Rest!
I stayed home again today- well, more like Jeff didn’t wake me up because he figured I should stay home again and before I knew it he was kissing me goodbye. I love that I have that kind of flexibility in my job, and I love that I have...
Staying grateful…
I have been up all night throwing up. Isn’t that lovely? I have been thoroughly blessed with a relatively symptom-free pregnancy, and I haven’t come down with even a sniffle really. Then, all of the sudden, out of the depths, came my old friend the stomach flu. I tell...
Happy MLK Jr. Day!
This is a photo of that xmas cactus that had white blooms on it. It’s still going strong. When the flowers are in full bloom they turn a bright pink. I love these things, they give me a little freshness in the dead of...
It bursts with every bite!

If there’s anything I’ve been wanting lately it’s FRUIT. Not just any fruit, but juicy and preferably citrus fruit. Grapefruit in particular....

My family is home from Mexico! I went to visit Gretchen and Obeth and Tuula last night. It was...

It’s pouring out right now, and almost 60 degrees. Strange after the 10 inches of snow we just had. I hate that we are killing the planet.
My paid account is running up in a few days. I don’t want to lose all my...
A joke?
What’s the difference between roast beef and pea soup? (see bottom for answer)
It’s only January and I’m already starting to think about my garden. I couldn’t help it- I ordered a book. I’m super excited about it. It’s called “The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible” and I can’t wait for it...
A new start!
I spent most of the day organizing and getting rid of stuff. This is the furniture my grandpa made in 1955 for my mom (and then her two siblings). While we won’t be using the crib for a while, I’m so...
The new year.
I don’t really make new year’s resolutions because I figure that I should make them when I have them, at any time of year. I saw this quote the other day though that I really loved. It represents an ongoing process for me, but I think it really sums...
A whopper…
Last night Jeff and I hunkered down to watch ‘Apocalypto’ – the flick about the Maya civilization. I came away from it thinking it was unspeakably gory (which I don’t really mind if it’s with purpose), and also that the Mayans were straight up savage and very very...
