I love Black Friday. I got up at 3:45, took my shower and got dressed, and was at JCPenneys by 4:30. While shopping, I found out that B. Moss is closing - the whole chain is going out of business! I almost started crying in the store - I LOVE that store,

Today started out well enough, until I started thinking about traveling and tomorrow and dealing with family, and how I'd love to put both mothers in a room and let them bully each other until they're done. I'm tired of trying to stick to the plan we

Telling people to ask me if I'm pregnant or tell me how good I look holding a baby? I've been asked/told this twice already today. Not to mention numerous times over the past few months. And all the comments I'll probably get at Tgiving. I'm so over it.

Ladies, I'm looking for something like this: I have - TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Belk, Penneys, Macy's, BMoss, Kohl's . . . I think those are the basics. I found the pic at Nordstrom, it's on sale, and I like it, but I have a hard time ordering things

I think my boss just said we get casual Friday this week! That would be so amazing. We normally get casual Wednesday, but I will gladly switch if it means I don’t have to do Black Friday in dress clothes! Granted, I’ll still have to wear khakis and a

First off, let me relate this story that illustrates my klutziness. I left my phone in the bathroom last night, so I started edging around the bed (in the dark) to go get it, trying to avoid tripping on clothes or slamming into the dresser, and WHAM!

Oh.My.God. I woke up this morning with killer cramps (I took Midol immediately, and 1.5hrs later it started to work). I still have some cramps, but I am definitely a Midol convert after the last few times. So, no Christmas announcement, but we still have

Another BFN this morning - like I didn't see that coming. I told DH last night I thought it would be, and that I felt like a failure, like there's something wrong with me. It was so easy the first time, why is it so hard now? He told me some people try

It blew snow all yesterday, and last night we came out of the basketball game to snow covered ground and bushes. It was so pretty. I hate cold, but I like snow. I've started my Black Friday research. I'm one of the crazies that gets up at 4am the day

The weekend was good. DH finished his marathon; I am so proud of him. Now he's in recovery mode. Wednesday is POAS day if AF's not here by then. At work, they decided (after everyone accepted their Xmas party invites) that they were not going to cover

I am here, just thought I'd let everyone know since I haven't blogged in a few. Just not much going on - being a boring married lady. I promise I will get Halloween and tailgate pics up - they are on FB for those who are my friends there, but they don't

It was a great night. The football game was good; we won, and our redshirt freshman running back had a school record 253 rushing yards in a game. I can only imagine what he’s going to be like once he learns how to evade some of the downfield defenders;

Ah . . . I sit at my desk and look at our big pack of season basketball tickets and sigh dreamily. They are so pretty and maroon. I can smell basketball in the air. Season tickets for Hokie basketball. I look forward to the start of the season (which

This has no relation to anything, but I just heard someone refer to a lady by the name of Candy. *Apologies if this is your name*, but that name bugs me. What parents decided that would be a good name, and why? The thing is, it was a fairly popular name

Ah, it's that most special of times in Blacksburg - a Thursday night football game (this week). See, we Hokies love football, we especially love night games, and probably our favorite-ist thing in the whole world is a Thursday night football game . It

Think I just ovulated - mittelschmerz (sp?) on the left side . . . guess that means I'm on track for a 35 day cycle. Looks like my new (post m/c) normal is 34-35 day cycles instead of 30-32 day cycles.

So we have been doing the split-holiday thing: Thanksgiving with one family, Christmas with the other, and we alternate each year. This year Tgiving is with DH’s family and Xmas is with my family. **I really hate this and just wish we could have everyone

Last month, it was my MIL talking to the family friend, psychic J. Today, a coworker (that I'm not at all close to) told me in front of the whole office (we had a regional meeting) that she had a dream about me this weekend. She dreamed that I had a red-haired
