The Predictable 2 pm
I’m not writing this to complain - honestly - or to seek advice, or any other reason really other than this is my blog, and I like to be 100% honest, and well, there. (Now that I’m done I realize this is the longest post I have ever written. )
I am so [...]
Hibernating
Well, not really. I am alive. For once I think ever, I don’t really have much to write about on my blog. Get out!
We are doing great here. I am still feeling much better although I have felt so tired lately. I know I am pregnant and [...]
Flickr: The Commons
I have several gift books and coffee table books containing historical photographs from the early - mid 20th century.

The pressure of the holidays hasn’t helped, and I have a new enemy that I have never before encountered, which is anger and bitterness towards women who say they never struggle with this in pregnancy. I [...]
Financial Shape in 2008
I’ve decided to take Money-Saving-Mom’s Financial Challenge for 2008 and will be reading her posts related to this and posting the progress Eric and I are making with this in the future.
I don’t feel comfortable posting our budget on my blog, but I am going to be posting throughout the year how God is [...]
