Alive & Well...though growing by the minute...

I know I have been missing in action for a long time and I have missed blogging, but I have been busy busy busy and right now I am really not sure doing what. That seems to be my life lately, I have been busy with not much to show for it.

I go to work, come home, take care of the dogs, clean up around the house and then watch some tv and go to bed. Then every weekend from here through mid October I am booked with something to do. Time is flying.

I can't believe that I am already 16 weeks pregnant. 16 weeks! 4 weeks from 1/2 way there. Scary. So much to do and so little time. We want to finish our basement. Me, I want to pay someone to do the big stuff...Jimmy wants to do it all ourselves. Now while I know we can do it ourselves...it will take way more time then we have. And on top of that we need to do the nursery. So I think I have convinced Jimmy that we will get someone to do parts of the basement that are time consuming...like the framing and the drywall. I have a friend that can do our electric, we can do the bathroom and we can paint and everything else. So...I send out an email to the contractor that did our neighbor's basement tonight and hopefully we will get back a reasonable quote tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed...because if he is reasonable, then we can get rolling on the basement and hopefully have it finished by Christmas -- that would be the best situation...

Jimmy's clearance finally came through, so he might be starting to work with me in a few weeks...so that is looking up. Better benefits and more money are always nice.

I am heading home this weekend to go shopping with my mom for maternity clothes at the outlets. My mom is one of my favorite people to go shopping with...because she buys :) heehee I am milking it up while I can because after her first grandchild is here I have a feeling that I won't be getting much :)

I made a big batch of french onion soup tonight and it turned out delicious! I can't wait to have it for lunch tomorrow. I just hope it doesn't stink up the microwave too much at work. Some people at work are way too sensitive about things you cook in the microwave.

Well I need to sign off and go look up some info about planning our 10 year high school reunion.

Until then...

Adios :)
