So, I’ve gotten some good news from the doctor- my blood tests are looking better each time. The doctor even said, he’s reassured that things will work out just fine. Although I am on cloud nine right now, I’m always a little scared that the other shoe will drop. At any rate, I will [...]

Ok, I’m being completely honest here. And since I have like, 12 readers, the threat isn’t too great that this will get around.

Around the House

So, I’m redecorating a little around the house. Right before my son was born, I decided I want brown walls- chocolate brown. The walls perfectly matched my brown leather sofas!
