Well, today’s the day. I’m no longer a paid employee of any organization. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, planning towards it, saving up and daydreaming. And I have to say, now that it’s here, I’m liking it so far. I’ve managed to make the WMD breakfast before he went to [...]

Now that we’re definitely in the grips of spring, we’ve been working outside more, trying to get out yard up to speed. One of my main projects for this year was to have raised beds for a vegetable garden. Well, more like a tomato garden, with a few peppers thrown in, but that’s what we [...]

So, after mulling over, discussing and praying about a move to Kentucky next summer so that the WMD could switch seminaries and we could be closer to our families, we’ve decided that the best thing for our little family in this economy is to stay put right where we are for the next four years and let the [...]

I finally found a dresser on Craigslist that was in our price range, the style I wanted and within a reasonable driving distance. It also came with a matching nightstand. I have plans to paint both, but I’m not sure which color yet. I think the nightstand will go in the living room, so it [...]

Now that it’s pretty obvious to most observers that I’m indeed pregnant, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about Little E’s nursery (the chick formerly known as Little WMD). Since her parent’s are the frugal type and purchased a small home, she won’t be getting her own nursery. But, the two walls she will [...]

Equals This:
My mom, my aunt and I made our annual pilgrimage to Ikea while the WMD and I were in Michigan for the holidays (Note: The WMD did NOT go to Ikea with us. That’s not the WMD’s thing. He would want me to note this for my readers). Since it’s only a once a [...]
Snow Day! Snow Day!

The bread and milk are nowhere to be found in the stores, work is cancelled and the roads are impassable, which means- SNOW DAY!
We have three inches and it’s still coming down strong. Okay, I know this really isn’t a big deal for my family and friends in Michigan, but here in North Carolina, this [...]

So Hanna’s just showed up at the door. As you can see, it’s a good thing we don’t live in Wilmington anymore. Although, I don’t think it’s really going to be that bad for them. Not this time around.
We’re just starting to get some rain. It will pick up tonight along with the wind. Apparently, [...]
A Hypothetical for You

So, um, hypothetically speaking, what would you do if the lawnmower spewed what appeared to be oil from what appeared to be the carburetor shortly before emitting what appeared to be blue smoke with a definite strong odor?
a) Immediately turn the lawnmower off and wait for your husband to get home from work so that [...]
