ok, before we get to the furniture topic, I have to pay my respects to a very trustworthy pair of jeans. Just this morning I pulled my favorite old pair out of the bottom of my drawer. I had been ignoring them for a while cause I wasn’t in the mood for their semi-tightness. Anyways, […]
The One with the [not so] Secret Recipe
Yesterday at this time I was in the middle of pulling fresh chocolate chip cookies from the oven. mmm. There wasn’t much of a reason for this particular baking frenzy…other than I was just really craving chocolate chip cookies. I have tried out a variety of recipes for this timeless cookie. (It amazes me how […]
The One That’s Short
I completely forgot how great Chips Ahoy! cookies are. Yesterday I dropped off the “we’re moving out” paperwork to our apartment manager (who’s fantastic, in case you were curious) and on my way out I decided to grab a cookie. There’s always cookies out in the office and I have never taken them, but yesterday […]
The One with Too Much Goodness
This is going to be an account of the absolutely incredible weekend I had. With one exception. My precious little Mac iBook that was oh so tired a few months back has been officially declared “dead” as of Friday by the tech department. *sigh* I was holding out hope for a while that some of […]
The One with All Women
1) Our car’s muffler decided to stop functioning Monday. I heard the noise of a loud car driving near me on 94 and suddenly I realized it was ME. Yeah, not so happy about that. We got it in to the auto service station (where the two guys probably can’t believe they were seeing me […]
The One with the Stuffy Nose
Allow me to describe the wonderful last couple of days. Friday evening I picked up my husband from Wayne and we were off for Somerset. We were dreading the typical I94 rush hour stop-and-go traffic, but suprisingly we only had a short stretch of slowed driving. In addition to that, it wasn’t too hot at […]
The One with the Crunchy Leaves
It’s Friday. My poor darling is still miserably sick. I just spent a fortune in hopes he’ll feel better. We’re leaving for Somerset this evening and we’re both really looking forward to a weekend of fall camping. Seeing family will be wonderful…and then of course there’s the bonfires, the cool evenings, the hayrides, the cider, […]

The One with the Bright Sunshiny Day
Within 10 minutes of waking at 7am, I started to work on the finishing steps of the Amish Friendship Bread Jennie so willingly shared with me! I wanted to have it fresh and ready for Kevin to try before he left for school at 8:30. Despite the unfortunate dumping of approximately 7 cups of sugar […]
The One That’s Not a Book
Just a couple things: I can’t handle all the amazing new seasons of my favorite tv shows. Yes, maybe I’m a bit to attached, but Hey…when a show’s good, it’s good. I actually went as far as to make a spreadsheet with the weekly listings that we love to watch. (organization+addiction=happy girl.) Thank […]
