Recently some things have gone on that have made me want to chat privately with my loyal readers, without having prying eyes reading my thoughts.While I don't understand everything about it, and it will take me forever to feel happy about the way it looks cause I am weird like that, I have moved over to WordPress where I will be able to password protect some of my thoughts.So...I am still

Jenn is sound asleep next to me, finally. We've been sick round these here parts. I swear this is the year of the sickies!! It is getting really old.We had a busy day today. I worked in the morning while Jenn ran a few errands. She picked me up after work and we headed over to the Landii's. There we split. Jenn went with Chris and the girls to another softball game. They won this one!!

I personally think she looks hot.Last night she did even better than the night before!! She was 1 for 3, but made contact all three times. When she did get on base she then had to run from 1st to 3rd! And she did it, and was safe! No small accomplishment for a 34 year old who hasn't played in 10 years, is on the heavier side, and has bronchitis!!She also had several good plays at third base.

Jenn had her first fast pitch softball game last night. I'll admit it. I was nervous. She hasn't played softball with anyone over the age of 9 in about 10 years. I was worried that the thing Jenn defines herself as, athletic, would let her down. She is 10 years older and a little bit heavier.I was wrong. Chris invited us over before the game so that he could help Jenn practice. They went

Our weekend started out great!! Avery came over Friday night and spent the night. We had tons of fun watching Spongebob and eating grapes in bed. Saturday morning we went out to breakfast before heading over to the Landii's house to get ready for Lyz's party!!!!!Everything went quite smoothly. There wasn't much we could do until right before the party started...then of course things were

They were all doing different routines, or watching each other to see what the others were doing..I also enjoyed the older girls.

When you don't have kids you can sometimes lose out on some of the fun activities that people with kids have an excuse to do. Which is why we so often borrow other peoples children. You know, to go to water parks...or kids museums??We headed out to the Circus yesterday. I love me some circus. (Please don't give me a hard time about animal cruelty.)

34 is my favorite number. That means that this is totally going to be your happiest year ever!! Yes, I know, you think you are wayyyy old. But I think the gray in your hair is totally sexy!The last year with you has been wonderful. We have grown together so much. I don't care what people think of the fact that we spend most of our time locked in our bedroom eating junk food and watching tv.

I have lived in Lancaster for almost 12 years now and have gotten away with never going on a formal tour. Sigh.To be honest, it wasn't as bad as Jenn and I thought it would be. Yes, Jenn went too, I refused to go alone! We did the tour with three old couples. They asked some really fun

She asked her readers to guess how many "objects" were in it. Between syringes and needles and all the other stuff that we infertiles shoot ourselves up with on a constant basis. I used a very scientific method to make my guess.

This is a Many Mingoed Monday!First we will start with the Pittsburgh Zoo. Avery and I were so excited to see the flamingos the zoo had!! I warned her that flamingos smell very VERY bad, she laughed. While we were up visiting the polar bear Chris pointed down the hill and through the trees---FLAMINGOS!!See them?? It was a totally zoomed in photo through trees and a fence.Where is the better

I may have mentioned before that I believe that Easter is the worst of the childless holidays*. At least with Christmas there are still presents, Halloween you can still dress up and pass out candy. That Thursday in November...there is still yummy food.But Easter? Two adults would look a little silly hiding eggs in the backyard for each other to find. We weren't invited over to anyone's egg

After several months of talking about it, Avery's Garden got started today. If you are interested in following along you can see her very own blog here at Avery's Garden. As we get further into the process I plan on interviewing her and getting her point of view on the way things are growing!!As you can see...she is very excited to work on her gardening project!!

We stayed an extra day. We blamed the snow, even though there was hardly any on the ground. But we wanted more fun, and the hotel night was free!!! Can you blame us?Headed out to the Carnegie Science Center for some fun. Apparently all of the schools in the greater Pittsburgh area had the same idea. The place was freaking packed!!Joni and Delaney had some fun wheeling around:We all had fun

I really wish I would have caught on video Avery's reaction of seeing the first dinosaur. This girl LOVES her some dinosaur. She was so excited to go to the dinosaur museum!!!Avery and her first dinosaur:Teaching us something:A LONG NECK!!!!:Chris took this from the third floor:Jenn and Avery:The T-Rex'sDelaney was rather bored by the whole thing:Interestingly enough, when Avery was asked

As you know our trip started off awesome with my little brother, Marshall, surprising me! We went out to dinner that night and then hung out in the hotel room laughing.Marshall and Delaney at dinner:This was also good for Chris. See poor Chris is the only guy. Joni, Lyz, Jenn, Avery, Delaney, two dogs, 3 cats and me, outnumber him. He claims that the fish are all guys so that he isn't alone.

I have mentioned the flamingo curse before right? Once you know that I am addicted to flamingos you are forever forced to think of me when you see them. Sorry!! You must now always think of me!! {insert evil laugh here}The other day I got an email from Teaberry. She was struck with the curse.

So we check in to the hotel here in Pittsburgh tonight and change to get ready for dinner. Avery calls and asks us to go downstairs to meet them in her room. Their room is different than ours and Lyz asked me to go into the kitchen to see if it is different than ours...SURPRISE!!!That is my little brother! He came and met us here to stay the night and hang out! Jenn surprised me! (Chris and

Today (after I get off of work) we are leaving with the Landii to go to Pittsburgh. We are going to the Pittsburgh Zoo and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, specifically to see the Dinosaur Exhibit. We are expecting perfect weather!!! Cold and raining on Monday and snow on Tuesday!! (sarcasm.)Last week Jenn got Avery all excited about going! Avery must have asked 80 times in a 10

While driving home the other day I saw an interesting sight. So interesting that I made Jenn turn around and go back so I could show it to her, and take a picture so I could talk about it here.Now what in the world do you think that is for?My only suggestion is a traveling peep show.I want it though.

We headed out to the Flower and Craft Warehouse with Elissa. Oh my goodness. I am not kidding you when I tell you that it could take a full week to see the entire store. It is literally a warehouse and it just keeps going and going and going. Whole rooms of beads, scrapbooking stuff, and candles. Oh my goodness the candles. We sniffed a million different varieties!!

Saturday evening we had a date with Elissa to head to the Flower and Craft Warehouse. (I have to mention that it is located in Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. I live in the oddest place. Virginville, Intercourse, Blue Ball, Climax...interesting names that the Amish have given the towns around us.) The place is hugegantic!!!

Last week Jenn and I both got new cell phones. I am in love with mine in case you needed to know. I have had three cell phones in my entire cell phone career. Jenn, she's had at least eight. They have landed in toilets, fallen out of pockets into puddles, been run over by cars...she is the queen of killing the cell phone I tell you!! (although Lyz and Jim come in a close 2nd and 3rd)Anywho.

We went to Chris's first home game for football this past weekend. By we, I mean Jenn went with him really early because she has become the team's honorary physical trainer. She tapes the players ankles and hands, whatever they need. She even helps them stretch and diagnosis problems:She has also become the teams videographer:It makes her really happy and makes her feel needed. It has been

I don't like vomit. I think I have mentioned this a few times before?? Yes? Okay, then I won't review my reasons.I have had the pleasure this week of getting spit up upon three times in one evening by Delaney. You would think I would have learned the first time that she spewed on me to turn her away from my body. Nope. I just kept letting her do it.So, my Mingo Monday spotlight item of the

I know, I never actually came out and talked about what is going on in our TTC world. We decided to take a break. My depression hit rock bottom. I wanted to make my head better. Another negative may have honestly put me over the edge. I was afraid of myself. I was afraid to be left alone. We do plan on starting up here again soon. We had discussed just trying at home for a bit...but with

I cannot believe that Skyler is 13 years old. A teenager!! Holy crow. He was only 8 months old when I met him. He had the cutest little chubby legs! He was teasing me today that I used to change his diapers...nope sorry! I don't do diapers. Not his, not Austin's, not Belle's, not Avery's, not Delaney's (yet...I can't promise I never will...but it isn't on my agenda of things to do.)We went

I thought it would be a quick visit..here is a script for antibiotics go home and get some rest, the end.Nope, instead I puked on the doctor (she shoved the tongue depressor too far into my mouth before I could warn her of my quick gag reflex), and got sent home with 6

More Florida purchases!!You know I have feet issues. I like my socks to be a bit small so they fit on my feet nice and snug. I like the realllllly low top, I prefer them not to go higher than my ankle bone. I also prefer colorful socks. I wear Crocs 100% of the time.

Jenn and I aren't religious. We were both raised LDS (you might know it better as Mormon), but I honestly cannot remember the last time we went to church on a Sunday. Not in this century I believe.That changed today. We went to St. Leo's here in Lancaster to watch Delaney get baptized. This was the first Catholic baptism I have been to. I have been to several Catholic masses so I know most

Since Jenn and I do not have children of our own, we have taken to "using" other peoples children. We borrow Avery when we have some fun new place we want to try out, but would look weird without bringing children with us. After our trip to the Hands on House a few weeks ago I asked when we were going to the Lancaster Science Factory. Yesterday was the day. Chris had off work too so he was

Just home from a trip to Florida, I have lots of mingos to show off so it was a hard choice. I decided to go with the first one I purchased.I have lots of flamingos. Way too many to be honest. That still doesn't stop me from purchasing more. Many times while in Florida I would pick up a mingo and coo over it, show it off to everyone with me and then set it back down. For several of them

Fake Babies are weird. We were out to dinner last night and three women over the age of 25 carried in a baby carseat with a beautiful little girl inside. She was covered in crocheted blankets and all sweet. But she didn't move. I used to have a dog that slept with one leg up in the air, but babies don't do that. Jenn and I debated long and hard over if this baby was real, or a doll. Debated

Seven years ago I was planning a wedding. I wanted new fresh ideas. I didn't want to do the same old thing with the same old vows. I wanted to be somewhat different. I found a website called The Knot, and fell in love with it. It had ideas I would have never found here in Pennsylvania Dutch Country. It had planning down to the smallest detail that I would have never thought of. Most

It gets harder and harder every year to leave Florida. We really do want to move there. A few years ago we thought long and hard about it, but didn't. Jenn's mother was ill and we wanted to be close by.Jenn's mother is healthier now, so we could leave and feel at peace about it. But now there are other things holding us here.

So...I'm not doing a very good job of making sure pictures are taken of me. I keep saying "Make sure we take pictures of me", but then I get all involved with sunning myself in my comfy chair. Or splashing in the waves. Oh wait, Chris took a picture of me, but it is on his camera. I wouldn't share it anyway because it is a picture of my cleavage. Weirdo.Sigh, beach.Today Jenn and Avery spent

Slept in a bit this morning. Jenn's sun poisoning has returned with an evil vengeance, so she had taken some Benedryl last night to get the swelling to go down, and just didn't want to wake up in the morning.We headed to the beach to meet everyone. Lyz has a cabana so that Delaney can be out of the sun, and Jenn shared it with Delaney today...aren't they cute? Two little beach bums sleeping the

We got up super early to meet the "boys" at the condo they are all staying at...me in my pj's so I could sleep on the couch until the girls woke up. The "boys" were heading off on a day of deep sea fishing on the Sea Spirit II.On the "girls" side of the day, once everyone got up we all headed to the beach. I drove. My car. All by myself.

For Mingo Monday today I present my beach bag. I bought it a few years ago here (in Florida) at the flea market. It happily fits two huge beach towels, sunblock (which I have to buy in bulk), Jenn's contact supplies, the camera bag and whatever else I feel like stuffing in it.It is beautious.It has these cute beads on the handles and the zipper...They are what really sold me on the bag.

Day .5Friday afternoon Jenn picked me up at work and we headed to get Jenn's hair done, my nails done, and both sets of eyebrows waxed. We then stopped at Lyz's so Jenn could rinse the hair off and then....WE WERE ON THE ROAD!! We stopped at the first exit in Maryland to pick up Lyz's mom Joni and then drove straight through.Day 1We stopped at Burger King for a quick breakfast and were greeted

Last week Lyz called to say that she got a family membership to the Hands on House. She was able to add a babysitter to her membership so she added Jenn. It is one of Avery's favorite places to hang out, so since Jenn is umemployed, Jenn could go to and they can have fun together. They immediately planned a date for Tuesday.Avery took to calling Jenn every few hours to discuss what kind of fun

Last night we went with a friend to an AlAnon meeting. (I don't want to name names as the whole point of AlAnon is the anonymity!) On the way home it started snowing blizzard style. It was amazing! We took Minne outside and within 10 minutes her footprints had already disappeared. When friend got home she called to let us know she got there safely...but they had no snow what-so-ever.This

I've never been one of those people that collects the commemorative plates. I "know" a girl who got an Obama plate...her mother thought it was the greatest gift ever...because the daughter voted for Obama. What is she going to do with the plate? She'll have to have it out when her mother comes to visit?But...sometimes silly things strike my eye, and I HAVE to have them. The second visit we

When I last discussed some of my oddness with you all, there was something that everyone could relate to. I'm searching for someone that has the following problem. I said to Jenn last night I cannot be the only person with this problem.When we got married I did not have cold feet. I did hyperventilate while walking down the stairs to the ceremony, but that was because I didn't want it to end.

I'm going to stray a bit. Today's flamingo isn't actually a part of my collection.Last week I was talking to Brandi and we were talking about school. Brandi is taking Algebra. Brandi and I hate Algebra. Algebra is icky. All math in my book is icky. I can use a calculator to add 2 + 2 and get five. It's true, ask Jenn.Jenn on the other hand is a math freak. You say algebra, she rattles off

Please go read it before you continue on with reading my blog today. I wrote a really long comment for her blog, and blogger went and ate it. Mean blogger.

Once upon a time, I don't remember the year, Lyz, Chris, Jenn and I went to Massachusetts for Jenn's little sister's field hockey tournament. On the way home we decided to tour around a little bit. We went to Plymouth and saw the rock which is really more of a pebble in case you want to know. We toured the Mayflower replica and went to the cranberry museum.Then Chris and Jenn had this

Growing up I think we always had a fish tank. I have many memories of that fish tank including one of the fish trying to kill itself by swimming into the glass, cracking the glass and having all of the water pour onto the living room floor. Another memory is of the coolie-loaches (no idea if I spelled that right). The were worm looking fish and I thought they were just too cool. Then they

I'm sick. Sooooo sick. I am a snot bucket. I came home from work Monday and slept on the couch from 4 until 8 when Jenn decided that I would probably be more comfortable sleeping in bed. Then I was wide awake at 3:30am. After moaning loudly several times, Jenn finally got the hint and woke up to keep me company. We stayed up watching stupid television shows until 6 when she decided that I

For today's installment I present to you the item that made Mingo Monday come to pass. You can hand me a flamingo from my collection and I can tell you who it came from, or where I bought it without hesitation. Most of my flamingos have even been entered into a log of sorts.So imagine my surprise one day when I came across a postcard in my craft room (the room where most of the flamingos live)

I love New Year's Eve...this year more than any other. It is a fresh start. The (pardon me) shitstorm that was 2008 is over, and this new year just has to be better.I worked until 5:30 making sure everything was under control for the party that The Hotel throws, and then we headed to Jim and Elissa's for dinner and Wii playing.

It doesn't matter if I leave my house an hour early to get somewhere that should only take 10 minutes.
