Trying to figure out what to do next in my crazy life. <br />Turns out that I had a second M/C. I go back to the doctor later this week to hopefully find out what the issue is. We want to have kids and we keep getting the same results so hopefully when we start trying again that the results will be different. <br /><br />We are taking a vacation to hopefully destress from all this stupid crap that keeps happening and then hopefully in mid 2010 we will try again.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-91719138320437954212009-11-18T10:45:00.000-08:002009-11-18T10:53:13.259-08:00NewsI'm. Bad blogger, I know. I haven't posted in some time only because life happened and I got wrapped up into it. Anyway, here are some things that have been going on:<br />1. We are finally settled into our house.<br />2. We will be hosting Thanksgiving<br />3. We are pregnant again. Ok so you ask again? Well I had a miscarrage a couple of months ago and not being one to give up, we are pregnant again. We goto the Dr in December to confirm. Right now I'm probably at 5 1/2weeks. I'm hoping that this time we will have a better out come. So my due date is around the end of July. I'm only having a little nauseau but no vomitting. Hubs says I need to tell my sister. I should but I'm waiting. We will see how things go. I'm still aprehensive since the M/C. <br /><br /><br />So that's the big news. I will try to blog more.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-18774328003998306552009-08-20T12:43:00.000-07:002009-08-20T12:52:04.649-07:00UpdatesOk so here are a few updates <br /><br />We finally moved into our new house and its huge and needs some work. I have painted and cleaned the main areas. I redid the kitchen cabinets (paint) and since the builder builds them on sight they're not the normal (standard) size. Because when I was unpacking and putting my expandable silverwar holder into the drawer the drawer was 1/2 an inch short! I couldn't believe it. I was so mad. So my husband had to rework the drawer and remove the expander. Totally upset. It fit in my old kitchen. I hate custom cabinetry and I have throughout my house. <br /><br />I'm in the process of removing the wallpaper upper boarder in the Master Bath. I hate wall paper with a passion. I have to get it removed before we rip up the carpet and tile. Which brings me to my next rant: Why would someone put carpet in a bathroom? Why? That's gross. So we will be removing the carpet and the tile to replace it all with new tile. I'm debating if I should put tile into the closet and get rid of the nasty carpet. Then I worry about resale value and if I would like tile in my closet. Any suggestions? (I probably won't get a response since I haven't posted in awhile) Oh well.<br /><br />I have other big new but I don't want to post it yet.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-21269251827917424492009-07-09T11:25:00.000-07:002009-07-09T11:30:09.571-07:00More UpdatesSo I'm very excited about this whole house thing. The only issue is that we will be spending a lot of money to fix it up to what we like. Watch out Lowes cuz your sales numbers are going to skyrocket. I'm just sad because there's a lot of other things that I want for myself too, not just the house. Oh well I guess I will have to keep waiting. <br /><br />I'm excited also because my nieces are coming to visit also. We're going to have so much fun. I can hardly wait. <br /><br />Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I've been super busy. But I do have a TAT story for next week.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-70933193252446167762009-07-08T10:50:00.001-07:002009-07-08T10:51:18.642-07:00We bought a houseI haven't blogged in awhile b/c I've been very busy with a lot of things.

Go check it out!<br /><br />Here goes nothing.<br /><br />It was my 23rd birthday and Christmas Eve. I had finished up with the family stuff and was headed to the bar. After arguing with my mom about wanting to go to the bar and her saying its Christmas Eve you shouldn't be going to the bar. Thank God for my Dad that told her its her birthday let her go to the bar. My dad rocks! <br />So I go to the popular bar in town that everyone frequents. Of course I go by myself since a lot of my friends are out of town. Obvious reasons. Since I frequent this bar a lot I know a lot of the staff so it was no big deal showing up by yourself. BTW I drove there too! Great combination. <br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Any who</span>, I'm drinking and low and behold my best friend shows up with his roommates. I start hanging out with them and drinking and doing shots. It was awesome. <br />Then I feel that feeling, ya know the one, when you know everything is going to come back up. I lean under the pub table and vomit! Where I remember seeing a piece of shrimp from dinner. Then I excuse myself and go into the bathroom and throw up again. I know I'm sexy! I know the someone saw me do this but I wasn't cut off or kicked out. How awesome is that!<br />I rinse out my mouth go back out and start drinking some more and pretend nothing happened.<br />Since my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">best friend</span> and his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">roomies</span> took a cab to the bar they drove my car and me back to their place! Where I don't remember much but woke up early the next morning grabbed McDonald's and headed home to spend Christmas in bed. <br />Granted I can't drink like this anymore. Once I vomit I'm done drinking.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-30095287655095669152009-05-19T10:41:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:50:36.002-07:00Totally Awkward Tuesday<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Yay</span> TAT will go on. Thanks Tova.<br /><br />This happened to me last week. Hubs and I are planning a trip back to the Midwest and I've been emailing and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">FB</span> all of the "important" people that we are coming. By important I mean the ones that I really want to see and hang out with. <br />My old boss and I still have contact with each other and we're pretty good friends. We should be we shared an office for 3 years. I told him that we were planning on coming back and he said he was going to pick us up at the airport. (its 3 hrs away) kinda weird but <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">whatev</span>. Anyway Hubs wanted me to email old boss and make sure that he was for sure going to pick us up. <br />I told Hubs yeah I'll email him plus I have to tell him about the crazy dream I had too. (I'm known for these <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">outrageous</span> and very detailed dreams) <br />So I email old boss (I'm waiting for the moment I type old balls or something) and I tell him about the dream. Basically it was riding in his truck but I was driving and he was in the back. No big deal. <br />Old boss emails back. I wish you were in the back with me we'd have fun.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">WTF</span>... Weird...I think not.

One day falling into the next.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the end of the month when I get to see my nieces and nephews. Oh how I miss seeing them! I will be busy traveling East and then headed back home and then on to the Mid-west. My dogs will be missing us too!<br /><br />I think I should be entitled to go shopping for my travels.

I have an issue with my panties. I know how could someone have a problem with their panties.<br />Anyway, I had bought a bunch of new panties from Victoria Secret and the new ones have the tag imprinted on the fabric instead of the tag that sticks out. Which is awesome. So one day I'm in the bathroom and I look at my panties and think Oh my gosh I have my panties on backwards. But no I didn't they were thongs. How do you put thongs on backwards and not realize it. No Victoria Secret has put the tag imprint on the inside front on the panties. I had a freak out moment and then it was gone. <br />Other issue<br />I put my panties on inside out a lot. I don't do this intentionally I guess I'm not really paying attention. So last night after running and what not I was changing to go to bed. (No I didn't shower afterwards b/c I was being very lazy and didn't feel like it) So I look down at my panties while I'm peeing and notice that the VS on the front of them is VS and not <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SV</span>. The VS is against my body and not on the outside like it should be. So I go into the other room and tell my husband<br />ME: Guess what I did again?<br />Hubs: What<br />Me: point at my panties<br />Hubs: Laughing: Not again, you have a problem<br />Me: I know why can't I put my panties on the right way<br />Hubs: That's your TAT post.<br />Me: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">haha</span><br />So then we're laying in bed and he says<br />Hubs: I can't believe you didn't switch them to the right way<br />Me: Yea well I've already worn them the wrong way no point in switching now.<br /><br />I have put my panties on inside out like 5 times. I guess I get confused? I dunno.

If you need details or want to read other stories go <a href="http://fromkstopa.blogspot.com/2009/04/yeah-for-friday.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Ok</span> this happened to me about 9 years ago.<br /><br />I was out of town one weekend and on Monday morning when I was getting ready to head home my mom called and told me that Grandpa was really sick and she was heading out to go see him. She told me that it would be a good idea to head to where he lived to see him too. I was 4 hours out from where my Grandpa lived. He was in an assisted living center and had been having some issues with his health. I arrived at the assisted living place and my mom and soon to be <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">stepdad</span> (which I will call my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">stepdad</span> for easier <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">story</span> telling sake) where already there sitting by his bed. My Grandpa was sleeping. We sat there and talked and by early evening I decided to head home with my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Stepdad</span>. My mom stayed behind so that she could be with him. I hugged my Grandpa goodbye and left. When we got to the car my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Stepdad</span> said that my Grandpa opened his eyes and knew it was me hugging him. I called my sister on the way home and we planned on coming back the next day to see my Grandpa. <br />When I got home I was so exhausted from the emotionally draining day. I was home alone. I went to bed that night and slept with my door open since I was alone. I remember waking up at 5:15am and seeing a tall and broad dark shadow in the door way. I jumped out of bed and turned on every light upstairs in the house. I went and sat on my mom's bed and cried. All I could think about was my Grandpa, he was 6'3" with broad shoulders. I knew the shadow was my Grandpa. At about 5:30am my mom called and told me that Grandpa passed away 15minutes ago. She said that she was sleeping in the chair next to his bed and felt the blanket slip off her shoulder and felt as if someone was touching her shoulder. She woke up and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">grabbed</span> her <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">stethoscope</span> and went to my Grandpa's bedside to listen to his heart and lungs. She heard him take a deep breath and then he was gone. This was at 5:15am. She said that she called my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Stepdad</span> and he told her he was up because he woke up at 5:15am. <br />I told my mom that was very freaky but I'm glad that I got to see him yesterday and I'm glad that he got to see me. I then called my sister and brother and told them the news. <br />I think it was great that he came to say goodbye.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-41824527529016273432009-04-14T08:34:00.000-07:002009-04-14T08:38:00.019-07:00Totally Awkward Tuesday<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Ok</span> so I haven't posted in awhile but I have a story about my Hubby and he said I could use it and its hilarious. FYI I almost peed my pants when he told me this story.<br /><br />My hubby gets home from work early and will usually walk the dogs while he's waiting on me to get home. He gets home from work and lets the dogs out to do their business. He goes inside and goes upstairs and changes into his work out clothes so he can walk the dogs. He comes back down stairs and out to the garage to grab the dogs' leashes and hook the dogs up to go for the walk. That's when he looks down and realizes he's in his boxer shorts not his gym shorts. So let me recap he has his t-shirt on socks and shoes and boxer shorts. <br /><br />I know it would have been more awkward had he ended up walking outside where people would see him. But I think its awkward enough.

My <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">commute</span> is about an hour so I have a lot of time to think about things. It takes at least 20 minutes to get out of the city that my office is. I blame the drivers around me not having quick reflexes. The light turns green and they sit, then 3 seconds later the cars start to slowly move. It sucks. SUCKS!</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">Anyway I was thinking about how cool it would be to learn to be a stunt driver. I thought of this as I'm heading down the 4 lane highway and thinking if I had to do a U-turn it would be a lot cooler if I hit the e-brake and cranked the wheel. Oh how great to watch the driver's faces around me. Only problem is my luck I would end up rolling the car <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">cuz</span> I was driving too fast. Then I would have to explain to Hubby why I rolled the car. Being bored and wanting to see what would happen is not a good excuse. I still think it would be damn cool.</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">The other <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">scenario</span> I thought of was having people in the car with me that didn't know I was a stunt driver and doing the e-brake parallel park thing. That would be totally kick ass awesome. I know the looks on their faces would be priceless!</span><br /><br />I can't wait for Tova's Totally Awkward Tuesday next week <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">cuz</span> I have a hilarious story that involves the Hubby. Its great.

I will tell it some day...Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-69712717809437763482009-04-08T09:55:00.000-07:002009-04-08T11:07:49.364-07:00As seen on TV and other random rantsI really want Pro Caulk, caulking pro kit. I don't have anything that needs caulked right now but I just really want it. I'm sure I can find things to caulk. They make it look so easy to use. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Every time</span> I see the commercial for it I am totally mesmerized. Kinda like the Sham Wow. Which my in laws own and say they do work great. <br />I don't think I can write a whole lot about why I want the Pro Caulk and all its good qualities and why everyone should own it. I just think its so amazing. <br />So on to more important things like....<br /><br />I was thinking about this the other day. <br /><br />In the South people give gifts to their garbage man, postal worker, dry cleaners, lawn person...etc and usually during the Holidays. I remember around Christmas I was listening to the radio and they were talking about such things like leaving a case of beer next to your garbage can for the garbage man. Stuff like that. They were taking a poll if people still do that something extra for these employees. Basically "tip" the service worker. Well being from the North I have never heard of people tipping the garbage man. I have heard of the postman, hairdresser, waiter, you know that kind of normal stuff. <br />I know our garbage men up North didn't work as hard as they do down here because it was an automated garbage loader. Usually they never got out of the truck. So if you left them a case of beer they might end up leaving it on the curb. Here the garbage men manually dump the garbage. Would you really tip someone that does the job automatedly? (new word)<br /><br />Oh and Nada the Octomom is going to have a reality show on finding a b/f. What person in their right mind would want to walk into all that EXTRA baggage? <br />Yes, I'm a single mom of 14 kids. Wanna date me?<br />I like kids and all but 14? What guy wants to walk into that situation. I have single parent friends that find it hard enough to date someone when there's 1 or 2 kids. The show sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. <br />I like reality shows but I'm not obsessed. I probably won't be watching this one. No take that back. I definately won't be watching. I already don't watch DWTS, Idol, Bachelor, Biggest Loser..But I do watch the ones on Bravo. Housewives, Millionaire matchmaker, Top Chef, but I only religiously watch Top Chef. <br />My Husband whenever I cook something asks "What do you think the Top Chef judges would say about this dish?"<br />Its quite cute.<br />Ok back to work.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-23849555372060514272009-04-06T07:20:00.000-07:002009-04-06T07:25:32.605-07:00Monday Monday....Not so good to me. Well its cold here and I know people up North will wonder what's wrong with me. Its a high of 60 today when its normally 80. I'm a little cold and I'm super tired. <br />The dogs slept on my half of the bed last night so about every 2 hours I woke up trying to get comfortable and fall back asleep. By 5am the cars started to pass by and wake me up. Between the snoozing of the alarm and the cars passing by I got a little extra sleep. <br />I am happy b/c its my short day today. I have a Doctor's appointment this afternoon so I get to leave work early. Yay! Right now all I can think about is sleep. I want to crawl back into my bed and go to sleep. <br />I even thought about calling in to work today so that I could sleep later. But I didn't. Hopefully this week isn't too terribly boring!Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-80389942632029641722009-04-03T08:18:00.000-07:002009-04-03T08:29:53.240-07:00HelpOk so I've checked out the Help me pay for my Wedding blog found <a href="http://helpmepayformywedding.wordpress.com/">here</a> and it got me thinking about a couple of things. <br />1. Our wedding was expensive and we had no money saved for it. Thank God our parents chipped in and helped out. Plus we had a lot of contacts that also donated and helped out. I did the flowers with help from my bridesmaids, sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Since I'm not a big cake person we ordered one from the local grocery store. I wasn't about to drop $1,000 on cake! In all the wedding turned out perfect.<br />2. We are in the process of saving up for a down payment on a house and I got to thinking should I start a site where people can donate money towards my dream house. But then I thought its too much hassle and extra work that I don't think I have time for. But if I want something to happen I have to put my mind to it. Now I'm on the fence about this. Plus I don't deal with mean people well. I usually retaliate. What do you think?Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-70884104308988989582009-04-01T09:15:00.000-07:002009-04-01T09:19:51.551-07:00Totally Awkward TuesdayI know its a day late but I've been really busy. Thanks Tova for letting us share our Awkwardness.<br /><br />This happened to me on Monday. Here's some back story. I went shopping this weekend and bought some cute new tops. I wore one of the new tops to work on Monday. Its a little flowy and took some getting used to. Let's just say if the wind is blowing right the shirt would blow up and show everyone my bra. Awesome! <br />So I'm at the Doctor's office Monday afternoon and I had my umbrella in my purse so the umbrella handle was sticking out of my purse. The nurse calls me back to room me and I stand up and grab my purse and go to put it on my shoulder when the umbrella handle gets caught in my flowy shirt and I expose the receptionist. Very Awesome! Luckily he didn't see anything and wasn't paying attention. I shot this weird look at the nurse but she wasn't paying attention either. I guess I had the best awkward moment, Nobody noticed except me.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-40349650217010266652009-03-27T09:08:00.001-07:002009-03-27T09:09:59.603-07:00Relaxing Weekend AheadThis weekend we don't have anything planned and I'm super excited. I only have a hair appointment but besides that nothing is going on. We don't have to be anywhere or really do anything. I love looking forward to lazy days.

Its a true story and not as freaky as her story which you can read <a href="http://fromkstopa.blogspot.com/2009/03/freaky-fridays.html">here</a>. </div><div><br />Here's the back story...<br />My <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ex boyfriend</span> and I dated for 2 1/2 years, we lived together and he always referred to me as the wife when we would go out. Usually he was drunk and I would have to put up with him. He had this problem of blacking out when he was drinking. Anyway we broke up and after about 4 months we didn't talk at all. I ended up moving like 10 blocks away but we never ran into each other.<br /><br />Here's the story..<br />Hubby and I met and started dating, you know how it goes, guy meets girl, guy likes girl, guy buys girl a ring. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">yada</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">yada</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">yada</span>.<br />Our wedding day is here and most things go off without a hitch. So wedding is over and we arrive at the hotel that our reception is at. The hotel has 2 ballrooms. We have the smaller ballroom because the big ballroom was booked for another wedding. BTW we got married at the height of wedding season. I'm standing in the hotel lobby trying to figure out why the priest locked the photographer out of the church. (whole <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">nother</span> story) I look over and see the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ex boyfriends</span> uncle in a tux. I'm like why would he be here? Oh the other wedding. It takes a second and it dawns on me that the other wedding is my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ex boyfriends</span>! Yes you heard right my ex and I got married on the same day and had our receptions at the same place! Which I should have known b/c 3 weeks before I saw them listed in the paper under people who have applied for marriage licenses. I showed my sister and said what if they're getting married on the same day? She said that wouldn't happen.<br />GUESS WHAT IT DID!!!!<br />Ya know this might be the awkward freaky story.<br />So back to the story,<br />I ask the wedding <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">coordinator</span> at the hotel if the other couple was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">ex boyfriend</span>. She says yes why. I proceed to tell her that he's my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">ex boyfriend</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">In</span> her 20 years of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">coordinating</span> weddings for the hotel she has never had that happen. Crazy huh.<br />We end up going up stairs and toasting and I go to go to the bathroom and as I'm coming out of the bathroom I see <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">ex boyfriend</span>. I congratulate him and hug him and go back to my party. Well as I sit down Hubby says he needs to go to the bathroom, I tell him he should wait <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">cuz</span> you know who is in there.<br />All of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">ex boyfriends</span> friends came over and said hello and chatted (they were all drunk but whatever) but I never saw his new wife.<br />To this day I don't know what she looks like but I know I married up.<br /><br /><br /></div><a href="http://fromkstopa.blogspot.com/2009/03/freaky-fridays.html"></a>Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-51014764399821399052009-03-19T11:52:00.000-07:002009-03-19T12:07:53.892-07:00House HuntChicago was great! But its good to be back home where I don't have to bundle up and wear tons of layers. St. Pats weekend in Chicago was awesome! I recomend it to everyone. We are actually going to do it again next year. It will become our tradition. The only thing a brought back from Chicago was...................a cold! <br />Right now I have a raspy voice. Its kinda sexy, if that kinda thing could be sexy. <br /><br />I'm back at work and its really nice outside, so its making it really hard to work. I have also been looking at houses in our area to buy. We're saving up our down payment b/c I don't want to be house poor. I don't want to spend all our savings on a house. So lately we have been living poor so that future us can live happy. I found this one house that looks awesome! Unfortunately the paint on the inside is a bit too old fashioned for me. As in mauve walls aren't my style. I think its funny how the listing agent spins the bad parts of a home. Like "charming" home, meaning small. Or priced so that future owners can do upgrades, so its a fixer upper. I have already been the fixer-upper route and I'm going to pass. Hubby and I have agreed that the only fixing up we will do is paint and even that might be pushing it. See the old house I painted every room and when we went to sell it I repainted a couple of rooms. I'm sick of painting. Hubby sucks at painting. I think b/c he chooses to. He knows that if he does a crappy job at something I won't make him do it ever again. "Smart"thing he learned from his dad. I don't have the patients to teach him proper painting techniques. The other issue is trying to paint when you have 2 dogs that have to follow you everywhere you go. In the old house, one of our dogs stepped in the paint tray and then walked through the house. It was fun cleaning that up when you have new carpet. Luckily the paint was the same color as the carpet so not as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">noticeable</span>.Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-10540519279160512562009-03-12T08:22:00.001-07:002009-03-12T08:50:34.704-07:00Green is in the airI'm super excited today even with the lack of sleep I got last night. We leave for Chicago tonight and I''m pumped. I'm not pumped that it will be cold but I'm pumped that I get to see the river dyed green and the parade and other cool stuff. <br />I haven't been to Chicago since I was 9, I'm not counting making a connecting flight or taking someone to the airport. The hotel we are staying at is right on the parade route too. Its going to be a cold but good time. I'm <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span> with it being cold <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">cuz</span> this weekend is supposed to be pretty crappy here in TX. <br /><br />Other issues.....I know this is going to sound bad but I don't care.<br /><br />I told my husband that I want to have a baby before my sister in law has #3. We'll guess who will be trying for a new baby. <em>HINT not me.</em> <br />I know that it sounds stupid. Hubby and I have talked about having children and we both want them but now isn't a good time. I know if we didn't move we probably would have a child right now. But the moving thing and getting settled and all had delayed some plans. I know that I shouldn't plan when I want to have kids around someone else and I'm by no means thinking of getting pregnant any time soon either. I guess I'm indifferent about it. We have a lot going on right now and throwing a baby into the mix would not be a good thing. I guess I didn't think that they would be trying anytime soon. I guess its the I wanted to be the one who had the next kid not her. Oh well. <br /><br />We'll I hope everyone has a good weekendUp Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-78538740154868720052009-03-09T09:15:00.000-07:002009-03-09T09:28:31.885-07:00MOnday already<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0LL6KBHweqU7jULT-FTbf5cxk1fC5WgWpauXLi0gMSxYS7AGmtUR5t6_wf6liBz6tnouNm1MtRYYbxNGrdqnRzlGbyWgRR_lDX9konvr4O5Kj1V-x8YdtQXPrcciOMZC_qrGDBQcuY-c/s1600-h/sounds_like_someone_has_a_case_of_the_mondays_mug-p168806654873870175trpx_210.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311225615882277362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0LL6KBHweqU7jULT-FTbf5cxk1fC5WgWpauXLi0gMSxYS7AGmtUR5t6_wf6liBz6tnouNm1MtRYYbxNGrdqnRzlGbyWgRR_lDX9konvr4O5Kj1V-x8YdtQXPrcciOMZC_qrGDBQcuY-c/s320/sounds_like_someone_has_a_case_of_the_mondays_mug-p168806654873870175trpx_210.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I can't believe that its Monday already. Boy the weekend flew by. We had perfect weather too. Saturday was really breezy but it was very warm. I'm getting used to this warm weather thing and not having to shovel snow or wear a bunch of layers. Sunday was perrrrrrrfect. It was 80, humid, and sunny. We got a lot of yard work done. Hubby cut down a tree! He is very proud of himself and wanted to cut more down. I had to put a stop to this. He over came his urge to chop stuff down. No I guess it would be the urge to chainsaw stuff down, (Plus he broke the chain) so we went to Lowes. But we only got Batteries and the paint stuff you put on the exposed stump. </div><br /><div>I'm totally excited for next weekend cuz we are going to Chicago for St. Patty's, which is my favorite holiday, even more than Christmas. So we had to go shopping to buy warm clothes for the trip. Let me tell ya its very hard to find and shop for warm clothes when all the spring/summer stuff is out and is totally cute. The first store I ended up buying 2 short sleeved shirts and 2 camis. Not warm clothing. So I ended up finding a long button up sweater at Dillards. The check out lady gave us an odd look when we were buying it. Hubby told her we were going to Chicago for the weekend so she said oh ok. Yes there's nothing wrong with me, its 80 degrees outside and I'm buying a sweater. No I'm not over the age of 70. </div><br /><div>I'm hoping that I will be warm enough and it won't be to cold. I have a fealing that the wind will be a bitch.</div>Up Rootedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14654192812918597412noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449699509921722916.post-13555059271713865992009-03-04T13:03:00.000-08:002009-03-04T13:20:51.453-08:00Sweet Tooth<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOzqNxnf1wO6aCz0Vc0TMGNtbZt6IKeiKNeXRlYI2ZBH1nI2gkky2zhK1s63LwRuHSWhHn0jUB-f1tZX_u8LpVGFAQgVvsCSUtJ8AkfeZzXftZ7tgDYTlTn0nJ9ixykegiPiWrB1GyHU/s1600-h/cheesecake.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309443724640659058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 222px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaOzqNxnf1wO6aCz0Vc0TMGNtbZt6IKeiKNeXRlYI2ZBH1nI2gkky2zhK1s63LwRuHSWhHn0jUB-f1tZX_u8LpVGFAQgVvsCSUtJ8AkfeZzXftZ7tgDYTlTn0nJ9ixykegiPiWrB1GyHU/s320/cheesecake.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div>I have a severe sweet tooth. I can be sitting watching TV and out of the blue I will look at Hubby and say I have a craving for......(insert whatever dessert). He just laughs at me. Its bad, I'm a dentist's dream patient! I love sugar. I'm not diabetic, I'm borderline Hypoglycemic, but otherwise I love sweets. I can sit and eat a bag of candy and not stop, and then complain about a tummy ache. I know not to eat all the candy but its <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">soo</span> good. I love anything chocolate or gooey or syrupy. Sometimes I think I should open a bakery. But I know that I couldn't b/c I would want to eat everything I sell. So now you're wondering why I'm blogging about this.... </div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div>Well I have had a craving for cheesecake, and Hubby doesn't like cheesecake, so it makes it hard to bake a whole cheesecake and have to eat it all by myself. Not that I'm complaining but usually my craving only lasts until its satisfied and then I move on to the next craving. Very crazy. I think Hubby has a hard time keeping up with my odd cravings. </div><br /><p>The other thing I've been craving is carrot cake. I'm not sure why but it sounds supper yummy. Maybe its the cream cheese frosting. Maybe I could be the new spokes person for Philadelphia cream cheese? I dunno what the deal is. </p><p>But I'm super happy I found my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Starburst</span> Jelly beans! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwPgdzp113ZnSIVpYrWCLYyPUG-Eos6spxOFEeuXoj2Nz86dTFf9a8zDIaNFM_n41JK0K6RmdR-lXhJ5V8mS2bQx8U7yIAJsaT2HT0vpj0Y9N3YHLN-siZykU6ywXDgySy9KfhBZbspw/s1600-h/627208392.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309445259816551394" style="WIDTH: 75px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 75px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMwPgdzp113ZnSIVpYrWCLYyPUG-Eos6spxOFEeuXoj2Nz86dTFf9a8zDIaNFM_n41JK0K6RmdR-lXhJ5V8mS2bQx8U7yIAJsaT2HT0vpj0Y9N3YHLN-siZykU6ywXDgySy9KfhBZbspw/s320/627208392.jpg" border="0" /></a> I love this time of year when all the Easter Candy is out.
