I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

July is a busy month!

Posted on Jul 05 in Animals & Pets, personal storiesby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

Things are getting quite busy for us here! This month we are moving into a new place, I will begin the new school year with my colorguard students, I am working an auxiliary camp this week at NAU and our anniversary is this Friday!

I have been working to revamp the appearance of my website Custom Gifts by Talina using cascading style sheets (CSS). CSS is pretty interesting and really opens many doors but it is something new to me so naturally it is pretty hard to learn at first. If you are wondering what CSS is you should check out this CSS info. I like CSS because it eliminates the need for tables and lengthy HTML, it allows you to style and entire website with one document and it makes changing font color, size, images etc. very easy and less overwhelming.

In addition to working on my website I have also been working pretty hard to get my home packed up! We are making the move to a town home on July 30th… One day before I begin the school year with my colorguard students!! We are moving in a single day because of time constraints and lease terms. Our new place is being cleaned and serviced the day we move in so naturally we will have soggy carpets and chaos… :-)

This week I was asked to be a staff member at the upcoming NAU auxiliary camp. This is something new and challenging that I am looking forward to taking on. The camp lasts four days and we are just teaching colorguard basics and a routine to those who signed up. It will be a good learning experience for me!!

Oh, last week I was working on an article for the magazine Mother Earth News. They called for submissions and were offering to pay $250 to the person they choose to publish. Obviously I wrote a piece and sent it in for possible publication! I am anxious to see if they will want to publish me or not!!

The baby birds are growing so much that they look uncomfortably crammed into their nest now!! Pretty soon they will start to leave the nest.. I have a little humming bird that comes by several times a day to drink from my feeder. My lilies are blooming out on my patio and it is an overcast, somewhat cool day. It would be nice to get some rain!
