Packrat Protest

The dreaded time has come.
Earlier this week Mikey said the words I feared most as we were taking Gunnar for his nightly walk.
“Remember to bring home some boxes from work, because Saturday I’m boxing in the office.”
 
By “boxing,” my husband didn’t mean going a few rounds with Mike Tyson. He meant the time has come [...]

My Maiden Scrapbooking Voyage

I haven’t been on the treadmill in about a week.
I was averaging 3 miles a night every night, and now I can’t tear myself away from the table. AHHHH! I told Mikey I’m so torn, and he said we should try to rig up scrap booking while walking. We laughed at how dangerous that [...]

Pregnancy Update:

I feel like I look like a fat ol’ whale. I’m wearing the same damn five outfits and I want to cry every time I look in my closet at all my stuff. My cute skinny jeans. All my trendy tops and brightly colored button-downs and blouses for work. My super-sleek work wardrobe including rows [...]

This Just Closed…

 
 
1.         Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
I saw this movie a long time and decided to read the book, which is
the first in a three-series chronicle. It wasn’t a long book, but it seemed really long and drawn out, to me.  Plus, there were a few of parts that made me a little [...]

The Ultimate Redemption

        “Just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber, you go and do a thing like this… and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!!”
                                             ~ Harry Dunn, “Dumb and Dumber”
 
I’ll admit I was irritated with my husband a couple days ago. I’m sure a lot of it had to do with my own sleep deprivation and body comfort [...]

I do NOT heart HEARTBURN.

So a new symptom of pregnancy has reared its ugly head for a few weeks running now.
HEARTBURN.
Dammit. I’ve never had it before in my life. In fact, the first few time I wasn’t even sure what was happening. I’ve enjoyed spicy foods and all the caffeinated beverages and citrus I felt like eating. I haven’t ever [...]

We’re not in Kansas anymore!

It was a dark and stormy night.
Okay – it wasn’t stormy, but it was definitely dark as hell. Mikey, Heather, and their three friends pack the truck and hop in to begin a leisurely evening drive to the mountains. They stopped at Mikey’s parents to drop off Mikey and Heather’s dog for the weekend, [...]

Ah, the Land of Nod used to be such a happy place…

I’ve unfortunately been having problems sleeping lately, only about this past week. I know it will get worse as time goes by, but it’s already frustrating and definitely taking a toll on my love life, if you know what I mean. It’s not that I can’t sleep, it just that it’s becoming increasingly UNCOMFORTABLE to [...]

Gotta go, gotta go…

Still peeing all the time. I’m optimistic that it’s subsided a little, but still less than favorable.
I think she’s sitting on my bladder, and I know it’s only going to get worse as she gets bigger.
Also, I’m a little concerned that all this healthy walking I’m doing may jostle her lower? Is that [...]

The Traveling Birthday Wagon

We did it.
We were able to fit three birthday celebrations into one weekend, and I’m spent.
February and June are our biggest birthday months (with June about to get even bigger.)  My brother’s girlfriend Sandy’s birthday is February 3rd, followed by my friend Carrie’s birthday on the 7th. My sister Crystal’s birthday is the [...]
