This and that

Here's one of those random posts...fasten your seatbelt!

We spent all day yesterday at the land. On the way out I told the girls I had forgotten my camera and Little d said "I guess you'll just have to take pictures in your mind." How precious is that!?! The girls had so much fun running around in the house and 'cleaning' up the sawdust and nails.

We have the exterior doors and windows in now. And it's officially dried in. Next comes the trim and siding, A/C installation, and shingles. Oh and electrical.

I've chosen the exterior colors for the house. I don't know where we are getting the paint yet, but the colors will look like the following from Sherwin Williams, ((I'll try to change the words to reflect what the color looks like))
  • the siding will be Baguette.
  • the front door Redwing.
  • the trim Navajo White.

Okay so the white is actually more cream than what Blogger offers, but anyway. If you do go to the site and launch the color visualizer, you can choose a house style and plug in the colors to see what it looks like. I thought it was fun to play with.

Speaking of houses...I feel as big as one. I am huffing and puffing and at night I have to sit up just to turn over. I am running out of clothes that fit and I waddle like a duck when I walk. And my gosh I hate it when some thing or some one touches my belly button! But the good news is that at my last appointment (Tuesday) everything looked fantastic! BP, urine, sugar, heartbeat. I weighed in at 152. And I'm okay with that.

I made lemon poppy seed muffins today. Mom and Dad and Poppy came up to visit. Poppy really enjoys the girls. Today he brought them some of Memaw's beads. Memaw used to have a ton of beads, and she wore them with everything. Tomorrow is Poppy's birthday. Ninety-one years old!

The bank has yet again screwed up stuff with our loan. As soon as we are done with this I told D we are yanking everything we have involved with them out!! I am SO INCREDIBLY FED UP WITH IT!

I got an email from CTMH today saying if I didn't place $300 in orders by end of March I will be dropped to junior consultant. And loose my downline. I have two downline and one is already a junior, the other just had a baby, and is closing on her new house. Not sure either is into making much money with the hobby. Both work full time. And I sure have better things to do than support CTMH in this economy. Although I went online last weekend to drop my autoship from 100 catalogs and saw that it was already submitted. So there's almost $200 I won't be getting back. Oh well. Hehehe too bad autoship doesn't count toward consultant status...

So this week I've just been marinating. Thanks for stopping by! Maybe tomorrow I'll have something creative...

I'm SOO glad I'm not the only one feeling like that about my belly button. I though I was getting weird about that one :-)

I'm so overdue...or not...I'm confused, which doesn't help at all.

I can't believe you're putting up with building a house while pregnant. That's heroic.
