Well then...here I am. All in one piece.

I am amazed that I haven't written my PSJ in nearly three months...I should send myself to my room. (Hopefully the baby will be asleep and DH won't be - what are the odds of that happening??) I've missed this, actually. Writing has always been very therapuetic for me, and since I am a visual person it really helps me to see my goals and accomplishments down in print.

Where to begin? Well, the Ukrainians went home after Thanksgiving,...

I'm surrounded by Ukrainians.

I'm not kidding.

And three of them don't speak English.

With the baby's big jar of applesauce (he goes through that stuff faster than diapers) I paid $3.49.

I got $20 of Aleve, a soda, and formula at CVS for $2 oop and $23.85 in ECBS. I'll...

This is an email I sent to DH about a minute ago. I am vascillating between being very angry and feeling stupid for not reviewing my insurance documents carefully. At least the policy is only 8 days old.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR at Progressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought our insurance premiums were a little high, but I figured it was because Mom's van was added on. I was getting the policy number to renew the tag on the Hyundai, and I noticed that they have a careless driving...
