I wonder...

... if I can keep up this blog or if it's going to die like so many other things I start and never finish....

The Sims 3

Does anyone else play The Sims 3? Generations (the next expansion) just came out today and so I'm installing it as I type. Apparently there are bunk beds! I'm so excited. I've been making my own fake bunk beds since The Sims 2!

It seems to be erroring during the install. I hope it installs fully!!

Thought of the day

The world is not made for left handed people. My right handed father (the computer guy of the house until I got married) of course started my mom and me off using right handed mice. We never knew differently.

Of course now, as I'm trying to draw something on Paint, my hand is shaky because I don't have the same control in my right hand.

Exhausted and a note

I'm so exhausted from moving yesterday and being at Ikea all day Saturday. My eyes feel droopy and heavy and my work day hasn't even started yet.

On a side note, what I thought was AF on Saturday came for a while and went away. It never got heavy and I never saw anything yesterday. It was likely either implantation bleeding (KMFX) or actually AF but my miscarriage is messing with it. Please please please, IB!

Totally busy day

Tonight my husband built my Ikea DVD shelf for me! Isn't it pretty? All our DVDs used to be stacked in columns up and down instead of side to side rows like this shelf. That was ugly and hard to reorganize and pull off the shelves.

Today we barely sat down. We were busy moving things to get ready for the dry waller to come on Tuesday. He's going to be adding some fire resistant (30 min) dry wall or something to all the walls and ceilings between the main part of the house and the suite. My brother and husband patched up some big trenches in the ceiling. Mom and I did some recycling (cans and such) and then cleared out the laundry room to be dry walled. The guys took the cupboards down and then mom and I stacked them all in my brother's room. He's moving out next weekend and his bedroom is one of the two that will be part of the suite so we're storing stuff in there while he's still living there because we can't have the dry waller do his room until he has moved.

I cooked lunch for everyone which gave me time to sit down around 1pm because I was waiting for water to boil. Tee hee! We probably didn't all stop working until around 4pm. Couple that with our 15 hour day yesterday and I swear none of us feel like we got a break this weekend. Can't it be Saturday tomorrow?

My Struggles #2

Remember my friend that was having the baby shower in Portland. My second struggle revolved around her and her baby. We were 30 weeks apart. Her baby was born 2 weeks ago and it was a struggle for me.

It wasn't so hard being excited for them when they were in the hospital and having the baby. I enjoyed hearing about their experience and dreaming about my own.

When they finally were able to bring him home, it was just too real for me. The first video that was posted of him that popped up in my facebook newsfeed just made me break down. It was terrible.

It still makes me sad to see pictures but since then, I've blocked her from my newsfeed so pictures and videos don't sneak up on me. I still check them out, but only when I'm ready for them.

Finally home

Yeah so we're finally home after a 15 hour day. I'm thankful I found a blogger app for Android though. I should have figured there would be one since Android is totally all about Google and Google seems to own Blogger.

The above picture is a picture of all our loots. We of course didn't buy the sweaters and three of the long boxes are my mom's bookshelves but everything else is ours.

We spent over $1800 after taxes and before coupons/gift cards and then another $130 to have them ship the bed to us (not in the picture). I know I posted the number before but it wasn't this exact. My mom spent just under $300 by herself lol.

This is one of three bus compartments. Most of the boxes in here are ours... lol

And I leave you with a final comment. One... freaking... long... day!
