I am so happy, relaxed, and excited about today. I think the relaxation is due to being able to wear jeans and a Halloween shirt to work today (one of 2 or 3 times a year I can wear jeans). The happiness because I am relaxed and looking forward to this

I was mean to my husband this morning. He tried to take the throw from me instead of using the other throw. He literally tried to pull it off me and was being ridiculous about it. So I told him he was acting like a child and I was tired of it. I was tired

It’s that time of the year again . . . yes, getting ready for Christmas, but more importantly, paying our car insurance. We pay in a lump sum to reduce the cost, but it makes DH’s credit card bill massive this month (we do it this way to build up airline

This weekend I was super domestic. I made shortbread cookies, made some chocolate candy, and made chocolate dipped pretzels for Halloween. I am working on more candy to try and mail my family (have to do some research on what and how to mail today). I

So busy day today, but good day. After work I have to go home and do my hair for my choir concert, then go to the venue and set up tables for refreshments afterwards, then warm-up, concert! and then home to prep for Burning Bridges at Awful Arthurs! I

when I wish I was single and could be selfish with my money. I just went in B Moss while I was looking for a concert shirt, and they have TONS of great stuff right now! I mean, I could seriously buy the whole store. Super cute plaid skirts, tops, clearance,

I preface this by noting that I grew up on a farm, have seen a lot of sick animals, and am not normally a hypochondriac when it comes to my pets. My dachshund is sick. When I got home Sunday night, I noticed his belly was all bloated but figured some

See my blog for posts with my cousins and the quilt. I wrote them yesterday, and they published as yesterday instead of when I edited them.

but I jumped on the scale this morning and it said "137". I said something along the lines of "that's impossible, but I'll take it". I really didn't eat a lot this weekend, and it wasn't particularly healthy or bad food, but all I did was sit (in a car,

Here are pictures of the baby quilt. The pattern is a single Irish chain block alternated with plain squares. The piecing of the top went really fast; the quilting was the long part. I started working on it in June(?) and just quilted on and off when

The trip was worth it. Little cousin C is so adorable! He is so strong for a week old baby – he was holding his head up some already! Cousin S (his 2yr old big sister) has grown so much. I knew it had been a while since I had seen her, but I didn’t realize

This evening I’ll be off to meet Dad and head to see my mom and sis. And then tomorrow morning we will head up to PA. 3 hours tonight, 3 hours tomorrow, hotel overnight, 6 hours back Sunday. A whirlwind trip, but I’ve done lots of those. It will be worth

So I thought my MIL was just spouting off like usual when she said regular Coke would taste gross after I started drinking Coke Zero, etc. I just popped open a regular Coke for the afternoon (bad I know), and it tastes gross! I can still drink regular

I love my coworkers. One brought Panera bagels this morning - I love Asiago cheese bagels with cream cheese on top. Heaven. I think I am going to try and go to PA to see my new cousin this weekend. DH has to stay home - no one else is available to cover

Columbus Day is one of those days I get off, so I had a long weekend. Other than playing mind games with AF, here are some things I did. 1. Woke up Saturday with a scratchy throat, Sunday with a nasty sinus/head cold. Sudafed is wonderful. Tissues are

Well, we have an answer. AF finally arrived in force last night/this morning. I felt the cramps as soon as I went to bed last night. All day I was thinking maybe – and then nothing. DH and I kinda figured with all the negative tests there was no way,

Another BFN this morning, no AF yet. The only thing I can figure is my body decided it didn't like normal 30 day cycles and went back to post-m/c 34 day cycles? That would mean AF is due Monday, and I've been wasting tests. Guess we'll see. I think I'm

Volleyball was fun, but a bit more of a workout than I remembered. Especially when I had to do the backwards over my head move to get the ball over the net. Never fear, I am not a diver or anything like that, so the abdomen is fine if there's something

So I tested - BFN. DH said, "we'll see - those tests can be wrong." I appreciate his sweetness, but I am just confused now. Decide one way or another!!!!

So I just got back from Joann Fabrics where I scored black fabric for my choir concert skirt (that's another post) and a great purple and black fabric for a dress pattern I have. It was supposed to be a quick trip to Joann's, but as is the way with that

As I have nothing remotely interesting to write about, I'll write about how even now after my breakfast of oatmeal and my morning snack of Coke Zero, string cheese, and two Life Savers mints, I am hungry for munchies. Chips, candy, anything. I could eat

I fell asleep on the couch at 9pm last night reading. Because of my extra sleep, I was tired during loan committee and was ready to put my head down and nap on the boardroom table. I have to quit reading and start on my doing - no winter hibernation and

Saturday morning I tested, even though it was 3-5 days early, because DH’s friends kept asking was I sure I didn’t want a drink the night before, and I knew they’d notice at the tailgate. I got a BFN and had one beer during the day. I was super tired

I want to test – like now. Dumb, as the earliest I calculated AF arriving is Monday (3 days away) and the more likely date is 5 days away. Ugh. God is still trying to teach me patience, and it is still a hard lesson for me. My lips have been dry and chapped

So for all of you who think I'm so motivated - I did jack squat last night. I ran some errands after work, DH made supper, I went to the gym and read/watched TV/quilted. I was going to clean out the fridge but DH beat me to it, and guess what, a month

I spent 40 minutes on the elliptical last night after choir practice - I got home about 10:45 and ended up doing some laundry, etc, and reading until almost midnight (which is very late for me on a weeknight). I also spent some time on the computer before
