This post is about nothing because I should be in bed. I’m writing as a way to vent because I can’t sleep. We’ve let our daughter have sleepovers pretty much constantly for the past 2 weeks. We’ve run into some of her friends and figured what a better way to end summer in a fun […]

It’s officially mid-November already, and Halloween is over. Because Halloween is one of our family’s favorite holidays, we try to take advantage of doing every Halloween-related activity we can, which often stretches the season. We began on the Tuesday before Halloween at the mall. They held a weather-proof (good thing too, the weather on Tuesday

Yes, my daughters have asked this question, or “What can I do with?” If you ask any of my daughters, you will find out that I experiment in the kitchen. I tend to think of cooking as science with food. I like to find out what flavors go well with others. I often find out
I have this and this, what can I make for dinner? Read More »
I was allowed to attend a dress rehearsal of “Wild Oats” at the WCCT’s Little Theater off the Square. (Is that a mouthful?) If you don’t have a wedding to attend, a daughter to pick up, or some other things that will take up all of your time for the next two weekends, make some

I am much more of a baseball fan than a football fan (see my countdown timer to the first game of Cubs spring training to the right). But I will admit that I love watching football; mainly because my husband loves it, and I love to see him enjoy things that make him happy. Oh,
I spent most of the day at the home of my eldest daughter and her husband. They were having an Open house for friend and family. Since it was close to 90 today, and they have a pool, it was a good day to be there. I spent too much time in the sun, I

I thought today was going to be a real downer. Work seemed endless today with barely a break for lunch. If things could go wrong, they all waited for today. But with some luck, I had a much better late afternoon/early evening. As told earlier, I went to a movie. I went with not 1

This day actually started some time yesterday evening. During a thunderstorm in the area and a tornado close to us, 4 outlets in our house went out. I’m thinking something in the storm caused it, because to was only part of a complete circuit. Looked like I would have to replace at least on outlet.
Finally the snow has stopped (quick, where is some wood for knocking?!? Our snowblower has been put away, which is enough of a jinx, but add a comment like the above, and I’m asking for trouble!), and the weather is finally being cooperative enough for some outdoor fun. So this weekend had us taking in
The subject of this post, my friends, is the result of an email forward I got today. It’s one of the stupidest forwards, yet somehow irresistable at the same time. I posted it below if you want to try it. I didn’t have the nerve to bother my friends with this at work, so I decided
I did the Macarena with a phone because Big Bird said to and he’s my leader. Read More »
