Slide show testie

If this works then I'm going to use it for my house pics. Hopefully will get those posted this weekend. YAY!




Woo hoo it works! But so far all I can upload is my myspace pics, which you all have seen. Hmm. I will have to play with this more this weekend and see if I can upload from my home computer.
But at least I know it can be done and how cool its going to be. Plus I got to say "testie" again! hee hee

Happy (late) Birthday Blog!

Whoa! Can you believe this blog was born a year ago, this month? I can’t. I was just checking thru my archives and I see my first post Testie was on November 9th 2005. Wow. So much has changed since then. I had to read thru some of my old posts and comments and I couldn’t help but laugh over this and this. Those are probably my two favorite posts. Although re-reading them I see how I could re-write them to make them better. Ah well.
There are a lot of memories on here that I'm glad I can look thru whenever I want. I can actually see myself changing over the past year and that’s something I have never gotten to experience before.

I also wanted to thank you few who are my loyal readers. You have stuck with me thru all my really shitty days, my crazy days, and my happy days. You few are special to me, more than I can succinctly put into words. With out you and your ever uplifting comments I would feel like just another lonely blogger. You all make this blog special and have kept me at it for the past year. Thank you.

Side note: James took pictures of the house this weekend, so as soon as she emails them over, I will get them shrunk and posted here. Either that or I will create a slide show on myspace so you guys can see it. I wish I could figure out how to do a slide show on here. Heck, maybe I will, since I have a decent net connection at the house now.

Our House...is a very very fine house

Well, I was hoping to post some pictures of our new home (new to us anyways), but being sick all this week, not getting home until its dark and pure lazy-ness has prevented me from taking any pictures though. Not only that, but I have to download the pictures that are already on my camera onto the computer before I can take any more. Work work work. I'll try to get some taken this weekend, though. Yes, I'll take a few of the ever growing belly too. It has gotten a little bigger, and I actually have clothes that fit right, (Thank you Slutty Hoe, Momma, and Motherhood!) which actually helps to accent the belly a bit better than the hubby's big shirts. I was feeling a bit frumpy before, where as now I feel feminine and pretty. I can’t thank Momma and Slutty Hoe enough for that little shopping spree. Now every day I hear how cute I look and I feel so much more comfortable than I was before.

As of today I am 20 Weeks, 144 days til the due date, and almost half way thru the pregnancy. Wow, I can’t believe how time flies. Although, I can’t help but wish to see the little Crib Lizard™, hold him/her in my arms, see him/her laugh, and see the Hubby with him/her. Plus I'm going to be tickled freaking pink (or blue) when we know what we are having. A few more weeks and we will.

The house is coming along nicely. The Hubby got the queen sized spare bed set up last night after finally discovering the missing pieces I have been telling him exist for at least 2 weeks now. He kept insisting, patiently, that there were no such pieces. I have been tearing down and setting up this bed since I was 15 years old, pregnancy memory loss or not, I think I would know what is supposed to be there. Still, he got it together last night and I'll get it all made up and pretty for our house guests that are due in tonight. Oh and he tried to hook up the cable in the bedrooms, but for some reason its not working, so for now, if you stay with me, you will have to live with a VCR and a selection of Movies for your viewing pleasure. Luckily both of the spare rooms have actual lights so we no longer need a TV to help illuminate a room. Most of you will remember the spare bedroom at the other house not even having a light fixture in it. Then the plug-in style lamp we had got a broke light bulb, and of course it wouldn’t have been a standard light bulb, which I had 30 of..oh no. It had to be a special one. And you all know what a procrastinator I am, so it never got replaced. Hell, I dont even know where that lamp is right now.

I still need to unpack some things, like my books. I miss my books. But for the most part we are living very comfortably and have just about everything we need. Life is good right now. Except for both the Hubby and I being sick pretty much since we moved into the house. We had a very thorough inspection before we bought it, so I dont think it’s something wrong with the house, but just the fact that it’s been getting colder outside and we have been pushing ourselves way too hard. We just need some good old fashioned rest. I think we will get our chance next week with the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend. Woo Hoo!

Anyways, I got Maria to take a picture of my belly with my phone so here you go. (By the way Maria says Hi!)


No. I'm not pushing it out, thats what I wake up to every single day. :)
