Yesterday was great. It was great with the enormous exception of watching two of our three fishies die. I was just trying to be a good caretaker. I was cleaning their filthy tank. Apparently I’m a horrible caretaker. I thought they would be happy. Instead I was very sad. I watched as they floated upside […]
The One with the Creamy-ness
A lovely evening. It all began this morning when I decided to try my hand at homemade pasta. When the fettuccini looked presentable I figured why not go homemade all the way. Alfredo sauce from scratch. Everything cooked up beautifully and tasted even better. *pats self on the back* I finished Twilight just now. It […]
The One with Lots of Things
Saturday was a great day all around. Come to think of it this whole weekend was nearly perfect. And I don’t say that about just any weekend. Saturday morning I headed for Canton where I met up with a bunch of women (including my favorite mother-in-law and one of my wonderful grandmothers-in-law) from across […]
The One while waiting for the new What Not to Wear
A wonderful Friday has been had. Warm leftover homemade potato soup for lunch. Reading and studying and quieting was perfect. Decided on calzones for dinner. Made by hand. Surprised husband. Excitement and smiles abounded. Quality time together cherished. Time to relax. Time to plan for tomorrow. Tomorrow includes an IKEA shopping spree. With 39 other […]
The One with the Fast Forwarding
As I sit here all clean and cozy in my favorite plush white robe, waiting for my oatmeal to thicken I thought I would do a little random updating. These were my thoughts yesterday. I was trying to find some calendar information on the Spring Arbor website but was having no luck. That’s when I […]
The One with the Comfy
It’s been a while. I feel a little guilty. But I haven’t had much to say. No…scratch that…I just haven’t felt like writing. Today was sweatpants day. And headache day. But what day isn’t headache day? I baked a white cake from scratch. The recipient tells me it was delicious. Our evenings have been […]
The One with Brilliance
I just opened the curtains in the office and gasped. You see, the sun is just now beginning to rise and while most of the sky is still a hazy blue, the horizon is brilliantly making a statement in a deep pinkish-orange. I’ve seen many beautiful sunsets but the colors of this sunrise is phenomenal. […]
The One with a Warm Snow Globe
It may be (below) freezing outside (and a bit nippy inside too) but I’m staying pretty cozy. Thanks to my wonderful mother-in-law who happens to be a talented crochet “artist,” my entire body can be wrapped snuggly in one of our two oversized afghans. :D Yesterday I finally finished my most recent reading endeavor. This […]
The One with Dora
When the phone rang at 10:30 this morning and I saw who the call was from, I contemplated passing on the pick up. I know, I know. You can’t imagine ME ignoring someone’s call! Well, if you knew this person, you’d probably do the same. A simple phone call that should last…oh…3-5 minutes at most easily turns […]
The One with a Stomach Stuffed with Pizza
This weekend was quite a blast. And not just of the fluffy white stuff. (…which I love by the way.) Kevin & I hit the road around 5:30 pm on Friday and arrived in Spring Arbor around 7pm. We had a delicious hamburger dinner accompanied by the greatest fellowship–family. Saturday was the first time in […]
