For the past two weeks, I’ve been absolutely useless. It’s been all I could do to eat three meals a day and keep it down. I haven’t accomplished a single useful thing, and even when I try I get about two steps in and then the exhaustion just forces me back on to the couch. […]

Can I just get away with saying ….Ug. I feel like such hot crap. Luckily I haven’t been throwing up constantly like my poor friend Bev, but I have been constantly nauseous. Especially after I eat. Oh gosh. I’m here at 2:15 and still sick from eating breakfast at 10:30. It sucks. I’ve also had […]

If this works out, I’ll be due April 23rd. Which makes me 6 weeks pregnant. I’m so dang sick I can barely bring myself to even look at food. I’ve just been shoving it down my throat and then laying down for a few hours to deal with the queasiness. I had a whole post […]

Look at this awesome little gadget! I got it at a fancy cooking store at an outlet mall nearby. I was there with my mother-in-law Marie and my sister-in-law with her two boys. Marie went inside just because she loves to sample all the fancy dips and spreads, and they had a demo set up […]

Remember a while back when I whined about having a cold in August? What if this isn’t actually a cold? It’s not allergies, because I always get burning eyes first for allergies and my eyes have been fine. Plus I’ve been breaking out like crazy, I’m ravenously hungry all of a sudden, and I am […]

Tuesday was Bear and my 8th wedding anniversary. It’s kind of amazing that it’s only been eight years and at the same time I feel like such an old lady. We’ve been through more in our eight years than most people deal with in a lifetime. Other than infidelity, I cannot think of a single […]

I got an ipod for Christmas, and I’m crazy about it. It’s revolutionized the way I work around the house, the way I go grocery shopping, the way I stayed sane at the boring desk job, and best of all, the way I sleep. Long time readers know I am a chronic insomniac, but this […]

My Sirius satelite radio. I got it for Christmas last year at the same time – through an accident of planning and communication – that I got my ipod. At the time I thought it was ridiculous to lay out that much money just so that I could never ever at any moment be without […]

I’m still on my summer cooking kick. It’s just so. dang. hot. here. This is the first time I’ve ever lived without air conditioning, and I’m realizing how little my cooking has changed seasonally. When I sit down to plan my meals, the things that keep coming to mind are roast chicken and pot roast […]

This time around, my work in Young Women’s is a little different. Now I’m just in charge of the 16 – 18 year olds, and I teach them every single Sunday. When I used to only have to teach once a month, I loved to go all out and make crazy handouts as a take […]
