Other Things, Not Exactly Christmas Related

By jesser | Published: 11:25 am

There have been other goings on … but with all the Christmas catch-up I haven't written about them. In no paticular order: • We have been having MAJOR WIND here (house shaking, wake up the baby variety) … and while we get some major wind fairly frequently, this lasted for about 12 hours straight. No [...]

Christmas Crafties

By jesser | Published: 3:14 pm

It was nice this year to have a few moments to be able to create some unique gifts for our loved-ones. For Tabby’s beloved babysitter, we gave her this plant. It has a cut out of a Tabby holding a (photoshopped) sign saying “Thanks for helping me grow!” It was easy to make and the [...]

Christmas All Wrapped Up!

By jesser | Published: 7:14 pm

Christmas was a decided success in our household. Miss Tabby got into the whole affair and rather than expending the energy to unwrap gifts herself, requested that they be “OPEN”ed by her many willing minions. She was enraptured by the kitchen Santa brought her (complete with IKEA dishes) and by many of her other thoughtful [...]

Yes, Jessica, there is a Santa Claus

By jesser | Published: 9:11 am

Last night, Christmas came early to our house. The insurance company gave us our settlement less than 2 weeks after the accident. My car is a “total loss” and we will be getting a pretty darn fair check from them today … pretty much the max I thought we could get from them. And they [...]

'Tis the Season

By jesser | Published: 8:18 am

This was my weekend: shopping with Mom on Friday; shopping and subsequently wrapping with Kelly on Saturday; digging out our horribly filthy house followed by more wrapping on Sunday. I'll catch up soon, promise! The next three days are [...]

6 Days?!?! Yikes.

By jesser | Published: 8:23 am

I cannot believe Christmas is 6 days away. But we are in pretty good shape, I think! We have 99.9% of the shopping done (just a few stocking stuffers needed) and gifts to those far away have been sent (yay!). And there is mostly just the wrapping to do … and maybe some cooking. Speaking [...]

20 Week Scan

By jesser | Published: 8:00 am

Tuesday was our 20 wk ultrasound. Instead of going through the normal radiology dept. at a clinic, I requested to have it done in the perinatology (high risk baby doctor) department. Last time the tech had some trouble scanning me and caused us some undue worry. This time I wanted to go straight to the [...]

Did I mention I've been busy? Here are the goings on in no particular order. • growing a person • making pot luck dishes (we have like 4 of these events before Christmas) • baking cookies (in addition to the ones baked last weekend) • singing Christmas carols and dancing around the living room with [...]
