Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

I can’t believe I have my act together enough to turn in an article on time for this issue of Mosaic Minds. Granted, it is still a rough draft and I have three other things I need to do, but I’m still impressed with myself. Usually I’m doing things at the twelfth hour [...]


Christmas Shopping: Done!

Monday, November 28th, 2005

I am so glad I’m able to write an entry tonight (knock on wood). Last night we were dealing with the baby from Hell and there was no way to take a half hour break and gather together a set of coherent thoughts. When the devil takes over our child we try to [...]


Photo Meme

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

Margalit tagged me, so here is the google photo meme. You’re supposed to go to Google images and snag the first picture that comes up for each search. I cheated a little bit because I didn’t want to post pictures of people I don’t know on my site.
1) City where you were [...]


Entry Number 1000!

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

Wow. One thousand entries in this blog (not counting my old archives). You’d think that would compel me to write something especially meaningful, but nope. I don’t have time for that right now. Maybe entry 1001 will be the special one.
Onto the show. . .
Though I’ve been seeing [...]


Spare Batteries

Friday, November 25th, 2005

Just how long can a couple of D batteries keep a swing swinging? I may need to buy stock in a battery company, since batteries seem to be a major necessity with a baby in the house. We’ve got swings, bouncy things, singing things, boob milking things, and picture-taking things. It’s amazing [...]


Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

Whew! Are you all stuffed? I’m stuffed and I’m tired. So much for saying I wasn’t going to go all out. I skipped the candied yams and homemade mac and cheese, but our table was still groaning under the weight of all the food. Mike’s dad was duly impressed. I’m [...]


Question for Baking Americans in Sweden

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

That title could be interpreted a couple of different ways. Don’t worry. I don’t have a house made out of gingerbread that’s installed with a big ol’ child baking oven.
My father-in-law loved the chocolate chip coffee cake (http://busycooks.about.com/od/quickbreads/r/chocchipcoffeec.htm but I made it in a big rectangle pan instead) I made yesterday and is [...]


Stalking Dinosaur

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

My husband is obsessed with Wheel of Time. For those not in the know, it’s a fantasy series that has been going on way, way too long. I used to read it and Mike and I actually met at a Wheel of Time online discussion group. In the books, the author has [...]


It’s All Coming Together

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Ever wondered how Oscar the Grouch ended up living in a garbage can? What would possess a person green muppet thingee to take up residence among dirty potato peelings, stinky old shoes and banana peels?
I’ve found the answer.
He was a grouchy baby and his mother put him in there! That’s why he’s green. [...]


You say potato . . .

Sunday, November 20th, 2005

I rarely cook potatoes. This fact may be the one thing that proves Kisha and I are not the same person. I just can’t get behind a potato obsession. There’s all that peeling and chopping and finger burning (potato juice aggravates my ever present finger rash). Why bother when you can open [...]
