So I don't really have time for much of an update, I just wanted to announce that... we got rid of MOUSEY!!! For those of you who didn't know, we had a very persistent mouse that kept eating all of our bread, no matter where we hid it, even on top of the refrigerator. So Joe put a trap up there too, and we got him. I'm just glad that we don't ( Read more... )

So yesterday I got a small box of books from a girl I had traded with. I was putting them on the bookshelf when I look down and see something shiny. And there, in between the bookcase and the pack n play, is my long lost necklace! I don't know how it got there, but it's been missing for months and months. It was a gift from Joe, so I was upset ( Read more... )

Ok, I have a lot of books for sale and a huge list of books that I need. I can trade or sell the books. Books are in varied condition, some excellent, some poor but still readable. I will let you know if you ask and also take the condition into account when setting the price. Buyer pays shipping, but it will be media mail, so it will be cheap ( Read more... )

I'm back! Here's a rundown of the trip ( Read more... )

I have a really sore throat and throbbing headache today. Not so much fun :o( Joe and I went running around anyway. I hit up the goodwills and thrift stores for books. I got 3, 2 new Sweet Valleys and a V.C. Andrews. We went looking at cars too, to get an idea of what we want to buy. We will probably getting something shortly after Joe starts ( Read more... )

Where to begin? It's so hectic right now. I shouldn't even be on here, but I needed a BREAK. I'm still getting ready for the yard sale for tomorrow and Saturday, and now I hear that it might rain. IT CANNOT RAIN. My living room is full of stuff and I will not be here next weekend. I have to do it NOW. I am almost done with the pricing, ( Read more... )

Well, all of the silly SIU students are back. That means everything's crazy again. We made the mistake of taking on Walmart yesterday, although it wasn't as bad as expected. There were tons of students with their parents buying bunches of stuff they really don't need and will never use. We had to finally get a new tire for Red Van, especially ( Read more... )

So yesterday we didn't have water for over 5 hours. Joe had talked to the guy and he said it would be off for an hour. Right. So, it was a kind of a mess. I had to give Jonathan a sort of sponge bath with distilled water that we had bought for his bottles, cause it had been a really hot day. Then Joe didn't get home until almost 4 am from work ( Read more... )

So, it's 5:35 am, and I haven't been able to sleep yet again. That's what all of my posts are. Sleepless nights. The decision now is do I stay up another 2 hours and feed Jonathan, or do I go lay down and attempt sleep again. I've been playing Insaniquarium, but I'm stuck on the challenge for tank 3 (download version). It makes me angry, lol ( Read more... )

So, you never realize how much you are out until you have to be in all of the time. I get very stir crazy. Even when Jonathan is sleeping I can't leave!! I doesn't bother me too much, I'm just in a period where I feel like wandering around somewhere, but the fact that it's been so hot makes it hard to take Jonathan out. I guess that's the real ( Read more... )
