Surprise!

Nope, not pregnant. Tubes are tied and sniped, remember? I was just thinking about this lately because we have changed health insurance from AETNA to WORLD. I was approved coverage, except that I won't be covered for C-section the first year. OK. Which part of the "can't have children anymore" was unclear during the interview?

Today, my husband came home with a gift for me. He's playing catch up. This is my 10th anniversary present (we're going to have our 16th year anniversary this year). I got a 26 inch Wide screen LCD TV by ViewSonic. It's in all black. I just managed to put it together...except that I can't make the sound work. Too lazy to figure it out now. I will just have D fix it later. I love it!

I told D that I don't need present because every day that he's here, every day that I see my children is a gift already not to be surpassed by anything else. This huge TV/computer monitor is toppings to an already beautiful presents I have.

I might have to wear sunglasses to deal with how bright this is. I forgot to say, I got a box of chocolates along with my new screen.

Fish Theraphy?

We have an aquarium with 5 fishes next to the kitchen sink. The cabinet above the aquarium is my spice cabinet. It has been an interesting few days for the fishes and for my husband. He had to change water half a dozen times in less than that many days. Between Yossi (DS3) and Yoav (DS2) giving the fishes some spices or too much fish food, it has been interesting to know that fishes does not like Cajun Grill seasoning mix, but they're alright with Asian Gril spices. They would gasp at bacon bits (the vegetarian kind) but they're alright with fish pieces.

This morning, they have to dodge a table tennis racket, the other day net. Between the clangings of the workmen, and the banging of the pans from children learning to cook, I have a feeling I will soon be needing a Fish Pscyhiatrist to deal with the "nerves" issues which may arise.

Otherwise, everything is alive and well at this casa. Still not finding my camera cord. I have tried to buy another at Sony.com, but evidently, they don't sell it alone. I have got to buy the whole things again...camera and cord both. Does anyone know if anyone is selling a cord only for Sony Cybershot 10.1MP. This model below.

Almost There

We're almost all moved out. The closing was delayed a week. It was a blessing as I still have little odds and ends in my old house. I really love it here in my new house. I am positive I will love it even better when all the boxes are unpacked and all the things are safely and neatly tucked.

I am just about ready for a day in the spa. My hands could certainly use a day of pampering. We're moved in for about a week now, and it's wonderful (other than the unpacked boxes and crates).

Yossi, my almost 3 years old has been asking me to go home. Poor baby. The stairs which I was so worried about is not so bad. They're all navigating through it fine, even Yoash, the baby.

The wonderful thing about my new kitchen is Chana's interest in baking and cooking. Every day she comes up with new recipes from scratch and bakes them. She has mastered the fine art of making French toast. Yesterday for lunch, she tried her hand at Spaghetti Carbonara. It was delicious! I was impressed.

I have some pictures but I managed to misplaced that thingy which will take pictures out of my camera into the computer. So I have pictures, but they're trapped! I guess I could remove the memory stick and get it from there, but it takes time which I have been hoarding to catch up on my reading. Books and blogs both.
