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 […]

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 […]
Weekly drama recap…
I’ve been posting later and later in the day, so much so that it appears I posted my latest wordless Wednesday post on Thursday when indeed it was actually posted very late on Wednesday. I am a blog slacker 🙁 Wanted to take some time to give you the weeks highlights… For starters, we found […]
7 days to go and we have news!
Our going away party was yesterday as most of you know. Our crazy week of working the week before pretty much left us unprepared for the going away party. Our house was just trashed. So we spent much of yesterday morning straightening and cleaning in preparation for the party. N insisted that we go for […]
House floods and hair dye…
I am one of those 20somethings who already has gray hairs, yep it is true! Actually it is a chunk of gray hairs, kind of a streak on my right side right near my hair line. I usually dye my hair with the intent of covering the gray I have tons of hair so I […]
Whew, it is OVER!
You asked for it! Here is the scoop on the yard sale weekend complete with photos. My brother, mother and niece came to spend the weekend with us, to help and add to the excitement. My niece, Hazel was teething so she was tired and semi-cranky. Here is a photo to illustrate her mood: We […]
Amazing weather rocks! People who don't respond to inquiries from their site suck.
We have had cool, humid, rainy weather this whole week and I am loving it! Sure the humid weather makes my hair go nutty but it makes my skin so happy and it is cooler than normal when it rains! Besides stormy weather just calms me. On stormy days I may even curl up with […]
Finding rental houses (not apartments) online…
I have never understood why finding rental homes online is so much more difficult than finding apartments. When we moved out to Flagstaff, AZ we rented several apartments over the course of 2 years. Apartment complexes just don’t make things easy for multiple pet owners and families with kids seldom want to live in an […]
Wow, how crazy! It is a small world…
Can i just share soemthing totally crazy with you? I spent yesterday sort of mass mailing band directors and schools trying to land a new colorguard “gig”… I already have one school interested in hiring me and I also got in touch with the local area’s colorguard organization to see if I could work as […]
RV shopping and contemplation…
Yesterday we looked at some RV’s within our price range. The first one we saw was in good shape but we didn’t get to test drive it because it needed new tires. The second one was a death trap with a rotten back end and it died on us during the test drive. The third […]
Making the yard sale happen!
Well, I am going forward with the yard sale.. I want to have it July 26th & 27th in my driveway here in Flagstaff. My mother has agreed to visit for the weekend and help us, yay! We will drink brandy all day and sit in the driveway trying to sell off our crap! Maybe […]
More anticipation….
Lets see I had Monday off from teaching for memorial day but had to show the house to a bunch of inspectors. I teach my class tomorrow and will perform with my students Wednesday night in a hip-hop routine that is a bit out of my comfort zone. N also leaves for Evansville Wednesday so […]
3 months to go till we move, again!
Last week was the first week of being forced to showed our current rental home. The owners decided to put it back on the market 3 months into our 6 month lease. So, I was home last Friday when this Native American couple came with their agent to tour the home. The showing was fairly […]
Being a renter in Arizona kind of sucks!
Well, this was going to be an auto post for tomorrow since we are heading down to my moms house but I am just raging mad right now and have to share this shit with you guys! Yesterday I mentioned that our landlord informed us that the home we are renting was being put on […]
Getting a tan and blogging…
Today is such a nice day! Yesterday we got rain so the air is all fresh and clean today plus the sun is shining and it is a warm 63 degrees out. As son as I got home from teaching I got my bathing suit top on, grabbed my towel and headed out to get […]
I have spring fever! Is winter over yet?
Well, we are moved in to our new place and it’s a bit like Christmas here every day! We are discovering all kinds of “surprises” each day as the snow melts. Some of the “surprises” are pleasant because they are signs that spring is around the corner, others a just odd. Yesterday we determined a […]
Bleach smells bad so I used it to clean the old home.
We seldom use bleach because of the environmental/ health impacts but had acquired a few large bottles of it some time ago. I don’t like the smell of it and I always seem to mix it with something that I shouldn’t (like cat urine in the litter box or whatever).. I was determined to make […]
A rant about installation appointments
Well we are still waiting to have our phone/ DSL connected today. We had an appointment for a tech to come out between 12pm & 5pm today, it’s 4pm as I write this and nobody is here. The whole deal with service calls and connecting utilities is kind of silly. They need access to your […]
My body hates me- moving is rough!
Well, I am just now sitting down with my laptop for basically the first time in 2 days. We are moved in and it has been exhausting! Thanks to my family we got the majority of our junk into the new home by Sunday night. We stayed in the new, warmer, much bigger home Sunday […]
Fun with the family.. Video with adult language!
We made my yummy salt roasted chicken for dinner and then made some smores for dessert. Were having some fun before we start the moving process from the one rental to another… Here is a snapshot of our evening, good times! [youtube I90WJeO9RDg Fun with family- video]
