You guessed it, I am still one busy gal. Really, does life ever slow down? School starts in THREE WEEKS! Just in the next couple days I am going to my sister’s musical about 2 hours away, planning, making cakes, and having a small birthday party for the twins, and going to my other sister’s [...]

Quick post just because I have a minute and can:
For some reason I am working four night this week. This after being gone every evening the last two weeks for the older two girls’ rehearsals (they were in a local musical.) My husband misses me, the twins ask everyday when I am leaving….I am not [...]

Just a quick shout out to my dad to say Happy Birthday…he’s the most dedicated reader I have and his Birthday always seems to get sandwiched in between all kinds of stuff.
I hope you enjoy your time golfing this weekend! An extra round and a son-in-law to clobber drive the cart can’t be too bad of [...]

It has been rather dry here. I think it has rained once in the past two weeks. Needless to say, we have been watering our square foot garden. My older two girls like this chore, so long as they can wear those old hats. They usually get wet, on purpose, and the plants get a [...]

Chatper 11: Time Out (A Story and Miscellaneous Videos)
I had a particularly tough professor in college. Very straight-laced, and no-nonsense. He worked for Westinghouse for a number of years until they closed his plant. Then he went on to teach. I doubt there was any question I could have asked him about my major to which he wouldn’t know the [...]
Couch to 5K, week 3
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged couch to 5K, race, running, week three on July 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I was a bit fearful to start week three. Those three minute straight runs scared me. I am a self-proclaimed sissy…especially when it comes to sports activities and sweating.
It wasn’t so bad, though, so now I have moved on to dreading week four. The three minute runs actually feel pretty good and when I am [...]

I can’t believe that I didn’t update on here how I did on my race. The whole family went to the small-town festival and race. My parents, my Mother-in-Law, my kids, and then husband, his brother, and Iran. My BIL joined in last minute and it was really great to visit some pre and post race.
I [...]

*Baby monitors (1 9-volt in receiver, 2 AA’s in transmitter)
*Talking chair (3 C’s) *Handheld [...]
Italian Soup

What is this…a recipe? Hard to imagine, I know, you all were probably thinking I just happened to stop cooking anything new and good, right?
Well, I did.
I went through a slump where I just recycled old recipes and didn’t try anything new. Life was crazy for a few weeks. My parent’s restaurant is a done deal, [...]
