A couple of months ago, I borrowed a cookbook from my good friend Mandy called the Bride & Groom First & Forever Cookbook. I had seen it in her house before and figured it would likely be filled with over-the-top gourmet recipes with exotic ingredients and complicated instructions. I figured I might photo-copy 1 or [...]

The sky is falling!
Remember that domestic feeling I mentioned in my last post? Hmmm…it kind of puttered out in the heat of the weekend. Although I did cook a homemade meal last night and had a late spurt of energy this evening resulting in a clean kitchen and 2 loads of laundry down.
It’s been a quiet, lazy kind [...]

Desperate Housewife?
My posts have been getting fewer and farther apart, and between you and me, I don’t like it one bit. I’m wondering if I force myself to post daily what the result might be. I’ve heard to be a successful writer, you must force yourself to write, even if 80% of what comes out of [...]

I so need to get a life
If for no other reason than it will give me something interesting to blog about. The last 5 days have been filled with work (boring), housework (double boring) reading A LOT (boring to everyone but me…usually) and sleep. No time for deep thoughts or humorous happenings. Just life.
On a side note, while cleaning out our [...]

Writer’s Block
I’ve been working on a blog post for the last two days. It’s been posted, deleted, re-written, walked away from, re-written again…and I still don’t like it. It’s one of those “meaningful” posts that I try to post sparingly, because I have a serious phobia of scaring off the few readers I have.
I mean, I [...]

Just in case you’re wondering
I promise more posts throughout the week, but for now you’ll have to settle for cute cat pics. Poor you.

Progress
When we first moved into our house, our backyard looked like this:
We tried watering and seeding last year, but to no avail. By the end of summer it was a mass of dried-out, yellow patches of dead grass and if you looked closely, you could see the little tumbleweeds blowing by…
This spring (late, late spring) we [...]

Yeah, I like run-on sentences.
You know how you feel when you are coming to the end of a really good book and you just don’t want it to end? That’s how I feel about my weekend. I am always happy to come home, but I think I left a bit of my heart back in Oregon. I spent the weekend [...]
