I love it when my day is capped off by stepping in a huge steamy pile of Custer shit.

Can you believe its been 10 years since I bought my Pontiac Vibe!? I got it in April 2003. My goal was to keep it for 10 years or 200,000 miles. Well 10 years has rolled around and I'm at 155,000 miles. The car is still in fine shape, and I'm in no position to take on car payments again, so the plan is to re-evaluate at 200,000 miles. This is just as well because there really isn't anything on the market right now that really wins me over - at least, nothing in our price range!

I have updated my colors photo project with a new PINK image. Spring is beautiful around here. The subject this time is a Jane Magnolia Tree near our house.

I know I’ve been quiet over here. Frankly, its because there hasn’t been too much “good” to report. I’m normally not one to air my dirty laundry but this is getting downright ridiculous. I swear some hex has been cast over us.
Since I have been pregnant four of my close girlfriends have also gotten pregnant. Great, right!? One would think. But no. Each of their pregnancies has ended in miscarriage anywhere between 7 and 12 weeks. Really!? What are the odds?
The statistic is that 1 in 5 pregnancies will end in miscarriage. However, the tides are turned for this small sample size. In this case only 1 in 5 pregnancies is sticking! I don’t know if it is that we are all on the “older” side (all 30+), or if there is something in the water, or if I am just plain bad luck. Either way it seriously makes me lose faith in the institution of human reproduction! In the same breath, their losses make me realize just how crazy fortunate Mike and I are that our pregnancy is healthy.
In addition to my friends’ losses, we have a loss of our own in the form of employment. Mike’s airline is going through bankruptcy and is, quite literally, THE worst regional airline in the industry. Seeing the writing on the wall he made his exit in the form of a (temporarily) paid leave of absence with the mindset that he’d find a better job. The job hunt started in October and we are still coming up short. The hiring in this region has been stymied by uncertain budgets and the looming federal government sequester. Pretty soon our 2 pennies are going to be rubbed so tightly they will make sparks.
