My mom commented on my salsa-losing-story. She seems delighted that I’ve joined the ranks of forgetfulness and sends her condolences that I’m becoming more like her everyday. :) It made me smile and reminded me of yet another “moment” of mine. On Friday morning, I was busy baking a batch of pizzelles to fill my first […]
The One with the Missing Salsa
I thought I was going crazy. It was Tuesday night, and Kevin had left for his final class of Free Methodist History and Polity. (woot.) I chopped up some veggies, shredded some cheese, heated up some black beans, and created a lovely dinner plate for myself. Gathering my quesadilla and tortilla chips, I realized I […]
The One with the Food Features
You may remember when I officially opened my Adorkable Bakery on Etsy? It’s only been a few weeks, but so far I haven’t had any sales. But what I have had is lots a wonderful support, exposure and features of my delicious cookies and candies. I know that first sale is coming! :) While we were […]
The One with the Library Lovers
My husband and I are well aware of the fact we are dorks. And you know what, we totally embrace that. We love reading, learning, sitting in peace and quiet. Sunday afternoon we proved our dork status once again. The local library we frequent closed down last Spring for building renovations. We were still able to […]
The One with Harry Potter
I’m a late bloomer. At least where fads are concerned. :) Harry Potter books first took my peers by storm in 8th or 9th grade. For the past eleven years, I have firmly opposed even the idea of of reading these widely popular books. I think most of my hesitancy lied in the subject matter. […]
The One with the Thunder
journal entry Monday, April 4th, 2011 Land Between the Lakes–Hillman Ferry Campground It’s raining. Hard. The winds have been whipping since 3am, thunder has been rumbling and occasionally clapping louder than I’m used to, and the rains have come down in sheets loud enough to drown out conversation. It’s to be expected, though. I mean, […]
The One with the 10 in KY
Top Ten Reasons I Am Thankful for Camping on this Beautiful KY Day Wearing 2 long sleeve shirts on, a fleece, and a sweatshirt-vest. I’m gloriously comfortable. Falling asleep reading thanks to the warm sun beating on my face. Eating Raspberry Blueberry Pancakes. They are delish. Finishing a book and starting a new one. Being […]
The One with the Hidden Treasures
In preparation for our week of camping and relaxation and family bonding, Kevin’s parents purchased a geocaching GPS and borrowed a few extras from camp for each of us to use. If you’ve never been geocaching, you should totally look into it. It’s fun, it’s free (after the initial purchase), it gives you a great […]
The One with Honest Decisions
In recent weeks I’ve come face to face with me. Who I am. Why I do the things I do. What makes me tick (or what ticks me off. teehee.) I have never been very good at decision making. Not that I lack the wisdom or understanding to make the right decision. Most of the […]
The One with the Business of Baking
I have many hobbies. I love learning new things, expressing my creativity, making others smile. In the past few years, I’ve dabbled in crocheting, knitting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, laptop slipcover sewing, cookie decorating, recipe creating, blogging, graphic designing, and photography. Honestly, I’ve loved every one of these activities, though some of them were more easily […]
