Indoors, that is. We planted a mini herb garden, and hopefully in a few weeks we’ll have a luscious crop of Basil, Sweet Marjoram, Parsley, and Cilantro. Hopefully. The project was simple, and not too messy…we used a gift A.J. had been given for the holidays (to which her original response was, “Oh great. A…
I just really found this fascinating, odd…but fascinating. Keep in mind I’ve had two glasses of wine tonight. Did you kow that “Snap-Crackle-Pop” is not universal? Nope (at least that’s what Wiki tells me) The following has been cut and pasted from a wikipedia article: The onomatopoeic noises differ by language: English: “Snap! Crackle! Pop!”…
Yours truly had a birthday in here somewhere. Now, usually I don’t do cake…it’s really just not my thing. I was that weird kid who didn’t like frosting. But Beth, my friend who makes all the incredible edibles you have seen me post here, convinced my husband (upon delivering the cake seen in my previous…
There are a few places I indulge…things I buy that are luxury items for someone like me who usually only makes a purchase if it’s on sale (and hopefully I have a coupon too). Among these indulgences are scones and non-fat venti cafe mochas at Starbucks, BabyLegs for Miss G (that’s an addiction I’ll delve…
While perusing the on-line toy ads for some holiday shopping, I came across some dolls of a particular well known brand (does an Aqua song come to mind?) and felt quite a variety of emotions from disgust to wry amusement…in any case, my daughter will not be finding any of the following under the Christmas…
…is People magazine, who recently ran the big story that Clay, he’s gay. Shocking, I know. About as shocking as the moment we all found out THIS GUY (insert euphemism for homosexuality here). Is Gay?!?!? No, there’s no possible way that THIS GUY could be gay! Really, I can’t believe HE is gay! In case…
Not the veggie my lil sis used to call “trees.” Though I do love me some broccoli, freshly steamed with a little garlic, or stir-fried, or stuffed on top of a baked potato and smothered in cheese, oh yum. No the broccoli I am loving is the egotistical blowhard who has an I.Q. of 10,…
So, it’s more than 3 months since hubby celebrated the passing of another year and I’ve been meaning to mention the awesomeness of my mad gift giving skillz (in the midst of having our second child and recovering, mind you). But, sheesh, I’ve been a wee bit busy with the wee one. Last year, Mario…
After going to bed in a pretty crabby mood and getting up much the same or worse (I won’t say waking up – since I didn’t really do much sleeping…the little one wanted a midnight snack, and was hungry again at 3am, still hungry at 4, and just not happy at 5) anyway, crazy half-sleep…
This is another episode in appliance hell; the last of which included an exploding microwave (which, by the way, is still awaiting a happy ending (ie – a new microwave – nope, I haven’t bought one yet…it’s a good thing we really don’t use one too often around here). This installment of appliance hell concerns…
