I think I had a little too much caffeine last night. Diet Pepsi with dinner, then a wonderful brownie pudding cake for dessert. In any event, I didn’t get to bed till 12:30, then couldn’t fall asleep. I woke up at 8 and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got up.
By this afternoon, I [...]
I’m having some friends over tonight. Mostly to show off all the changes we’ve made in the kitchen. Which means I should clean. Especially the kitchen. By now, many of you have a pretty good idea of how I feel about cleaning. Trust me, it’s not the same way I [...]

Peanut butter on a toasted bagel.
It’s all in the timing.
You have to wait until the bagel is cool enough so that the peanut butter doesn’t melt and run all over your fingers and the plate (if you’re the type to bother with a plate for such casual fare), but not wait so long that the [...]

BD keeps growing out of things. Shoes, clothes, even bicycles.
This weekend we got her a new bike at Target (no, not the one they’re remodeling; we went to the old one that they remodeled after they built the new one that they’re remodeling now).
The bikes there are already assembled (thank goodness!), so we wheeled it to [...]
Earlier this month, Michele posted the following:
Did you know that Miss North Carolina was just crowned as the new Miss USA? Do you care?. . .What is your opinion about beauty pageants?
My reply was simple:
Didn’t know. Don’t care. Wouldn’t want my daughter in one, even for the money.
It never occurred to me that our son [...]
While both of our kids were great sleepers when they were babies, they each developed a similar sleep quirk while they were in elementary school. HS grew out of it, so I’m holding onto the thought that there’s hope for BD.
About an hour after going to bed, she often will get up again. She stands at [...]
It happens every year. The 2005 version started several weeks ago.
“Get your landscaping done in time for Derby!”
“The best selection of Derby hats in Kentuckiana*!”
“Come shop here for your Derby jewelry!”
“Big screen TVs to watch the races on Derby Day!”
“Replace your septic system before the Derby!”
Okay, I made up the last one. But [...]
We have just had the most beautiful stretch of weather that I can ever remember. It’s coming to an end now, but for almost a week, it’s been dry and sunny, with highs in the 70s to around 80 and the lows in the 50s. Everything is blooming and beautiful. I took a walk with [...]
I went to Target today.
And discovered that they’re remodeling it.
Excuse me, but this is MY Target, and no one asked me if they could rip the store apart and move things where I can’t find them.
I only bought two items. That’ll show ‘em.
MammaK at Petroville has decreed it, so it must be so. It is the day to thank the person(s) who brought you into the world of blogging. There are days when “thanks” may not be the word I’d choose. Those are the days when I think “What on earth will I write about today?” Or [...]
