The plan was to go out and pick up a few food items that were still needed for holiday baking and dinner, we were going to do this before N headed off to work this morning. This week our only car, the 1991 Isuzu Amigo, yeah the one I just spent $300 on a new […]

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 […]
Cat poo, candles and flaming tales. More pet madness to share!
You know how sometimes when you do something you get this flash of disaster scenario warning you of the what-if’s? I got one right as I was lighting a candle in my stinky bathroom. You see I was drawing a bath which is an immediate invitation for one of my cats to take a giant […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lookie what I got…
Just wanted to share the gorgeous soap I just got in the mail today from Maiden53. It is a bar of fresh and energizing tangerine soap, yum! I love handmade soap for a number of reasons. The main one is because homemade soap is usually more natural and it leaves my skin feeling so nice. […]
Fall leaves photos
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
My brain is mush, la, la, la (might be the HGC huh?)
My mind is in another place right now and has been for several days. I dropped a hint in the last post that nobody picked up on. Days like this just aren’t conducive to being focused and serious in blogging so I am just going to put it all out there and quit trying to […]
Oh, the street lights, are a fallin'
Yesterday while N was reading his magazines and books in the living room he heard a loud creaking sound. Initially he though it was a tree branch falling down like they all did the day Hurricane Ike blew through Evansville and we had to chainsaw tree to prevent phone lines from ripping and whatnot. When […]
Published articles and too good to be true discoveries…
It is raining like crazy here today! N and I just checked out a local bridal consignment shop that had many dresses that were similar in style to the one I like. They were all smaller than a size 8 too! Also, I have another article published on the web today, I am a guest […]
