So seeing so many people making giant cupcakes with this pan and my mother-in-law buying me this book and then finding out that they sell them at Joanne's and that I can use my coupon, I decided that I should buy it today. P and I went out and picked one up. Joanne's has it overpriced at $32.99, but the coupon was %50 off so it was still a deal ( Read more... )

So we took 4 boxes full of books to donate to the library last night. I had called on the weekend for the best time and to ensure that someone could help me take the books out of the car since even a box of audio books verges on what I'm supposed to carry right now.

Phillip got a promotion and a small raise. I think one of the reasons that he didn't get this a lot sooner is somewhat because of me. Because I made him take so much time in order to make a baby (or two) and in doing so we discovered his tumor.

Okay, this diatribe is bound to offend a lot of people, so don't click on the link if it is going to upset you. It is basically my current thoughts about gay marriage, but I've also ran on about Catholicism and a few other things.

I asked my sister about how marriage was treating her.

So this past week, my mother-in-law and I were fabric shopping and I commented that I needed to make a particular lacy pattern into lingerie. She responded that it wouldn't be very comfortable and she couldn't see sleeping in it. I told her that I didn't intend to sleep in it, and she gave me a very funny look ( Read more... )

My grandfather-in-law apparently told my in-laws that he didn't understand why P and I don't just have twin boys and be done with it. He has told me in the past that he wanted a boy and a girl and that is what he got. I wonder how he managed to get exactly what he wanted and if he's going to share this little gem of knowledge with me ( Read more... )
