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 [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

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 [...]

Forging ahead – Bringing our car home from Arizona

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. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

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. [...]

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 [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans…

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 [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

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 [...]

NaBloPoMo ends and I made it!

Posted on Nov 30 in 2008 pregnancy, Life in Evansville, personal storiesby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

Today marks the end of NaBloPoMo and I made it. Woot!

We also went out and bought our christmas tree from a local boyscout troop. We didn’t cut our own tree down this year as we usually do since we didn’t have a feel for out new home town yet and we didn’t have time to file for a permit. Next year we will try to follow tradition again.

Anyway we are drinking eggnog and decorating the tree up tonight and we didn’t get any snow. And the basement is full of water again since it rained last night… We expect more water down there tomorrow morning.

Good thing we have a letter out to the landlord about the flooding that will start the resolution process. The thing is the basement looks like it was finished back in the 70’s or 80’s so if it has been flooding and soaking all the wood paneling and carpeting since then we are bound to be growing som mold back there right?

Know where we can get our hands on a mold test kit? We do want to make sure we aren’t breathing in mold that has grown as a result of past years flooding. If we are watch out, I am going to raise holy hell!

    I am so glad that NaBloPoMo is over! it has been fun but it has also been a big fat pain the ass. I hope you get some satisfaction from the landlord about the flooding. Your luck seems to run like mine—whatever is the hardest way to do something is the route I have to take every time.

    Try Home Depot for a kit. I’d raise holy hell if I were you whether mold is found or not! A flooding basement means you can’t use it, yet you are paying for the use of it?

    I’d start looking for another place to live, even though I know what a pain that is. But water damage, mold, structural problems, etc., Is your rent so cheap you should have to deal with those issues?

    You are pregnant. Stay out of the basement. Hopefully N can video and photo document the problems. Fixing them is not something you’re going to want to live through either, unless you get a serious reduction in rent for the “duration” of construction.

    One would think that the landlord would be worried about the foundation of his house!

    Congrats on the NaBloPoMo – I have enjoyed everyday of it :-)

    This is the first I had heard about NaBloPoMo, but I had heard about the novel writing November event. I am sure that this daily-writing procedure has been instilled in many individuals, and some may continue to write daily, even though the contest they were taking part in is over for them. Some say that 30 days is enough to get a habit to become part of one’s routine, and keeping it going is much easier after this period of time.
