so where have i been??

no where really. just trying to deal with life lately. flo left and came back a week later. at least this time she came when due and should be gone again soon. hopefully putting everything back to normal in that area. my uncles house is cleaned out for the most part and up for sale. this really breaks my heart since the house has been in the family since the 1950's. i am really sad to see it go. we still have not heard how much his stock and pension are worth and no check so far which is really starting to annoy me. my parents lawyer needs to earn his fee and soon. hubby and i are going to start trying for a baby again. if i am not prego by january i will see the doctor and move onto the next step.

last but not least hubby and i went to a party at a friends house saturday night. this was just the thing to brighten our moods. he was not sure he wanted to go and decided at the last minute yeah lets go. of course the easiest way to get there we can't use because the road is shut down because of an accident. so we took the long way and then didn't get home until almost 4 am. little by little i am getting to know his friends and i had such a blast hanging out with everyone. of course most of them had not heard we had gotten married so it was fun to suprise a few people. the ones who heard were very happy for us and it is great to see how happy his friends are for us. ( he is the last of the group to get married) hopefully this winter we can have everyone at our house for a party and we can rock out our basement. (he and his friends were in a band when younger)

boo hoo

the phillies lost. i am bummed. most optomistic quote heard on the morning news spring training is around 100 days away.lol maybe next year. other than that i have nothing but bad news lately. not pregnant and have had flo really really outstay her welcome. yes she is still around can't wait to get rid of her. lastly it is looking like we need to sell my uncles house. he has very little insurance and bills lined up and waiting to be paid. last hope is the balance of his pension. no idea how much that is and company will not tell us they will just send the money when they are ready. it is really frustrating but i know that things will get better eventually.

the phillies

go phillies !!!! last nights game was awesome. cliff lee is making me a beLEEver really fast. game 2 tonight woo hoo !!

the cat , the dog and the pop up crate

tigger loves the pop up crate, she hides inside, jumps on it and naps all the way in the back. winnie has gotten braver lately and has been going all the way in the crate. the other night i was cleaning up the dishes and i see winnie quickly backing out of the crate. i also notices tigger is being dragged out on her back. i am all ready to yell at winnie for being too rough with tigger when i realise that tigger's mouth is clamped on winnie's throat and her 2 front paws are on winnie's jaws. the cat who is 1/4 of winnie's size is beating her up. i am now laughing like crazy as tigger drops her hold on winnie and runs and hides. a little while later tigger is hiding next to the tv the other dog gracie comes out of the kitchen and tigger runs at her leaps up lands on her head and jumps off landing on the other side of gracie. poor gracie just freezes and tigger reaches up and swats at gracies nose. sometimes i think tigger thinks she is a dog and a bully as well.

happy and tired

right now i and the rest of the philadelphia area are exhausted and excited. THE PHILLIES are going to the world series for the second year in a row. for 10 years i had season tickets and they never even came close to going to the playoffs. my date for all of the years i had tickets was my dad. he decided that going to 14 games a year was not enough so since he retired he got a job as a phillies usher. he has worked almost evey home game for the last four years. last year he went to all of the playoff and world series games. now he gets to see the world series again this year. i am phillies red with envy. GO PHILLIES !!!!

the house

well if you live on the east coast you know what friday and saturday's weather was like. cold rainy mess. i drove to the shore in the rain friday and home saturday. not a fun drive that was for sure. we cleaned on friday until around 11 pm then got up saturday and cleaned until lunch. we poked through stuff in the attic and loaded up bag after bag of trash. all of my uncles clothing is now gone that freed up 4 dressers, 3 closets, 2 storage bins in the attic and 3 laundry baskets. we also were finally able to finally match up all the sheets in the house. now that they are sorted we can make beds without going through 20 sheets to find the ones that go together. the fridge and freezer are empty and there is little to no food left in the house. the next thing is the attic. for this we need a 30 yard dumpster and all the muscles we can recruit. hopefully when we go down again in november we can tackle the attic. even with everything we threw away we still managed to fill all three cars for the trip home. on a brighter note the phillies are up 3 games to 1 in the national league championship series. yeah!!!

UPDATE

well the clean out has begun. between bags of trash and stuff to sell we have barely made a dent in the work to be done at my uncles house. i am going down this weekend with my parents and brother for another session of cleaning and trash.

winnie and tigger are continuing their partnership in crime. winnie has gotten hold of one of my books and torn the cover and tigger decided to check out our dinner Sunday night hot out of the oven. tigger also has been draging around the bell on a string from one of her toys her favorite place to leave the bell is in the garbage disposal.

i am still late but the test i took was negative. if i am pregnant i will be really suprised. oh well we will find out in a few weeks. i think it is from stress since this has happened before during stressful times so we shall see. ( yes i have only taken one for now )

not much else is going on. hubby is happily reading wood burning forums and gleefully lighting a fire in the wood stove every night. i am sure by spring he will be ready for a break again but right now he is having a blast.
