Queen of Rambles

There’s just something strange when you’re watching the Olympics and realize the music in the background is Iron Chef music. I guess it was probably traditional champion music before Iron Chef got ahold of it, but it still makes me slightly hungry yet afraid of giant sea urchins. The guy who so desperately wanted our [...]

This isn’t my real entry of the day, but I wanted to post my two latest blocks and a healthy recipe that Mike and I have been enjoying quite a bit. First, the recipe. I got it from some dieting show on the Food Network, but have experimented and changed it some. I can’t really [...]

I don’t have a whole lot to say today. We got our curtains partially up, have a book shelf built and are slowly getting rid of a ton of boxes. I placed an ad on craigslist to get rid of my old bed from the Astoria days. I don’t know what happened to it, but [...]

The results are in. NoPudge Brownies are weird. I am a brownie-aholic, so I was thrilled to see a no-fat brownie mix on the market. You just mix it with yogurt, bake and consume. I had no idea if it would be good or not. It isn’t bad really, but it is strange. I need [...]

The stuff has arrived. I got a call yesterday that our stuff was in Ohio and the drivers were having a problem. Thus no stuff. It just figures it would be stuck in Ohio. I talked to my friend Julie (the one who performed our wedding ceremony) and she said she had it and wouldn’t [...]

I got a call from our driver today and we should have all our Oregon stuff between 5-6 tonight! Yay! How is it we can get a delivery from 2700 miles away before we can get a delivery from the same city? Still no sign of the couch or dining room set. . . I [...]

Just so you know, I have the sweetest husband in the history of the world. Every day I wonder what I did to nab this wonderful guy. How on earth did he end up 30 and single? I don’t know, but I love him. He brought home roses today to cheer me up since I’ve [...]

If there’s one thing I should have learned in all my years of teaching, it’s that teacher in-service is NEVER fun. In fact it is ALWAYS excruciatingly boring. Today’s orientation was no exception. By the third hour I was seriously considering faking a seizure to get out of there. This subbing thing is going to [...]

I got my camera cord today, so now you get way too many pictures of Braxton. I posted them over at my sadly neglected photo blog for organizational purposes so you can click here if you want to see them.

I want to thank you all so much for your concern and your words of wisdom. After hearing from so many of you, especially the medical professionals, I’m not convinced I just had a false positive and not a miscarriage (especially since my period has not been any more painful than usual). It’s still a [...]
