Warning:This post? Is a downer. A pity party. A “Poor me” post. Just so you know. 2008-05-09 01:35:02 **EDIT** To add to the suck, my dishwasher just died a horrible, painful death. Anyone have any recommendations on a really good dishwasher?? I don’t care about it being quiet, I just want it to wash dishes really, REALLY well. Leave me a comment if you have a brand and model you love.
Some of you [...]

Sideblog: A place for mothers of lost children 2008-05-10 01:02:43 I have found a lovely place to seek some comfort online. Several wonderful women have started Glow in the Woods for mothers who have lost children, NICU babies, and stillbirth or miscarriage.
It’s like we are all in this terrible club that nobody wants to be a member of. If we have to be [...]
My most euphoric shopping moment (Like, EVER.) 2008-05-13 01:24:14 In 1996, I was 22. Besides being in my first year of marriage, I was a new mother to boot. I also didn’t have two dimes to rub together. That is no exaggeration, I literally dug through my couch cushions trying to find change to buy a Coke Slurpee and couldn’t even come up with [...]
Sideblog: Alltop 2008-05-12 16:36:33 Dude.
I can’t believe it.
I got into Alltop.
It makes me totally happy. Before you go thinking that this blog is “All that” , I have to cop to the fact that I WROTE AND ASKED to get in. No one just magically thought of my blog for inclusion (Like the original cool kids), I wrote [...]
A small Mother’s Day recap and asking your opinion on a handbag 2008-05-12 13:46:20 Mother’s Day was bittersweet. Bitter for the obvious reason (and the added insult that I have to do the dishes from my Mother’s Day breakfast today. With NO dishwasher. GRRRRRR!) and sweet because I am mom to two of the best little guys on the planet
Yup, I would say that the thing that saved [...] Read more:asking

Who knew the answer to a closed door would be “Thoroughly Modern Millie”? 2008-05-14 16:22:47 Remember how I lost a role that I loved last week? ( It kinda blew chunks for those just tuning in.)
Today I had a “Close door, open window” moment.
I got a phone call from the very sweet assistant director who held my hand through the whole ordeal. She told me that she was participating [...] Read more:answer

Sideblog: The new Orken commercials are just plain creepy. Period, the end. 2008-05-17 17:10:48 Am I the only person that is totally grossed/freaked out by the new series of Orken extermination commercials? You know, the ones with the 7 ft bugs that come to the door and asks if they can come in using the creepiest voice since that guy who narrates City Confidential on A&E???
They seriously make my [...] Read more:creepy

Sometimes internet shopping can blow chunky wads of disappointment. 2008-05-16 05:29:27 I got my bag from Bluefly.com today.
The UPS guy drove up just as I was starting the hideous task of de-jungling my yard and flower beds. Jonathan’s birthday is on Saturday and he has opted to take his geeky self and several of his geeky friends down to his office to spend the whole [...] Read more:Sometimes
The joy of looking at house plans online until my eyes are bleeding… 2008-05-19 01:41:44 I should have titled this post, “I have researched and you will now PAY!”. I’ve spent the better part of eleventry hundred hours pouring over house plans
on the internet until my eyes feel like they are rupturing. I have looked at hundreds of house plans and tons of photos of houses as [...] Read more:online

Someone give me a damn paper bag to breathe in… 2008-05-20 00:54:44 …because I found out this afternoon that I am moving in exactly TWO WEEKS.
TWO.
As in one-plus-one.
NOT the TWO TO THREE MONTHS I was planning on.
I went from being the depressed sloth curled up in my scrubs eating cookie dough to going a million miles an hour. I’m trying to get the kids out of school, [...] Read more:paper

Hairstyles:The good, the bad, and the fugly… 2008-05-21 14:38:08 I love changing my hair. I do it frequently and have had an awful lot of changes over the years, including a really unfortunate habit of using bottles of “Sun In’ combined with spiral perms in Jr. High. At least then I had the excuse of age. I was 24 when I [...] Read more:Hairstyles
My dirty, dirty confession… 2008-05-23 16:55:03 Lots of people blog about one or several of their pet peeves. This is going to be a little different. It is about the pet peeves of OTHERS and how my behavior impacts them.
I have a habit,

House exterior that I love AND I now own one pair of “Cute” shoes to take to BlogHer. 2008-05-23 00:05:39 Please God, tell me one pair enough because I hate shopping. (Seriously…you try finding cute heels that won’t exacerbate your suck-o-la sense of balance or your lower back pain and that don’t accentuate your cankles and boat sized feet!)
What do you think?
And? THEY WERE HALF OFF!
Plus, remember how lots of you didn’t really [...] Read more:House

Sideblog:Credit Reports 2008-05-27 13:34:00 Even though we are still quite a ways off for applying for a construction loan I know that there are things I will have to look at and clean up on our credit reports. We have average credit scores right now but I want to raise that to a good credit score.

Apparently, I’m cheap AND easy. 2008-05-27 10:34:07 “Gotta go to work.”
“Alright. Don’t forget to call the leasing agent. I’d REALLY like to know where I’m going to be living after this weekend.”
“Sure. Why don’t you get up and dressed in case you and I have to go in to their offices to sign papers?”
“I’m just being lazy and tired because SOMEONE woke [...]
MOVING 2008-05-28 01:01:26 After a gut twisting week, we finally got a call from our rental agent very late this afternoon.
We got the 4 bedroom townhouse that we wanted!
We sign the papers tomorrow and then WE START MOVING IN.
Like, in less than 24-hours.
As there is also a LOT more going on than just moving, I have to say [...]

If so, this contest is for you. Come up with something witty and win a $25.00 gift certificate to a cool place of your choosing (Starbucks, etc.)
Sideblog:Spotty Internet 2008-06-02 01:04:43 I won’t have dedicated internet until this Wednesday.
So, not only have I been crap about responding to people, emails, comments and I haven’t been to anyones blogs in forever and probably won’t get to them until later this week, you all know I love you anyway, though.

Have I mentioned that moving sucks big, hairy, donkey balls? 2008-06-01 23:03:23 It really does. Just in case you were wondering.
I AM starting to see the light of day.
I won’t have cable or internet until Wednesday, so I am taking a few moments while I can to say, “Hi!” and “I’m not dead (yet!)”. After lifting eleventyhundred boxes, I feel like I need a spine [...] Read more:sucks

Sideblog: What celebrities would look like if they moved to Utah 2008-06-03 01:01:59 Thanks to Amy for sending me this fabulous link: “What celebrities would look like if they moved to Utah”.
I seriously about peed myself.
Maybe you have to live here to really get the hilarity of it, but I think that it is probably universally understood.
Photos of the new digs. 2008-06-05 01:01:11 I wanted to take photos of my old place and then of the new, but I am just too freaking tired. So, here is an exterior of the house we moved out of (and that my husband’s business moved INTO, for those that were wondering why there are “Employees” at my old house).
Here is the [...]
Like nails on a chalkboard… 2008-06-04 15:12:19 The good news?
As of 2 hours ago, I have internet and cable television!
(Insert joyous rendition of The Hallelujah Chorus)
The bad news?
I have no DVR.
None.
Nada.
Zip.
Apparently, the complex is changing cable providers in a couple of months and if we got the boxes we would just have to pay to buy new equipment all over again. So [...] Read more:nails
