This latest design update was not without its fair share of drama. I had everything exactly how I wanted it on a private test blog, but when I went to install it over here, everything went KABLOOEY!! Thanks to my emergency SOS to Cathy at Desperately Seeking Wordpress, everything is now back up and running. I missed having photos in my … [Continue reading...]
It went from mid-winter thaw to the high heat of summer virtually overnight. I predicted this. Oh yes I did. It will never cease to amaze me how miserable spring can be in the northeast. But hello summer! I'll take it. I'm not much of a winter skirt girl. Mainly because I hate tights. But in the summer, bring on the skirts. They are so much … [Continue reading...]
A few random thoughts for today... 1. We just got a new bulletin from the school. Evidently there is now a Bus Driver's Appreciation Week. What's next? Garbage Collector's Appreciation Week? I mean, don't get me wrong. I have GREAT appreciation for our bus drivers. I wouldn't want to do that job for the world, and I am so very thankful, but I … [Continue reading...]
We're kicking off the Season 10 Results Show with the Top Ten (or is it the Top Thirteen?) performing a Lady Gaga number, Born This Way. It's always fun to see the contestants who were voted off again. Now we start out with the duets, my favorite part of the season. I look forward to this every year. James Durbin starts off the show, … [Continue reading...]
Y'all. I totally forgot Idol was on last night. Seriously, I'm in the middle of this awesome book series and I had just started reading the last one and I settled down in bed at about 8:30 last night to read. I even thought about watching the results show for Dancing with the Stars and decided I didn't care enough and I could find out who won this … [Continue reading...]
My son is generally very accepting of the food changes I've made in our household. Being the oldest, you'd think that he would be the one to put up the biggest stink, but he is actually quite interested in why I choose to buy certain foods and to avoid others. He's been learning about "nutrition" in health class -- the FDA's version, anyway. He … [Continue reading...]
If you ask 10 people their favorite comfort food, and 9 of them will undoubtedly say "mac & cheese." I'm not talking about that blue box with the neon-orange chemical pouch either (although even I will admit, that's a comfort food in its own right.) But we all know that a casserole dish brimming with bubbling homemade cheese sauce over your … [Continue reading...]
The Early Bird Gets the Worm Strawberries Saturday morning I got up bright and early to go to the farmers' market. I knew the first crop of this season's local strawberries was in, and I didn't want them to get sold out before I got there. They are open from 9 to 1, and I arrived right at 10. I walked straight over to the strawberry vendor and … [Continue reading...]
I will never forget the time when my parents made me walk across the street by myself and apologize to a neighbor for a wrong doing. I was probably 10 years old, or something like that. I had done something stupid (I don't even remember what it was anymore) and the consequences of my actions was to go over and apologize. I'd have rather DIED … [Continue reading...]
This week's meal planning was easy because I went to the farmers' market on Saturday and picked up a few meat items and some fresh veggies. I am still waiting on my beef order to be ready, and I'm about due to drive out to the farm where I like to stock up on chicken, so I'm just piecing things together until then with whatever I can find that is … [Continue reading...]
