Commence with the Flappy Hand Dance

I’m catching up on some online reading before going to bed and I hear something moving in the wrapping paper rolls currently on our dining room floor.  I wake up my husband (who has to work tomorrow) and make him turn on the light and check.  He didn’t see anything, but I totally heard what [...]

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!
Happy Holidays!

Holiday Baking Complete

The past two days have been a flurry of getting ready for Christmas.  A lot of the time was spent in the kitchen.  I made a few different types of cookies, peppermint bark and cheesecake.  I can’t share more than a picture with you, although I wish I could.  Hope your holidays are wonderful!

Festivus (for the rest of us)

My day today was, shall we say, a little stressful.   Mostly due to the weather.  In the past two days we have gotten around 6 inches of snow.  I thought I was pretty much done with the Christmas shopping, but after a little chat with Amazon yesterday that did not go in my favor, I [...]

Floating, Falling, Spinning

Took time release Sudafed last night (the good stuff, the one they nearly do a background check on you before they sell it) and Excedrin. Had the funkiest sensations while trying to sleep. Felt like I was going to not fall asleep, but pass out.
Between the pseudoephedrine and the caffeine in the Excedrin, [...]

Food is Love

So….New Year’s is going to be here soon and we are hosting our usual dinner party for our closest friends. There will be about 8 of us (plus kids) and I need to start planning the menu. Last year I made individual beef wellingtons and lemon chicken (for those that did not want [...]

Say “Hi” to Fred Calamari!

I built a squid this evening. It’s a lot of fun. You can build your own and play with him too!

I Plead the 5th

At physical therapy today, during the massage and manipulation, my therapist noticed a bruise on my heel.  Actually it seems she felt it first.  I told her it was nothing to worry about and tried to change the subject but she knows me much too well.  She asked if I was breaking any boards.  Me, [...]

Pushy Woman

Have any of you attempted/completed the 100 Push-Up Challenge?  I was wondering what you all thought of it.  I need to do a physical project for TKD and since running is currently out, I thought this would be great.  Like a lot of women, I suffer from a not-so-strong upper body.  It’s gotten much better [...]

Egg Noggin’

Curses!  My mom left a half gallon (HALF GALLON!) of Oberweis egg nog.  This stuff has some serious viscosity.  Basically I drink like two ounces cut with 4 ounces of skim milk.
And it’s still heart attack worthy.
I really should find some way to get it back to her.
