Queen of Rambles

We’ve had a crazy weekend around here. I’ve had a sore throat and a period, which makes me a total joy to be around. The temperature suddenly dropped into jacket weather, which is GREAT when you have a sore throat. Joy joy!
We started the weekend off with the annual pumpkin fest out [...]

It feels like I’m always posting about Erik driving me crazy, so I thought I better let you know that the child was an angel today. He slept in late and was happy all day long. I think it helped that we went to a different playground and he loved it. It [...]

I just spent a good portion of the day re-working the border on the round robin quilt I’m due to send out at the end of the month. My original border was unacceptable, so I bought a book, found a pattern that would be perfect, read the directions carefully, made some irreversible cuts, did [...]

Forgive me if you’ve already read this post. I just noticed it in my draft folder and I don’t think I ever published it. It’s from a few days ago, not exactly sure when.

Do you know how hard it is to find a decent clip art of a firefighter? Be careful when you search or you’ll find something HOT! Not exactly appropriate for preschool, but at least it gives Mamma a thrill.
Today was Erik’s third birthday! It seems like this birthday has been going on [...]

I’m looking at my day tomorrow, wondering what the HELL I’m thinking. I’ve got Body Pump, a trip to the swimming pool, grocery shopping at least enough to prepare a single meal, buying an ice cream birthday cake, hosting Erik’s best buddy and his mom for dinner and cake, planning Tuesday’s preschool lesson and [...]

I made roasted vegetable calzone tonight, which was really good but lacked the tang of pure animal fat. I missed my ham. I’m trying to get back to eating more fruits and veggies, so that was step one of the plan. I find I LOVE roasted vegetables, but I never have the [...]
