Very Overdue Update

Once again it’s been weeks since I’ve written anything other than a menu planning post…it’s sad because I’ve had so much to say, but couldn’t really say anything.
Let’s see…Bug is doing very well in school.  I had his first Parent Teacher conference at the beginning of November.  His teachers love having him in class and [...]

Busy, Busy, Busy

It’s been too long since I sat down and composed a post.   I’ll fall back to my typical excuse…life got in the way.
Let’s see…I pretty much need to sum up the month of July!  The 4th of July was a day spent at home.  It was Darling Hubby’s birthday so we fried some chicken, made [...]

Recent Happenings

It’s been a while since I posted.  I’ve been busy doing different things and just haven’t had time to post.  Let’s see…over Father’s day weekend we went to visit family.  On Saturday we went to a surprise 60th birthday party for Darling Hubby’s step father.  His birthday isn’t until July 6th, so with the party [...]

Ups and Downs

Today has been an up and down day.  First, when I got up this morning I just wanted to sit back down.  It turns out that yesterday’s Belly Dancing seriously hurt my calf muscles.  It hurts so much to walk, especially down stairs and I cannot stand on my tiptoes.  I thought I’d “push through [...]

30 Day Shred – Day 20

I got through day 20.  Today was both easier and tougher at the same time.  I had an easier time with the sit-ups and did a little better with all the jumps and even the scissor crunches.  What threw me was the fact that I have a sore throat.  My mouth ended up getting a [...]

4 Years Ago

I know I haven’t been around much lately.  I’ve still been reading blogs and such, but either haven’t had much to say or the inability to put my thoughts into words.  Plus, there was some drama that I was dealing with, alongside some of my online mommy friends.  Now that the dust has settled some, [...]

I Should Probably Live in a Bubble

There are days when I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed and you just should not mess with me.  Today was one of those days.  Darling Hubby just wanted to irritate me and he succeeded.  I just wanted to be left alone and on days when I’m in a bad mood [...]

Christmas Present Progress

I’ve been pretty busy with making things lately.  Since I last posted about craft projects, I finished 2 hats (I love the new pattern and will probably make one for myself at some point and maybe a small one for Bug) and and a third and final pair of flap mittens.  I still have to [...]

Most Delicious Turkey EVER!

I usually only have turkey when I go visit family for Thanksgiving or Christmas.  I decided this year I was going take on the task of cooking my own turkey for my family.  Today was that day.
I started yesterday making up a brine using Alton Brown’s Good Eats Turkey recipe.  I altered the recipe a [...]

Cool Beans

Getting up at 7:30 actually has it’s benefits.  Darling Hubby has been harping on me that I have a lot to get done before Christmas (meaning all the crochet/knit projects I’m undertaking) and it would be better if I got up in the morning and did something rather than lazing in bed with Bug until [...]
