It was a good day today. Tired day, but good nonetheless. Had fun with the whole quiz thing, I'll have to blog in a few days and explain everything on it once everyone has had a chance to take it.
Played Runescape for a while... that game is addicting. Once I get going, it's hard to stop. I actually figured out how to find something all by myself! Becky, who introduced me to Runescape, will be so proud. :-)
Did some laundry, worked on the checkbook... had a good talk with Mom Riddell. She's so sweet. We hadn't got to talk in a while so it was nice to visit about some things that needed to be visited about. It's good to have family that you can talk to.
I straightened, dusted, and vacuumed the living room. I love the smell of Citrus Pledge. I also scrubbed the tub out which has wore me out so here I sit waiting for Brad to come home. I'll go start dinner in a little bit.
I'm seriously considering having a yard sale Saturday morning. It doesn't have to be organized, I'll just throw everything in the yard in boxes and slap a price sticker on it and we're good to go. I guess it would be more of a rummage sale that way. Oh well. It would help me get some junk out of the way and get some money out of it instead of having to haul it to Goodwill.
We'll see how long THAT idea lasts.
I think I hear Brad now...

Tuesday's Child is Full of Grace... and boy do I need it!
Today was a good day. I just lazed around this morning a bit because I felt blah, then did some dishes. Kasey called me to see if I wanted to go to lunch with her! I said that I would LOVE to but I hadn't showered yet and I didn't have a car so she'd have to come and get me. She asked permission from her boss to take an hour lunch so I QUICKLY took a shower, dressed, blow dried my hair, and was ready in the twenty minutes it took her to leave work and come to my house.
We went to Cracker Barrel since Kasey had read Becky's blog and it coerced her into getting french toast. :-) It was a good lunch! It was fun to catch up on things since she's been gone. Thanks Kasey! It's worth not working just to be able to have lunch with you once in a while. We were late leaving because our waitress was a bit slow, but her boss wasn't mad at her, so I hear, thankfully.
When I got home I did a humongous-ical amount of dishes! I was so pleased! I'll be able to wrap it up tomorrow easy. Yessssss, I FINALLY accomplished something around here! Thank you Jesus! Yes, He DOES answer prayer. :-)
The only thing I regret to inform everyone that I've broken the first piece of my ivy Corelle set that was a wedding present from Danielle, my maid of honor, and her family.
(Yes, those are my yucky counters... oh well). My Mama and Daddy had a Corelle set with green daisies on it that was given to them at THEIR wedding, and now after... 28 years? all that remains is one little saucer plate. It's cute. So now has begun the demise of MY set... I wonder if I can make the rest of it last another 25 years? All I can say is that it's a good thing that you can buy individual replacement pieces at Wal-Mart, because as clumsy as I am, we'll have to go to all paper or plastic dinnerware.
It sure would cut back on the amount of dishes I have to wash!

French toast, Pizza, and Fun!
YAY! My blog is back in full force. I really don't know what happened. I couldn't figure out why it only wanted to show my yellow star background and nothing else. Nothing was messed up in the template code. So I copied and pasted my whole template into a text window, changed it to a blogger provided template (BO-RING!) and everything was still there. So I pasted my customized template back in, and bingo! Everything is back where it should be and all is well with the world again. I think my crazy pregancy hormones are telepathically affecting my blog. Ha ha!
Yes, Wendy, Monday was a lovely day! I took Brad to work, then went to pick up Becky at her house. Becky and Chris made a lovely french toast breakfast with sausage links. Yummy! Then the three of us went into town to Becky's doctor appointment. While I was waiting on Becky and Chris while they were back with the doctor, Misty came in. She used to work with Brad and Kasey at Goggin Warehouse... the job Brad started out with when we first moved to Nashville. She thought she knew me but wasn't sure. I'm surprised I remembered her name. I NEVER forget a face but I have a hard time remembering names. She remembered me and Brad once I told her who I was. She was excited to hear we're having a baby, but it was soooo funny. She said, "Brad a daddy.... OH boy, THAT'S gonna be something else!" She knows what a total goofball Brad is. She loved Brad to death but he can drive everyone a little batty at times. Ha ha! I told her that at least our child will be able to relate to his/her father, if only as a peer! She agreed!
After the doctor, we went to Prime Outlets mall in town, walked around Carter's, they had some really good sales. The cool thing is that I could get anything and not keep the receipt and exchange it at any Carter's in the country for up to a year. So I could get both girl and boy clothes and take back whatever I don't need in a couple months when we find out the baby's gender (yes, I MUST find out! I hope I don't have a modest child in my womb....). I may go back next week and get a few outfits.
We walked around a couple different places. Went to Dress Barn and mostly made fun of clothes and people who don't know how to clothe themselves. (Chris!! lol)
Went to KB Toy store and looked at cool stuff. Becky found a totally awesome Care Bear laundry basket-y type thing. Cute! Then we were looking at toy food and saw a Pizza Hut play set and made Becky want pizza. I was already thinking about pizza, so we decided to go to Painturo's Pizza for lunch. Boy that place is cool. Yummy breadsticks, yummy pizza, even though for some weird reason they cut it into little diamond shapes. But it was cool because it made Becky happy inside to be eating cute little pieces of pizza. So it was worth it. :-) The atmosphere and decor there is really nice too. It's one of me and Brad's favorite spots in town.
Then we went to Hickory Hollow to go to the JoAnn's there that is selling EVERYTHING because they are moving to the new humongous-ical (that's my word) JoAnn's superstore in Mt. Juliet. All the fabric was 60% off. Awesomeness! I got some purple velour/corduroy type fabric to make a nice winter maternity dress with. I just have to find the pattern I want... then some cool lightweight knit to make some baby boy sleepers and stuff with, and a pretty cotton print to make a summery baby dress with. I have to sew for both boy and girl right now, but I'll tell you right now it's a whole lot easier and more fun to sew for girls. :-)
We saw Rose in JoAnn's too. That was funny. :-)
I was casually saying that we had to get Brad at 4:45, and then Becky looks at her watch and says, "Uh, it's 4:37!" or something like that. So we got our material (Becky got some cool stuff too!) and headed out of there. Becky was amused at me trying to hit the high notes on Bryan McKnight's "Back at One"... ok, so I wasn't really trying. I was just being goofy and it sounded horrible, but I was in a goofy mood and it was funny. :-)
We picked up Brad (who wasn't mad at all that we were a half hour late... he's so sweet!) then dropped Becky off and then took Chris back to town to his friend's house. Brad & Chris talked about bass guitars and drums all the way back to town. It was funny. :-)
Then I gave Brad leftover pizza for dinner and he will love me forever now 'cause it was really good pizza. Ham & pineapple and bacon, in all it's cheesy, greasy, ooey-gooey loveliness. Yumm....
Then I talked to my dear Mama on the phone. My sister Bekah Anne got a humongous-ical splinter in her finger Sunday night and had to go the to ER to have it removed. Yikes! I hate to hear about things like that 'cause I wish I was there with her for it. I was with her when she broke her arm through all the x-rays and everything... she's so brave. Poor baby girl. Hard to believe she'll be 13 in December! Where does the time go!!!!
So yeah, anyway, that was my Monday. :-)

A New Week
Thank you to everyone who has assured me (and mostly my husband) that all my nonsense, is, indeed, normal. I think if I could just get it ALL the housework done once and for all then I could keep up with it. Hopefully that will be our (notice I said "our") project this weekend.
As for today, I'm gonna drop Brad off at work and then go pick up Becky so we can go to her doctor's appointment and then hang out. YAY! I feel kinda guilty to be goofing off today after yesterday's fiasco, but then again, after yesterday's fiasco I need some "ME" time to calm me down. And I need out of this house!
Oh, and yesterday Brad upon finding out that there was no church when he arrived in Antioch, went and hung out and read at the lake, and then wandered around the mall a bit before coming home instead of going out to eat so I wouldn't be worried about him being out so late. When he walked in the door I was on the phone with Becky and I had just told her that I didn't know where Brad was because there wasn't any church last night. So he walks in and I say, "How was church?" "There wasn't any...." Becky and I crack up. "You knew? Did you think I would fib?"
"No," I say. "I knew you wouldn't fib. But it's just good to have a test once in a while." :-)

Last Night's Photo Shoot
Brad and I went yesterday evening to an old train depot in town to do a "photo shoot" of sorts. Here's one of my favorites.I think with a better camera and some training and practice, I could be pretty good.
Whatcha think?
