Future Plans

Let me just say, I love doing ChaCha.  It's been so nice to have an extra $200 a month to spend on crafty stuff and things like new vacuums, and it gives me something to do while Cade's sleeping and Aaron's gone.  And I also get to learn that it's illegal to have an armadillo as a pet in Massachusetts (who knew).  If you're interested in doing it too, go here, I honestly think its great for stay-at-home moms.  You feel like you can contribute something, but if your baby needs you, well then, get off the computer and take care of him. 

This does have a point.  I got paid on Tuesday, so...

Cade and baby boy #2 (who's name will either be Jackson, Ethan, or Logan, we haven't decided) need a dresser.  I found a solid oak, 9 drawer dresser on craigslist for $99 and now I need to paint it.  So I'm off to Lowes tomorrow to buy lots of navy blue spray paint (neighbors, if the grass outside looks suspiciously darker, don't worry, it will grow out).  I'm also going to get stuff to do this for their room.

And I will learn to quilt. 

Apartment Hunting

Our time in Wymount is coming to an end.  Honestly, I have mixed feelings.  Mainly because finding a new place to live is such a pain.  I don't want to move pack, deal with weird neighbors, and other people's nastiness that they've left behind. 

I told Aaron I wish he was home more so that he could help look.  He told me:

"If I looked, we'd be in the cheapest apartment."

Point made. 

I'm picky.  I want a washer/dryer (at least the hookups), I don't want to be living with a bunch of college kids (because we won't be anymore), I don't want to live in the ghetto (ahem, south of campus), I want a yard, or at least a small patch of grass nearby, I want shelves that fit nicely into their compartments, I want a kitchen with counter space, a bathroom that I don't feel like I need to spray Lysol in every time, and I want to be able to walk around barefoot without feeling disgusted, all for around $650. 

Unfortunately, that's been hard to find. 

But, never fear, with craigslist, and ksl I will find a place.  Maybe even a place where I can paint the walls...
