on my mind

Phew I have so many little insignificant things to tell you that I don’t know where to start. The trouble with gorgeous weather of any kind is that it calls me outside and offline. And now that I’m online, I can’t think of how to get through all the past post ideas in my brain [...]

it’s the pits

Posted in the ones about cooking, the ones for fun on August 27, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Have you ever crunched your teeth on a unwanted pit while enjoying a piece of a cherry pie? Or worse, have you ever tried to remove a pit from a cherry with only a knife and your fingers.
Your fingers look bloodied without so much as a scratch and the cherry looks like it’s been massacred. [...]

we’re regressing

So remember when I threw down my cell phone in shock and horror?
Well, I haven’t exactly replaced it. For the past few weeks, I’ve been pretending it’s 1996, except I live with Nate and not with Shanel.
And honestly, I don’t miss the phone much. Except the fact that my favorite Shanel is about to disown [...]

Remember when little Rapunzel was locked in the bathroom tower?

Thankfully, the Great Knight was on hand to scale the ladder and rescue the frightened princess.
Today, the nefarious bathroom captured another young victim and there was no Great Knight or even a ladder to help the poor, distressed child.
So, I did what any good mama would [...]

“Honey, why do you keep pointing at that brownie mix?”
“Cause, look.”
“You are seven years old! You do NOT need to worry about low-fat!!”
Amen.
Moms of seven-year-olds or older or younger, how do we protect our girls from this?

viva la flippa-floppa

Thanks to her riveting tale of Caroline meets Shamu, Big Mama has been my source of daily laughter for nearly a year. It’s true. She reminds of the warmer world that I once called home, so when I heard that she was a throwing a party, a fiesta, well I had to come. Stylishly late [...]

This scrumptious quote came in one of my birthday cards this past week and I have to share it with you:

TEN

NINE

EIGHT

SEVEN

I did get an e-mail yesterday Uncle Kim correcting my spelling of the scary black pig–it’s a Javalina not a Havalina. It’s good to know that a hunter can spell his prey.

TWO

And the number ONE reason why I miss the southwest:

Only five more months until flip-flops and [...]

something red…
It’s “Ava safe up in her little tree”–MCK Mama
Wow, MCK Mama that was fast.
Why is the bird Ava?
“Ava means ‘bird’”–MCK Mama
Whoa, you are on fire. I believe your surprisingly deft observation skills and keen name etymology insight are worthy of a prize. Don’t you?
So, I’m sending you a three by six bar of bliss: [...]
