What does it cost?

January 29, 2010

Yesterday when I was picking up my nephew to babysit, I was talking with my sister.  We both agreed that we could probably thouroughly clean our houses in about an hour if we put the time and effort into really getting it done.
So today, the experiment starts.  I’m not going to try and tackle the [...]

Small Successes- 1/28/2010

January 28, 2010

1. Yesterday I finally got around to making a fake Applebee’s chicken fajita roll up.  It was tasty.  Different than the real deal, but still very very very good.  Of course, it took about 3 hours, including Chris going out to pick up some french fries and tortillas, but we still ate!
2. I managed to [...]

Turn around.

January 28, 2010

My apartment, my home, my “sanctuary” is a mess.  I don’t quite know what happened.  Perhaps it’s the fact that last week I was in a major funk and it still hasn’t worn off.  Perhaps I need to start making simpler meals with easier clean up that doesn’t take 3 hours (although my fake Applebee’s [...]

Gratituesday- 1/26/2010

January 26, 2010

This week, I’m incredibly grateful for my husband.  He’s been focused so much on his schoolwork and I’m so proud of the time and effort he’s putting in (both school work and extracurricular portfolio/education work).  He’s doing this to be a great provider and I love that.
I’m also so grateful that he is providing for [...]

Do you smell it?

January 26, 2010

Change.  Change is in the air.
I have friends who are thinking they may be pregnant.  They are also considering taking stock out in pregnancy tests.
Christmas decorations are put away, swim suits are in the stores.  Summer is there, just around the corner known as “Spring”.
I have changes coming too.  I know about some, not about [...]

Wilton Course 1- class 1

January 25, 2010

I’ve started taking a Wilton cake decorating class.  I’m taking it at my local Joann’s.  The first class was pretty basic, we mainly just listened to the instructor going over a lot of the basics that are also covered in the course 1 book.
I had to make a cake this weekend for my Grandpa’s 89th [...]

Choices

January 22, 2010

Today is my half birthday.  I’m officially 23 1/2 now!
Today is also the 37th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.
Over 40 million babies have been aborted since then.
I could have been one of them.
My mom conceived me during her senior year of college.  People told her that it would be “easiest” or a “good idea” to [...]

January 22, 2010

Through my blog travels, I’ve found Home Sanctuary.  I’m not fully immersed in the wonderful small things she does (although I’m probably going to jump in gung ho next month (she offers some great prizes!).  Every Friday. she also has a “company girls coffee chat”.
I’ve been meaning to write about my week anyway, but this [...]

Pick your Crazy Train

January 22, 2010

I’m thirsty.
Well.  There’s a lot of beer in the fridge!  Or wine.. or liquor!
Water.  Water water water.  Pop is bad.  Anything but water is bad and will make me fat.
The baby’s up.  What do I do with her?
Oh she’ll be fine on her own!  I’m fine on my own, right?  Maybe she wants some beer [...]
