sorry.

So my Monday didn't turn out as planned. I cleaned up the office this morning, then ran a few errands after lunch and wound up sitting in my dr's office for an hour and forty minutes before I even got into an exam room! Let me just say that I wasn't happy, I was so frustrated, tired, and hungry; I really had to work hard not to burst into tears. Then when I was checking out of the office and scheduling my appt for next week, the receptionist says to me so how about next Monday at 1:40pm? I said fine. Then she added you may have a bit of a wait though. I nearly came undone. I just stared at her. DO NOT TELL ME A WEEK IN ADVANCE that I'm going to have to wait, especially after I just sat in your office for almost 2 hours!!!!!! I'm calling tomorrow to see if I can get a different appt. I didn't say anyting today b/c I really thought I was going to start crying. I went straight home, got some food in me and fell asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes, then C came home and we had to go out again. While wandering through Home Depot I had a few contractions, the most intense I've had so far... C was a bit freaked, I hope he calms down some when its the real deal.
Tomorrow morning, I'll clean up from the construction over the weekend, the project isn't entirely done, I need to paint and I want C to add some small finishing touches. But I'll take pics of what we (he and Uncle R and Aunt D) did this weekend. (I sat there 'supervising' :D )
We got a call today from the store, the baby's furniture is in, we should be picking it up tomorrow night. YAY! The carpets are getting cleaned this week, so I don't want to put the furniture upstairs in the room til that is done, so most likely we won't have baby room pics til next week. Sorry folks!
This weekend I am attending a crop, I'm excited to meet a lot of people that I 'chat' with online at the scrapbook store, I'm also nervous. I'm really hoping to get a lot of work done on this one project I'm being paid to work on.
Next weekend, the ladies at church are having a baby shower for us, I'm excitd about that too! I'll be sure to share pics from that!
Tomorrow I'm getting a bit of pampering done! I'm getting a manicure and a pedicure! I hope the lady is gentle on my toe... the nail is still very purple from its unfortunate encounter with the coffee table in the front living room on July 3rd! After my pampering, then I have to go to the diabetes consult and learn how to inject myself with insulin twice a day! So if you've been following my blog at all, after tomorrow I will be giving myself THREE shots a day!!!!! I'm super disappointed that I wasn't able to control the diabetes strictly with diet. I really tried, I've been doing it since the first of May, but evidently its just too much now and I need the meds. On the upside, I have to watch to make sure now that my sugar levels don't go too low, so that means I get to add a little more 'goodies' to my diet. So that should make me a little bit happier.

~til next time!

hmmm who'd a thunk??? :D

Did you miss me?

I haven't blogged in over a week, and there is no reason for it. I was not even out of town. I've been home this whole time. I just got nothing for ya this week. Me and the baby are doing just fine. I'm just now getting uncomfortable and tired of being pregnant... of course I'm not entirely ready for the alternative yet. I am getting more tired than I used to be, and I'm always ready to eat! We are ordering the furniture for the baby's room this Monday, so that's a bit exciting. It should be here in 7-10 days after the order is placed. I'll take pictures for ya once it's all set up.
The scrapbook store that I used to work for is having a huge sale. So I HAD to go and see what was left. I picked up quite a few things at 70% off... so I'm totally excited about that and feel quite inspired to get some work done! SO YAY! Finally (hopefully) I'll get my scrapping mojo back!
On the way to meet up w/ someone from ScrapJazz today I passed a yardsale. They had a fishtank on the lawn, so I pulled up. I checked it out and it looked really good to me, so I called C. Told him all about it... and now its in the back of my car waiting for him to get home. It's a 90 gallon tank! I still can't believe the price. It's like we stole it from them with their knowledge! We've gotta clean it up and then set up the water to run for a few weeks, then we are going to need more than 6 fish. LOL! C wants to keep the other tank set up, but I just don't know where we'd put it. Although if there is room in the baby's room, I think that would be totally cool to have it in there. Of course selling it is still an option. Only time will tell.
Still loving the car! We'll be busy this weekend making a 'frame' for the ScrapFest that I'll be attending the first weekend in August. When that's done I'll totally share pics w/ ya! Next weekend, my aunt and uncle are most likely coming up to help C with an idea that I had... hopefully, we can make my idea a reality. I'm totally excited about it.
K, really that's all I've got for now so ....

Your are what you eat!

Found this 'blog quiz' on someone else' blog....
Of course I would be a chocolate chip cookie... they are my absolute favorite cookie!

You Are a Chocolate Chip Cookie

Traditional and conservative, most people find you comforting. You're friendly and easy to get to know. This makes you very popular - without even trying!

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

It's gone... and I'm a little bit sad about it.

Yesterday, on a whim I thought I'd run into the Nissan dealership to pick up some books on the sentra and the altima, then run to the used lot to see what they had. My thoughts were that I was doing the leg work for C and that if I found anything I thought he'd like we'd run by and look at it later. Well, LONG story short. Last night we bought C's new car. It's an '06 Sentra Special Edition. The ONLY thing I don't like about it, is that it is white. C doesn't like that it is white and that it is not a manual transmission.... and that I more or less pretty much 'picked it out'. He's right and I totally understand. I picked out and bought my car while C was in Texas. He barely had a chance to test drive one down here while I was buying it up in St. Louis. Then when we are only THINKING about replacing his truck, boom! all of a sudden, I've got papers for him to sign. Really, it's a great little car, totally perfect for what we want it for, it has almost (he REALLY wanted a stick-shift) all the features that C wanted plus a few extras, (spoiler, upgraded stereo system w/ 6 disc in dash cd player, tinted windows (which we would've added anyway), oh and a 10" built in subwoofer in the trunk. It's a pretty nice drive and as an added bonus the passenger seat is REALLY comfy! The best part is the money we will save on gas. It gets just about 3x more mileage than C's truck, so we can almost pay the car payment w/ the money saved on gas. It was sad to walk away from the truck, I think I even teared up a bit, but I'm also a little glad to be rid of it b/c I was starting to get worried about C's safety while he was driving it.

I've been holding out on you folks... this is for the coffee drinkers out there.
While staying at my aunts place in NY, someone made this UNBELIEVABLE pot of coffee (all decaf). I asked what they did and since then I've been making this at home. I fill my coffeepot's water line to 8 then add 3 scoops of decaf coffee, then 2 scoops of hazelnut coffee (i've been using folgers, since I didn't get to wholefoods yet to pick up the organic decaf coffees they have there) then 2 scoops of french vanilla. The coffee smells SO YUMMY and tastes just as good as it smells. I drink one cup hot in the am then have some over ice in the afternoon. What a delicious summer treat let me tell you!!! YUM YUM YUM!! If ya like flavored coffee ya gotta try this!
