Kinda like where everybody knows your name… unless you never go.

The Husband and his friend, Jon, were in a shuffleboard tournament yesterday. And I’m a supportive wife, damn it, so despite the fact that it was held in a bar I loathe detest hate oh, forget it I was there to, well, support. And then I thought man, I really need to blog this. (Yes, [...]

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’ve made chocolate chip cookies before. Hundreds of times, in fact. Once here on this blog. And I absolutely love love love that recipe.
So, here’s the story. A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to make something rich and chocolatey. I found a recipe for these gorgeous looking Tri-layer Chocolate Oatmeal bars. They looked amazing. [...]

A letter.

I’m doing this for her… and I need your help.

So, you know my sister, J?

She’s in Oregon this weekend for a soccer tournament. She’s a soccer player. Have I mentioned that before?
The team flew up yesterday… and they don’t get home ’til Monday. (Sob.)
I got a few homesick text messages from her just a little bit ago and an order to keep updating my [...]

I tried to turn each of these things into it’s own post, but.

I asked The Husband for something to write about, as I’m currently drawing blanks, and he suggested writing about how cranky I am when I wake up each morning. But by “cranky,” he really means sweet with a sunny disposition, so that’s out.
I thought briefly of telling you about a certain individual who works in [...]

Earthquakes and munchkins and doodie, oh my.

I was home alone Sunday night when the earthquake hit. I was bundled up on the sofa, computer on my lap, in the middle of You’ve Got Mail for what had to be the thirty-eighth time, when there was a loud thud above me as if our upstairs neighbors had just dropped a Dodge on [...]

The possibilities are were endless.

But then naps took up most of my free time.

I love our kids.
It’s amazing how one 4-day weekend can mean traveling, seeing the world, experiencing new things… and another can mean naptime. I’ve spent the last three days doing just that: napping.
Oh, I’ve made an appearance here and there. Lunch at the beach on Friday [...]

The WTF post.

I’m a procrastinator. I might even go so far as to say I’m the world’s very best procrastinator. But who wants to hold that title?
There’s this THING that’s needed my attention for a long time. I’m talking years, peeps. YEARS. (I told you I was the best.) I finally made an appointment to take care [...]

I give up.

I’m not typically a “meme” kinda girl, but I’ll give in this time due to a complete lack of creativity and, well, in an abrupt and unusual effort to stop nickel and diming myself and maybe, oh, I don’t know, SAVE SOME MONEY, I refrained from purchasing my usual Sobe this morning. Which means I’m [...]

Key Lime Fudge

I freaking love fudge. I love the taste and the texture when you get it just right. A good piece of fudge is life-altering. (You think I’m kidding.) And I love the versatility. You can make fudge in any flavor imaginable. It’s awesome.
When I finally got out of bed yesterday at the crack of ten [...]
