Once your house gets ripped apart it's the waiting for it to be put back together that seems to drag on and on. Today things really seem to be turning more towards that putting back, and I am so grateful. First of all that arch that I've missed, it's back! He asked me if it …

I’m over it; or plumbers are messy
Oh you guys. I want a clean house, like yesterday. But instead yesterday I got the messiness that is plumbing work. And um, yuck. I mean, good, I'm glad we're getting it done, but ewwww. The bathroom received more holes: Which may not look like it, but is actually a good thing. We did think …
It’s good to be home
Yes, it's good to be home, no matter how much of a disaster home is right now. Bj and I got home very early on Saturday morning from a trip down to California. We went down to take grandpa's remains to rest with his wife at Riverside National Cemetery. It was sad, as I knew …
Baby love – a baby shower!
This weekend my grandma threw me a baby shower, which was so lovely. It was up at her house so a lot of my family got to come (we live an hour south of most of my mom's family). My mom called me the day before to see if I had bought my grandma a …
I love going to my mom’s
When things are crazy and loud and cold at my house, sometimes it's just the ticket. Taken with my iPhone yesterday. I know Bj, dangerous! But I didn't drop it. 🙂 Baby loves this. It moves around like a little nutball in there when I'm soaking. I just sit there and watch it and think …
I couldn’t live like that.
So yesterday we had our windows dropped off by a friend (who sells windows, convenient, no?). I was showing him around and I said, "I just can't wait until everything is clean." And he said something like, "Ya, I couldn't live like this." That's when I realized that it really is crazy. I'm freaking pregnant! …
I don’t know about you, but crafting always makes me feel better.
So ya, that totally sucked. I'm still not over it (the tree cutting thing). Today I peaked out my bathroom window to see what my neighbor was doing and he was sitting in his driveway on a lawn chair facing our house. Creepy. Ugh. I talked to the neighbors on the corner about the flood …

I weep for them
Two days ago I came back from a walk around my neighborhood to teenagers in my yard with chainsaws. This is never a sight one wants to see, especially when they have ropes dangling from the tops of arborvitae separating you and a neighbor (and the view of the intersection). I was upset, though the …
The easiest baby hat ever!
It worked! This is seriously from a rectangle of knitting, NO DECREASES, NO DOUBLE POINTED NEEDLES. I may know people afraid of these things (and they shouldn't be), this resolves all their hat fears. You do have to seam up the back: But I doubt many would notice it much. Especially because the sides are …
The big bad baby post
Typepad’s spell check is over working again (all words show up as spelled wrong) is this happening to anyone else? So I’ve got this thing in my belly. Three pounds of baby that likes to smash its self against my side and make me wonder where food is going to fit in a month or …
