LA Confidential
Here's a good example of where my head is lately....
After my post yesterday, Nicole reminded me that I forgot to include my trip to Baton Rouge in my short listed series of events over the past month. How could I forget surprising my sister for her baby shower and seeing her cry and her calling me a nerd? How you ask...I'll tell you how.
I have been homeless for 4 weeks; I left for Louisiana on a Friday and came back to an empty house on the following Monday with all of my stuff in storage. It took Navarre only about a week to figure out something was going on, and this wasn't just a fun weekend at Oma and Grandpa's house. She was like, "Where's my stuff and where's my clothes and more importantly, where's my stuff and why are Momma and Daddy here too?"
It's no excuse, but here's the corrected list:
1. looked for a new house
2. bought a house
3. sold a house
4. took a quick trip to LA to surprise Nicole and baby Caroline
5. put all wordly possessions in storage
6. moved in with in-laws
7. live with in-laws
8. buy a whole ton of expensive house stuff
9. do whatever I have to do in order to stay sane while my husband, my 22-month old and myself share space with others
10. learn about 1.5 years of university courses on electrical engineering in order to be satisfied with my generator purchase for my country home with acreage
11. learn to sleep at night knowing there is a very large tank of shit (also known as a "septic tank") under my lawn
(I added that last one just now; I had allowed myself to forget about the tank o shit, but now that the closing date is looming....I've got shit on the brain)

Anything but mundane
So here I am. I've been away for a LONGGGG time. How have you been? Good I hope. I could bore you with details of what's been going on lately with us, but I won't. If you talk to me on a regular basis, then you know. If you don't, here is a brief synopsis...
1. looked for a new house
2. bought a house
3. sold a house
4. put all wordly possessions in storage
5. moved in with in-laws
6. live with in-laws
7. buy a whole ton of expensive house stuff
8. do whatever I have to do in order to stay sane while my husband, my 22-month old and myself share space with others
10. learn about 1.5 years of university courses on electrical engineering in order to be satisfied with my generator purchase for my country home with acreage
So, that brings you up to speed. We close on the new house Thursday. I have been all consumed by house stuff lately.
Now, back to good old blogging and working and having fun with Jamie and Navarre.
On a side note, our weather has been gorgeous, and I've been soaking up as much vitamin D as possible. On a even wider side note, my new contemplation is whether or not I can jump on board the Twitter bandwagon.
Peace out.

Can I get some shroves for anyone?
Happy Shrove Tuesday to everyone out there!
Hope you had awesome, fluffy pancakes today; although, we didn't have any....maybe on the weekend.
To the American readers, Shrove Tuesday is like Mardi Gras with the following exceptions:
1. One day - not a season
2. No cake with plastic babies
3. No prolonged bouts of drunken revelry
4. No beads
5. No anything else that goes on at Mardi Gras
6. You eat pancakes at some point during the day on Shrove Tuesday.

Get some good beads and don't fall on your face
Happy Mardi Gras to everyone. Hope you've had a safe and kickass Mardi Gras weekend.
and fyi...Bbg pooped and peeded in something other than something covering her butt. Can I send the light at the end of the diaper-changing tunnel? Stay tuned...
