What did we do this weekend. Let me see if I can remember...
Friday night I watched Ghost Adventures, and I actually stayed awake the whole time. (That's quite an accomplishment)
Saturday we went shopping. We got some food at Sams club. Vallerie LOVES canned chicken. She will stuff her mouth full of it. We have to tell her to slow down.
We went to Target and returned the little pink boots we bought. We decided that they were too hard to get on, so instead of getting a bigger size we found some awesome tennis shoes. They are super cool!! As we were looking around the clothes, I came around to our cart and saw that a onesie was put in it, so I picked it up and looked at it, well, it turns out it wasn't our cart... Some lady put it in her cart and I was there just taking it out... I was so embarrassed.
We went to Michael's to get some yarn, for my sister's replacement scarf, and a Happy New Year stamp. They did not have the stamp. I may have to get one online.
We were going to take a look at computers, but Vallerie was a little fussy, so we decided to come home.
Sunday was a lazy day. Eddie slept most of the day because he didn't sleep well Saturday night, so me and Vallerie hung out. She was pretty good.
I made dinner! I was very proud of myself. I made Kielbasa, mashed potatoes, and baked Mac and Cheese. No, it wasn't terribly difficult, but I did manage to get them all finished at the same time. Eddie said it was good, and Vallerie ate some, so I know it wasn't horrible.
I watched some new episodes of "Drop Dead Diva" on Netflix. I only have 3 more to go before the season is over. I think I will go back to Damages after that.
I found out how much my bonus was! Let's just say it is enough to get a computer. So, we are going to look for one this weekend. Once we know what we want we can look for deals. I am rather excited. I have some cricut software that I haven't been able to use because my comp is not where my cricut is, so now I will be able to use it. Whoo Hoo!

Friday!
Last night after work I watched the season finale of Project Runway. I was happy with the winner. After that there was a new show called Project Accessory. It was pretty good, but all it really did was make me want to make jewelry... sigh.
I finished up "The Riches" on Netflix, turns out I only had 1 episode left to watch. I am kind of sad they didn't continue the series.
Not sure what we are doing this weekend. I would like to do something with Vallerie in her Halloween costume, but I don't know what there is to do. Maybe Monday we will go to the mall to trick or treat. If we did we would take her cousin, so it wasn't weird. I mean a 1.5yr old can't really eat the candy, so we would need a kid who was older to go too.
I think I see how much my bonus is this year today. Kind of excited, but I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. I am wishing for enough to buy a new computer. Eddie and I would like a laptop so we can move it into different rooms, then we could also try and fix our tower computer so we would each have one.
Lots to do today. Better go for now.

Thursday, but I thought it was Friday
I woke up today and thought it was Friday. Oh well. What's one more day.
Yesterday I worked until 9pm, so not much happened. I watched a couple episodes of "The Riches" on Netflix. Eddie and I used to watch it together when it was on cable tv, but we stopped watching the 2nd (and last) season. I decided to finish it up myself. I still have 4 episodes or so to go, so that should keep me entertained for a while.
A co-worker of mine asked me to make her a scarf. So I have been making samples of all the stitches I know. So far there are 6. Once she picks one I will start on it. I still have to do my sisters too, so I will have to be on a knitting spree.
I also have to finish the cards that my mom wanted for Christmas gifts. I only have a few more to do, so it shouldn't be hard. I am a little concerned as to how I will mail them to her since regular mail and Fed Ex have disappointed me lately.
I think there are critters in the wall. For the last couple days I have been in my upstairs office and have heard, what appears to be squirrels, in the outside wall. It's kinda driving me bonkers. Dalmo isn't too happy about it either.
Working late again tonight, so I'm sure there will be no exciting things happening. Although, we did get a new Netflix movie in the mail. "Paul" It's about an alien... supposed to be funny. We shall see.

Wednesday Sigh
My mom left for home yesterday morning, so I was sad all day.
Then I found out that the birthday presents I mailed to my sister were presumably stolen from the front door of her apartment. So that's depressing. I am going to make her a new scarf though.
Had a ton of work to do yesterday, which was nice. I had to take some of it home with me so I could finish it. I don't mind at all really, it will be fun, as long as I don't lose anything.
I brought home the computer desk from work during lunch yesterday and set up my room when I got home. It's better. I think I still need a craft table though. The 2 I have are drastically different in terms of height. It would be nice to have one long table instead of the 2. Other that that, the room looks good. It's a little cramped, but I just have so many good things.
I started reading a new book. It's weird. It's called "My Sweet Audrina" by VC Andrews. I will probably finish it fairly quickly.
Vallerie said thank you to me today. I handed her a piece of her sandwich and she said "ay coo". Normally she will say it after we say it to her, but this time she did it on her own. She also did a good job of feeding herself this morning with a spoon. It wasn't anywhere near perfect, but several of the bites actually made it to her mouth. Very proud of my little girl.
That's about all for now.

Monday...
I realize I haven't blogged in a week.
My mom is here (YAY) and she has kept me fairly busy. We went shopping a couple times. We went out to eat, and just hung at the house.
It's been really great having her here. I wish we lived closer so I could see her more.
We got Vallerie's Halloween costume. She is going to be a bee. We're probably going to put her in the costume today.
My mom leaves tomorrow and I am sad. I don't want her to go, but she has to.
That's about all for now. I could go into detail about what we did all week, but I think my mom is the only one who reads this, so it is probably pointless...

Tuesday Tired
Yesterday after work I finished some laundry and did the dishes. There weren't too many, so it didn't take long.
After Vallerie went to bed, I watched a little of "Damages" on Netflix. I ended up falling asleep on the couch. Eddie woke me up around 10 and then I went in the bedroom and watched tv for a little while before falling asleep again.
I have no clue why I am so tired today, I slept a lot yesterday. Oh well. I will wake up soon enough.
I have a doc appt this afternoon. Just a shot, so it will be quick. Then I think we are going to get a few groceries for when my mom visits. She will (probably) be here tomorrow! YAY!
That's about all there is for now. Maybe something interesting will happen today. I doubt it.
11:22AM
This may not be "interesting", but the office did some updating to one of our meeting rooms, and they have a computer table that they are giving me. I don't know if it will fit in my car though! If not, I don't know how I am going to get it home. Maybe I will see if Eddie wants to make a trip to the office tonight to check it out.

Weekend stuff
Friday after work we hung out at home. Eddie and I watched "Just Go With It". It was pretty good, but very predictable.
Saturday we went out to try and find a Halloween costume for Vallerie. Still no luck. We didn't see anything that said "buy me" so we didn't buy anything. Then we went to Kroger and got some groceries. We had chili for dinner and it was really good.
I watched the last 3 episodes of True Blood. Eddie only watched one. He was tired. I was disappointed. I thought there would be a bigger cliffhanger at the end.
Sunday I started tidying the house for my moms visit. It didn't take too long. I still have to do a couple more things, but they won't take long either.
I finished another scarf, and started a new one. The new one is for Eddie. I'm not sure who the other one is for.
I started a new show on Netflix. "Damages" it's pretty good. I'm about 4 episodes in. I think there are only 3 seasons.
Not much else to say. Nothing is really going on... oh well.

Friday Yay
Yesterday after work I watched some tv. Our Netflix wasn't working, (and still isn't working today) I was going to try and watch a new show. Oh well.
I did a little knitting on my sisters scarf. It's a little over 1/2 way done. I hope to have it finished before next Tuesday. That's when I plan on mailing her presents.
I bought 4 books online. I hope they come soon!
Vallerie got scared of a spider. She saw it on the wall and freaked out. I wasn't there, but Eddie told me about it. She's been getting scared of a lot of things lately. I hope it's just a phase.
Working in the office today, and I have a lot to do.
Not sure what our weekend plans are. I have to work tomorrow. I think we might go out and look for Vallerie's Halloween costume again. We were thinking of a bunny, but if we cant find that or something cuter I am going to make her a costume. I got the idea from a co-worker who saw it online. The one online is a Koala stuffed animal that is "biting" the shoulder on the kid. Here's a pic from the instructibles website. (I cropped out the kid)
and the link: http://www.instructables.com/id/Vicious-Koala-Attack-Child-Costume/
If I make it, it probably won't be a koala, but it will be similar. I think it would be funny!

Thursday
Yesterday I worked until 9pm so it was a little boring after work.
During my lunch break I cleaned the kitchen a bit. (exciting)
Then a little while later I brought Vallerie a stuffed animal from upstairs. It's a Scrooge McDuck, and it was Eddie's. Well, there is something about it that Vallerie doesn't like because she won't go near it. I think she might be scared of it.
Then I tried to give her a little giraffe stuffed animal. She didn't like that one either, but this time she would take it, and then immediately throw it (with force) on the ground. Oh well, I tried!
Watched the last episodes of Desperate Housewives on Netflix last night. Now I have to find another show. That should be fun. I hope I can find one quick.
Went to bed after that...
Nothing exciting has happened today so far.

Wednesday
Yesterday after work I got some pizza. It was a surprise for Eddie. I am not good at surprises, so I'm happy I got to do a little something nice for him without him guessing what it was.
Unfortunately, his pizza was not good. He said it wasn't cooked enough, and it was worse reheated. Mine was good though.
I started my sisters scarf. I took it apart about 4 times because it wasn't doing what I wanted it to do, but I think I have it now. Hopefully I can get it done by Friday. I wanted to mail it with her other presents.
I watched a few episodes of Desperate Housewives. I only have a few more left until I am done with season 7. That's all that's on Netflix now, so I will have to find another show. I got some good suggestions from friends on Facebook.
Vallerie has 2 1/2 teeth they are so cute. They are all on one side, so that makes it even cuter. She's starting to bite and pull.
She gave me 2 kisses today. One on the forehead and the other on the nose. It was awesome. I love how she is getting more affectionate. Her little hugs and kisses are the best thing in the world.
She's getting a little more picky in what she eats. We're running out of ideas for quick food. We tried cottage cheese. I'm not sure she likes it. I put some applesauce in with it once. I think she liked that better. She does like jello with fruit. Probably not the most healthy snack, but whatever. She likes it.
Can't wait for my mom to visit. Hopefully she will never want to leave. Ever... lol

Tuesday Tuesday
9 AM
Yesterday after work we went over to my gpas just to say hi. We didn't stay long.
Vallerie got scared again. I think because of all the creepy old looking Halloween mannequins she thought my gpa was one. So she cried for a little while, then she ended up playing in the leaves on his porch.
We went to Walmart to finish getting my sisters birthday presents. I got some more yarn to make her a scarf.
I started a new scarf last night, but after getting about 6in down, I decided I didn't like it, so I took it apart. I think I will use some other yarn for it this time. I don't know what stitch I am going to use though. I have like 4 that I can do, but I don't know which would look best with the yarn.
Watched some Desperate Housewives on netflix and went to bed late. I wanted to get to bed earlier than normal (12AM) but I didn't. Oh well, I'm not too tired today. I'm drinking a coffee energy drink, so I will be amped up for most of the day.

Fussy Baby Weekend
Friday after work we went into town to get some groceries at Sams Club. Vallerie did not cooperate. She was fussy the whole time. We also went to Walmart (where she was fussy). Eddie made a delicious dinner. Steak and asparagus. It was awesome.
Saturday Vallerie and I went into town to get my sister's birthday presents. She did not want to cooperate. She did pretty good at Mejier. When we went to Target she got fussy and I gave her some chocolate milk (which she managed to spill in the cart, not on the stuff though) and a nutrigrain bar.
That calmed her for about 15 minutes.
We then went to Once Upon a Child to get her some pants and long sleeved shirts. She was not happy there either. She spilled her bottle on most of the clothes in the cart (only a little dribble on everything) but she was fussy the whole time so I had to hurry. Not to mention the place was jam packed and it's really cramped in there anyway. We did get her some good stuff, and I didn't spend very much.
Sunday we went into town again (busy weekend!) and saw Eddie's mom and Aunt. Vallerie was fussy (seeing a pattern??) His mom got a little pumpkin scarecrow flashlight that when you turn it on the mouth opens up and that's where the light comes out of. Well, Eddie did that, and Vallerie freaked out. He scared her SO bad. She couldn't even look at it without crying after that. I really don't know what was so scary about it.
After that we decided to go see if we could find her a Halloween costume. (No gnome this year) We went to 2 places. (She was unhappy at both) The 2nd place we went to was a Halloween store. They had this creepy mannequin at the door that said hello (or something) in a creepy voice. Vallerie got scared at that and started to cry.
As we were walking around (finding nothing that was cute) we saw gorilla masks. Eddie said I should put one on and try to scare Vallerie (because I guess she wasn't traumatized enough for the day) so I did. She saw me put it on, and then I tiptoed to her and said "boo" She freaked out again. I felt bad. Eddie was laughing.
We did buy her a pacifier with a pumpkin on it. We were looking for Billy Bob teeth pacifiers, but they didn't have any.
As we were walking out of the store, the mannequin that scared her on the way in, also scared her on the way out.
We got some McDonald's and then went home. Vallerie ate pretty good. After she was in bed I knitted and Eddie played his game.
Over the weekend I tried out a new knitting stitch on my knifty knitter. It's pretty cool. I am almost done with the scarf I started. I have about 10 more to make before Christmas. I hope I can get them all done. My fingers kind of hurt though. Maybe I need to be gentler. I don't know.
Also, I am scared to go out the back door. There is a giant freaking praying mantis that keeps terrorizing me! The other day I saw it, and it was just a little thing, so not so bad. Then about 2 days ago I was smoking on the porch, and it jumped on me! This time it had about tripled in size it was huge!! So I freaked out. I came inside and it was inside where the sliding door closes. I couldn't squish it (I think it's illegal) so I had to use the broom to try and sweep it out. It made these weird noises and finally I got it outside again.
Well, it stayed on the outside wall for a day so I didn't go out that door. Then yesterday it was on the outdoor broom handle, so I thought that was ok. When I went outside (in the daylight) I made sure to stare at it the whole time I was outside, just in case it decided to get any funny ideas and jump on me again.
Then by about 3pm it wasn't on the broom handle anymore, so now I won't go out that door until I see where it is, or don't see it at all for a few days. It's just so creepy. I know it's thinking "I'm going to get you hahaha"

Thursday and Friday
Wednesday (I forgot to blog) I started knitting a scarf using the knitting pattern I found online. It's turning out really cool.
That's about all I did besides work.
Thursday night after work I knitted a bit and played some of my video game. Then Eddie and I watched Thor. Well, I watched it, and Eddie fell asleep. It was a pretty good movie.
Today is payday! I think we're gonna do some grocery shopping. I also have to buy my sisters birthday presents. Depending on how much money we have I might buy some yarn. We might also go and start buying Vallerie's Halloween outfit. We'll probably go to the resale store to do that.
I have to work tomorrow. Hopefully I go to bed early tonight. Lately it's been midnight or later before I go to bed. Not so good when Vallerie wakes up at 6 every day.

Need a Whiskey Wednesday
4:37 PM
Today has been busy, which is actually a nice change. As soon as I came into work I had a ton of things to do.
Last night after work I played some more of my video game. I stayed up until about midnight. It was fun.
Vallerie has a new-ish thing she is doing. She has this foam mat with letters and numbers that pop out. She likes to take the square pieces (with the letter/number out) and put it over her head. So she is essentially wearing a foam square "necklace". It's so funny. Sometimes I really don't know how she gets certain letters/numbers on her head. Like the letter Z... it's not very big how does she do it??
I made a box out of 6 of the foam squares yesterday, I thought it would be fun for Vallerie, but all she did was put it on her head, and then she was in the middle of the box with her head and feet out... It was really cute. Eddie got some pictures.
Started making Christmas lists yesterday. Trying to think of things to buy Vallerie and Eddie is hard. I am covered. I told Eddie to think of things now rather than wait until 2 weeks before Christmas.
My mom is coming to visit (YAY!) I may have mentioned that already. I am excited. I really miss her. Maybe she can help think of things for Vallerie. She has a ton of toys already.
Might try and get Valerie's Halloween costume this weekend. I want her to be a gnome. I don't really like the premade gnome costumes, so I thought I would see if I could find some cute overalls and a cute little shirt to go with it. I was hoping to have a co-workers wife crochet me a gnome hat. I want to get the clothes first though, that way if it doesn't work I'm not stuck with a gnome hat. Although, it would be fun to see peoples reactions if we went out with it on Valleries head...
Still need to make my mom a Birthday card. It needs to be fantastic, so I am going to plan it out before hand.

Tuesday the 4th
Yesterday after work Vallerie and I did some dishes, then we had fettuccine Alfredo for dinner. Eddie didn't really like the sauce, and Vallerie had more fun throwing it around the room than actually eating any of it. I thought it was ok.
After that I went upstairs and finished my 12 "love always" cards. I was going to make more, but came to a road block, so I played a video game instead. I played longer than I wanted and ended up going to bed around 12am.
I can't believe it's October already! September went by way too fast. Vallerie's 1yr 3mo check up is next week. I'm excited to see how much she weighs now.
That's about all I know. Need to think of a great card for my moms birthday. I have another plan, but I'm not going to say what it is... hehe.

Another Weekend Gone Too Fast
It's Monday. Again. Sigh
Saturday we went to eat at Arni's Pizza with my sister and Grandpa. It was pretty good. Vallerie had a little meltdown, but was ok after the food came. We ate a little late, so it was around her nap time.
I did something out of the ordinary. I had a salad, and I actually put salad dressing on it! AND ate it! It was Herb Vinaigrette. Not too bad. I am still undecided though. It's probably something I will have to be in the mood for.
After we ate, Eddie went home with Vallerie and put her to nap, and I went to my gpas and hung out for a couple hours with my sister. We had some cake and ice cream, and my gpa told us some of his war stories.
Sunday was a lazy day. Eddie got a whole day off and spent the day in bed (lucky him) Vallerie wasn't too bad. She has learned how to get on top of the coffee table, which isn't good. She will press the power button on the PlayStation repeatedly. She really doesn't like to be taken off of the table.
My cat has been annoying me lately. He will go into the living room and then when Vallerie comes over to try and pet/hit/stomp on him he will just lay there and hiss and yowl. It's like.. Hello?! You can leave the room you know. I'm just scared he's going to bite her again. That really ticked me off. (She's fine now by the way)
Today will probably go slow, just because it's Monday. Got my heater on. It's cold!
