Husbands are a Wonderful Thing

June 19, 2008 at 9:27 pm by Amanda

I just had to give kudos to my Hubby for finding an easy way to transfer music to my Philips PSS110 Shoqbox.  Maybe the most confusing and annoying MP3 player around.  (Sorry Dad, who works for Philips now).  But perhaps that is why they stopped supporting the damn thing.  After literally hours trying to figure [...]

Meetup.com

A few weeks ago I joined the Southtowns Moms meetup group on Meetup.com. I was a little apprehensive about it, seeing that I am on the shier side when I first meet people I don’t know, but I am SOOOO glad I did! I went to the first meeting, introduced myself to some [...]

That’s Life

April 26, 2008 at 9:17 pm by Amanda

I am laughing tonight at all the times people have told me how much our lives will change with the baby. When they say that we’ll never be able to plan anything again because you never know what will happen, and you’ll never be on time again. Honestly, I think that is just [...]

Why Are People Taking Pictures of Our House?

April 22, 2008 at 12:36 pm by Amanda

Ok, so this is the second time I have seen people taking pictures of our house. Who knows if there are more than that when I’m not home or not looking? The first time I witnessed this was about a month ago. A silver Impala drove past the driveway a little bit, [...]

A Baby in There!

April 12, 2008 at 8:00 pm by Amanda

Yes, there really IS a baby growing in my tummy. It’s strange at the moment because now that the morning sickness is gone, I am starting to feel normal again. Ok, ok I know, I’m not “normal”. But I really am feeling more like myself than I was a week [...]

Vacations

March 18, 2008 at 10:12 am by Amanda

While thinking back on some of the different trips Derek and I have taken over our soon to be 5 years of Marriage and 7 years of being a couple, it really struck me how we enjoy taking some very different vacations. And when I say different I mean on totally different ends [...]

Morning Sickness is for the Dogs

March 9, 2008 at 2:54 pm by Amanda

Granted I have been having more good days than bad lately, however there is one thing that is beginning to bother me. When I tell people that I am not feeling well I get “Why?” or “Oh suck it up, there’s tons of pregnant women out there, you’re not the only one.” or “You [...]

10 Year Anniversary

March 5, 2008 at 1:29 pm by Amanda

10 years ago tomorrow, a good friend of mine was taken prematurely from this world by a Drunk Driver. Her sister is hosting a candlelight vigil Thursday evening, March 6th in Caz Park. I strongly encourage anyone who knew Karen, or anyone else who may have been killed by a drunk driver to [...]
