This morning I ran frantically into Casey's room and said "Casey! It's 6:53. I must have forgotten to set the alarm!" She was like "WHAT!!!? OMG.... wait. What day is it?" "um... OH. Saturday. I'm so sorry! Night ( Read more... )

I made Sweet n Sour Shrimp for dinner last night. Eh. We both decided we'd prefer shrimp and rice without the sweet stuff (which was cherry pie filling mixed with sugar and some other things) from now on. I'm going to look up some recipes online today. I think I've gotten my last issue of Cooking For 2 magazine because I never renewed it. I ( Read more... )

It's currently 40 degrees outside with a wind chill of 33. Yuck. Come on Florida, you're supposed to be hot! I am SO not a fan of any temps under 65. At least it's toasty in my office building ( Read more... )

The critter control dude went out to my house yesterday and set traps for the squirrels in my attic. They are basically cages they fall into when they come out, so they can make sure there are none left inside when they start sealing it up. The traps don't hurt them at all, but they still make me sad. When I got home from work I saw that there ( Read more... )

Whew. Busy morning playing catch up after being off yesterday. I'm supposed to be going to a staff meeting right now, but my boss is in his office behind closed doors, so I'm going to wait. Everyone else has headed over. Let them sit there looking at each other and going "Where's Jim?" LOL ( Read more... )

I finally got the internet working on Casey's laptop, so here I am cuddled up in bed AND online at the same time. Woo. Welcome to the 21st century. LOL ( Read more... )

My attempt at getting a similar but more kid friendly version of the Moment of Truth game was not as successful as I'd expected. The closest thing I could find was a Truth or Dare game, which would have been perfect if it wasn't Hannah Montanna themed (Casey and her friends gag at the thought). I made the mistake of not making her come with me to ( Read more... )

Last night I made biscuit topped beef casserole, which is basically a mixture of beef, cheese and vegetables topped with biscuits. Casey took one bite and then had a hot dog instead (I don't make her eat it, but she has to at least taste it), but I thought it was pretty good. Not good enough that I'm going to rush to make it again, but decent ( Read more... )

So, I had a decent but not terribly eventful weekend. Let's see ( Read more... )

So, putting moth balls in my attic might not have been the best idea. It seems to have gotten rid of the squirrel problem, but our house reeks. We've gotten used to it, but people keep commenting that we smell like moth balls. LOL. Guess I need to crack open some windows and spray some febreeze ( Read more... )
