Mike and I have had some discussions about future children which has made me want to spend the next few months really getting the house and our lifestyle in order. Part of it is our actual home--we have a small house so I need to do some weeding out and reorganizing so that we can have another bebeh without Mike giving up his office and without me ( Read more... )

I am a happy camper. Mike thinks he wants to give the church we'd been going to another try. I really thought the big reason we didn't really click with anyone was because he just didn't want to make any friends. So I'm hoping that now that we've visited around and not found anything in our neighborhood, we'll really be able to connect at our old ( Read more... )

It's been a few days! Not a ton has been happening. Normal stuff mostly. I haven't been feeling terribly well. I thought I had a kidney stone but it wasn't acting like my kidney stones have acted in the past so Friday I went to the doctor to see if I had a kidney infection or something. The doctor, who is a martial arts instructor which was way ( Read more... )

Why do people who snore never believe they snore?

Mike: SNOOOOREEEE
Me: :pokepokepoke: Mike! You're snoring...
Mike: No I'm not you're just trying to push me off the bed.
Me: .... that doesn't even make any sense.

Anyway, books:
9. Beauty, Robin McKinley
10. Flushed: How the Plumber Saved Civilization, W. Hodding Carter
11. The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret ( Read more... )

Dude--no freaking way. I seriously doubt that I could manage this. Mollie, I bet you could!

Latest family blog post: THE SNUGGIE.

I am totally going to make this.

I made a King Cake today! I hope it turns out. I used my sourdough starter to make it which is different from what I did last year so I guess we'll see. It's in the oven now.

I have trained 7 times in 6 days: Kali on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Aikido on Wednesday, Saturday and today at PeaceJam where ( Read more... )

Crap. I don't have a birthday gift for Mike. I am pretty sure I'm going to get him a panera baguette and wrap it (mike has this weird thing about reallllly liking bread--he buys a baguette almost every time we go somewhere that sells them). And I am going to make his favorite meal saturday which is, in all seriousness, an all day event: beef ( Read more... )

Today started out poorly. Autumn melted down so I didn't make it to the chiro. I had family drama. A worker fixing a leak at Mike's work exploded a ceiling tile over mike's cubicle, sending debris, water, and dirt all over his stuff and his computers. I'm kinda hormonal. And some other things ( Read more... )

Why do people say they want to do what's convenient for you when what they really want is obviously an inconvenience?

Anyway...rzezidizz tagged me for an 8 days of happy post and I've been sort of unofficially doing it. Day one was Mike's dad's wish list. Day two was a filtered and friend-locked post celebrating my completion of my major ( Read more... )

Oh, man, if Mike and Brian (yoginimamaj's husband ever got together to write a song, this one would be it. Hahahaha! I've been meaning to post this for about a week but I kept forgetting. It's long but so worth it. I wish there was a video. The parts about costco, ordering pizza as a luxury, and the hyundai ARE SO US. Government cheese and stolen cable maybe ( Read more... )
