I just ordered fake topiary trees for my front steps because I can't keep actual plants alive. (wilted) They were expensive! But hopefully will look nicer than dead trees.
H has been applying for jobs for months with no bites, but last night he found his dream job and is feeling really hopeful he gets this one. His current position requires a lot of travel, which he hates. The potential new job is a much shorter commute as well.

djc315, That picture is adorable! Someone bought my DD one of those crocheted outfits too. I never even put her in it because I was too lazy though, lol.
On a positive note- they start construction on our screened porch tomorrow. Yeahhh! I have ALWAYS wanted a screened in porch and finally getting one.
Here or at the beach?? Fun!
We're heading up and will probably be at Funland Monday - not sure if you guys will be there. jenn248 ?
Yes, I was thinking I should message you two! We are heading up Thursday night and will be at the beach until Monday (probably in Rehoboth until Saturday AM, then head to my parents' for the rest of the time, but I am happy to meet up wherever).
I am so ready to go home from the hospital. Monday can't come fast enough. In other news, I have not drank any caffeine since I got sick so almost 3 months now. The smell of coffee is so tempting. I'm trying to use my caffeine free summer as motivation to stay away from the stuff but it's getting very very hard. Before getting sick, I was having at least 3 cups of coffee a day in addition to one or two diet Dr Peppers. I really shouldn't go back. I also haven't had any alcohol and I am trying to do the same thing with it since drinking just adds calories and I don't need any extra calories. But coffee is going to be so hard to resist once I'm back on the outside.
Has anyone heard from sju1982 ? I've been thinking of her these past few days.
I'm here. Have the procedure scheduled for Tuesday at a nearby hospital, and arranged services somewhere close to our house for afterwards. The hospital has a wonderful program for this situation, as did the funeral home. I can't wait until Tuesday, but I'm dreading Tuesday, too. At the very least, I'm hoping to start the process of moving on once everything is complete. Thank you to everyone for the kind words and messages. There were just too many to respond too but I literally read every single one. As I had mentioned to a few of you, not many people know what we are going through so I really, really appreciate everyone's support here on the board.
Big hugs to you. sju1982. I can only imagine what mixed feelings you must have about next week. Will you all be naming him? (I hope it's ok to ask that.)
Continuing to send good thoughts to you and your family.
