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 […]
Perfect pie crust and old school Nintendo.
I made a turkey pot pie from scratch yesterday and was pretty pleased with the pie crust recipe so I wanted to share it here on the blog. I searched high and low for a good from scratch pot pie recipe and kept coming across the call for “crescent rolls” as the “pie crust”. To […]
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 […]
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 […]
Poo, featured articles and twitter- Oh my!
Yeah I know cheesy title huh? It’s all I’ve got though. Just more musings and other news so lets dive right in! I bought a gallon of shampoo and a gallon of conditioner online a few weeks back. The FedEx man just delivered it and boy am I happy! See the thing is we love […]
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 […]
Did you "Black Friday" shop?
We set the alarm for 3:45am last night. When the alarm went off we both reached for our laptops and pulled up them on to our laps while we sat in bed. We hunted for the products we wanted, we pulled up the sites offering the products, we refreshed the pages waiting for the sales […]
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Hopefully everyone is having a wonderful Thanksgiving! N and I are still in bed and it is 11am. We are watching the Macy’s Day Parade while having coffee and doughnuts. Two of my favorite performances were by: One More Time Around Again Marching Band and the Florida Special Needs Colorguard. I woke up this morning […]
Turkey day is tomorrow, do I have the flu?
I am feeling a bit off today, like I might be getting sick or something. I am trying hard to kick it by eating well, drinking tons of water and resting. Hopefully I am not getting the flu or something. N is thinking the fact that I ate subway might have something to do with […]
Yay Amigo!
Remember when I mentioned that our only car (the poor amigo) was getting a new soft top? Well, the soft top arrived yesterday and N got it installed today. Hurray for keeping the cold air out of the moving vehicle! This is a huge deal for us considering it has been about 4 years since […]
