tuna mac and cheese

23Sep09

I was at Whole Foods the other day buying some fruit and vegetables (pretty much the only thing I buy there because I can easily drop $100 without knowing it!) and there was this display with these mac and cheese boxes and cans of tuna.

So I bought a couple of boxes and for dinner we [...]

vampires, etc

09Sep09

I finally jumped on the Twilight bandwagon. Then jumped off. The book did not really live up to all the hype, I am sorry to say. Or maybe I just need more blood, sex, violence, and swearing in the book. Can someone write an R rated version? I went searching around for more vampire series [...]

August!

09Aug09

Wow, it’s August!! I’ve been running low on creative energy (i.e. kids are draining the life out of me) so I haven’t been around. Our sunflower bloomed! YAY I still can’t believe that thing grew in that little pot. Today we got a cactus from Ikea. I believe it is impossible to walk into Ikea [...]

my desks

06Jul09

I found a few more funny photos along with the GMO grown sunflower. Here I am being my crafty little self at about 3? years old. Awww I wish I still had that desk for M, although E-chan’s fingers would probably get slammed with that lid. Or possibly her head. You should see the set [...]

almost a flower

03Jul09

We almost have a flower!! {insert frantic jumping up and down smilie} I never would have thought it possible, but our lone sunflower is about to flower. The other ones died a sad death by mold but this one is nice and healthy. Well, a little stunted but it’s doing good for an inside plant. [...]

getting by

04Jun09

Proof positive I really am a normal person! Don’t forget we live in a one bedroom apt so I don’t have much to clean, no yard to take care of, park & mall within walking distance, and M’s preschool hasn’t started yet. My dinners are mostly from Costco and we use paper plates! If you [...]

Frog and Toad

04Apr09

Lately M has been all about Frog and Toad. If you haven’t read these since you were a kid, you should pull them out again. The stories are great and have just the right amount of humor so they are not boring to read over and over again. Oh, and over and over and over [...]

duvet cover

12Feb09

Twin sized duvet cover–so I don’t have to look at the flannel one in the summer! Something about flannel and warm weather just isn’t right. I got two sheets from Target for around $8 each and then added some snaps. The colors were supposed to be more stylish but Target was out of the cooler [...]

lists

19Jan09

I totally stole this New Year’s Resolution from Carrie, but she said I could blog about it first so here it is. Go to her blog and you can find helpful links.

I have to tell you that I am a total list FREAK. I make lists all the time just so I can cross [...]
