Open House

Shortly after KT came home from school today, she mentioned the Open House at her school tonight.  She had just assumed that I was going to go.    I had planned on going…before I managed to forget all about it! (After all, I had gone to Mimi’s Open House last week, so that should count for [...]

What’s In A Name

A couple weeks ago, Laane tagged me with this meme.  I’ve been um…a little slow responding to it.  So, as this is supposed to be cooking week (and I’m just barely getting a post in today) I’m going to try to relate me middle name to cooking.  Let’s see if I can do it…this should [...]

How Hungry Are You?

Lisa at The Food Snob wants to know what our favorite recipe is and why we like it so much.  Hmmm….does this imply that we actually are supposed to cook it? (And cook it well?)  Let’s see…I can cook a mean pot of beans that people go crazy for.  I can bake and decorate some really [...]

It’s All Shaun’s Fault

This has been an interesting three weeks.  Having Shaun home all the time has been a bit of an adjustment.  I’m happy to say that I’ve once again learned to deal with him full time and most likely will not end up throttling him.  (If you happen to know Shaun in “real life” you will [...]

That Fine Aroma

The other day I picked up a couple loafs of garlic bread on a whim.  They looked and smelled so heavenly that I just couldn’t resist.  Now these weren’t your typical french bread with butter and garlic smeared on them so you can throw them in the oven and eat with pasta loafs.  No, these [...]

ANYWAYS,  today’s hostess, Sayre wants to see our art work.  Actually she wants to see what every [...]

Alone

Last night I woke up from a horrible nightmare.  I had dreamt that Shaun had been off-roading and had lost control of the Big Orange Jeep.  I watched as he rolled over and over and then perished in a blaze of glory.  I awoke with tears streaming down my face and reached over to Shaun’s [...]

On Walkabout

Shaun has been having a bit of a hard time on this “vacation” of his.   He’s been so busy working, that the concept of relaxing for more then a weekend has been alien to him.   So, I told him that he should just go on a Walkabout…only in his beloved Jeep. 
It took him a few [...]

Ten-Four Good Buddy

Last week, I got a call from Shaun asking me to guess where he was.  (Am I the only one in the world that can’t stand that game?)  After several half-hearted guesses such as Texas, the moon and the North Pole, my Beloved impatiently informed me that he was about an hour away getting a [...]

Good Deeds~The Awake Version

Nikki at  Antics of a Crazy Mom has asked to go out and do some good deeds and then tell everyone what you did.  This is a great idea for those who rarely do good deeds, but I’m always doing good deeds.  That’s just the way I am, I think it must be in my blood.  [...]
