Yes. That being said. I couldn't find a dryer for the cloth diapers we are going to be using.

Duh.<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I've been buying a few things (finally) to make things a little bit easier when the girlie gets here. and they have all been very inexpensive. A $3 Bouncer Chair, and a $1.50 Boppy Pillow are my two favorites. I'll be heading to a fabric store soon to get some awesome modern print (yeah right) to cover them both with. I'll post pictures when they are finished. If that happens.

What I personally learned how to drive in. It is like home, driving it around. I'm pumped.<br /><br />I have also finally gotten into the "I-want-to-buy-baby-stuff" mode.

Monday we had snow from about 6:45am - 10:00am. I was so unbelievably unsure of what to think that I couldn't. Anyways, it is now about 65° so I won't be coplaining about that. I am officially going to be doing an afternoon paper route, for something to do and some extra cashes. Since everytime I leave the house I tend to spend money, I can now do the opposite. Im going to get few books on CD and better my mind while I do this too. It seems magical. But we'll see.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Does anyone have any other suggestions on strollers. I have seen a lot of praise for the Phil & Ted stroller system, and I like it, but I find it hard to believe that they are the only ones who make a good single-to-double stroller. Anyone?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">:)</span><br /></span>Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18256612948810026390noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109666540978792853.post-87758999486079936952008-06-09T18:40:00.000-07:002008-06-09T18:51:14.344-07:00So yes...<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">There are certain times where I really want to spend a lot of money. I'm not talking about an Old Navy Shopping Spree (those don't count, anyways) I mean, travel, house(s), car(s). And it usually happens at the worst time where it seems like everything lines up. I found a cruise to the place I really want to go, for the cheapest price I have seen yet. There are at least 4 cars that I would like because we *could* afford to buy them. And last, but surely not least, there are cute houses popping up for sale every time I look. Crimeny.

But this weather is making me sort of sad. I'm sewing a maternity dress for an awesome friend for a wedding she is going to. I'm making the pattern as I go. Ilike doing projects for other people because thn I actually finish them. Actually I finished a teeny little red cub cap for the expected little girl. I hope I didn't underestimate the head size because I don't really want her head to be bigger than that wen she is born. For obvious reasons. We also painted out living room to brighten the amount of time we spend in there.<br /><br />Fun times.

Most come in tent shapes and/or little teeny floral prints. So I searched and found a few things that I think would work for a while, until it was absolutely mandatory that I purchase a daisy tent to dwell in. For those of you who have tried this, please help! Am I heading the wrong way, trying to make maternity out of things that are not? Notice the lack of bottom-halves...I'm debating between mostly unflattering spandexy type things or bulky regular maternity pantaloons. I could use a bt of help with that too.<br />:)<br /></span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

It was everything a adult snow day should be. Awesome breakfast, 5 minutes playing in the snow, walking around looking at your town covered in an almost frightening amount of whiteness, running into all the other people who have nothing to do but go outside when it snows that much. I can't ever believe how quiet it is. We had the library to ourselves, which was fun and then we went to the local watering hole Bucers Coffee for lunch where almost everyone we hadn't seen on the streets, sat thawing over espresso. It was really fun. The most fun I've had in snow in a long time.</span><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2082/2244946866_57ce9c7a97.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2082/2244946866_57ce9c7a97.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2244943204_9ef9eff68a_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2244943204_9ef9eff68a_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2188/2244948170_c6c5498f9f_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2188/2244948170_c6c5498f9f_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2244947596_723d229591_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2048/2244947596_723d229591_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/2244950784_5e4359f7b3_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 500px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2127/2244950784_5e4359f7b3_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/2244156675_006df88f43_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2399/2244156675_006df88f43_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2362/2244948894_c09ff00924_o.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2362/2244948894_c09ff00924_o.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></span></div><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:85%;" ><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The website I've been working on for one of my Long Island churches ministries is finished.

I miss both Moscow & Amityville when I'm not there. It was sweet to visit without the pressure of the holidays. I wanted to bring both my niece and nephew back home with me, but alas their mother gave me a no on that one.<br /><br />There is still way too much snow here, there is a orange bellied squirrel that keeps creeping by my window and giving me a heart attack. Somewhat fun.<br /><br />Tomorrow is my husbands birthday. It is very weird that we keep getting a little bit older all the time. But I'm enjoying it.<br /><br />I'll have some pictures next time. I hope.<br /><br />:)Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18256612948810026390noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109666540978792853.post-44184984504780703522008-01-09T16:12:00.000-08:002008-01-11T12:55:09.675-08:00Every 2 days?I don't think I'll be able to keep up posting on here every 2 days, but it seemed like I had been gone longer than I thought. Today was awesome. I did some super deep cleaning in our living room and now that I'm looking at it I think we might be needed another peice of furniture, most likely some more clothing/linen storage that maybe looks like a buffet, so that we don't have to cram it is our bedroom, (or should I say bednotenoughroom, hardee har har.) I got an early start today so I feel pretty alright.<br /><br />I need to go start my fish taco din din before everyone (meaning Nate) gets home.<br /><br />:)Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18256612948810026390noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109666540978792853.post-2228342623754231742008-01-07T09:11:00.000-08:002008-01-07T09:58:54.406-08:00Right...<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> So, first weekend on the Raw Thing. Didn't do all that awesome. Granted, it is harder to do this thing 100% on the weekends, when there are places to go, and people to see. I'm sure I will modify it a little so that I can eat more things. The recipes seemed really exciting when I was reading it but I think I'm going to have to go a little bit slower since I have never been a real big fan of vegetables to begin with. Actually, I am close to being a Veggie-hater... so that makes it somewhat difficult. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> I'm finally going put the shopping bags on my Etsy sometime this week. I'm a little sad about that since I don't really like parting with things that I make myself. Especially when they take s long to sew. Note to all : Burlap FRAYS like there is no tomorrow, so unless you are ready to double hem and topstitch every single seam, I would suggest maybe using a different material. But I love these bags, and I wanted to keep them all. But If you like them I'd be happy to part with them.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> Awesome.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> :)</span><br /></span>Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18256612948810026390noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3109666540978792853.post-88458737779024213452008-01-04T15:44:00.000-08:002008-01-04T15:54:23.743-08:00A good year...so far.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51w6F8I5xtL.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 221px;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51w6F8I5xtL.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So today was (in theory) the first "official" day of going raw. Not so much not cooked food so much as not processed</span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> food. It's kind of a duh at this point to say that since so many other people are doing the same thing. But it's still good when you do things for yourself. I'm using this book by Natalia Rose as a sort of guide to the newish eat regime. I don't have a juicer yet so it is still not full force. I laughed at people who di</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">d what I am doing now, (you know who you are, please forgive.) So far I'm still way bigger than I was pre-thanksgiving, but that isn't (really) the point of eating well, just to lose weight. Am I right? I'll just keep wearing my formally baggy, but now snug jeans and see where this takes me. </span></span>Alexishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18256612948810026390noreply@blogger.com8
