I was so “on a roll” by the time I made it to work, I should have just taken the whole day off. Took the first half of the day off to take care of some personal things but I got on that “get my shit squared away” mode, I couldn’t change gears to “get work shit squared away”.

We’re a few steps closer to refinancing the car. basically we’ll be going from 7.99% down to 4.75% ( and if lucky a 4.5%) interest rate. It’s taken a lot of leg work but in the end we ended up just down the hall from work. LOL! Next we need to have the car serviced, have a couple recalls taken care of.. blah blah blah. but that all happens on the weekend so I should be able to focus on other stuff now.

The house adjuster came this morning to “adjust” the house.. or whatever you call it. :D he climbed up on the roof, measured it, went in the back yard, measured all the fences, went into the back, looked at the screened in patio, then he left. He was the nicest adjuster I’ve ever had to deal with.. basically *all* the fence has to be replaced.. ALL of it.. and goddam there’s a lot of it. The entire screened in patio frame thingy has to be torn down and replaced, and I also told him about 3 exterior lights that got damaged and our sprinkler system that got torn up by the tree roots. He said it’d take 3-4 weeks before we get a letter in the mail with a check. then I said.. “um, our deductible is 4k!” and he goes “oh don’t worry it’s gonna be more than 4k..”

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I just hope we’re not talking of something like $4001.50 cuz then i couldn’t even buy a caramel macchiatto :/

THEN, we took off to the obgyn to get an u/s. The lady said everything looked great. then we asked her OK OK OK, SHUT UP ALREADY AND TELL US WHAT THE SEX OF THE BABY IS, WILL YA?!!! (well, not really but that’s what I was saying inside). she looked and looked and zoomed and changed the angle of the view and looked and she just Fing took forEVER. I know what girl parts look like on an u/s so I just knew. I turned to dennis and told him “she’s gonna tell us it’s a girl”. and guess what?! It’s a Girl! lol!

I still would have liked to have a boy (i still would like to think I could have a son one day) but initial disappointment aside, I’m becoming more excited now about having another girl. I’m happy that Jada gets to have a sister because sisters tend to be closer to eachother than brother/sister and they are closer to the parents than boys tend to be after adulthood (unless you really fuck them up, that is). And they will share more things through the years, etc, etc.. not to mention we’ve got enough girl clothes to clothe twins if we had to.

so we don’t need a *single* thing for this baby. NADA! except, of course, for diapers and *maybe* a new infant car seat because J’s been sitting in the heat for 1.5 years and it’s said this damages the strength of the plastic and they only good for 3 years anyway no matter where you keep it. so if we don’t want to take chances….

We even already have new furniture for J so we can move her out of the “baby” room. We just need to paint, carpet, etc, etc, etc.

18 weeks down 22 to go. or… could be another early birht like J and it could be 20 to go…

ok, now i’m just rambling… ;)
