Look what we had the pleasure of waking up to in the basement of our rental… It rained most of the night and thank goodness our neighbors warned us about the leaky basement as we were moving it. Apparently our basement has some major leaking issues and today we get to witness them first hand. […]

Making ladyfingers from scratch
Earlier in the week N wanted to make up a batch of ladyfingers. The goal was to make homemade Tiramisu, one of his favorite desserts but you need ladyfingers to make it. We searched high and low for ladyfingers in the stores last weekend, nobody sells them. Being the baker that I am I suggest that […]
Black friday here we come!
I am surprisingly very excited about turkey day and “Black Friday”. Don’t worry I have no intention of actually shopping in stores the day after Thanksgiving, that would be pure madness! I am using a great online sale website that is designed specifically for just Black Friday. In past years we have had a blast […]
Bullet point Wendesday, with photos!
Pregnancy has caused this birthmark looking thing to appear on my back, it was never there before but my brother has a birthmark that is the exact same shape on his side. It is probably hyperpigmentation caused by the pregnancy huh? Well I thought it was strange… Can everyone see on my new baby widget […]
Preparing for turkey day and such…
Over the weekend we finally found a turkey that was not injected with hormones and various preservative solutions. Can you believe that nobody sells turkeys locally here? We looked high and low for one and were sorely disappointed! Then we figure we would settle for one that was at least hormone/ solution free. The kitchen […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
Some odd thoughts and call for your 2 cents!
I have several odd thoughts going through my mind, they are vagina related so if reading about this sort of thing isn’t your idea of a good time you might want to skip this post and read yesterdays post instead. Okay, you had your chance to flee! First odd thought. Who hand washes their underwear? […]
Getting in to the fall spirit…
On Sunday (when I found out I was pregnant and won my wedding dress on ebay) N and I also went to the Englebrecht Apple Orchard where we collected 2 10lb bags of apples and had some quality time. In October we love to pick our own apples and make all kinds of yummy stuff, […]
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 […]
When my wedding dress comes it is going to be like X-mas!!
Guess who just snagged an Oleg Cassani CT285 wedding dress, a David’s Bridal long line felina strapless bra and a David’s Bridal wedding dress slip all for $281.35 (including shipping)… I did and we are stoked! The dress retails for $1100, the slip for $49.00 and the bra for $80.00, we got such a steal […]
Someone leaves the island…
Yeah, strange title. I am weird creative like that! It is 11:16 pm Indiana time and I am 3 hours away from winning a David’s Davids Bridal Felina Longline Bra off eBay. It was the special bra they put me in the day I visited Davids bridal and tried on dresses, it was amazing. Just […]
