Man, we aren't good at keeping up with the blog, are we? Do we still have our two loyal readers? Sorry about the lag. I have had to deal with some family stuff, and I know D and E have been busy with their families too. Anyway, my exciting news is that I'm knocked up! That's right, I will be having a mini M on or around December 21st. I have some new recipes to add since I've been eating like a cow, so check them out! I hope you all are doing well. We'll try to write more often.

I just found this...via oneprettything.com I believe?  

Few things:  It's pretty as all get out.  She reviews things.  Like completely random things.  Like things that M, E and I go gaga over.  And she shares photographic wisdoms and links?  Excellent.


hhmmm...anything else?  I have a photo shoot this weekend.  Because I'm cool like that.  I could mention that it's my own family but then I'd lose my cool a little.  Lost was a recap show last night so I have nothing to say about that.  I like the new diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. 
 

 

I think Miles is going to tell his dad about the purge and his dad is going to kick them out to save them...therefore Miles is going to create his own dadless future.   And I think that Hurley's obsession with the numbers is going to some how cause the numbers to be used in the Swan and lead to them being broadcast over the radio which would lead to the crazy guy repeating them which would lead to Hurley winning the lottery (and tons of other things)...

I think they are all creating their own futures.

What a crazy 6 weeks it's been. Kind of a terrible 6 weeks, really. But I'm still trucking along and have been meaning to update this blog. I hope to have a recipe to publish tomorrow! I am going to make dinner tonight and it is going to involve ground pork and wonton wrappers....two things I don't have a lot of (or any) experience with. No recipe. I say F recipes. Excuse my harsh letters.

 

I'm also going to hit the gym tonight for the first time in 6 weeks. It's really time to get back into the swing of things. I also need to start spring cleaning, but that will not commence tonight. Guaranteed. Maybe on Saturday.

For all of our loyal readers (both of you) I apologize for kind of letting this site dwindle.  The three of us have had a very hectic month (or months) and lots of life has been getting in the way of the internet. 

today i started a new venture:

to house random writings and such.  Not really a blog...but an archive of sorts.  I write when the whim hits me so there's no telling how often I wil

I think it worked!  Bwa-ha-ha-ha.  I had pretty much given up on links. 

I mentioned during that meme I did recently that I didn't have a single favorite in a plethora of categories...I've been thinking about it and now I'm going to slowly start to list my ten favorite in each of those categories.  Starting with books.

D's Favorite Books In No Particular Order:

To Kill a Mockingbird-Harper Lee

The Harry Potter Series-JK Rowling

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy-Douglas Adams

Alas, Babylon-Pat Frank

Nine Stories-JD Salinger

The Secret Garden-Frances Hodgson Burnett

Heidi-Johanna Spyri

She’s Come Undone-Wally Lamb

Summer Sisters-Judy Blume

Understanding Exposure-Bryan Peterson



  



 

There was more to my last post..the one about whining...but for some reason it didn't save.  And I found myself not caring to fix it.  Because I was looking at inspiration sites on the internet.

I"ve found myself crafting a little lately.  Yep.  For real.  But even better than that, I've been taking photographs again.  I've decided to go ahead with the "Big Purchase" and stop putting myself down.  I can't wait! 

I found myself in need of scrapbook paper recently.  Not that I scrapbook (I just can't seem to get into that)...but I needed some.  I felt overwhelmed!  I never realized how intense that area of the craft store was.  I knew it was big...it loomed each time I passed it...but I never ventured into it.  I felt lost.  I found myself talking to myself.  I wanted to run and cry somewhere.  But after a while I found what I was looking for and followed my bread crumbs back out into the rest of the store.  But you know what the kicker is?  That stuff...the papers and stickers and things...it was all so fantastic!  I need to find a lot more crafts that use paper!  (and from the looks of it I might need to rob a bank)

This is your new blog post. Click here and start typing, or drag in elements from the top bar.

So, first, the rules:

1) Link to the person who tagged you.2) Post the rules on your blog (copy and paste 1-6).3) Write 6 random things about yourself (see below).4) Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them.5) Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.6) Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

1.  Today...January 16th, 2009...marks the fifth anniversary of the first time M and I started exchanging emails.  We have been fast friends ever since.

2.  The best word to describe me is "Distracted".  I try really hard to focus on one thing...like this list...or a conversation...or work...or a TV show...or the weather report...but I get distracted.  Easily.   Um...now I forgot what # 3 would be.

3.  My "Go-to" words are "watermelon" and "monkey".  If I don't know what something is and my son has asked me a million times and won't accept "I don't know" then I say one of those words.   And my "Go-to" number is 7. 

4.  I hate Diet Coke.  I will drink any other diet soda (in fact, I prefer the diet over regular on most sodas) except Diet Coke.  I'll even drink Coke Zero (which is almost Diet Coke)

5.  I do not have a favorite movie.  When people say "Oh, that's my favorite movie" I actually get a twinge of jealousy.  I also don't have a favorite band, book, a favorite song...but I know that red is my favorite color.  I probably could come up with a good list of Top Ten Favorite Movies, Bands, Songs and Books if forced to. 

6.  I just bought gel deodorant for the first time ever.  It was an accident...I thought I was buying the normal white cake stuff.  I thought I would hate it...but I don't.  I like it.  It's um...blue.  I've used the same brand for so many years that I don't even remember what it is.  Suave?  I don't know.  But it smells like apples.

as far as tagging goes?  I don't know who to tag.  If you read this and post it on your blog then let me know.
