Today's trifecta

It's nice living on a river. Pebbles. Dear Lord.*
*I haven't left my house in a couple days. I can't bear to. I honestly can't handle another comment from another person. I used to not care about other people until the pregnancy-size comments started. Ugh, it's the worst. And to top it off, I'm still pregnant! I hate to be so negative about what's supposed to be a wonderful situation. One that I tried for and wanted so badly. I'm just running out of steam...

*I was going to keep my mouth shut for a little longer, I'm only 9 weeks, but I'm already getting round. Let's pray that things stay healthy and I wasn't dumb for saying something early. Also, I wanted to note that for some getting pregnant is easy, but for some, it's a real struggle. I want to remember my friends for whom it isn't as easy...

I'm back from Florida. The mister and I had a wonderful time visiting family, relaxing and exploring. To be honest, my cell phone spent most of it's time tucked away in my purse, but I did take it out a few times.

It snowed (and iced!) while we were gone and you know you're a New England girl when you're sitting in sunny Florida wishing you were home to experience it...

Hope you're all well.

Today's trifecta

A skunk sprayed our house in the middle of the night - I can't tell you how strong it was. I hemmed my jeans keeping the original bottom and converted them from bell-bottoms to straight legs (I made a couple mistakes, but not bad for my first time!). Maybe I can smoke out the remaining smell...
