Triple Play

Ugh...it's been a long time since I wrote anything. Well, it's been hard times all around and around here hasn't been any exception. However, as of late there have been some definite bright spots in my life. Three very amazing things have happened in the past month.

1. I got married! Nothing big or huge. We went down to the courthouse one Friday morning with the pumpkin and our parents in tow. Still, it was absolutely amazing to stare into his eyes and listen to him promise to be my husband. Also the magistrate who married was very nice and had my daughter sign the marriage certificate as well to make it "official".

We'd still like to have some sort of big to-do with a ring exchange and all. However, it was important we get married quickly to get me on his insurance because....


2. I'm pregnant. All I can say is that this was quite surprise considering how careful we've been, but its a welcome surprise. The pumpkin is thrilled. Her only request is that that baby isn't allowed in her room and can't touch her stuff. My husband (so excited I can use that term) is thrilled as well and likes to rub my not yet baby bump and say "baby".

3. We're buying a house. Right now 1 & 2 kinda suck because I'm still living at the cottage and he's still living with his parents. There isn't enough room for him to move in let alone for us to have a baby here. But we were saving up for a house anyway and the recent downturn in the housing market has really come out in our favor. We're still looking right now, but I have the feeling we'll find something before summer.

Randomnosity!

• My brother let me play a death knight on his account in WoW. I feel like an addict whose been given a shitload of their drug of choice. I kid you not, 20 minutes later and I'm shaking with withdrawal.
• Can I say that this makes me so fucking happy! Stupid dolls.
• Damn it all! Will Congress get over it already and just give the Chrysler and GM a bailout. Yes, we know--you fucked up with financial industry bailout. Not giving one to them is just going to fuck over more people. Maybe if you hadn't fucked up with the banks, the banks could be giving them loans right now instead of you.
• And on something slightly tangential--will everyone stop saying "The Big Three". In case anyone noticed, Ford has stepped out of this whole mess.
• What the hell is going on Canada?
• My house is clean. Very very clean and ready to decorate for Christmas.
• Viva la Revolucion
• Yes, I've been wasting a lot of time lately. I haven't been writing as much as I should. I haven't been working as much as I could. But I've devoted myself to my studies and they are going well. Baby steps mind you, but I think I'm at least standing now.
• Honestly, life is good right now. I count my blessings and thank the Goddess!

My Personal Blog

Well, I've been playing around with blogger for a bit now and really like it. Mostly, I like the fact that I can have more than one blog all in one account. I've already set up my summer project blog--Life at the Enchanted Cottage and the blog for my novel, Dusk of Innocence. I figured I might as well round it out and add my personal blog here too. I'm just setting things up right now. Once I've got everything set up the way I want it, I'll probably go about "announcing" my new home at all the sites I frequent.

So, yeah, this is my personal blog. It will be where I post the latest news from my own life, my rants and raves, and the occasional random nonsense.
