The blog title is Russian for sister. This is my sister Mads and me. Sorry the pic is so fuzzy. I am a bit upset about news I heard today regarding my darling sis. She has always gotten average grades and she struggles in certain subjects. However, with

The two houses I wanted to see tonight didn't work out. One of them turned out to be under contract. Then the other one had an offer put on it this morning, and the owner has until midnight to decide whether or not to accept and won't be showing unless

Ok, so I went to the Doctor. Everything is checking out fine. I did want some genetic screening done, so I had a lot of blood samples taken. I also got my tetanus shot. I have to wait for results of the blood tests. Did I mention that I am afraid of needles.

San Francisco is where my husband wants to move. This is such a sore subject between us. I come from a very tight-knit family, and we are all around St. Louis. San Franciso scares me. They have big Earthquakes. They have bridges that are more substancial.

Matt got an e-mail this weekend that we are ignoring. It is one of those things that we are hoping, if we ignore it, it might go away. It is not the e-mail I really dread, but I have a feeling, it is the email that comes before that one. Matt's Mom is

No, not really. Think of it as a verbal b!tch-slap. I had to get high and mighty in the situation. However, I am going to ramble about the whole weekend before we get to this story, So stay tuned until the end. I love that people read my blogs. It makes

I didn't Nest too much today. I had so many meetings. And I spent about 2 hours of my day composing emails while crying. They have cancelled all my projects, this doesn't effect my job, but all the hours I've spent working for the past 2 months have been

I personally love the house. My realtor said it was a very good deal, and my realtor is brutally honest because he is a great friend of my family. Only one thing was wrong, my husband hated the yard. I admit, the yard left something to be desired. My

In 2003, things were very different: I was dating my high school sweetheart, marriage was not really on my mind. I had a practice schedule of 20 hours per week with guard and did an additional 5 hours per week of tech. I worked at a middle school watching

I like instant gratification. If I go for something, I want it to happen ASAP. This is why going to school and losing weight and conception are hard. If I work at something, I want to see the result. I hate going to class for years before receiving a

Well, Matt and I went on a date Friday night. We watched his Jackie Chan/Jet Li movie Forbidden Kingdom at the theater. I am not into that kind of movie, but we are TTC, so I wanted to do something special for him. We also went to my favorite restaurant,

Ok, so this seems like a lot of posts, but I don't think my last 2 should count, I mean heck, they were, if anything, just geological reports. Matt and I watched Juno last night, after the movie was over, he said, we need to go buy it before Wal-Mart

I hate being woke up in the middle of the night by an Earthquke. Well, it was actually around 4:30 am. But I stopped waking up that early. Matt and I sprang up in bed and everything was shaking around us. My first reaction, someone had a methlab in a

Lately, I have felt very desensitized. Form my world around me, from the posts on these boards, and at work. I feel like I am on the verge of being mean. I don't really like it. Every now and then, I get a superiority complex. It is a horrible thing.

I don't think that promotion really exists, but I can tell you, if it did, it would be me. In the 7 months I have lived in my apartment, I have rented so many movies. I was waiting for my company to bring U-verse to my area so I can get TV through my

I have reached my 10 lb goal thus far. I have a lot more weight to lose, but reaching this mark is really exciting. I was thinking, if I kept losing 10 lbs ever 2 weeks for the 6 months I want to do this, I would lose 120 lbs, and then I would be dead.

So, that is one of the blog titles I am most proud of. I have not done either of these things. Ever? So don't worry, that is not what this blog is about. This blog is really about curiousity. No, I am not curious of what it would be like to be a hooker.

I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. And another inch and a half on my waist. I have been diligent in exercising and dieting, but I am very shocked to see that I am losing quick. It is kinda making me nervous because I don't want to plateau. I told my husband about

No I didn't, just kidding. I never shut up. Ever! Unless you know me in person, then I have to have a few beers in me to never shut up. However, I have quit drinking and it has been awhile. I made it through 2 happy hours without a drink. Then tomorrow

Okay, so right now, Matt and I are saving for a house. No surprise, since I've mentioned it it in my previous blogs. We can't wait to get out of this apartment. With Spring here and the weather getting a bit warmer, the Brown Recluse spiders are back

First to tackle curses. I said a cuss word today, it was to my boss too. I'm not worried, he knows why I said it, it was a natural dialogue between us. I said the s-word. Bad Mandy, but I did it because of the changes I am going to talk about. Change:

So, last night I got home, and I have been so sore from walking around the Zoo all day Sunday. Matt asked me what we were having for dinner. I was going through the mail and Pizza Hut sent me a coupon for $5 off thier new pasta dishes. So I told him,

Ok, so I didn't intend on my weekend being all girl, but it definitely turned out that way. Friday started with my bowling outing for work. I got there, said Hi to a few co-workers and then the event organizer came up and grabbed my arm and said, I have

Dieting: I am hungry. I mean, really hungry. My stomach is talking to me right now. It is saying "Feed me Mandy, you really think that little orange you ate 2.5 hours ago is going to make me feel good?" My stomach really sound like this MMMroooobrrrrattchhuuum.
