Greetings from the couch

12May09

So much has happened since I last posted, and to avoid blabbing about it all, I’m going to try to sum it up in a few sentences. Here goes…
-We’ve accepted an offer on our house, which was on the market for a week. We close on the 29th, so things are a bit chaotic here [...]

Sun

09Feb09

We have an 80% chance of rain today. This is very rare for us, seeing as we are in a drought. So, although I welcome the much-needed rain, I find myself longing for the sun. I know there are lots of you out there who are being hit heavily with the February Blues, so I [...]

Baby Talk & some Christmas ramblings

05Dec08

Since I’m feeling pretty good today (as in, I didn’t get up once during the night to get sick yay!), I thought I would write a little bit of what’s been on my mind lately. First off, I have to rant for a minute. Okay, according to weather.com, it is 46 degrees (but it feels [...]

Anticipation & Preparation

13Nov08

*Disclaimer: This post is filled with Christmas rambling.
Since there is only *gasp* 36 days until we leave for Charleston for Christmas, I’ve decided to get my Christmas knitting in order. I need to figure out what I’m making for my family, the specifics of each project, and which items can be reserved for a [...]

Finished Friday: Baby blankies

07Nov08

Okay, so I’d genuinely hoped that I would have Kaitlin’s pigtail hat finished to show you all today, but this week has been quite draining, so I’m not finished with it yet (I’ve begun decreasing). Instead, I’ve decided to share with you some of the baby afghans and blankets that I’ve made over the past [...]

My dad turned 61 today

27Aug08

So, Speech class wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. I may regret those words later, but for now, I think the class will be okay, or rather I will be okay. The fact that I like all of my professors is comforting. I think my favorite professor is my Government Politics professor. He’s [...]

I think I may be in over my head

26Aug08

School started this week. Dominic is officially in first grade. They have desks that they can put their school supplies in. He’s a big boy now, or so I have been told. I also started school this week. I’m taking 4 classes this semester: Accounting, Government Politics, Business Professional Speaking (aka Speech…bleh!), and a math [...]

Inspiration Overload

15Aug08

Two posts in one day, yes I know. I did say there would be more links though. This post will be part inspiration, part tutorial, part whatever else I find.
I really want to make one of these crayon rolls for each of my kiddos. We are flying this Christmas to SC, and I’m planning on [...]

Secret Confession: I am a habitual list maker.

15Aug08

Okay, so the hubs always teases me because I make lists for everything, seriously. I’ve even been caught making an ordered list of loads of laundry. I just can’t help myself; I love to make lists! I love how organized and orderly they look.
I’ve come across some tutorials on the internet that I need to [...]
