Queen of Rambles

Quilty Goals: -Finish the quilt top that is almost finished. Why am I stalled out on this? -Start my mom’s wall hanging. Why why why didn’t she give me any input into what fabrics she wants? -Make 8 Dear Jane blocks. -Set up a Dear Jane website for my blocks/mock layout. Maybe include a few [...]

I’m so tired I might do a face plant on the keyboard. If I lay down and try to snooze while the Wiggles play in the background I’ll probably wake up to someone biting my face off. Why, why, why did MisterE have to get up at 6:30? Big life problem: our flipper is missing. [...]

I just sent out an e-mail to the Mosaic Minds staff letting them know we are officially over. It hurts. It’s a major relief. It feels so wrong.

I love the taste of bread I’ve let rise too long. I like to cook pizza dough the day after I make it. Mmmmmmm. . . yeasty! I do not like the looks of out of control yeast growing in my child’s mouth. I do not like the thought of what it might do to [...]

I avoid the Dairy Queen shopping center because. . . well. . . it’s the Dairy Queen shopping center. I’m sure it has another name, but the Dairy Queen is the only business I’m interested in. My mom, however, is a Dollar Store freak and when we were being naughty and sneaking in a DQ [...]

We made our way up to Lancaster County, the tourist-y heart of Amish country. We really didn’t know anything about the Amish, but that didn’t stop my mom from asking me ten million questions on the way there. She thinks I’m smart, but that doesn’t make me an Amish expert. We had intended to go [...]

I’m so tired of the “n” word. If I hear “no no no no nej no nej NOOOOOOO NOOOOOO” one more time I might explode. If I have another cup of milk thrown my way I might dump the cup over the head of one very stubborn toddler. If I am pinched one more time [...]

Is it bikini season? I couldn’t even find an elliptical at the gym today. I finally had to settle for some weird thing called an arc trainer. I don’t like arc trainers. Booo! Also, the front desk girl said I have to send mom home because she misses Erik. I know she makes a big [...]

We never play the lottery, but if we did we probably would have won a million bucks today. We are just that lucky. The DC area has a ton of different things for people to see, but my mom had a limited list of things to see while here: 1) Her grandbaby 2) The White [...]

I’m not a cow, but we saw cows today. They were the cleanest, shiniest cows I’ve ever seen. Normal cows are ragged, muddy and full of snot. Zoo cows are washed regularly. Yup, we made it to the zoo. I was worried about taking Erik on such an adventure and my worries proved well founded. [...]
