You know how clutter happens? It's just little moments of laziness.

That's all. Just a tiny moment where you think, "Oh, I'll file that bill later," or, "I'll make a stack right here of things to take upstairs when I go later on." It's things like that, and I'm so guilty of it ( Read more... )

You know what thrills me? When royal icing behaves absolutely PERFECTLY. Especially in the midst of having a crazy heatwave and humid blip ( Read more... )

I can't wait for the next 40 minutes or so to pass! One of our favorite shows, White Collar returns to television tonight. In addition, we'll also be recording Parenthood on another channel. I'm ready for some Matt Bomer, though. :-D ( Read more... )

I made our meal plan this afternoon, and then the boys and I went shopping for all our food stuffs for the next few weeks. They are hosting another big sleepover this coming Friday, so we got all the extra stuff for that, too. In the past, we've always done pizzas for the crowd, but this time I'm making a taco bar with all the fixins'. I called up ( Read more... )

Oh man, I am so tired tonight! I went to bed around 4am this morning, and then I woke up at 8 to get ready to volunteer at Jack's school. Once there, I copied, cut, pasted, and laminated my heart out! I was absolutely famished by the time lunch rolled around. For once, I actually finished all of my lunch tray before Jack or his friends finished ( Read more... )

It's been a relatively lazy day around here. I went to bed at almost 7:30 this morning, when Philip came home from work. (Yes, I was awake all night. It's the new routine I'd gotten into over Christmas break, I think.) We both slept until 2pm, about the time A.J. was to be home. I showered and Philip shoveled snow. By the time we were finished, ( Read more... )

I'm taking just a moment from un-decorating the house for Christmas to post a little bit. I realized I had not used this icon this holiday season, and well... to let such an opportunity pass would be a shame. If nothing else, I know mostcurious will love it. *wink ( Read more... )

Today has been the laziest of days. My shoulders/neck/upper back area is quite tense, and I'm sure I didn't help things along by standing at the counter for a while earlier. I was seeding two pomegranates, as well as sectioning four grapefruits and eleven oranges. Still, I'm glad the fruits are done. I love to eat any of these in the mornings, but ( Read more... )

I mailed a box and two letters this afternoon, and I could not believe how crazy-busy the post office was! I figured that it would be dead now that it's AFTER Christmas, but it surely wasn't. The line was wrapped around inside the tiny room, and stretching out down the strip of a hall outside the door. Insane ( Read more... )

It's such a wonderful, warm day out today! It's about 37° right now, and consider that is almost 70° warmer than we were last week - wow! The boys are out playing in the snow with friends, and Philip is carving away a bit more snow at the end of the driveway, to make it easier to manage pulling in. You have to take advantage of the warmer days to ( Read more... )
