Babies

by 1 Comment

So ya’ll, please keep a couple little babies in your prayers.  Scott’s cousin’s baby E is in the hospital.  He had to have his circumcision done and had a hernia.  The surgery was done yesterday morning and he should be coming home today.  We went to see them last night.  We had a good visit, eating dinner with D at the cafeteria.  On a side note, I think the girls (ie, Lexi) are starting to get to the point where we can take them out more.  I know we still have a few more months with Lexi before she can really sit still at a table for a long time but I saw of glimpse of “easiness” last night.

For the second baby, a friend from church her baby is in the hospital with RSV.  He’s only 8 weeks old.  But he’s been doing good and may be coming home tomorrow.

And finally, a friend from school, her 7 month old has brain cancer.  She went into the hospital yesterday and has the surgery tomorrow. 

So please say a special prayer for them, especially tomorrow.

Red Shirt

So my sister doesn’t get off work until 8 on Mondays.  As I mentioned yesterday, Scott’s work party is tonight and I really wanted something new to wear to the party.  So I begged her to go to the mall last night which doesn’t close until 10 during the holidays.  So we left to crying babies at the front door and headed out.  I was really disappointed with a couple stores but this new store that they have in other malls in the area, Forever 21.  Very cheap prices.  They have these long dresses in there, sort of vintage-70’s type look.  Empire waist, long to the floor and flowy.  I bought one of them that will probably have to wait until spring to wear but I could see myself wearing that EVERY day.  It was so comfortable and really cute.

I finally found an acceptable shirt at Express and they had their jeans on sale AND I had a $15 off coupon.  So even though I still left the store with a $75 bill, I do feel better that both of them were on sale.  My shirt is just red, v-neck, satin shirt with a empire waist and a tie around the back.  Hopefully my white pants are not at the cleaners and I can wear those and black shoes and a black necklace to dress it up a little.

 So yay!  I get to dress up and go out tonight!

Jeep “fixed”

by Leave a Comment

OK, so I think our vehicle situation has been temporarily suspended.  After talking with a hobby-mechanic friend they figured out that we do not need to be giving the Jeep gas when we start it (as we had been giving abundantly) because we keep flooding it.  Hence the reason it work again in a few hours.  So since then, we have driven it without issue back and forth several places.  It doesn’t really solve our issue for when I go to work but now that he has a half-decent back up for me to leave here if I take the van, I think we are back-burning the idea of buying another vehicle.

Vehicle Update

So Scott was able to drive the Jeep home yesterday and was able to drive it to work today.  He tried to change that part last night but the part store gave him the wrong one and they have to order the correct one which will be in Friday.  Hopefully I won’t have to go pick him up this afternoon and hopefully this part will buy us some time (and money) on getting a new vehicle.

A Woman’s Dictionary

by Leave a Comment

I always crack up when I read this.  Right on. 

1.) FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

 

2.) FIVE MINUTES: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an

hour. Five Minutes is only five minutes if you have just been

given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

 

3.) NOTHING: This is the calm before the storm. This means

something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

 

4.) GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

 

5.) LOUD SIGH: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal

statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

 

6.) THAT’S OKAY: This is one of the most dangerous statements a

women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

 

7.) THANKS: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint.

Just say you’re welcome.

 

8.) WHATEVER: Is a women’s way of saying UP yours.

 

9.) DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, I GOT IT: Another dangerous statement,

meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do

several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a

man asking “what’s wrong”, for the woman’s response refer to # 3.

So apparently one of the transactions I thought legit wasn’t really.  Looks like I’m going to be out around $800 or so.  This stinks.  In a bad way.

Clean Freak

by Leave a Comment

cleaning.jpgI did so much cleaning this weekend, it’s unbelievable.  Really.  I did my regular cleaning–floors, dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, laundry, dishes.  I’m always LUCKY to get that done.  But this weekend, I cleaned out our hall closet, tupperware cabinet (yes, we HAD a LOT of tupperware), another kitchen cabinet and also finally went through all the crap on our kitchen counter–you know that counter/table that catches all the crap that comes into the house for future sorting.  Yeah, well, I did all that sorting.  I keep looking at my clean counter and then look at my clean cabinets underneath and smile thinking that those are clean too :).
