While cleaning the shower; I missed our tv being shipped! So, I can go up to retrieve it around 8-9pm tonight. Luckily Jeff will be going with me so I won't have to do any heavy lifting. For those of you who don't know, I have degenerate disc disease (aka: bulging disc) on my L5-S1 disc and it hurts like crazy. There's nothing I can do to hurt it worse (except more pain of course) and surgery could fix it, but it might not. It seems like I'm stuck with back pain. So anywho, now my baby fever has been set back and I'm busy with getting things accomplished around the house for the renovations. Now if only we could have cooler weather.

Looks like I need to box up some shoes that I won't need for awhile.....lately, my footwear has only been consisted of flip flops....oh how I love flipflops :).
