N is back home from Peach Springs, he was sent out there to cover some breaking news yesterday. I guess there was lots of flooding out that way that really caused some issues for tourists and residents. Today he will be covering a John McCain appearance in Flagstaff. Dispite the station being shut down he […]
Am I crazy? Probably!
First I should update you all on how the weekend of N’s work parties went huh? The station closing down party was sad and weird at the same time. We said goodbye to many really great people and were also creeped out by others. Channel 2 is officially off the air and now N is […]
Tonight one door is closing…
The last newscast is tonight. N will anchor it with several of his other coworkers. This will be the sign-off broadcast for the station, can you believe it? This particular chapter in our lives is very nearly over, it is very surreal. We are obviously happy and excited for our new opportunities despite the inevitable […]
We've got 12 feet of space, can we make our house fit?
The moving company was booked and now we are doing a “semi test run” to see if we can make all our belongings fit into a 12 foot long, 8 foot wide and 9 foot tall area cause that is all the space we booked through the moving company. Yep, we are loading the truck […]
My eyes are leaking! Help…
I am not a crier, many of you already know this. I have never been an overly emotional girl, I grew up the oldest with two younger brothers. Being girly hasn’t ever been my thing. I preferred to play in the mud and fist fight. I have been known to cry at some funerals, during […]
The Celebrity Ads, what are your thoughts?
It seems everyone but Britney Spears has responded to McCain’s petty celebrity ad! When Paris Hilton responded it was funny but now that Obama has responded I am not sure what I think. I mean there are too many other important issues to focus on right now and all we can dwell on is the […]
My creativity is sucked dry but we are making progress!
I cannot believe there is only 1 week of broadcast time left for the station! N and I are doing just fine in light of the news. Things just worked out for us it seems but we are still in shock about it all happening so fast. He will still be working until 8/26 so […]

My tear jerking song…
This is for Teeni! The tear jerker song I want to share is My Wish by Rascal Flatts. It’s a “family bond” song that my mom said “explained her wish for us”. Tag, you are it! Now post yours! Here is a video I found: My next post is going to be password protected for […]
We have our RV, check that one of the to-do list!
Our RV is now in our possession! Over the weekend we spent some time cleaning it out and doing some general deep cleaning. We are taking it in to be worked on probably Wednesday and expect it to be done in a week or so. We got such a screaming deal on the Winnebago! It […]
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 […]
Don't hesitate to finger your flowers or shake them! Ha…
I know, strange headline huh? It’s for real though, I have tomatoes growing inside my home. They are in a window box and are a result of some cuttings we took. The tomato plants began flowering and we would “finger the flowers” or gently shake them to pollinate them since bees and humming birds are […]
31 days till we leave Arizona…
It’s the first of the month, that means 26 days till N is done with his current employer and 31 days till we are outta here. It is all very exciting and also a bit unbelieveable. We have signed a lease in Evansville, paid a security deposit and tomorrow we are forking over $1800 for […]
My lack of creativity results in…
… me stealing a meme from Teeni to mindlessly do cause what else do I have to offer? I have noticed that my recent posts have been nothing but a diary of happenings, preparations for the move and my worries. Writing them makes me feel okay afterward but it makes for some uneventful reading I […]

Wordless Wednesday & Wilted Asparagus Tip.
Got Wilted Asparagus? If you buy fresh asparagus you have probably experienced asparagus wilt after the bunch has been in the fridge for a while. You know it gets all droopy, soft and looks like it needs to be tossed out… I was surprised to learn how many people don’t know that the limp asparagus […]

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 […]
My very belated Wordless Wednesday Post
Here is my “Wordless Wednesday”, sure it is a day behind but better late than (than looks wrong, is it then? Hmm) never right? Here is what I have been up to: Making Yard Sale Signs There was a cute little cat sticking his head out of the box but he kept ducking away when […]
Actions speak louder than words, thoughts on debt collection.
I am just a bit peeved right now and I thought rather than ranting about it and making certain people look bad I would write a somewhat informative post to help those certain somebodies, then I would rant at the end… Do you receive at least one debt collection letter a month or perhaps you […]
Woho, got a house and some travel ideas…
After weeks of excessively emailing property management companies, banging my head against the wall when they don’t respond and after much hair pulling it appears we have found ourselves a house! I posted a few “housing wanted” ads on craigslist and several property owners responded to me. After viewing photos of homes we have found […]
Lo, lo lo… Which route should we take?
It appears we have gone through each and every thing we own in preparation for our yard sale, it is happening this weekend! We are making great progress on the moving preparations and I am having less anxiety these days. Yay! We also nailed down which RV we were going to buy and we have […]
