I was Confused about Diapers....
It is true. Today I went to work at the Stoners. (They are the family I assist and cook for = my nanny job) Well, they are in Oregon dropping off their oldest at boarding school, and so I was to let myself into the one door that was to be unlocked and guess what? It wasn't. Somehow when the cleaning crew came in today they locked the door behind them and so I was unable to do my three hours. I thought *in song* "It's a beautiful mor...ning...It's a beautiful day!" And decided to A) stop by the neighbors who were having a yard sale, and B) run errands. Well, as I have been blogging...the "glove is off" so to speak: Ean and I are trying to have a baby! Over the course of the last month we have been discussing items we still need to get before a baby arrives. You know the essentials....a house, a crib, diapers...etc.... Well, I am SOLD and I mean SOLD on bumgenius. Bumgenius is basically an all-in-one cloth diaper that works like a disposable. But instead of throwing them into the waste lands for years, you throw them into your washer and reuse!!!! YAY for going green, right? Ok, Well, I was having a problem with some of the websites and their explanations of how the bumgenius works. I NEED A VIDEO. Luckily Ean found one and I found this wonderful PDF file that this nice lady in England took time to write out word-for-word the A, B, C's of how to work these miracle poop collectors. After and hour or more of confusion I am 100% in the know and have ordered my 1st pair to get my hands on them.
As for the baby...well, quit rushing us...we're working on it! Oh, and PS -- it is God's timing not ours, DUH!!!
Until I chat again, Cheers!

Today is just the Beginning
I cannot wait. Today is just the beginning and I am excited to see where God takes us. We, Ean and I, are no longer using birth control! YEAH! We are going to try and have a baby. We would love a fall baby and well, who knows. We are going to just go about our daily lives and well maybe in the near future my life long dream of being a mommy will happen, Lord willing that is. Wish us luck! I will keep you'all posted!

Babies are in the Air
This is probably going to be one of many blogs in which I will write about babies. There are several of my friends who are having or are going to have babies and in a way I feel so excited for them. Ean and I do not yet have any babies of our own other than our dogs and cats....this is about to change. We are planning and hoping to be pragant by Christmas - YAY! I am thrilled because this is a very exciting season and I have wanted it to arrive for so many years. Right now we are just planning and preparing but in a couple months we are going to be trying and I think it will be a blast. More to come I am sure...

My Sweet Chloe
Sunday afternoon I went and got my sweet Chloe from my mom and dad's house. See my mom and dad just moved and couldn't take her with them so Ean and I are back to being her full time parents. At first I was a little worried because she took the adjustment hard but today when Aunt Annie came over to meet her she was just fine. Purring like crazy. YAY!
Her story all began when I had moved into apartment in the summer of 2000. I was a little lonely living by myself so I got a cat. Chloe! I went up to the animal shelter by my work and picked her out. I remembered bringing her home and letting her adjust to our place. She ran our home and would wait for me to get home every day from work. Well, it became too much for me to live alone and so I moved back home with my mom and dad and Chloe came with. My mom just fell in love with her and she kind of became my mom's cat. It worked out well because I was busy falling in love and planning and wedding and then after the wedding Ean and I moved into our first home and Chloe didn't come because she did not care for Ean's cats at the time. So she just stayed with mom and dad. They were happy to have her and took really good care of her. But I have to say....I am thrilled she is back!
Love you Chloe and welcome home!

Blogging-Gardening-and Such
I love blogging. Sometimes I don't know what to blog about and I sometimes I don't have my photos ready the way I want them to post so that you all can see my amazing life and how happy I am, but I love to blog. I guess blogging is not a science that has to be followed to a tee and quite frankly I am happy about that as well. I don't know I would even blog at all if I had to follow a set in stone type of rules. But I do feel like I lack discipline in my blogging and in my life.
For instance, I wish I could remember to do it every day, like a habit, but I don't. Just like in life I wish I would eat fruits everyday instead of starch like potatoes! YUM! I relate everything in my life to food...that is why when I saw Julie and Julia at the theater last week I was inspired to not only blog all the time but to continue eating and enjoying food.
Our garden this year is amazing and I am so proud and almost every night Ean makes something using food from our garden. I never cared for gardens when I was a child. I can remember running through my parents garden but I never wanted to have my own and now I just love it. Plus there are news reports out that once a week you should go vegetarian just to help save the planet, so fruits and veggies are important all kinds of reasons. I love "going green" or "being green" or doing my part (although I need to be a better recycler) and gardens all tie into that.
So in some small way I challenge myself to be a better blogger, a better gardener and therefore a better person! I need to discipline myself to do what I love all the time. Do not be a butterfly Renee, running around from one thing to another, be stagnant for a change. Stay in put! GROW where I am planted!

Ebay
Today my mother n law gave me four boxes of books to sell on ebay. I guess I am going to be busy for a bit.
I got a knew computer (cute as can be) but I have been away from my blog for a couple weeks now because of it. Well, I tried looking for blogspot.com and to track down my blog but I had no success and then today...it just popped up on google search. SCARY. So here I am on blogspot and ready to list a ton of things on eBAY. Go me! I feel so productive. :-)
