Sweet Tea Vodka

Posted Friday, January 30, 2009 2:46 PM

DH is gone to a conference today and won't get back until around midnight, so I thought this would be the perfect time to crack open the bottle of sweet tea vodka I bought a couple months ago. The ladies at work swear by it, and say to mix it with lemonade

Posted Wednesday, January 28, 2009 11:14 AM

It is getting close to the end of January. Time It seems like each year goes by faster and faster. Last night DH and I hammered out our thoughts on the bedroom suite and went to the store, but it closed early due to the freezing rain and iciness. So we

The title is the email I sent my husband. I just found out that we will be contacted within the next month to discuss renovations on our house (badly needed if you've read past posts). To replace windows, roof, exterior doors and vinyl siding. Yay! Even

The latest on my bedroom suite

Posted Tuesday, January 27, 2009 8:47 AM

I think I have convinced Mike to go for the furniture set – if we can get the price down a bit. I called Mom and asked if she thought it was a good deal, and she told me to check every inch of it, make sure it was really solid wood and not solid wood

Is this a good deal? Furniture buying help needed!

Posted Monday, January 26, 2009 2:48 PM

Well, I went to Grand Piano and looked at the bedroom suite, and got someone to help me. I asked all my questions, and then asked what was the best deal they could do for the set as advertised (queen bed frame, nightstand, bureau, and mirror) plus the

AF, anatomy, and a bedroom suite?

Posted Monday, January 26, 2009 9:15 AM

Aunt Flow has arrived. At least I didn’t waste a test this month. I never thought having babies would take this long or be this difficult to deal with. Oh well, this just gives me the chance to get in better shape and start training for the 5K and the

I'm ready for spring

Posted Friday, January 23, 2009 1:23 PM

I told DH that last night, and he said he agreed after the past week of single digit temps and waking up to a bedroom that's 45 degrees and a living room that's 60 degrees (with the woodstove in that room). Since it's supposed to be in the 50s today (not

Posted Thursday, January 22, 2009 8:51 AM

I finally got to the gym this morning! I tried to go yesterday after work, but I got there and there was not one machine available! I forgot how much I hate students coming back to campus. They all try to go to the gym for a week or two at the beginning

Today was my EDD

Posted Wednesday, January 21, 2009 9:39 AM

Today was my estimated due date. And I am okay with that. Right now, I can’t imagine being big pregnant and about to deliver. So much has happened in the last nine months, and maybe a lot of it wouldn’t have happened if I’d been pregnant. There are still

Long-Awaited Ugly Xmas Sweater Party Pic

Posted Thursday, January 15, 2009 9:03 PM

Don't we look hot?! I can't remember the others I promised, and they're all stuck on my hard drive anyways, so you'll have to wait until I get them to an online album. I have accomplished a bit tonight, organized some cattle registration papers, printed

I'm Pretty Boring Lately

Posted Thursday, January 15, 2009 2:23 PM

Not much has happened this week besides me not getting much done for having to go to basketball games and run errands. Tonight we have no basketball game, no TV shows to watch, no after-work errands to run. I'm hoping I can come home, start the laundry,

Posted Tuesday, January 13, 2009 9:49 AM

You may be wondering why we decided to drive to PA in the middle of a snow and ice storm. Well, it was my cousin’s christening (the one born in October), and it was my first opportunity to see my uncle since he got back from Iraq. Since they are stationed

Grandiose ideas

Posted Thursday, January 08, 2009 3:30 PM

Because I don't have enough on my plate *snicker* . . . this is what I have been thinking about over the last few days. I am still slightly obsessed with the possibility of making doll clothes, quilts, etc. for money (an aside - I have been since I was

Time to put on my big girl panties

Posted Tuesday, January 06, 2009 11:14 AM

I have had ZERO motivation over the past few days. I've been able to accomplish some things at work, but nothing at home. Christmas is still up, we are not fully unpacked from our trip, the dishes are piling up, I have a ton of little things and some

Checkin' in

Posted Monday, January 05, 2009 9:14 AM

Not a whole lot important to report last week or this. I have made a whole page of 2009 goals, DH and I were super lazy over the weekend (we got nothing done), and it's my first full week of work in 2 weeks, which will be weird. We buried Toby yesterday.
