Have you heard the news?

Just in case you haven't heard the latest news....

I'm pregnant!

Yep, there's a bun in the oven and it'll be ready to meet to world in December. The Dr. hasn't given me a specific due date, but I think it'll be Dec. 10 or 11.

I am almost 8 weeks and I'm looking forward to getting out of my first trimester. The nausea is taking it's toll on me.

I'll be posting more pregnancy info as the weeks go on, but that's it for now!

This makes me sick to my stomach

So last year we paid a good amount of money to have our flagstone patio pulled up and relayed. It looked so much better and we were pretty happy with the way it turned out. Well, after the ice storm and Ameren's truck trying to get down our neighbor's drive (which butts up against our patio) which drove over a 2ft width x about a 15ft length of our patio, it's now crumbled and sunken in. It looks horrible! It makes me sick. Then last week our neighbor rented a POD and that truck did the same thing and has made it even worse. You know Ameren isn't going to pay for the damages, and we like our neighbors and I don't want to create any hard feelings between us, but they made the problem worse! I guess it's just going to stay looking horrible. Oh, and a section of our concrete curb was completely smashed into the ground. It's now level with the neighbor's concrete drive. UGH!!!! Can you tell I'm upset??

6 hours at the auction with Lori finding great old stuff: priceless

SOLD to the highest bidder!

So, I've discovered something very dangerous. Now that I know about it, it's going to take a lot of restraint to not go. What's the discovery??? A weekly auction here in town. I don't know how I lived in Decatur for almost 2 years without hearing about this sooner. But, I've found it and I'm hooked. I went today with Lori (my auction buddy) and we had a great time trying to get our favorite things for as cheaply as possible. I must say, we both did really well.

Can't wait to see what I find next week!
