I woke up early. 6am. I stumbled to the bathroom as dim sunlight peeked through the curtains. Crawled back into bed. I stirred around for awhile. My back was aching and the sciatica in my left leg was starting to act up. I turned on a heating pad and proceeded to burn the uncomfortable feeling…
When I first got this poncho a couple years ago, I wore it with dark jeans and brown flat boots. I felt like Princess Leia fighting for the rebel forces, minus the braids and the laser gun and the Hans Solo. Not quite as cool. So I never wore it in public again. I guess…
Rainy day project! Poor Stevie was feeling sick anyway with a fever and some barfies. So he took a nice, long nap to sweat it out. While he slept, I had time to work on a project that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile; new curtains for our dining room/office. I found the look…
I know. I was just complaining about the weather like 30 seconds ago. It’s too hot. I don’t like warm days in the middle of January. I want to wear my scarves and sweaters. Blah, blah, blah. Then we went to the west side of town. Wow. What a gorgeous day to be outside. We…
I have an announcement. I made something that actually resembled food. And it was good! I present to you Sauteed Lemon Tilapia: I found the recipe here but I did modify it just a tiny bit because I couldn’t find peppercorns. Not the ones they used anyway. So I used delicious capers in my butter sauce…
I don’t know why I ever bothered buying winter clothes. We had a tiny glimpse into an actual season. It was cold and scarves were worn. It was so nice to feel some chill in the air and not seem like a crazy person for wearing a beanie or wanting to sit by the fireplace…
I think it’s pretty safe to say this kid is walking! I know you are all as excited as I am. It’s been a long time coming, but finally – at 25 months old – he’s getting used to the idea. Don’t get me wrong, he is still super clumsy and falls down a lot.…
I’ve had an intense craving for cookies the last couple days. So today, since I have all this extra time from not shopping, I decided cookies had to be made! I did a quick glance in my cupboards for ingredients and realized I didn’t have eggs. Dang, a pretty basic ingredient for cookies. Normally I’d…
Hey I’m all for animal rights. Can’t you tell from my horse scarf? But when Urban Outfitters starts calling their fake leather jackets “Vegan” just to appeal to the hipster crowd, it’s just a little bit ridiculous. I would not have bought it – based on principle alone – but it was 50% off. So duh. (Yes,…
Well, I made it through week one without shopping. Kind of. It wasn’t a quitting-cold-turkey kind of thing because stuff that I had ordered online 1-2 weeks ago started arriving. So they were fun little residual treats to get. But I think the last of them has arrived. And now the real challenge begins. When…
