I LOVE the house I live in now. Love it to the point that I never want to move.
However. (I bet you saw that however from a mile off…)
However, the schools here stick out loud. Really. REALLY.
The house across the street from the church is for sale. It’s in a FABULOUS school district.
However.
The price is [...]

Monkey see…

I found a lettuce in the small appliance cupboard this morning. It was shoved into the glass pitcher of the blender . Methinks DNA testing and fingerprinting are not necessary. I think I can collar the toddler responsible for this abuse of produce, and her name rhymes with Smellenor.
She’s been watching me [...]
And then I turned around…

So, with the fridge rockin’ the freshly cleaned look, I the had the misfortune of opening the kitchen cupboards. Oh. NO. A half dozen spices fell out and I was steamed! I pulled EVERYTHING out and threw about half of it away.
How do we manage to collect 75 (no I’m not kidding) fortune cookies? Who [...]
A fridge full
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Fridge cleaning on August 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
My refrigerator is full. But I don’t consider it full of food. I have 6 kinds of mustard, three ketchups, various oils, dressings, vinegars, spreads, sauces and 5 kinds of jam. If that wasn’t enough, there’s the collection of jarred… stuff, like old pesto and various vegetables in some sort of liquid.
High, [...]

We went out to the pick-your-own blueberry patch again today. I took my good friend Iris along. She and I worked together at public radio, but have since both retired, but we keep in touch. We had a fine time.
The blueberries are coming to an end. We go a gallon between [...]
Blowing a gasket

Eleanor and I watched the Olympics last night together. She watched the divers with much interest. Whereas, she will likely be tall and is already super flexible, I am sure that if she wants to take up diving, she might just be the right body type for it. Now, if we can just get her [...]
Frivolity – please read the directions

I just bought one of these things and I love it. Some may say paying for a gadget that turns your kid’s food into a plaything is a big waste of money, but I am really enjoying this plastic marvel. It’s called a DynoBytes sandwich cutter and I think it’s the best doo-dad [...]
Monday Blues

It’s Monday, the day I traditionally (that means I’ve done it three times) stay home and keep the car off the road. I LOVE and HATE Mondays. I can just take it easy, get some things done around the house, play with the girls and just BE. But I tend to go bonkers if I [...]

Here’s what came in my email this morning, I’ve made the answerers my own:
YOU CAN ONLY TYPE ONE WORD!!! Not as easy as you might think. Now copy or forward, change the answers to suit you and pass it on. It’s really hard to only use one word answers. Be sure to send back [...]
New Cereal

I have a new favorite cereal: Kashi’s Strawberry Fields. I. Love. This. Munch! The flakes reminds me of frosted flakes, but are 4 times as thick, so it makes the cereal super crunchy. And who doesn’t love freeze dried strawberries. YUM!
I’ve not been a person who has had [...]
