A Plan, A Poll

Ah HA! A little light bulb turned on in my head. I've decided to put the little rope bed out on the porch! It would get it out of my way in the spare room and would create a bit of a day bed sort of thing out on the porch. I love when I come up with free ideas!

Of course, I am going to have to figure out some sort of mattress for it, since the feather mattress that was on it is being used for re-enacting. I hate foam, but I might resort to it.

Now for my poll:

Do you prefer an electric stove or a gas stove?

I personally miss my gas stove and can't stand electric, except for the oven. I like an electric oven.

I prefer electric but that's because I'm a bit afraid of gas.

I LOVE a gas stove. I had one for about 15 years, but we moved to Canada and had to settle for an electric stove - a tiny apartment-size electric stove in a 4-bedroom townhouse - what's up with that? I sure do miss my gas stove!

Well, I have used both and am currently using a gas stove. My first experience with gas was when DH and I lived in Germany. I was deathly afraid to use the gas, but knew I HAD to in order to cook. Well, I'm even more afraid of matches (not long enough)! I still don't use a normal length one. MY DH got me some long ones and I used them to start stove with.

Amazingly, I actually prefer gas!

She's Here!

Our daughter was born at 7:17 pm, May 27th after only 2 1/2 hours of labor and 10 minutes of pushing! She weighed in at 6lbs 5 ounces and measured at 19 inches long....another little peanut! It was all-natural, baby! No induction, no pitocin, no pain relievers, no episiotomy! All prayers have been answered by the Lord except for her nursing ability. She's not a very good nurser, though she was a champ just after she was born. She's getting better, though and I continue in prayer that she improves. I pray that when my milk comes in, she'll be a great nurser. I'm also in prayer about her jaundice. Right now, it's not bad at all, but I learned with Bubby how quickly that can change, especially with her not being a good nurser. The picture above was taken yesterday. That's me and my son and daughter. Poor hubby's not in the picture because he wasn't at the hospital at that time. He was there earlier, but I sent him home to get some rest and some

Blessing, Wisdom, Modesty, Feminine Influences

My wonderful husband bought me a new vacuum! My old one threw sparks out at me, so I refused to run it for fear of my life. So, hubby bought me a new vacuum and it's wonderful! It even has a self-cleaning duster attachment! Hubby appreciates the hepa filter. I enjoy having a vacuum that actually does it's job. Oh, and my other favorite attachment is the special adjustable upholstery and stairs doo-hickey with it's own rotating brush. It's great for dog hair. I recently had my 4 impacted wisdom teeth removed. Hubby teased me that I was going to lose my wisdom, but I actually gained some! While I was in dreadful pain and recovering, I had to eat VERY carefully. During this time I learned that: 1. I eat when I'm not hungry...not a good habit to get into. 2. I eat too fast and don't savor my food. Therefore, I tend to eat a bit more so as to enjoy the flavor. 3. I put food in my mouth when I'm still chewing the first portion I put in. Blech...what a

I'm sorry, but I just have to gripe...

What is it with this trend of calling women "Miss" and their first name? I really dislike being called "Miss Kate." First of all, I am NOT a "Miss" and secondly, Kate is my familiar nickname. I am very proudly Mrs. Scott. Calling me Mrs. Scott does not make me feel old or detached. On the other hand, "Miss Kate" makes me sound like a child and lowered in societal and respectable standards rather than the married mother that I am. I don't want to be called Miss Kate, nor do I want my children to address adult women in that manner. Which brings up another point; men don't receive that kind of watered down respect. They get addressed properly as Mr. Smith, not Mr. John. Unfortunately, the three greatest offenders are a close friend, my sister-in-law, and my church. My close friend, I allow her daughter to call me Kate. We've known each other for so long and she's growing into a young lady, so I have no problem with the fam
