Redemption Song

Not only has the husband painted and finished our daughters' bathroom, he also fixed the toilet in the downstairs bathroom that's been out of commission for 2 months--woo hoo!!! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it-I'm about to loose control and I think I like it.

Top 10 part 7

Wow have my preggo cravings changed. Top 10 of what I'm craving now:

10) Popcorn shrimp and hushpuppies

8) Cheeseburger with chili and slaw-I've never had this in my life but it looks good
7) Still craving mother in laws macoroni salad.
6) Mother in laws spanish steak, mac n cheese and slaw
5) Watermelon-at least there's one bit of healthy on this list.
4) My Nana's potato salad and chicken salad-not really sure when I'll get these since she lives 2.5 hours away.
3) Tomato sandwich-I really wish my tomatoes would grow and turn red.
2) Ketchup-preferably on #9 and #8
1) Bloody Mary

Labor of Love

I love my husband.

I decided that it's time to get going on painting our upstairs. We went and bought paint for our daughters' bathroom Sunday and we decided that we would both tackle this job throughout this week. Well, I got home yesterday and the first coat was already on it. He said that he got to doing it and it was pretty fumey, so he just decided to finish it since I was pregnant and didn't need to be around the fumes--what a sweetie pie :)

Welcome to Adulthood

My wonderful husband just bought his first car on his own, using his own credit and without my help at all. He got a great deal and what he wanted on it and he's saving our family money. I'm so proud of him.

Now if I can only get him to fix our toilet.....hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Jesus Loves Me

and I don't have to forward that email to prove it, so quit sending them to me.

I really despise getting those emails.

Xnay on the Mr. Fixitnay

I thought I married Mr. Fix it--who I married was Mr. Procrastinator and Mr. Let's beat around the bush. Do I need to call a Plummer?? It's been a month and a half since my downstairs toilet has been leaking and about 2 weeks since it's out of commission. Do I need the exercise of going upstairs to pee? Yes. Do I want to? No--I'm pregnant and it wares me out.
Men (there was a big sigh there in case you couldn't hear it)

Top Ten part 6

Due to having constant heartburn for the past 3 days, I thought I'd compile a list of not so wonderful things about being pregnant--here we go:

10) Heartburn
9) Having to wear the same thing over and over
8) Waking up 4 times a night to pee
7) Waking up 4 times a night to get comfortable
6) Waking up 4 times a night b/c of heartburn
5) Not being able to get out of a chair without help
4) Not being able to use any stall except the handicap stall in the bathroom
3) Unnusually horrible smelling gas--sorry Eddie :)
2) Unnusually horrible moodswings--sorry Eddie :)
1) Heartburn

My little trooper

We took Lily hiking for the first time this past weekend. We went to Graveyard Fields off of the parkway in Asheville. It's about a 1/2 mile hike to where we set up shop along the creek and she wanted to do it herself--and hike the way back up herself. She didn't pitch a fit at all and pretty much kept up--she's a trooper--a SUPER trooper :)

Arrrrrrrgh

I feel like a pirate b/c I've sighed this phrase all day. Car salesmen kill me.

Mr. Fix-it

Back off ladies, he's taken and I married him.

The water hose on our fridge broke and our toilet is leaking. My Mr. Fix-it hubby fixed it himself. Granted, it took him about a month, but at least they're fixed and we didn't have to call an outside fix-it-upper.....at least not yet :)

How do I tell you I love you?

Especially when you're 18 months old?? I was changing Lily this morning and she stood up and looked at me, gave me a big smile, hugged me really hard and then gave me a big kiss and smiled and hugged me again.
Yea, she loves me :) She's cool.

Top Ten part Cinco

In honor of summer, I thought I'd compile a list of my favorite things to do in the summertime-in no particular order.

10) Sit outside with Eddie and talk or just listen to music and hang out outside.
9) Cookout-especially big cookouts with good friends and/or family.
8) Go to the beach.
7) Camping-although I haven't done this in a couple of years, I love it and miss it.
6) Summer foods-smores, watermelon, corn on the cob :)
5) Going to the pool-I love the feeling of coming in an A/C house after the pool.
4) Road trips to anywhere--however, with the price of gas, this will probably dwindle.
3) Eating at restaurants on the patio
2) Outdoor festivals-Bele Chere in Asheville-hopefully we'll make it back one of these days.
1) Fireflies and crickets--ahhhh, the sights and sounds of summer :)

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow?

I am so excited about my garden. This is my first garden, and thanks to my lovely husband, I have a nice, big one. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, watermelon, green pepper, red pepper, banana pepper, jalapeno pepper, cayenne pepper, pimento pepper, celery, okra, green onions, chives, parsley, cilantro and basil. He built it, I planted it, my daughter and I water it :) It's growing so well and I have tons of green little tomatoes growing--I just hope they all don't turn red and are ready at once....if so, I guess Eddie will have to learn to like tomatoes :)

Movie Review Monday

So, I went to see 2 movies this weekend-Iron Man and Sex and The City. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I enjoyed Iron Man. I was not looking forward to seeing this whatsoever, but my husband really wanted to see it on the big screen. Needless to say, we made a date of it and I'm glad I went. Robert Downey Jr. is a very likable character-very funny and I'm glad to see him back.

Sex and The City was AWESOME!! It was so good to see my girls back in action :) The characters were wonderful and the ending was perfect!! I cried and laughed and cried and laughed--it is definitely one to own! :)
