a day of rest

i got all my cleaning plus all the laundry done yesterday and today i am not going to do anything. i was so tired last night. it was like after 9pm and i was still folding towels. i think every towel that we own was dirty!! when cleaning the kitchen i took everything off the counter, gave it a really good cleaning, and rearranged stuff to change it up a bit. i like to move things around every now and then to give it a new look. :) my front room (where the computer is) is a disaster. we had to pull the carpet up. it was nasty from the previous people. the sad thing about it is - there is a hard wood floor under the carpet that would have been awesome to refinish, but someone PAINTED it!!!! that requires way to much work to try and get back to looking nice. i think we are going to have linoleum put in and put braided rugs down. it will be easy to keep up. in the meantime though - the floor looks like a mess, everything is all over the place, and it has that just moved in look to it. i am sure it will look nice when we finish in here, if we ever finish in here. i know how i want this room to look. the only progress that we have made is the paint on the walls and ripping the carpet out! i want this room to have that "parlor" "sitting room" look to it. i still want my buffet and two wing back chairs. the salvation army and thrift shops have some nice choices - i just need the extra money to work with. that five letter word always seems to get in the way of things!!

it is a chilly 45 F and time for another cup of hot coffee!

dear blog

once again i have neglected my blog! i am such a bad "blog parent". i haven't given it the attention that i should. i don't know what is going on with me lately, i have been so tired when i come home from work that sitting in front of the computer is the last thing i want to do. i have a doc appointment on monday so i will mention it to him and see what he says. maybe i am lacking something (ya - energy!). i have to force myself to get motivated. i hate feeling like this - it is the most frustrating thing. like today for example - i have a ton of stuff to do around the house and it is going to take everything out of me to get up and get it done. i never use to be that way.

so i hope everyone is doing fine today in the blog world. i need to spend more time plurking as well. i like all the friends that i have on there. it would help if i didn't have this darn "dial-up" then i could just leave everything up and come to it during the day. even if i could afford broadband i would still have a problem because the companies are very limited that can offer that service here because of that zone thing and internet rights. the companies that can offer it are not that good. so i just keep telling myself - this is better than no internet service at all. at least i have something!

time for me to toddle off and get going on my chores for the day! oh - and the one million dollar question has been answered and it is not even noon yet: "what is for dinner?" spaghetti! hubj personally requested it. so spaghetti it shall be.

everything pink!

Yesterday I found out (along with little mama) that I am going to have a grand-daughter! It was a bumpy ride there and back because we had to take the connector bus because hubJ had the car. I thought for sure all those bumps would wake the baby up but she was bound and determined not to wake up for her picture day! She did however (with grandma's help!) wake up, move her hands, and even open her mouth (I assume a YAWN!). It was the most precious thing to see. When we got there we were early so we went to the coffee shop so I can refill on my java intake for the day and Little Mama needed to still drink to fill that bladder up (oh how I remember those days!). After the photo shoot we went back to the coffee shop and had lunch. It is a nice little place inside the hospital. They serve lite lunches such as soup and pita wraps, pizza, and also have a variety of pastry and cookies to go with your coffee, tea, or other beverage. Little Mama had pizza and I had soup and a veggie pita wrap - it was yummy! Then we had another bumpy ride home!!

Little Mama is 20wks now and was happy to find out that she can keep all the "pink" stuff that people have been giving her!! :) So now we wait - for delivery day in Feb for Emily Jade to greet the world!
