Is The Weekend Over Yet?
January 27th, 2012 | 
Author: Usually, I can’t wait for the weekend to get here and I’m bummed when it’s over – just like everyone else in the world. I was think weekend to hurry up and be it over with though because on Monday, we have our ultrasound and will hopefully find out the sex of our baby. I can’t wait! I’ve been thinking a little bit about names but it will be easier when I know what we’re having. I need to start a blanket and if we have a girl, the third bedroom needs to be completely redone!
I do have plans for Saturday that I’m really looking forward to. The girls and I are having a much needed Mom’s Night Out! It’s been a while, I think the last MNO I was able to go on was last year before Christmas, so it’s time 
We’re going to Applebee’s for dinner and then maybe a little shopping after.
It’s Going To Be A Long Year!
Since the day after Christmas, Lauryn has thought of a million things that she didn’t get. We told her that she must have forgotten to tell Santa and that she’ll have to tell him next year. Now, daily, when she sees something on tv or that someone else has, she says, “Santa forgot to bring me that, but I will ask him for it next year.” I have a feeling that the list for next year is going to be longer that a skein of yarn!
I have a ton of stuff to get done around the house today and I’ve been stalling. Pretty much the entire house needs a good once over. Floors, bathrooms, kitchen. There’s only a little bit of laundry to do and I need to sew two buttons. One on a coat and one on a pair of pants. The house may need a good cleaning but it’s smelling pretty awesome right now. I have a “Going Bananas” bundt in the oven from a mix I bought from Do You Bake. I can’t wait to give it a try!

Sunday Stealing
The Never Ending Meme, Ends
Today we ripped off a blogger named Tense Teacher of the blog Tense for a Reason. (Yes we know that we’ve ripped her off not so long ago as well. It’s pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that’s where we live as a thief). Also, it’s long so we’ll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player’s posts. It’s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Crafting
I have been feeling very crafty lately but my hands get very sore, very quickly when I start crocheting so I think I need to start doing some other things. I’ve talked, quite a bit, about selling my crafts but never get a lot of inventory to actually get it going. A friend of mine was talking about starting a Facebook page for Personal Creations and I think that’s a great idea. I have a shop on Etsy but I haven’t put anything on it and her idea to start a page on facebook is great because that way you can see if your items will sell before you decide to open a shop and pay the fees. Lloyd and I are still working on the coat racks we want to put in and I found a great idea for coasters on Pinterest that I want to try. I still have tons of beads from when I was making jewelry and I think it’s time to get that back out.

Weekend In Review
We had homemade sloppy joes and mashed cheddar bacon potatoes for dinner. I recently read an article about austin food allergies and felt very grateful than none of us have to deal with anything like that.

Saturday 9
I Know I’m Losing You
Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we’ve committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do “random questions,” so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don’t have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today’s meme!
Saturday 9: I Know I’m Losing You
1. Have you ever still been in a relationship that you knew was ending, but you hung in with it anyway? If yes, why?
Sadly, yes. It was my first serious relationship, we’d been together for over two years and I was sad to see it end. I had hoped we’d be high school sweethearts that went on to live happily ever after but it didn’t work out that way….Thank God!
2. Tell why people around the world should be completely enthralled by you.
Um, I don’t think they should.
3. Other than where you live, what’s your favorite city and why?
I’ll say Grand Rapids. We used to live there and you can get to everything in five minutes
4. What is something you are really passionate about?
How I’m raising my daughter.
5. What has been your most exciting prize that you’ve won?
I haven’t really won anything thing big or exciting.
6. Do you think there was there a second gunman behind the grassy knoll?
No.
7. What was the silliest, most fun, crazy or impractical gift that you received?
Probably all of my bachelorette party gifts
8. What was the most practical gift that you received?
Right now I’ll say my new purse. I’ve been wanting one and I got one for Christmas that is just perfect.
9. What blogger has been in your blogroll the longest? How did you discover them?
Jodi @ MyLifeAsMamaJodi I met her through a mom’s group ( the MMC) and she helped me get into blogging
How I Missed You!
My netbook, that is For a couple of weeks, I wasn’t able to use it at all and then my uncle took it for a little while and ran some programs on it. It may not be completely fixed, I’m keeping my fingers crossed, because there may be some issues on my hard drive but I am so happy to have it back. Lloyd doesn’t care for it because it’s so much smaller than his laptop but that’s exactly what I love about it! I love the size and it’s just perfect for me. If it does go back to what it had been doing before, I’ll have to start saving and looking around for laptops notebooks. I’m praying that it won’t come to that. I LOVE my netbook!!!
