bye, bye dear friend

sunday. belly ache.

monday. bad belly ache.

tuesday. suspected stomach bug. forgot about belly ache. (this is when my appendix perforated, ahhhhhhh).

wednesday. BAD belly/pelvic ache.

thursday. pregnancy test. negative. ultra sound. suspect. emergency room. blood work. c-scan. appendicitis. perforated. surgery.

friday. hospital.

saturday. discharged from hospital.

yep. we bid my perforated appendix adieu thursday night at the park city medical center. the little bastard decided to jump ship early. loser. everything's good, though. so far, no infection and the pain goes down every day. luckily they were able to do it with the laser (laperoscopy sp?), so that helps make for a more speedy recovery.

other than that, i just can't lift anything over 8 pounds for the next two weeks. no problem. not like i have a kids or anything. jeesh. things are going to get creative around here.

adios.

jessi

the house, part deux

and the pictures continue.

of the first floor.

laundry room & pantry.

patio & storage shed.

powder room.

kitchen

kitchen. with a special shot of the "take out window," as my brothers call it.

storage closet/crawl space access/skylar's toy room.

family/dining room.

so it's done. we're in. most of our stuff is unpacked, organized, hung up, etc. we still need to purchase a few more things, but other than that it feels like home...which is good.

and just to clarify:

i'm NOT pregnant. after the post of the upstairs, and my label of our spare bedroom as "future baby room," i've had several people call and ask if i was pregnant. no. no. NO. at some point in time, though, i will have a second child. when i do, it will live in the spare/computer room.

i love her...

so, so much.

sneak peek

so two weeks before we moved my car got broken into and our camera (among other things) got stolen. we finally got a replacement and so here are some pictures of our new digs. not interesting to most--except our friends who live far, far away (you know who you are):

the upstairs:

skylar's room

the spare room/computer room/future baby's room

el bano

our room (it's so clean)

we're pretty much unpacked and put away...except for random stacks and piles of stuff. procrastination is a great thing. we're just stoked to have our own home to grow into (tmadfmtp).

more pictures to come. or, you could just come and visit.

xoxo

progress

we lost our camera so unfortunately i have no 'before' pictures. but, we're down to subfloor in every room but the family room. first new tile. then fresh paint. then professionally cleaned blinds. then new carpet. and on the wish list will be some saint to come and rip out my shower (one of those 'all in one' plastic ones) and tile it. for free. or sexual favors. or cookies. at this point, if it doesn't cost me anything above and beyond supplies, i'll do whatever, and i mean whatever it takes.

we'll definitely have after pictures. and maybe a party.

nothing else new to report. matt will be starting work at deer valley this december, so he'll only have a hellish commute (to REI) for a couple months. and me, i'm still tutoring stoned out adolescents in park city. it's a rewarding and fulfilling job.

well, i guess that's it. off to pack up more boxes. bleck.

toodles.

xoxo

p.s. and if anyone would like to rent a teething, irritable, moderately unpleasant baby, i'll be posting specs later. if she's still alive. kidding. sort of.

hold, please

life is crazy.

we bought a town house in midway.

there's poop in the carpet.

there are germs everywhere.

there's mouse poop in my cupboards.

we're doing an overhaul.

we will move in september 1.

we lost our camera so i have no pictures.

we'll post more after august...aka: month of insane home repairs' is over.

xoxo
