I paid off my last small personal debt today. A couple of weeks ago, I paid the very last payment on our student loans. (We had a big stinkin’ pile of them when we got married, mostly MFH’s.) So now we are…..

I’m starting to get some of my energy back. I was able to clean up my craft space last night, and tackled some lingering unpacked boxes this morning. I still have morning sickness, but it’s getting easier to eat again.
We had some money refunded from our previous phone account, and we used it […]

We are going to have another baby. Sometime next April. On purpose.
So I’ve been having morning sickness, not too bad, about the same as last time. But I have a terrible lack of energy. I lie around all day reading, until OLC demands to go to the playground right outside. […]

Nowadays, I only listen to the radio on the rare occasions when I’m driving myself around. (We are a one-car family for now; when MFH drives, we listen to his iPod.) Usually I set it to the local Christian station. I tried listening to some country again yesterday, but it was all […]

The State Fair was fun; we went with MFH’s mom. The day started with a Minor Crisis: in the morning, we loaded OLC into the car in her pajamas, and I threw an outfit into her diaper bag. Well, we got to the fair, and I changed her and started to dress […]

I just haven’t been feeling well lately, and also the weather has been more than hot enough for me. This is my least favorite time of year; I just try to survive it.
OLC is in a phase where she names things, and then wants me to echo what she said. Even […]

We were on vacation last week. We drove across Wisconsin, and vowed together to never buy a home that is under a HOA. Especially not a HOA that will let you paint your house “any color, as long as it’s beige.” We took the car ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon, which was […]

Economic pessimism continues, at least for me.
It’s sad when the best economic analysis is coming from The Onion: Recession-Plagued Nation Demands New Bubble To Invest In, which ends with
“America needs another bubble,” said Chicago investor Bob Taiken. “At this point, bubbles are the only thing keeping us afloat.”
The next time I see MFH’s […]

One week of moving fragile and awkward items, MFH taking a load over and unloading after work every day.
One week of me packing up a room a day, while MFH worked late every night and continued to take a load a day.
One U-Haul loaded to the top, constrained by time, but by then I had […]
