I'm not having a brilliant parenting day. I'm tired, and I'm being lazy. So I brought Sam downstairs to play where he has lots to explore (and it's easy to get in trouble). Yep, brilliant ( Read more... )

I've been doing a lot of knitting recently. My wrists hurt, but I don't want to stop! I'm trying new patterns with new techniques. I'm trying to design my own patterns. I finally finished a sweater I started several years ago. And my Nintendo DS has a soft fuzzy place to hang out now ( Read more... )

Today, dumont42 and I celebrate 7 years of marriage! We were going to have an expensive dinner to celebrate on Saturday, but I got sick. So did Sam. Thankfully the worst was on Friday, Saturday backed off, and then Sunday we were miserable again. So.. Travis and I at least enjoyed a movie and some time to ourselves on Saturday. My appetite is slowly ( Read more... )

We've had a lot of storms recently. I don't mind the rain so much, although it keeps Sam and I inside. I get a little irrational about wind storms. Anyway, last Saturday a big wind/ hail storm came through our part of town. Thankfully, we weren't home at the time. We were oblivious about it until we turned off the freeway into our neighborhood ( Read more... )

This morning I checked the weather online and was a bit surprised to discover that it was Wednesday. You would think I could remember this fact, but I found myself thinking it was Thursday several times throughout the day. It's amazing I made it to my appointments today. Now I hope I don't miss anything tomorrow thinking it's Friday already. I ( Read more... )

Right, the new season of Doctor Who is starting this Saturday. As much as the new series has been a trainwreck, I'm still looking forward to new episodes. It's hard to look away. And every once in awhile, they do it right. Sometimes ( Read more... )

We drink a lot of chai tea at our house. We buy liquid condensed Chai mix at Costco and add it to milk and voila. Heat it, ice it, whatever. Sam likes it too ( Read more... )

I started writing the previous post because I wanted to tell people about the MOO Egg Hunt ( Read more... )

The time change has been a bit difficult at our house. Sure, it's nice when Sam sleeps in until 8:30, but I have early morning plans the next two days. It's gonna be rough getting him out the door on time. Plus Travis and I had been switching off mornings, so we alternated breakfast duty. It's hard making breakfast every day. Dude, it's only ( Read more... )

I bought Travis a game called Heroscape for his birthday last month. So far we have played it three times and he has completely tromped me. I thought I was better at tactics, but apparently I'm not getting my head in the game. Oh well, I'm still having fun with it. It has a lot of fun unique qualities to it. We ordered an expansion that will ( Read more... )
