Top Ten things I’m pondering on this beautiful late summer morning… 1) Where in the world did my lovely red 1 tsp and 1 Tbsp measuring spoons disappear to months ago??! It is a mystery. I thought for sure I’d find them in the move. But no. They are MIA forever. Lucky for me, I have […]
The One with the Sappy Kitties
For the sake of complete honesty and because I seem to have an affinity for sharing my embarrassing moments, I will now expand about the “goodbye” entry from yesterday. I miss my cats. It wasn’t until we said goodbye to our Butterscotch (after already giving Maisy a new home) that I realized how attached I […]
The One with the Quad Complaint
Wednesday morning I decided it had been far too long since Jillian Michaels and I hung out. We were pretty much bffs for a year or more, but in the last few months, I’ve been doing a whole lot more running or stationary-biking or Pilates or yoga. The cold months of January and February were […]
The One with the Double Bed
Just last week I came across this post by Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama. She compares and contrasts the double or queen sized marriage bed to that of the king sized, which she and her husband are most used to. The comments on this post are quite entertaining as well, with people telling tales of […]
The One with the Pens
Confession: I have a pen problem. (Yes, I know I just recently posted about another little issue I have. Bear with me, people. There’s a more where these came from. And apparently I also have a problem with ending sentences with prepositions.) This morning, in the process of packing, I attempted to add my collection […]
The One with the Cherry Dilemma
I have cherry issues. No, seriously. Allow me to elaborate. I like the flavor of cherry pie, but not the consistency of the actual cherries in said pie. I could eat cup after cup of fresh Michigan cherries. I’ve done this. And I wouldn’t necessarily recommend eating much more than a cup or two. Believe […]
The One with the Mini War
If you’ve never encountered an Earwig consider yourself lucky. These insects are totally scary looking, albeit relatively harmless. Their pincers freak me out and I can’t stand finding them scurrying across my kitchen counters. I have killed a handful of these lobster-esque insects in the past week and didn’t think much of it. Besides being […]
The One with the Thing I WON’T Miss
I will definitely miss this house when we move. It’s been a wonderful first home for us. Yes, we lived in a Detroit apartment for 5 months, but we didn’t have time to make a home of it. This place, though, is where we’ve become a family–even just the two of us. :) We’ve learned […]
The One with the Monica-Packing
There’s an episode of Friends where Monica is packing up her fine China–the kind only the Queen is worthy of eating on–and she enlists Joey and Phoebe’s help in filling the boxes. (NOT a good idea.) She carefully details the process in which each precious piece of China is to be wrapped and nestled into […]
The One with Organized Baking
Sometimes, I just need to organize. It’s amazing how cluttered one’s drawers and cupboards and hiding spaces can become over many months. Though most people would have probably still identified my baking cupboard as “organized” I knew, deep down, it needed some serious attention. I have accumulated a massive amount of baking mix-ins (mostly chocolate)–semi […]
