Because you asked
I’ve had some people ask to see progress of the baby belly, and until now there really hasn’t been much to see. I present: weeks 10 thru 17. This last week I’ve definitely seen some growth, but I think these pics are a little misleading; especially since I usually wear looser clothes to conceal the...
Snow Jabba
So I was driving to work a few weeks back after a pretty substantial snow storm the evening before. Along my journey I saw a peculiar site: two or three guys standing proudly around a large mound of shoveled snow at the end of their driveway. I thought it was kind of odd, but I...
Inevitable
Since the cat is out of the proverbial bag at work, I am free to make the public service announcement: I am pregnant, knocked up, bun in the oven, gestating, preggers, whatever. It took a lot for me to keep this whole thing under wraps which is why I have been rather absent here of...
Fun at the Cemetery
There’s a small roadside cemetery about a mile from my house that I’ve driven by a hundred times without stopping. But this afternoon seemed like the perfect time to pay the deceased a visit; I had some free time and the clouds were dramatic. It’s nothing compared to the enormous historical cemetery downtown, but it’s...
Halloween Circa 1983
I think I was in first grade the year I wore this gypsy costume… although it could be second grade; I’m not 100% sure. At any rate, this was one of my favorite costumes of all time — mostly because of the Fraggle Rock tambourine with flowing multi-colored ribbons! I vividly remember my love for...
Out of the Dungeon
Yesterday afternoon I ventured into our creepy crawl space to pull out the bins of Halloween decor. I probably should have done this last week, but I’ve been busy! Judging by the looks of it and the fact that I have some new items this year, I think I need to buy another storage bin....
Pumpkins on Parade
There’s nothing quite like Fall in the Northeast! You don’t have to look hard to find people in the Halloween spirit. Around the corner from my house is a nursery that always decorates for Halloween. As August comes to a close, big round hay bales start arriving. By mid September, they’re all painted with adorable...
Pretty Powder Room
Those here for the Halloween content can check back a little later, since I’ll be writing something on that subject later this afternoon. :) When we bought our house, the powder room off the den was decorated in a frightening shade of dull cocoa brown. It had no mirror, the same brown asbestos tile that...
Fiddling With My New Camera
My parents were visiting this weekend, and while they were here my dad wanted to pop into the camera shop to check out a few accessories for his camera… I tagged along and started poking around the sale items. I occasionally check out the DSLR prices; not because I’m in the market, but more as...
Laundry Love
I’ve always considered my laundry room to be something of a disgrace. Not that laundry rooms need to be fancy or luxurious, but mine has always felt dingy and nasty. It didn’t matter how much I scrubbed the floor, it always looked filthy, so I rarely mopped (gross, I know). God forbid a piece of...
