A lot has happened since I last posted. We've (mostly just I've since Andrew works weird hours sometimes) looked at perhaps 15 houses. Saw several cute ones and a lot of meh/grody ones. Well, yesterday I hit paydirt! Yep, yesterday I found THE house, fell in love, and made a decision ( Read more... )

I have a stupid headache and I feel exhausted (forgot to take my vitamin today, oops) but I wanted to pop in and share a few moments of my excellent day! :D Andrew and I met with a lender to discuss pre-qualifying (very, very optimistic after that meeting! our credit is 'excellent' according to the lady and monthly costs as a homeowner-at least the ( Read more... )

Argh! I walked into the kitchen and saw the remote was on the floor so I strode over, picked it up, and promptly walked into a puddle of dog piss. Not Deus's piss, mind you, because my dog isn't FUCKING ANNOYING. No, it's from that little shit of a dog my brother/mother own, Bacon. I had to make my mom buy these belly band things because she sure ( Read more... )

So Andrew's brother's wife (our sister-in-law) is pregnant again. She had a baby boy in January and the new baby is due next April. Apparently this pregnancy was an accident, and I don't envy her, haha. She's so, so sweet and I know she's a great mom. She also doesn't work (Andrew's brother has a great job working at a nuclear reactor plant near ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who offered comments and advice on Mitsuwa and other places to find kawaii in and around Chicago :D I managed to get to Chinatown first; my hubby and I wandered around for a couple of hours, and eventually had lunch at this really yummy place called Saint's Alp Teahouse. We did find Giftland-a girl on flickr had recommended it- ( Read more... )

Yaaaaay! I finally got my Celga order; I actually received it in about 4 days from the time they shipped it, so I was very excited about that. And I finally got my panda matches! Yay yay yay! I've added photos to my flickr of a lot of the stuff from the shipment, but I'm waiting to take pictures of some of it until I get my next SMJ order.  I'm ( Read more... )

I finally requested shipping for my Celga order! I'd been stocking things up since September, and I was itching to receive everything XD Shipping was pretty steep: $91 for EMS. eeeeek. Didn't tell the hubby the exact figure... just said that paying for shipping all at once seems like a lot, even though it's probably cheaper than paying ( Read more... )

So, this is a really random entry, but am I the only one who doesn't think the new San-X character Sabo Kappa is very cute? I mean, sure, it's cute, but I don't get the frenzy everyone's getting into over it. I haven't seen anything featuring her that I even want.

I'm much more excited about Homekoro, the cute little Pomeranian who should be ( Read more... )
