& in other news…

I have a job! Yes, that’s right, folks, I said J-O-B. As in gainful employment.
Those of you who’ve been keeping track (that would be my husband) know that I’ve been completely unemployed since I up and quit my soul-crushing job in Jun-08. Tomorrow I’m rejoining the working world part-time at our new-to-us church’s childcare center. [...]

good things

I just had an explosion of good things in the last hour or so… ceeeel-e-brate good times, c’mon!! duh-duh-ta-duh-duh!!

Just got the phone call that our house refinance is going through, and we close on Friday… YIPPEE! This refinance has been pending for months, and I was starting to think that it just might not happen. [...]

Saddest Baby on the Block

Is this not one of the saddest things you’ve ever seen? Maggie fell this past weekend and broke her little leg. The doctor called it a “greenstick fracture”, which is the most common break in small children. She should heal up as good as new, but I admit, it’s hard to look at this tiny [...]

Giddyup, lil’ horsie!

The clothing project got bumped once again… Daddy asked me to come tomorrow instead of today. Glad I’m not getting all wound up about this anymore, because this continual rescheduling would have me in a permanent state of tizzy.

Those of you who are Facebook friends have already seen the horse pics, but [...]

I honestly haven’t seen such a beautiful newborn since our Maggie, [...]

Maggie Moment

Wanted to share… doesn’t that little face just tug at your heart? Me loves her.

She has so many new words, it’s hard to keep up. Her most recent trick? You ask her “Maggie, who’s our new president?” And she replies “O-Mama.”
Heehee :)

catching up

For the past few weeks, I’ve been on autopilot… just been doing without thinking. It’s been kinda nice, actually — random thoughts go skittering across like bugs, and I just let the suckers go without trying to catch them and figure them out. Liberating.
How was my Christmas? Fine. How was my birthday? Fine. How was [...]

A little of this & that

This will be a journal entry of sorts… just recording what’s been going on:
Gary the Gallbladder’s eviction has been scheduled for Dec 31st. How’s that for squeezing it in before the end of the year?! Bobby, in all his infinite wisdom, originally scheduled his surgery for this coming Tues, Dec 23rd. I was incredulous – [...]

To Charleston and Back

It’s been five days since my last post… that’s the longest gap I’ve had in a while, I think. Sue and I have been all over SC and back since last Thursday… well, let me just start at the beginning.
Thursday morning, Sue & I were up, packing & moving toward the door when I got [...]

Thanksgiving synopsis

Am freakin’ pooped, so I’m (cheating) summarizing with lots of pictures. Roll over the pics for captions…
Ok, let us begin:
Wednesday night, Sue and I started cooking massive amounts of food. The cooking continued on Thursday morning when Jennifer joined us at 9am, and we only missed our estimated completion time by one hour… ate by [...]
