South Western Snow Storm!

It started snowing Friday December 29th at about 8 am and it hasnt stopped for more than two hours total. Even as I write this, tiny flakes still fall.
No captions because I think the pictures speak for themselves.

My pleasure to introduce you to...

James William. Thats right, its a boy!!! Below is a slide show of his first pictures. It was awesome to see him on that tiny little screen and see him move as well as feel him. Hubby is tickled beyond belief that he has a little boy on the way. Now granted the lady who did the ultrasound was only 99% sure its a boy, but we are liking those odds.
My parents were there and so were the hubbies, plus him and I, well, it made for a packed little room, but there wasnt a dry eye to be found on the grandma's and the grandpa's were puffed up and very proud. Not to mention the perma grin hubby wore for the rest of the day. (And still has.) She said he looked healthy, heart pumping away and although he moved a lot at first he did eventually settle down enough to wave to everyone.

Today was a really good day...

Clock in the Battery

I have to give credit to the Hubby for that title. We have this clock in the kitchen that was hung before the batteries were unpacked. I had come across the batteries later that week and took it upon myself to install one in the clock so that it would be working. A few days later, my hubby, who had not had a lot of sleep, noticed and said "Oh! You put a clock in the battery!" I just looked at him and said "Yes, hun, I did. Are you impressed?" Then when it dawned on him what he had said we had a good chuckle over it. I warned him that I was going to use that for a blog title one of these times. He said that was cool as long as I explained why he said that the way he did. So I guess I should stress again that he had not been sleeping well, had been working very hard, so he had a little word dyslexia..Hey, it happens to the best of us. One of my recent favorite examples of this is:


Ha ha ha..drunk cats. Tell me that's not funny. Okay, well maybe its just me, but I laughed loudly when I read that. Maybe its because I can picture my little furry cat drinking beer and trying to get the bottles to stick to wall with static electricity all the while trying to convince the dogs to join in. (Dogs are not mentioned in the comic above, but I know Shelby likes to encourage my two little angel puppies *cough bullshit cough* to cause trouble with him) Otis would be up for it I'm sure, but I think Midnight would take some convincing. If it doesn't involve playing fetch or a butt rub, she really doesn't seem too interested.
Anyways, the comic is called Two Lumps: The Adventures of Ebenezer and Snooch and you can read it by clicking on the colored link. Although the artist/writer doesn't update every day, it is worth a check at least once a week if you have a few minutes to kill. I read a couple of other web comics, which I will be posting links to on my side bar either today or whenever I get around to it.

Hubby tore down the upper part of the back porch wall, so the pictures are already outdated! He moves quick! Personally, I like it better with out the jail motif. The back porch actually feels bigger, even though we really didn't gain any ground space. It looks awesome, so as soon as I can I'll try to get some updated pictures of the back porch posted.


Alrighty, well that's all for today, I think. Its about time for my afternoon snack, although I don't have my milk today, dammit. Ah well. I think I can survive with out it for one day.
Oh and speaking of the Crib Lizard™ I feel him/her moving all the time now. Not constantly, but mostly in the evening after I have been relaxing on the couch for a bit. I had some chocolate cake last night and about 10 minutes after finishing that he/she started moving. I think he/she got a sugar buzz!
I hope to end the whole he/she thing by the end of this week. I have a doc's appointment tomorrow, just a check up, and she will help me schedule the ultrasound then. I'm hoping to schedule it for Friday because everyone could make it (Hubby [who is off work, that punk], Mom, Dad, Slutty Hoe, and Momma Judy) and because I cant wait to know what is growing inside me, James William or Alexandria Lynne. I'll keep you updated as soon as I know though!

House Pictures!!

Okay slide show testie done. I decided I didnt like the one I used for testing anyways. This other place is much faster at uploading the photos, uses the same way to upload as the testie one did, and did not freeze up on me once. The testie slide show I used froze up on me almost every single time and completely closed down my net. Grr. But, thru the amazing power of google, I found a better site that does all the same things, but has their poop in a group.

Okay, so with out further ado...
Anj and Hubby's New (to us) House

By the way, there are no pictures of the three bedrooms, or the other two bathrooms, but ah well. You all get the picture, right? Ha ha ha..Get the picture..Woo Hoo! Anj has got her Funny hat on today!
