I go to the park at lunchtime and eat my packed lunch. It's the highlight of my rather boring workday. I don't know how people can stay and eat in the lunch room when you can have an hour break away from the office. The playground at the park is always

Well, amidst all the family drama, I am trying to stay positive and happy. Thought I would make a list to remind me that things are not bad. Top Chef is on tonight. I love this show. I wish I could be 1/10th as good as these people are. Go Richard! My

So much for all my plants. Our freaking garden is going to die! Who has enough blankets and sheets to cover a 75' x 55' garden. And my annuals, they will be down the drain. I am praying the darn weather man is mistaken!

Okay, well, it's not entirely free, but close enough. We were invited to go to South Carolina with friends this summer for a week. Apparently, said friends parents have a time share that they didn't use this year, since they went on a cruise. So, they

The Good - DH finally got paid for his side job. Way more than we were expecting. It was actually shocking. Anyway, this allows us to do some fun things. We each took out a portion to shop with. So that is exciting, because we were going to try to suspend

So, we finally ordered our blinds for the house. We have lived there for over a year and just kept putting it off. I am sure everyone who drives by has seen a peek or two of us. Oh well. I put the order in on Saturday. We had to order all custom shades.

Why do I feel like I was born without the maternal instinct gene? I will admit, reading all the posts on the nest has me thinking more and more of babies. But I still feel like I am not cut out for motherhood. I see how much women get excited about being

I love my pup. I really do, but she is driving me bonkers. Last night we found a tick on her neck. They are very common up here, and we have deer ticks (carry Lyme Disease). We usually buy some Frontline for her, but my DH has still not called the vet.

I am feeling awful today. I have the worst cramps ever, and Ibuprofen doesn't seem to be touching the pain. Work is a little slow, so that just exacerbates the pain because I have nothing to distract me. I tried to drink some tea with Dong Quai (supposed

Well, it's our 3 year anniversary today. And to commemorate the day, the weather has decided to mimic our wedding day and rain all day long. It sure doesn't seem like it's been that long, yet we have been through a lot. We have been through job loss,

Well, DH has been working every night for the past week, so I have been alone. Normally I wouldn't mind. It allows me to get some stuff done like cleaning, and yardwork, and reading. But, the house is spotless, there isn't anymore yardwork to do until

Grocery shopping - This by far has to be my least favorite thing to do. We have always done this together, even when we were dating and buying our own food. I hate doing it alone. The cart gets heavy, so its hard to push around all the corners. People

We have been living in our home for about a year now. All the walls are still bare. I haven't put up any pictures or anything. We kind of changed all the colors from our apartment days. So now, none of my previous decor matches. I need some inspiration

So, I posted a while back about getting an anniversary present for DH. I tossed around the idea of a watch. Well, I went shoppping this weekend just to browse, but found the perfect watch for a bargain no less. I had a budget in mind. The watch I picked

Okay, I try not to nag. I really do, but my husband cannot remember anything. Its the most frustrating thing ever. Not only does he not remember things, he loses things too. Just last week, he lost the pin that hooks the trailer to the lawn tractor. The
