*** speechless ***

I am speechless. Luckily not wordless though, so I can write this blog. We drove by our lot today to see what all has been done to the house since we last went over there (Sunday, a mere three days ago). Low and behold - POOF! There's a house. A house that's more than sticks. In just hasn't even been three whole weeks and they've already poured the foundation, roughed in the plumbing/electric/gas, framed the two story behemoth, have put up sheeting, have put siding, and now have all the windows in but one. If I blink between today and tomorrow, I may miss that they completely finish the house. At this rate, I might start sending out invitations for Sadie's birthday party to be held at the new house!

On a side note, green bell peppers stuffed with couscous, corn, and diced tomatoes for dinner - perfect!

Ying and yang

Too many things have been irking me lately.... so let's start to name a few.
- Not having access to a full sized computer for a week or two to get on the internet. Meaning to every site that I want that work does not block. Meaning not pocket sized and missing flash content because I'm trying to read it on my phone.
- Not doing a good job, let alone even a crappy job, of balancing time between work, family, Thomas, packing/moving, and myself. Yes, I come last. And sadly work has come first for the past week. Poor Sadie did not have a mom all week.
- Facebook not working properly on my iPhone. It works fine sometimes when I open it through the free app, but then other times nothing works and I have very limited views (like viewing only three entries max on the initial screen). Argh.
- Not being able to log in to Flickr because my SBC Global account is all jacked up because we moved.
- Slightly straying in my veganism, but still staying vegetarian. The occassional item while eating out has butter or cheese in it, but I won't die or go ballistic over it. But haven't asked for meat of any sort on any occassion.

Now for some good news of things that have been going some what well lately.
- Sadie is now 11 months old! 'Nuff said.
- I'm a year older. Damn birthdays. But not much to complain about because everyone tells me that they jokingly hate me... I'm still younger than them.
- Our new house is being built at lightning speeds! Just this week we have had the concrete foundation poured, framing put up, and roof framed out. Go! Go! Go! (chanting rhythmically in the background)
- Planning a few day trip to St. Louis to see the in-law family. Not many people have seen Sadie since she was born unless they have flown in to see us or live near us. Needless to say a visit is much overdue.


More later, but have much to do on the internet now that I do have a full size pc and a full screen!
