Tuesday Thoughts

The week is going well, but I have some beef to pound:
1.  If another website posts Olympic results without warning of a spoiler, I am going to scream and throw a hissy fit.  I logged out of my hotmail account earlier and was automatically redirected to msn where result for today's events were posted.  No warning, no "look away now if you don't want it ruined for you," nothing of the sort.  This makes me so unbelievably mad.  Ask anyone at school today, I. was. ticked.  Uggggggh.  I guess I'll just need to avoid the internet the next two weeks, as I am not a "I'll feel better if I know how it ends ahead of time" person like my dear Mama! ; )

2.  Why, oh why, couldn't we have had all those delays, early releases, and snow days this week instead of last so that I can watch as much as possible of the Olympics! (Warning: If you are already tired of seeing the word Olympics, you may want to ignore me for the rest of the month!  Although, if you don't love the Olympics, you may not be that sane of a person in the first place!) ; )

3. When the crap did Wallpaper become so dang expensive?  We are doing an accent wall in our bathroom and I have found several stunning, perfect options... except that they are $195/ roll.  You read that correctly... per roll! A little, 33 foot roll!  That's not even 54 square feet.  I either need to hit the lottery or lose my excellent taste in wallpaper.  Stat!

4.  One of my first graders asked me if I had kids, to which I of course, replied, "Not yet."  Another one quickly interjected, "Of course she doesn't! Her belly is NOT big enough to have a baby in it.  She cocks her head to the side as she checks out my stomach and then says: "Yet."  From the mouths of babes....

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
