• Review of lunch at Boston Market| Leave a Comment

    After seeing the Simple Review and giveaway of Boston Market I decided I wanted to try it for myself. It’s rare that I eat out by myself. Since I was all alone after dropping TJ at a party I decided to treat myself. From the outside it looks pretty much like a typical get in […]

  • Why bikinis are evil| 1 Comment

    I’ve never been a big fan of the bikini. Even back in the day when I had a terrific figure I preferred a well cut one piece to a bikini. I mean let’s face it, bikinis are sort of evil. They can be so unkind and yet look so cute, much like a mother […]

  • What are you reaching for at 4am?| 2 Comments

    My mornings are not your typical morning. Usually I get up at 4am but right now my boys have half days in school and my parents have been away. That means I’ve been getting up at 2:45 am to go to work so that I can get a full day in before leaving to get […]

  • Tender rice and tasty egg foo young at a tender young age| 1 Comment

    When I was in eighth grade, part of an international project we were assigned was to cook a meal. The meal I chose to cook was pork egg foo young, won ton soup and pork fried rice. Mind you now, I was all of eleven years old when this happened. My Mom is not […]

  • No grill, no money| Leave a Comment

    RB said recently that our grill didn’t work any more. During summers past he cooked dinner for us on the grill several nights a week. That way the house doesn’t heat up from the cooking. Last night I needed to feed everyone. My Dad had been working on my truck in 90+ degree heat all […]

  • The party’s over| Leave a Comment

    Last week, on Thursday, we all brought in food to celebrate one of the girl’s promotion to another position in another department. We had a lot of food. So much in fact, that we were eating that food on Friday. And today. Most of it was all pretty good. On day one we had belgian […]

    In a contest on the Healthy Moms blog, I was asked to answer some questions related to my family snacking habits. Here are the questions, and my answers.
    · What snacks do your kids view as healthy?

  • Insuring change| Leave a Comment

    A few months ago I became eligible for the 401k plan where I work. I filled out my papers and sent them in and nothing ever came of that. I was told they never got there. The administrating company didn’t seem to care and just advised me to complete the papers again. We just learned […]

  • Heads Or Tails 39| Leave a Comment

    I found this meme on my pal Karen’s blog. It’s called Heads Or Tails. Each week a different theme is given by the host. This week’s theme was Peace Or Piece.
    One of the first things I think of when I think of a piece of something is a piece of pie. Might be dessert, might […]

  • Unusual family dinners| 2 Comments

    My son and I were talking today about our family dinners. By family dinners I don’t mean the four of us, I’m also including the rest of my family. If you come to a family dinner with my family you have to be prepared for excitement.  There have been two or three times that things […]

  • Be on the lookout for a mail carrier with gorgeous cupcakes| 4 Comments

    Ok, I’m a little peeved right now. I entered a contest on Cass Knits in which the prize was a cookbook called Little Cakes From The Whimsical Bakehouse back in February. Now Cass is not entirely without blame here, her description of the cookbook was so good that I had to enter because I really […]

  • It’s cookie time!| 7 Comments

    We love Girl Scout cookies, particularly the Thin Mints. I ordered ten boxes from my youngest son’s classmate and another five from a girl at work. We got one cookie delivery this past Saturday and another today, and I’ve been wondering all week if I ordered enough to last a while. I can probably get […]

  • What Easter makes me think of| 4 Comments

    For me the meaning of Easter is family. The things I think of the most at Easter time are family and my Grandma. Growing up my family spent most holidays together. When my Grandma was alive we’d have three generations present - me, my Mom and my Grandma. My Grandma loved bread. After she became […]
