This morning I got up with the dogs, as usual. Nori is old enough to wait for a few minutes to go outside after we get up, so the first thing I do is start a pot of coffee. That way when I come back in from the cold, it's ready and waiting for me -- almost as good as having a servant who prepares my food for me (yes, I do realize that that sounded ( Read more... )

♥ Busy busy! I feel like the last couple weeks have consisted of lots of going and driving and rarely being home. For somebody who is content to be home pretty much all the time, this is tiring! I'm sure it is largely because I've never worked outside of the home before, so even spending a mere 15 hours away in one week seems very foreign to me. I' ( Read more... )

So the last couple days I've bee pouring over kitchen plans. Colors. Textures. Whatev. I enjoy it, but am ready for things to just be chosen and done at this point. It's going to look great, whatever my mother in law ends up deciding on, you know? She has great taste. Like my own mommy. Between the influences of the two of them and my own personal ( Read more... )

I swore I wasn't going to copy everybody else again this year but thankfulness is something we should all strive for a lot more often and now seemed like a fine time to start ( Read more... )

The healthcare bill is going to have an initial vote take place on it tomorrow. This bill, if passed, would be disastrous for our already struggling country. Mandatory insurance with fines and jail time if you refuse to get it? More tax increases? Taxpayer funded abortion? I'm sure this is only the tip of the iceberg, since nobody has had time to ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. This is typical of Sunday. We were almost late for church, but not. They had another baptism this week that was just beautiful. A little girl was baptized. I don't remember her name but her great grandfather got to baptize her (I am presuming he is or was an ordained minister). After the baptism took place and the whole church ( Read more... )

Sunday night bullet points!

• I feel uncomfortable when I write a post and expect responses from certain individuals, only to have none. 
• On the table next to me sits a bottle (single serving size, people! Come on!) of Ste Genevieve Sweet Red wine. It is bubbly and fruity. Not what I expected, but good in spite of the surprise. It feels really weird ( Read more... )

Today was a productive day. I love having things to keep busy with and today was good and busy. I got up at a decent hour for a Saturday (8AM I think) and hung out with mom and Evelyn for a little bit while mom made some ROCKIN' low-carb waffles. David came down when they were ready and we both had... well, a few. :) They tasted so much like the ( Read more... )

Driving down here we rented a car from Avis. We had reserved a standard size car, which should have been something like a Ford Fusion -- something that got close to 30 highway MPG. This was a huge part of why we decided to rent. Our truck is old, and not only were we hesitant to take it on such a long drive (twice!), but the gas mileage isn't very ( Read more... )
