Feeling Blah and Cat Naps


Written Dec 4, 2009


I haven't had morning sickness but I have been feeling kind of yucky. I dont know how else to explain it. It seems to get worse when I don't eat so I have resorted to keeping snacks at my desk to munch on. I've also been really tired. Most nights I'm sleeping by 10pm and yesterday I actually took a 10 minute nap at my desk - crazy!

Barnacle Vase

I am loving this vase and it would be mine if they shipped to the US:



It's a Canadian store called Urban Barn. I wonder if I could actually get anything to grow in it?? My green thumb is more like a brown thumb. I'd be lucky if I could grow a chia pet at this point.

Jeff and I just found out we are 3 1/2 weeks prego! I am really excited and kind of nervous. I am not good at keeping secrets especially when it involves something I am excited about. And with the holidays coming up everyone is going to wonder why I'm not drinking wine with dinner. How am I going to explain that one!!
The only adjustments so far are no more coffee and no more wine. :-( I will miss you both but it is so worth it!
According to the internet here is a picture of our little E.T. (as Jeff calls it)

Refreshing the Curb Appeal: The After

Here are the after pics of our landscaping project.


















My Craigslist Find

I think it's been about 4 years since we decided to tear out the coat closet in the foyer to make more room for guests entering the house. So for 4 years now we have been throwing coats on the end of the couch in the living room while I searched everywhere I could think of for a solution that fit our needs and our style. Last Friday, while searching CraigsList for something else I came across a great coat tree and immediately contacted the seller who said the piece was still available and he would hold it for me. WooHoo! It's made of a dark, really solid wood that matches the furniture in the living room perfectly. I love that it has a little bit of character. Here it is, my CraigsList find for $50:









Here was the foyer before (with the coat closet). The space was so tiny it was difficult to get a good picture:
