Dear product manufacturers, when you make packages of things like say animal crackers or chips that appear to be single serving packages..."appear" being the key word here, could you please actually just put one serving in there? I'm not going to open a package of animal crackers and just eat 15 of them unless there are only 15 in the package. It's ( Read more... )

Been working a bit. Have traveled through lite snow to reach Columbia to visit with my family over the long MLK holiday. Celebrated my birthday with them. Taught my nieces a fun improve game... May have ignited a love for theater in youngest niece. Diet is out the window for the birthday celebration. Went to church with mom and dad, was amazed that ( Read more... )

I don't think I'm a good blog reader. At least not when it comes to food. I enjoy browsing Pinterest. But any time I come across a recipe and follow the link and it's on a blog... I scroll past everything it says until I get to the recipe. If I like the ingredients I might actually read what they wrote when I go to make the recipe.. But even then I ( Read more... )

So I've decided to try something new this year so I journal more. I'm going to call it "two lines or more" and I'm going to try to do it everyday. I think I quit journaling because I always felt like there wasn't anything worth writing about going on or it was just too busy to sit down and put it all out there. But I've still been writing in my ( Read more... )

When I had you I would ask your Gran about myself as child and a lots of times she wouldn't remember. Other times when I would complain of one of your antics that was driving me mad she'd get kind of a maniacal laughter. Apparently you come by it honestly. It must be genetic. That's why I am writing your future self now. So that when your child is ( Read more... )

So last weekend was busy. On Saturday I joined forces with a friend from the moms group I belong to and had a yard sale. The large pile of stuff is finally out of my garage and I made about 120 dollars. My friend made around 170 so I'd say a very successful sale.

Then Sunday I had to play bells at Waverly and then had brunch with my old friends from ( Read more... )

My three youngest cousins are graduating this year. This makes me feel old and a bit sad. I guess one is actually a second cousin and I do have more of those who are younger than her but I have really only met them twice in their lifetimes. I can't even remember their names. How sad is that? As I was writing a check for a graduation gift I felt ( Read more... )

Do you all know what I hate? What I hate worse than anything in the world? I hate illness. Especially stomach viruses and cancer- not that the two are connected in any way. I hate stomach bugs not only because they are nasty and miserable but because they sneak up on you. Colds and flu and even strep all start out with a few minor symptoms letting ( Read more... )

Do you ever ask people questions in your dreams and then feel particularly amused by the answers your subconscious came up with when you wake up. At some point in my dream last night I asked someone what they'd suggest getting a one year old boy for his birthday. This is something I really do wonder about because a friend's son's birthday is coming ( Read more... )
