Our new friend Facebook has taken all of our attention lately and we have neglected The Sredzinski Show. I have also been slow on updating this site because I wanted to try to import the blog into some software that will help you publish your blog like a book and totally http://www.timandalanna.com/2009/05/professional-procrastinator.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-3328414280979456414Fri, 02 Jan 2009 15:17:00 +00002009-01-02T10:51:52.128-05:00In light of Michigan becoming the new Hollywood (as our friend Monica has also posted about on her blog), Tim and I took a ride out to our own movie set right here in Howell!! I believe they are pretty much done with filming, but we still wanted to see if we could find any indication of a movie set and we certainly did! The movie is called "High School" and it stars Adrien Brody and Michael http://www.timandalanna.com/2009/01/howell-wood.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-1922392899961827101Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:46:00 +00002008-11-05T07:51:01.654-05:00I was upset that I fell asleep last night while I was trying to stay up to see who won and to hear their speeches. So, I woke up this morning and immediately went to the computer and I was so excited to see that Obama won!! I am so proud to be an American today! I was reading his speech and looking at all the pictures from yesterday and I just wanted to cry...I am so blessed to be a part of http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/11/amazing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-8341386922129910923Tue, 04 Nov 2008 22:24:00 +00002008-11-04T17:25:04.189-05:00http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/11/vote.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-7174692693965533637Sun, 02 Nov 2008 20:52:00 +00002008-11-02T16:00:58.588-05:00Earlier this fall Tim and I babysat our niece, Stella. Here are some pics from that adventure! She is so adorable and such an easy baby to watch. She definitely LOVES her uncle Tim and her doggie cousin, Milo! http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/11/stella.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-2507850549812400848Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:26:00 +00002008-10-29T19:58:26.967-04:00Tim and I say "oh we never do anything, we have such a boring life" but in reality it seems we are doing something all the time! I guess when we say we never do anything, it's that we never get to do anything with our good friends. Unfortunately, everyone lives so scattered over the country. Tim's cousin Steve calls all the time and every time we talk to him we're doing 'something' and he http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/10/happenings.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-239288245774501219Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:20:00 +00002008-09-07T10:37:38.909-04:00Tim and I had a great evening out last night in Ann Arbor with one of my coworkers, Laura, and her husband Jim. We went to Jerusalem Garden to have middle eastern food (Tim tried tabouli and falafel for the first time). And then we saw a comedian, Craig Gass, at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. We laughed a lot and really enjoyed the show. He is a pretty crass comedian so if you are easily http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/09/lots-of-laughs-in-a2.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-3088220317045557802Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:25:00 +00002008-09-07T10:17:03.669-04:00This past weekend, Tim and I were lovingly told that our blog desperately needed updating! We really have not been up to much lately. Since our Mackinac Island trip we've just been hanging out at home and Tim worked about 60+ hours a week for the month of August. We both had vacation the last week of August which was fantastic! We didn't really do much though; just did some little things http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/09/updates-updates.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-3270105409534665941Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:02:00 +00002008-07-02T21:05:30.016-04:00Hey Everybody! First post in a long time for Tim here.Alanna and I went to Mackinac Island for a three day weekend, a couple of weeks ago. We headed up on Friday, June 19th, and spent time in Mackinaw City, where our hotel was. We then drove across the Mackinac Bridge to St.Ignace, and drove around for awhile. Then we went back to Mackinaw City and walked around to all the shops, and had http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/07/mackinac-vacation-and-tims-new-car.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-3671905182320568925Mon, 26 May 2008 00:04:00 +00002008-05-25T20:08:33.486-04:00I went to Douglas J in Ann Arbor and got a haircut and highlights. Douglas J is an Aveda institute so all of the services are done by students. It's a lot cheaper than going to a full-blown salon! Yeah, I thought I'd throw another Milo pic in there too!

There were only a few other dogs there but he got some great socialization and excercise. Tim taught Milo how to go up the ramp and by the end of the day he was a pro and would do it on his own. He also mastered the tunnel. He's such a good puppy! This dog park is so cool because it has a man-made pond with a babbling brook http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/05/dog-park.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-4668540061152888829Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:54:00 +00002008-02-09T14:08:37.176-05:00I've been learning a lot more about buying meat, produce, etc. from local farms and I think I found one near us that might be worth investigating. My first purchase from them will most likely be something simple but interesting to try: apple cider vinegar. A coworker told me about a 'home remedy' for heartburn/acid indigestion that I am eager to try. She said that a friend of hers who had http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/02/ive-been-learning-lot-more-about-buying.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-8692542435120089370Sun, 03 Feb 2008 23:07:00 +00002008-02-03T18:10:41.744-05:00http://www.timandalanna.com/2008/02/milos-new-coat.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-8035134962989183877Mon, 05 Nov 2007 14:43:00 +00002007-11-15T08:25:18.880-05:00Tim and I went to a Halloween party on October 27th and we had lots of fun. I was a she-devil and Tim was a Gangster a la Al Capone days. At said party, I fell and broke my hand. However, I did not spill my drink that was in my right hand! I went to CVS and bought a thumb brace because I reallly didn't think I broke it. So, Sunday we went to our first puppy class and on Monday I went to workhttp://www.timandalanna.com/2007/11/halloween-broken-hand-and-milo.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-4988731748615155832Mon, 15 Oct 2007 12:29:00 +00002007-10-15T09:21:47.175-04:00This weekend was a busy one for us! My parents were in town and we babysat for Tim's brother. I also got a call on Friday night from my friend Angie who lives in Midland, asking if she could spend the night with us on Sunday and Monday because she got a job at UofM Flint and had orientation in Ann Arbor for two days. So, we had a full house this weekend! We also managed to get in a movie and ahttp://www.timandalanna.com/2007/10/busy.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alanna/Tim)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202301.post-2862520398134051729Thu, 11 Oct 2007 13:21:00 +00002007-10-11T09:33:12.874-04:00We finally found the puppy we wanted!

I had an HSG (Hysterosalpingogram) test on August 9 and the results were not good. They found my right fallopian tube and ovary completely blocked and my left side has a blockage somewhere near my ovary.

I have started my new job with St. Joseph Mercy Health System in Brighton at their outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinic. I work 11:30-8pm M-Th and 8:30-5 on Fri. I got my first paycheck this past Thurs and it was nice because it was a lot higher than a School Bell paycheck! I can get used to this!

Yay. So, that means it has to be something with me. So, I will probably meet with my doctor soon to discuss further options. Ugh. What a process! I had my interview on Tuesday and I think it went well. I am waiting to hear back from the social work director.

We stayed with my parents and had a nice visit. Tim got LOTS of work done around the house while I was gone! The kitties can now go in the basement because it's clean. So, their litterbox is now down there instead of in the kitchen...yay! Today I have an interview at Medilodge in Howell. Tim's mom works there as a Dietician.

I'm so impressed with myself because I am not much of a gardener. I cleaned up a spot next to the house and sidewalk, put some Miracle-gro gardening soil down and sprinkled a seed bag that I bought in the dollar bins at Target. Yay!

We are mostly settled into our new house. I will post some before/after pics soon. I am unemployed at the moment. So, Tim is working extra hard (a lot of 12hr days and Saturdays). Hopefully, I will find another job soon. I have been enjoying this down time though. I was a huge ball of stress for a year and a half and this has been quite a relief!
