Has it really been nearly a month???

Goodness gracious, I can't believe it. It's literally been nearly a month since I last posted. Sorry to those of you who actually read my blog. So many things have happened, so many that it would probably take about a gazillion posts to explain it all. So I'll just skim the surface.

Our house is just about done. We're ready to start putting the interior walls in. We've got all the insulation we need, that's exciting. Chance seems to think that we'll be done in a couple of months. That's even more exciting. {actually it makes me giddy to think about it.} I'm more ready than you can possible imagine to cook in my own kitchen, to do laundry in my own washer, to sleep in my own room, to be able to sit on my couch, in my living room. I could go on for days, but I won't.

I've been having some unexplained health issues lately. The "ever-capable" doctors of our town have no idea what's going on. I've had 4 full blood work panels, an ultrasound on my gallbladder, and a HIDA scan. Next on the agenda are a 2-d echo, and a stress test. I'll let you know the results as soon as we figure out what the heck is going on.

As you may or may not have seen in my last post; I'm a complete Twilight nerd now. I've read all the books, including the first 12 chapters of Midnight Sun {posted here.} I was so addicted that I read all four books in four days. I'm actually re-reading them because I went through them so quickly the first time that they all kind of blurred together. I'm on my second round with New Moon as we speak. I bought the movie on Blu-ray, and I think I've watched it at least 50 times. I'm not exaggerating. And I can't seem to take the soundtrack out of my car stereo to save my life. I'm not entirely positive that I can wait until November. To all of you women out there who I criticized for your love of the books, I owe you one heck of an apology.

I bought this fabulous pillow from an even more fabulous woman. I love it. I can't wait to see it in the house! Isn't it perfect??

My best friend graduated in May from WKU. We're so proud of her.

My little sister also graduated in May from high school. I'm so excited for her that it's probably unhealthy.

Chance is still un-employed, and it's starting to get to me. He's trying very hard, I know, but it's just so frustrating.

Pigs...

I've always thought that pigs were a perfectly pleasant creature. Yes they roll around in their own filth. Yes they eat something called "slop" {just saying the word makes my stomach turn.} But for whatever reason I've always thought they were "cute." Charlotte's Web was one of my favorite books as a child; Wilbur stole my heart. Only God knows how many times I've read it.

So it breaks my heart to relate this sweet, swine face:

To this not so sweet, bio-hazard.

To be perfectly honest the whole idea of this swine flu thing makes my skin crawl. I think I've used more anti-bacterial gel in the past week than most people use in a month and I think if I wash my hands much more my skin is going to fall off. I never thought I'd say this but I'm really glad that Chance and I don't have kids right now {I know, I can't believe I said that either.} But honestly, I think if we had a little one right now I would be in hysterics, trying to build one of those bubble things. And somehow I just don't think the Lowe's on Clarks River Road carries those. So for now I'll just continue to wash, sanitze, and repeat like a crazy person.

True Friendship...

... is my best friend.

I'm counting down the days until she gets home!

Wooo-Hooo!

I couldn't be more excited.

This morning I booked this cutie for 1 week.

You heard me right- ONE WHOLE WEEK.

I'm vacationing with 3 girlfriends.

July 12-19, 2009 -- I will be unreachable.

I'm LOVIN' it!!!

The BIG day!

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. I always love it when I get it cut and then after about a month or two, I want to grow it back out, a month or two later- I'm ready to chop it all off again. So today is the day. I'm getting a new 'do. Only this time I'm stepping a little out of my comfort zone. Not only am I getting a new cut, but I'm also getting it colored. I haven't haxd this done professionally much in my life, I usually just buy the box and do it myself. But this time I think I'm going to get a color and highlights and lowlights. I'm nervous. Wish me luck.

Hair Now:

I'll post pics of the after later!

Happy Fat Tuesday!
