Adventures in Arcata

It seems like forever since I have been able to stroll around town and browse with Ciaran. It felt so good to get out and just enjoy some fresh air today. I had a Doctor's appointment in the middle of the day which went well, then Ciaran and I walked down to visit Mark at work. From there we managed to fit in a trip to the grocery store for dinner and then we had to hop back on the bus. So I missed my trip to the thrift store for treasure hunting. I guess it's not so bad, we get to head out again tomorrow and Monday, hopefully I can get some treasure hunting in on one of those days(and a coffee and a cookie). So that's it for now, I am off to whip up some Mac and cheese, sausages, and broccoli for our special Friday night feast. Then off to bed for me.

Breathing through my nose.......

Would be nice if I could, just kind of walking around with my mouth open all the time doesn't really look that attractive. At least I feel up to getting some work done. I almost reached my goal of my last post, but I cheated by taking a nap and therefore, my five billfolds have not been cut out yet. I did get this little wallet done, new and improved with more card pockets inside!

In other news, our maintenance guy is re-landscaping our front garden so no more chopping things down, or better yet, getting yelled at for not chopping things down in a time manner for me! I was pleased to finally be able to explain myself to someone who would understand. My explanation as follows: Too many fast growing herbs planted too close together+ living at the home where the only person that can actually keep things in check has terrifying allergy attacks which last for days each time she goes out to prune and plunk= FAILURE! (and lots of overgrowth) It was so nice to be understood. Thank you maintenance person, you are awesome for helping us out! I will miss my wild herb garden but I think it's the best solution at this time.

Dude!

I just want to work on some leather and get a few things accomplished today! No more colds and feeling icky, just gotta go with it. I will get my two projects completely put together today! I will get two other projects ready to sew today! I will cut out five billfolds today! I keep saying this to myself in my head, not sure if my head will tell my body to cooperate or not. Oh well, got to give it a try though.

Snot Sucking Monsters

My house is full of them right now. First Mark, now Ciaran, and I have a slight feeling I will be next. Fun, Fun, Fun. A whole house of snotty, grumpy bodies just in time for the weekend. Yipee!!!!!!!

It Just up and Blew Up!

Our little router died yesterday. It wouldn't even turn on. It just gave up and died. Bummer. I did learn a good lesson though. I can survive for more than a day without the Internet. It was a hard lesson, but a good one. Having the lovely computer fixer guy that I do, I was pleasantly surprised by his purchase of a new router as we made our way home from my Dr. appointment, our Internet addiction goes on!

Tortoise Hell!

They're not happy. Not at all. It is supposed to be getting warmer. The rain is supposed to be gone by now. All they can do is huddle together underneath their fake sun and dream of the day they will be out in the garden again romping through the weeds and eating dandelions. Poor little friends. I feel like I should knit them both a sweater, scarf, and hat. They are so depressed they won't even eat the special treat of grapes I gave them. Come back soon, sunny warm weather!

Finally!

So I have been "out" for a couple of days. Being newly pregnant in a high risky sort of way, I am up to my ears in appointments. Not really, but enough to keep me pretty darn busy. So I had my third check-up with my Doctor last night and finally got to hear the little stinkers heart beat! Such an incredible sound:) I was a little worried because on my last visit, I didn't get to hear the little one's heart beat but the Doctor did for all of two seconds. So on to today's visit to have my teeth cleaned and make an appointment to have tons of bloodwork done next week. Then I get to play with some sparkly leatha!
