure the bills and wrote checks and all […]
Almost out of the woods now…
I can’t believe that I am 10 weeks pregnant already. I was so lucky to skip the whole throwing up morning sickness thing. Other than aches and fatigue the 1st trimester has been a breeze (now that I have adjusted to being in bed eating all the time and being tired all the time). December […]
Pondering poo and freezing.
I has an amusing conversation with N last night that can totally be classified as TMI but I am blogging about it anyway. You have been warned. Whoever said pregnancy makes you have weird dreams is so right! I had the strangest dream the other night about public poo humiliation. I think it was the […]
NaBloPoMo ends and I made it!
Today marks the end of NaBloPoMo and I made it. Woot! We also went out and bought our christmas tree from a local boyscout troop. We didn’t cut our own tree down this year as we usually do since we didn’t have a feel for out new home town yet and we didn’t have time […]
Digging out the holiday decor and waiting for snow!
We are not venturing from the house this weekend (except to possibly get a x-mas tree). Weekends are crazy traffic wise here and well, we don’t want to deal with crazy consumers and retailers. Instead we are taking care of some errands around the house and are phasing in our boxes of holiday decor as […]
