Naughty, Naughty

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

I tried to be strong. I really did. The latest Koontz book has been out for two or three weeks and I’ve not sought it out. Instead, I put it on hold at the library and was content to wait a few months for my turn to read.
Then yesterday I got a [...]


Oh, Summer Time!

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Summer is finally here and seems to mean business. And now we’re back to that old conundrum. Sunscreen. Have to have it. Have to slather it on my face. Have to protect my skin from wrinkles and cancer. Yet my eyes? My poor, poor eyes. They hate it [...]


Floating Skirts

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

So I go back in the dressing room with six different suit/skirt/top combinations, determined that I am going to be modest and stylish at this party.
The first skirt worked well.
Then came the top.
Did I mention these halter top things are not meant for boob storage? I put it on and just started [...]


Where’s my baby?

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

My baby! Where’s my baby! It’s so quiet here!
Erik had his first ever sleep over last night. I think 3 1/2 is a little young for that, but we are going to be taking care of his little friend Irish Lad towards the end of October while Welsh Lass is born. [...]


Now with more ramble

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

So tired. Very, very tired. I went against my husband’s direct orders and went to BodyPump today. Really, the option was kill myself at BodyPump or kill my child at home. The boy is driving me mad. Mad I tell you! Doesn’t help that my period is due any [...]


From Monday

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

I just put the last stitches in Erik’s quilt! I’ve been working on that sucker for . . . oh. . . a year? Maybe? I have no idea, but it sat on the back burner forever because I couldn’t get motivated. Now I just need to throw it in the wash [...]


From a couple of days ago. Stupid webhost that keeps breaking.

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

The quilt is washed and dried and looks fabulous! Even though I’ve made several quilts, I always hold my breath until they come out of the dryer. I’m always convinced they are going to fall apart. I don’t understand how I am capable of creating something by sewing it together. It [...]


I’m Here!

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Did you miss me yesterday? I missed you! We had no cable, internet or phone service from 10:30 am till after I went to bed at 10:30 pm. It was a long, long day and we weren’t even home for most of it.
Uhhhh. Why does Erik have a knitting needle? [...]


Sunday, June 21st, 2009

We had one heck of a weird day yesterday. It started with a downpour, which meant we weren’t motivated to leave the house. Saturday is always our eating out day, so we were flummoxed. What to do, what to do? Get soaked and eat good food or stay home and starve?
The [...]


Busy Day

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

I’m supposed to be resting, but we’ve been cooped up long enough. I made plans to go to our MOMS Club craft day, thinking it would be nice to go and sit with other moms while Erik messed about with other kids. The leader of the craft day doesn’t read e-mails much and [...]
