I hope all you ladies out there are having as great a weekend as I am! I don’t really believe in Hallmark holidays. Mike and I are notorious about forgetting real holidays, so manufactured card holidays like Mother’s Day doesn’t quite sink into our consciousness. We prefer to celebrate our schlocky love fest every day. [...]

Sorry to scare you all last night. I was beyond tired and Lost was about to come on. You can only expound upon the joys of toddler temper tantrums so many times, before you start to sound like a broken record. At least when I was a teacher there were enough children to make the [...]

I have nothing to say tonight. That is all.

I thought we were all in need of a goof ball picture tonight. I know I am. It was Mike’s birthday today so I tried to be the perfect wife and make the Prime Trifecta! Have you guys heard this theory? I love it. It came from someone on Heather’s friend’s list. There are three [...]

Erik was begging for his little Irish buddy today, so I sucked it up and called. Can you believe I’ve called the Irish folk several times in the past month? Me either!

Someone please come to my house, make an inventory of the cupboard, make a healthy and delicious weekly menu, write up the grocery list and go shopping. I’ll be magnanimous and put the groceries away. If you buy some chocolate I’ll even bake you some brownies. And I’ll eat them, too. Because that no sugar [...]

I’ve been hankering after a little mini-ironfor paper piecing, but I am a cheapskate and have heard they aren’t worth the price. A gal on LJ is clearing out her sewing supplies because she needs cash, so I picked up her iron for a song. I gave it a test drive tonight and encountered one [...]

I’ll tell you where the night has gone! It’s gone to cutting out strips of construction paper and gluing them back together. UGH! I am teaching preschool tomorrow, thus I’ve been cutting out zebras, printing out elephants, hunting down black paint, and cooking lasagna. I think I make things way too complicated. Last week the [...]
