I am a very stubborn person. I've come to realize that more with this pregnancy. Apparently, it takes large blunt objects bashing me over the head to get me to do something. For example, I've read that water areobics and other swimming is good for expecting mothers. However, a maternity swimsuit was not in my budget. Nor did I think that I ( Read more... )

Or at least was on television for a couple of minutes. Here's the link: Fighting Off Debt - CNBC.com Apparently, none of the commentators read or listened to the question he was asking on student loans. Oh well.

You'd think after I spent six years volunteering/employed at This is the Place Heritage Park that I'd be prepared.  I mean, I went as historically accurate as possible--4-5 petticoats, all the additional underclothing, 20 yards of fabric in my dress (that's also lined with another 20 yards), apron, hat, gloves...the works.  It was hot.  It was ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've known that I would have to have a rhogam shot ever since my husband and I got started seriously dating.  And it scared me!  I haven't had a shot since I was like 15 years old.  My brother's Eagle Project was to organize a blood drive for the neighborhood, and I cried for nearly a week at the very thought of the needle.  Yet...I went ( Read more... )

It's nice to know that I'm not as big as I feel right now.  Last Friday, I was a wreck because I feel like I'm gigantic.  But then at our childbirth class last night, I noticed that I was same size as the other 6 month lady.  We were both quite a bit smaller than the ladies who are closer to delivery.  That's both comforting and disconcerting.  ( ( Read more... )

My husband's brother's wife (aka my sister-in-law) gave birth to a cute baby boy on Friday!  He was 6pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long.  He was 2 1/2 weeks early and is spending some time in the NICU, but everything is going well and hopefully both he and Mommy will be able to come home this week ( Read more... )

When paying back teachers for keying their cars, and your check is being issued from the Juvenile Court, DO NOT use a credit card that is stolen.  You will be found out!

Grrrrr....now I have to call my bank to take off the bounced check fee.

I SOOOOOOOOOOO shouldn't look at author's websites before a new book comes out.

For example, Jim Butcher's next book in the Dresden Files comes out on Tuesday.  There's currently 5 chapters posted of the new book.  Um...not good for productivity.

And then just a few minutes ago, I read Laurie King's plot summary for The Language of Bees which doesn't ( Read more... )

The husband has his nearly last class and last test today before graduating in May in Medical Laboratory Science.  (He still has a Thursday evening class that goes for a few more weeks.)  The job offers are coming in already, so it's all a matter of what newbie schedule he wants to accept for ARUP ( Read more... )
