The One with zzzzzzzzzz….
up at 6am tomorrow. going to work (going to work!?). baking literally dozens and dozens of cookies. Christmas shopping. 90% off racks at Kohl’s. attending one of our teen’s band concerts (per her invitation *grin*). surprising her with flowers (per Kevin’s thoughtfulness *big grin*). tired. bed time methinks.

The One with the Bulbs
To those of you who will truly appreciate seeing pictures of our house transforming into its Christmas outfit, I wanted to share with you. Make sure you realize, however, that these pictures do not do the actual scenery any justice. In which case you are all welcome to visit any time. My baking skills have […]

Thanksgiving in a nutshell: awesome. delicious. busy. loud. fun. uniting. perfect. We ended up with 19 total around our tableS for Thanksgiving. My parents arrived Wednesday evening and showered us with gifts for the house, including the set of China dishes my mom is giving to me. I was also given some wonderful belated […]

I’m looking forward to winter. I […]
The One Where She Marks Her Territory
The title is accurate but not in the customary feline way. I feel that I have marked my territory in our new home–cleaning things I never wanted to clean but bringing it up to my standard of cleanliness recognizing that this is now our home. I never wanted to do this at the apartment. Not sure […]
