HOW TO MAKE SODA WITH YOUR SODASTREAM THAT ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD

So, we bought a sodastream for our house, and (after my husband and sister-in-law made a mess of my kitchen every step of the way because they wouldn't read the directions first,) we quickly discovered that every sodastream flavor tastes like crap. Except maybe for Orange ( Read more... )

Things I have been up to and never posted here:

Completed my xxxHolic fanfiction a while back. It's around 28,000 words and has over 200 reviews on fanfiction.net, so I guess it's pretty good.

VulnerabiltyWatanuki hates being so vulnerable, and hates even more that he has to crawl to Doumeki all the time for help. What he doesn't realize is that ( Read more... )

Man, I am so irregular about posting on this thing. Cecilia is almost 2 years old now! So much has changed. I finally got a flower bed in the back yard cleaned up, I'm about to get a 38 gallon aquarium, I'm working my way up to implementing a no-shoe policy in the house to help keep it easier to clean, and lately I've been writing English ( Read more... )

I think I may even try writing bits and pieces of the original stories that are always bouncing around in my head. Perhaps I will post those snippets here, assuming I'm not feeling ( Read more... )

Or, perhaps she did want to be a Christmas baby. She held out all the way up to her due date and kept going, even though I was 2cm dilated and 90% effaced practically the whole month. Since my doctor said she wouldn't let me go over a week past due but she would be on vacation the week after Christmas, we scheduled my induction for the 26th. I ( Read more... )

December began in full nesting throe, although I'm sure necessity had a lot to do with it. You'd have thought I was building a real nest with all the leaves and twigs and dirt and fur that had accumulated on the floors. I spent all day Monday vacuuming, sweeping and mopping the whole house, and made myself quite sore in the process. Tuesday I ( Read more... )

Beginning nine months and all is well. The week before last was spent suffering from a miserable cold, which my husband is now suffering instead, and visiting my parents so as to attend the funeral of my Grandfather. After being sick for months with what was eventually discovered to be something called Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma, he ( Read more... )
