For the first time ever, we have decorated for Christmas early this year. “Early” meaning right after Thanksgiving rather than 2 weeks into December. Last year, we never even got around to decorating the tree (although it was quite nice with just white lights). DH got the lights up outside on Thanksgiving day! Every year, our neighbor comes […]
Avocado, chicken, & black bean salad
If you are seeing this message on top – you aren’t logged in. Most entries in this blog are limited to registered users. Please login to view entire site. This is a salad I adapted from a recipe from somewhere (sorry, I don’t remember) which we have all the time because it is so easy, […]
Pumpkin cookie bakeoff
This blog has limited most of its content to registered users. Please login to view full content. I’ve had a hankering the last week or so for pumpkin, chocolate chip cookies. So I did an internet search and found two promising recipes, so I’ve decided to do a bake-off. This first recipe is adapted from […]
Best ROI Ever!
Today, DS pulled a soda cup (with lid & straw) out of the trashcan. I probably would have usually pulled it away and put it back in the trash, but he was having so much fun with it. Putting the straw in and out. Taking the lid on and off. That one piece of trash […]
Crashing
I don’t usually get political on this blog. It’s meant to be fun, if not for anyone else, at least for me. So for those thinking that this is going to be a rant about today’s stunning drop in the market, and government’s role in it all, well, prepare to be disappointed. I have to […]
It’s the bomb
This week for preschool we are singing the Hickory Dickory Dock song a lot. To go along with the song, I found a cute craft idea to make a clock and mouse. Here’s what we made out of household trash. DD loves the mouse! And it was fun to make. DH, however, saw it and […]
Fireworks!
I finally used some cool functionality on our Canon DSR. I took pictures of fireworks over the weekend. Here are some of the cooler shots: Nice Shot of DD One of the attendees practicing his Hogwarts training. Still has to figure out how to straighten out the shot. Palm Tree? Street Lamp My favorite – […]
Yard Update
It has been one whirl-wind of a week here at our house. Since Tuesday, the backyard has been teeming with workmen building our fireplace. It was so neat to watch them build it – I’m like an expert now (because watching and doing are the same thing, right? ha ha!). They’ll be finishing up […]
You’re looking at Mrs. Average
I found this test online from 1929 that rates you as a wife or husband. Pretty funny what is considered a “demerit” – such as “seams in hose often crooked.” Does it count if I don’t even wear hose? But I have to say a lot of it probably makes sense even today. The test […]
DH’s topic
I am pretty braindead this week, hence the lack of my normal, witty, hilarious posts (ha ha). I unfortunately cannot think of anything to write about beyond sales taxes and poop (hardly entertainment). So, I asked DH to give me a topic and I would write about it – no matter what. His choice? “How […]
