			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few weeks ago I sent a resume for a part-time administrative <a href="http://www.beyond.com">job</a> that would allow me to work from home.</p>
<p>It sounded like a great job and even offered benefits.   Of course, I&#8217;m sure that I&#8217;m one of three hundred applicants.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve got to love a college town where phds are applying for minimum wage jobs!   </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure when things calm down with the economy that there will be more options and I&#8217;ll start to look more seriously once we&#8217;ve moved and I&#8217;ve found a good daycare or school for Emmy to go to part-time.</p>

<p>YIKES!</p>
<p>WE GOT THE HOUSE!</p>
<p>The deal was squared away about a week ago.   We had the inspection done and asked for some concessions.   He gave us $1,500 in credit and our real estate agent and the seller&#8217;s agent conceded some too.   That way we were able to meet half way and go forward with this house!</p>
<p>To say the least&#8230;we&#8217;re excited!   The house needs a lot of work - but it&#8217;s in town and we&#8217;re excited to fix up another house!   </p>
<p>Right now we&#8217;re looking at granite and tiles for the kitchen!   Hopefully, when we go visit my cousin in May we&#8217;ll be able to stop at the Ikea and pick out cabinets!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This upcoming week I have to call around and try and get home insurance for our new house.   We currently go through State Farm.   However, we have a strong feeling that we&#8217;re getting gouged!    We go through them for <a href="http://www.lifeinsuranceagency.com">term life insurance</a>, home and car insurance and despite their little discounts here and there we&#8217;re still spending a fortune and don&#8217;t feel like we have the greatest insurance.</p>
<p>Not to mention, I think we&#8217;ve only talked to our agent twice in the 13 years we&#8217;ve been using him!</p>

<p>Well, we&#8217;re the owners of two beautiful baby iphones.   We got them a week or so ago and we&#8217;re in love.</p>
<p>Some days I don&#8217;t even get on the computer at all because all of my emails, blogs, and websites are viewed through my phone!   Not to mention, I&#8217;ve been able to have quite the social life because I get all of my emails when they are sent and don&#8217;t miss out on anything exciting!</p>
<p>I also was able to get the hookup and found a website where I got the USPS worker 25% off at At&#038;T!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here&#8217;s some irony for you&#8230;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m on the birth control pill.   </p>
<p>Laugh.</p>
<p>Laugh hard.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m an infertile lesbian who is using contraceptive!   </p>
<p>When I finally started getting my period it was HELL.   It was long, I had horrible cramps, and I was absolutely miserable.   Not to mention the fact, that I could hardly leave the house without bleeding through my clothing.    </p>
<p>So the midwives put me on Yaz.   </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on it for a few months and it&#8217;s been great.   I feel like it&#8217;s regulated my body in a way that nature couldn&#8217;t!    The periods are almost nothing and just last a few days.   </p>
<p>Of course, I still miss the <a href="http://prenatalvitamins.org/">prenatal vitamins</a> that come with pregnancy!   My nails and hair grew so fast!</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve also been pretty lax about taking photos.   Maybe that&#8217;s just what happens with the second child.   But I do feel guilty and I am going to try and do a better job at writing down her accomplishments and taking photos!</p>

<p>Of course, it was just the good ole&#8217; gall bladder begging to be taken out.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been on <a href="http://www.fatburner.org/">fat burner</a> medication before and lost quite a bit of weight but nothing&#8217;s been faster or more natural than the gall bladder diet!</p>

<p>When I get my gall bladder out Tuesday I hope that the weight loss continues.   However, I&#8217;ve also looked at options like <a href="http://www.quicktrimreviews.net/">quick trim</a>.   </p>
<p>I figure weight loss drugs have helped before and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;d be able to help me get over the hump!</p>
