New Car

Posted Monday, January 28, 2008 6:55 PM

We bought a new car this weekend! We sold my old car to my dad, and it is sitting in my driveway waiting to be cleaned and get new tags so we can drive it up there. Car shopping was not that bad b/c we knew what we wanted. I think we got a pretty good

Car Update

Posted Wednesday, January 23, 2008 6:11 PM

So DH seems to be on the same page as me - he thinks we should buy a car now so we can pay it down before we have a baby (and have to purchase other expensive items), he doesn't want to hurry unless we can get a fantastic deal, he doesn't want any parents

It is always something with me . . .

So my car had to go in the shop - and it needs a catalytic converter (which costs about as much as my car is worth) . . . so DH and I have pretty much decided to go ahead and buy a new car - we were hoping my car could hold out for a couple more years

Things have been super busy lately. We have been to my parents' the two weekends after Christmas, and last weekend we finally got a weekend home. Well, this week - eek! Sunday evening I drove with the ladies down to NC for some training until Tuesday

Waiting for AF to go away

Posted Thursday, January 10, 2008 6:05 PM

I want to have some fun with DH, but AF is still sticking around. That's the only sad part of going off BCP - my periods were longer and lots worse cramps before. It will also be sad to not TTC right away - but getting pg right now would not be good.

Almost finished with Xmas

Posted Wednesday, January 09, 2008 4:20 PM

The tree is down and put away, and the only thing left is taking down the outdoor lights (which DH will have to get the step ladder and help me do). That will probably get done Saturday. I am excited to get onto other projects anyways. I am going to start

Upstairs . . .

Posted Tuesday, January 08, 2008 5:48 PM

. . . down Nest time. Now that I'm in a cubicle upstairs instead of an office downstairs, I can't look at the blogs as much . . . and after sitting at a computer all day, I really don't want to get on ours at home, so nestie time and looking at baby stuff

Explaining TTC to DH - again

Posted Friday, January 04, 2008 2:52 PM

So last night I made DH go with me to Kroger so I could get some caffeine to keep me awake until the big game (which I don't want to talk about - fire Stinespring already!). I got back in the truck and told him I got him a surprise . . . and then somehow

Just another Thursday in Paradise

Posted Thursday, January 03, 2008 2:54 PM

So I just got done talking with my boss about this loan, so now I can actually finish it!!!!!!!!! I sat around doing nothing waiting on him all day yesterday, which was really frustrating - I like when I'm busy on the job. And I had to drive DH's truck

Yesterday was great - can I have some more?

Posted Wednesday, January 02, 2008 3:30 PM

I really enjoyed my day off yesterday. I had a list that I thought was doable, but I didn't get half of it done. I did go shopping and get some good work tops at 50% + an extra 50% off, so that was good. And then I came home and put away all the Xmas
