It is a cool, rainy night here in Evansville and I am loving it. I spent the day doing finances, printing the way cute photos we took over the weekend for our scrapbook and I also started making the pregnancy announcements we are having done for friends and family. All in all it’s been a […]

Only 2 weeks until the third trimester, man time flies!
Today I am off enjoying my birthday weekend, actually my birthday was yesterday but N was working so we didn’t celebrate. We are off doing just that right now! I thought I would leave you with some fun 25 weeks pregnant belly shots in my absence. As you are reading this I am actually in […]
Hey mama, win some goodies!
I have been in a crappy mood today basically over finances and lack of preparedness. You probably got that from my last post huh? Well, I wasn’t going to whine about it here in another blog post cause that is a downer. So I resolved to sleep and lay around all day instead having anxiety […]
Hump day is kicking my butt!! All I want to do is sleep.
Man, I am drained today and have no idea why! It is a nice day, not to cold and not to warm. Spring is upon us and the garden is showing first signs of life. I’ve got plenty of things I should be doing like cleaning house, finishing up building the cat house, packing, crocheting […]
Live broadcast and chat fun is coming to the blog, come get your chat on now!
Tater’s birth is coming up pretty fast! She is due around June 25th and I’ll be heading off to The Farm on June 13th for my “delivery month” (38 to 42 weeks pregnant) where I will sit and wait for her to come. The Farm is a great place for all things natural and I […]
Instead of The Bold and the Beautiful it is The Renters and the Slumlords…
Douchebag, douchbag… La, la, la… <- That is my landlord song. Today I present you with another episode of The Renters and the Slumlords. I thought this other post was the last of the saga, boy was I wrong but I am feeling a bit punchy so I am going to try having some fun […]
25th week prenatal appointment updates and brain dump.
Yesterday was my 25 week prenatal appointment with the useless OBGYN. Got the all clear on mine and Tater’s health. Things are still going normally and are on track. I weighed in at 123.5 lbs which is 4.5 pounds more than last checkup. That is perfectly normal when you remember the recommended weight gain during […]
Um, hi! Can you spray your germs somewhere else, please? [*warning* graphic snot pic ;-)]
As you know we’ve been busting our butts to get stuff done these days. Yesterday we had my chiropractor appointment, talked with our slumlords on the phone (and got out of our lease), then we went to the bank per their request to place stop payments on the 2 checks we sent them for rent […]
The final chapter of the crappy evansville landlord drama.
Today is a good day! For those of you following the rental saga, here is the latest (and hopefully the final) update. After months of certified letters, emails, phone calls and face to face meetings that accomplish nothing we’ve finally decided to ask the landlords to release us from the lease come May 1st. We […]
Time flies… When it Rains, it pours… We have some more news too!
Is it strange that vacuuming was enjoyable for me this last week? I got a wild hair and was having a good ole time with our vintage Filter Queen vacuum. It might have been the warmer weather that got me all motivated or perhaps it’s the prospects of getting out of this place and in […]
We are holding our breath because we may have found OUR house…
Hopefully I am not jinxing us here but I just wanted to spread the upbeat news. With all the crappy happenings a bit of good is always nice, even if it is a bit premature… So, we did look at a home we liked today! I mentioned it yesterday briefly (I was trying not to […]
Um, did someone die in this house? Man it smells! (Evansville rental home search continues…)
I am going to be honest, this home hunt thing has really made me a downer lately. I know how boring and blah the posts have been and I am trying to not go on and on about the same crap, it is just hard to swiftly change perspective when nothing is actually looking up […]
Birthday month and demon possessed kitchen electronics…
Some of you already know that March is my birthday month. My birthday is also typically considered the first day of spring, it’s March 20th. Sunshine over at … and the pursuit of happiness is linking to all the March bloggy birthdays over on her site and she gifted me with this nifty button to […]
Checketty, check, check those things off that list!
The last few days have been jam packed with adult obligations and what not. We’ve spent much time at our bank trying to figure out the mystery of our February rent payment. We’ve researched landlord/ tenants legalities and sent out another certified letter with our March rent payment. We cleaned house with our free, spiffy […]
The Filter Queen, a cute country home and more landlord drama…
Today was an early and productive day for us. We woke up and headed to our bank to discuss getting some legal documentation against our landlords. You see they closed their accounts prior to the beginning of February and our electronic bill payment to them (for rent) wasn’t paid since their account is no longer… […]
23 weeks pregnant: baby kicks and stormy warm nights…
Yesterday was the beginning of my 23rd week of pregnancy. I must say this whole thing is just kind of flying right by, it is kind of scary how fast it’s going! I thought it would be cool to try recording some of Tater’s movements so I can show her once she is older. I […]
Slumloards, credit scores and a prenatal chiropractor [in a pear tree]…
Being all pregnancy slackerific the majority of the time means that when the energy does actually come in spurts we have a crapload of stuff to accomplish all at once. Thankfully as a team N and I have managed to continue getting everything dealt with that needs to be. It is days like today that […]
Animals & Pets Life in Evansville living simply personal stories pictures say 1000 words pregnancy Wordless Wednesday
Wordless wednesday- things we do without…
Right now it seems there are more products I love and can’t find to buy these days than ever before. Since leaving Arizona we’ve found ourselves unable to find so many items we’ve become attached to. Please send groceries! We’ve been looking at the local pet stores like crazy for this litter. It is amazing […]
Making choices is hard stuff sometimes!
I am normally a pretty decisive person. When I know what I want I am set on it but when I don’t I am pretty open to whatever comes my way. Normally I can use logic and reason to help me make any decision easily and I would get annoyed with others for being indecisive. […]
Critters are everywhere! What is that in our wall?
You know we always have crazy eventful times with animals around here right? I mean all of our pets come to us by some sort of fate. They dart in our front door or are starving in a hole by the sidewalk when we walk by. We are suckers, we just can’t walk by and […]
