Lots going on this weekend, I am feeling quite accomplished…

• 1st, I FINALLY Got my haircut! Much overdue. (and dyed-byebye grays!! I’m much too young for you anyway.)
• We carved pumpkins! I can’t remember the last time I did that, it was so fun. I think the hubby is getting into parenting mode and wanting to do fun stuff that we can start  traditions with the kids!

• We finally got both the mattresses moved into the storage unit. (We got a new one and moved the one in the spare room out to make room for baby stuff!)
• We got the crib! (picture coming soon) but need the mattress for it still… it was too expensive at Ikea, I’m sure we can find a cheaper one somewhere else.
• The hubby got the babys dresser partially stained, just needs another coat. Here is the before pic, he sanded it since it was painted (2 layers). will have after pic up… well, after!
• 
• I found something to make for our Halloween Potluck at work on Friday… cheesy crescent ghosts- very easy recipe.
• I uploaded all the pics from my camera I’ve been meaning to do all week (yea for stopping procrastination!)
• I finally started the baby blog! If you’re interested let me know and I’ll email you the link.

hm I think that’s about it! and I still have a bit of time left today, hopefully I’ll knock the last thing off my list… We’ll see!!

Hope you had a productive weekend too!

I haven’t been able to sleep well lately… the night before last both me and the hubby were up for some reason, so we were able to watch tv together at 3am before we finally both tired out so much and were able to go back to bed. Last night, it was only me! so I went in the other bedroom to not disturb him with my tossing and turning- and also it helps sometimes to just change locations. The spare room is in the front of the apartment, right next to the front door. I was up from approx. 1-330am before falling back asleep. 530 am I hear a pounding on the front door. Who the hell is pounding on my door so early in the morning?? I dont really know anyone who would live around us that would need us for an emergency so I try to just ignore it thinking they will go away. Nope, more pounding! So I get up and look out the peep hole and see a police officer. UH OH! So I open the door… my husband still soundly sleeping in the back bedroom mind you… “Sorry to disturb you in the middle of the night Mam’ but is that your car out there?” Um theres a whole parking lot full of cars out there and I have one out there so I’m assuming it is… but I say, “The Focus, that one is mine.” “Do you know what happened to the tags on that car?” (or something to that effect, I know he said “tags” a bunch of times instead of license plate so I dont know in my half asleep, exhausted state I knew what he was talking about!) I had taken the plate off the night before because I was supposed to get my new car and we were transferring the plate to the new car. I started to explain and I got to “I just took it off yesterday bec—” He stopped me there, “OK so you took the tag off?” “Yes.” “Ok so it’s not stolen?” “No” “Ok, just wanted to check and be sure it wasn’t stolen” “Nope, thanks”…. and thanks for waking my ass up on my DAY OFF! at 530 AM when I couldn’t sleep!!! GEEESH. Even if it was stolen what the hell would I do at 530 am? And come on, on a holiday when i usually am up at 530 but I actually get to sleep in you wake me up?? ERRRRR.

Then i was thinking… as I was desperately trying to go back to sleep… what if it really wasn’t a police officer, but he was just dressed up as a police officer? That wasn’t very safe for me to open the door by myself, but how can I not open it to a police officer, right? lol. Then when I told the hubby what happened (after he woke me by standing over the bed at 830 am just to check to see if I was ok…. gee thanks. Again, I’d rather sleep thanks!) he yelled at me (ok didnt yell but just sternly lectured and I took it as yelling in my exhausted state) “wake me up next time, don’t open the door. What if it was just someone dressed up as a policeman?” Haha, sometimes we thinking alike…

In Other News… I GOT MY NEW CAR TODAY!!!!! YEA! I have some pics but not uploaded yet. I’ll do that in another post later this week

The weather is sure cooling down! It’s a chilly 58 degrees right now (don’t kill me for those of you in the colder states!) It has been in the 80s all week with high humidity and lots of rain! But now it’s clearing up and cooling off, and by that I mean highs in the 70’s… It was stormy this morning, I woke up to the rain outside my window. And it was extremely windy throughout the day. But the sun shone through! So I had to get outside and go for a walk! So after the morning errands we went for a quick walk around the apt complex. I love the palm trees. it was the one thing that really made me feel calm and relaxed when I first moved here. I would drive down the road and just be in awe of the view. and so happy no matter my mood. I have since taken the view for granted and not spent enough time enjoying the palm trees lately. On my walk it actually surprised me to notice them again, I pass by the same trees at least twice a day but there I was dumbfounded by the view I hadn’t noticed in a while…

So I’m sitting at my computer trying to decide what we’re going to do for the day when I hear something over by the window. I thought it was something outside at first but when it registered that it was inside I started to freak out a little. So I take a closer look and notice that a bunch of bees are flying around both inside and outside of the window. How they got in I still don’t know… but I yell for my husband and look in our cabinet for some bug spray. I thought I had bee spray since I had this problem before at another apartment, but I can’t find any. So I have to use normal bug spray and I’m afraid it won’t work and they will just get mad and fly back at me! But I spray and spray and then he hands me a shoe so I can squish them as they fall… yes thanks for all the help dear handing me one of my good shoes so I can get bug spray and bee guts all over it… haha… so anyway… Did I mention I’m allergic to bees?? so I call the office and I knew it would ring so much it gets transfered to the central office because they NEVER answer the damn phone, and half the time they’re not even in the office to answer the phone… so I talk to central office dispatching and at first he really didn’t get that they were inside because at one point he sounded surprised, “Oh, they’re in the bedroom? They’re inside?” Yes Jackass thats what I’m freaking out about, they’re inside! I only mentioned that I couldn’t even go outside because there was a swarm of them on our porch so I couldn’t go to the office to tell them about it so I’m calling you. argg. So I tell him when he calls maintenance to stress I need someone immediately because I’m allergic to bees.  So we’re waiting and waiting for someone to come and an hour goes by… I call back. “yes Miss, he did get ahold of the office and they are aware of the problem. I”m sorry theres nothing else I can really tell you except try to call the office to see where you are on their list.” I tried calling but they never answer their phone! “I’m sorry about that, would you like their voicemail?” sure! I’ll just leave a message so they Don’t call me back. Yeah all day and nothing. He even said he filed it as an emergency. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. I hate these apartment people! they’re worthless!!

So the only pic I have of this whole ordeal is the dead bee I left on the windowsill… yeah kinda gross but while I was afraid for my life from them flying around I wasn’t thinking ‘hm I should take a picture to blog about this’ haha. and it was the only event worth talking about today since this ruined the plans, so I had nothing else haha.
