Random Ramblings of late

Funny I have lots to say but no way to truly communicate it I'll do my best here. No clue if it will help.

• We start a new adventure next week, IVF. The baby stuff has been weighing on my mind for a while now. The other stuff we are doing just didn't work for us. I'm truly hoping that this will do the trick. I picked up most of the drugs on Tuesday afternoon while on my lunch break and then had a minor breakdown over the stress of all this on the way back to the office.
• One of cousins told me that she is pregnant. Great, that's news that I wanted to hear (I'm being sarcastic). But she is also a proud new auntie to a really cute little guy. So I'm guessing that somewhere it all balances out.
• My scarf is continuing to grow. It's currently 21" long... hey that's how long I was when I was born.
• Pool party on Saturday for us at Lee's coworker's house. I can't wait for it to happen. I need some space out time and relaxation time. I might get it there.
• I finished the 7th Harry Potter book Sunday night right before I went to bed. It was good. Lee's reading it now.
• I worked on the new kitchen table over the weekend. It looks great. Might need another layer or two of poly but that's easily done.

Guessing that I'm done rambling through this post.. Thanks for listening.

We're Just Wild about Harry

The newest and last Harry Potter book is here and we have a copy.. It arrived at approximately 8:30am and I've been reading just about since it arrived. Last night we went to Hogwarts Square to celebrate... it was kind of fun watching the crowds.. We did attend one party at one store.. we got some sweets from Honeyduke's and made Wands at Ollivanders before leaving to go home. We also saw a small part of a concert (line up included Harry and the Potters along with Draco and the Malfoys). The warmup band wasn't very good though..

Other things that we've been up to.. well a couple of weeks ago our GLASS kitchen table fell apart (the legs broke). Luckily I caught the glass before it hit anything and broke too. Lee tried to fix the table but it was not repairable at all. So I got to finally buy the table that I've been keeping my eye on for years now.. I finally got a chance to put it together and start staining it today.. Tomorrow I'll finish the poly job and then move it inside to the kitchen.. next project (once I either have the money or my mom buys them for me) is to get a couple of chairs and possibly stain them too.

More news of the scarf and other assorted ramblings

sorryt if I'm boring anyone with this but I am loving Knitting.. and after another setback with the scarf I'm proud to say that I'm figuring things out and now have at least 14 inches on my scarf... only 30 more to go.. then the last 4 rows of just the knit stitch and I can think about other projects.

Other news in my (our) life... not much to report.. I love grilling out on the back porch and so far have been doing that alot.. enough that Lee bought me a book on grilling. I have a feeling that I am getting grilling tools for my upcoming Birthday. Hmmmm will be interesting if that happens.

Far as I know Nana is holding her own... I mean someone would hopefully call me if there was news to share. Though I did hear that her circulatory system is shutting down.. which isn't good news.. I may need to make a few calls if I don't hear anything soon.

I've been reading up a storm lately in anticipation of the newest Harry Potter book coming out. I can't wait. Currently reading a good book that I just got yesterday (I know I know, but I can't go very long without having something to read) called Table for Five and is written by Susan Wiggs. I have read about 3 of her other books and am eagerly awaiting a third book in a series that she is writing. She's really good.

Guess that's it for now..
