Last night was the series finale of the best television show ever made.* *In my educated opinion, of course. If you know TV and you know me, then you know I’m referring to LOST. Unfortunately I can’t say a whole lot about the 2 and 1/2 hour episode. Because it started at 9pm. And I was […]
The One with the Rainy Day Sales
Another day of rain. I thought April showers were supposed to bring May flowers. But I don’t remember April having much rain at all. And I’m pretty sure rain has dictated the forecast for this pre-summer month. At least the temps are almost where they should be. I’m finally realizing SUMMER is just around the corner. I […]
Chocolate Banana Bread
I thought it was our secretary’s birthday. So I wanted to make her something chocolate-y and delicious. I came up with this little recipe. It was perfect. Except today wasn’t her birthday. In fact, this isn’t even the right season for her birthday. It’s in October. Got it. But I’m pretty sure she still appreciated the […]
The One with the Big Five-O
Yesterday I was delighted to discover I had reached the “fifty followers” mark. I should probably give Number Fifty a prize don’t you think? Well. Get this. It was my HUSBAND. I know, right? Two things come to mind. 1. How did he wait this long to become a blog follower? and 2. How in the […]
Sweet and Sour Chicken
I have been slightly uninspired lately when it comes to dinners. The dinner hour rolls around and I suddenly realize I hadn’t even begun to plan a meal. That is SO not like me. But thankfully there are thousands of fellow foodies out there who HAVE been inspired lately. And I came across this recipe […]
The One where Twitter Deals Work for Me
You all know I’m all about the good deals, right? I mean, seriously. That’s pretty much the first thing people know about me. I am a bargain hunter. I hate spending money. But when I do I shop for THE lowest price. And I won’t stop until I know I’ve found it. Thanks, Dad, for this […]
The One with a Walk Down the Aisle
You may recall my look back on college graduation last week? Well, it’s only appropriate that today, just a week later, I share my beautiful memories of our wedding day. Because, two years ago, that’s exactly when it happened. We graduated Saturday, May 17th, 2008. We were married Saturday, May 24th, 2008. It was a […]
Deep Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Remember these brownies? The brownies of thick, chewy glorious chocolate heaven? I made them for our Valentine’s celebration. But I froze half of them. For such a time as this. We have both been craving ice cream something crazy recently. And we’ve indulged ourselves a few times with our favorite local ice cream parlour. But. […]
The One with Gils
It came. I can’t believe it came. I heard the doorbell ring. I peered out and saw the USPS truck. And I nearly squealed. I took a moment, ran to the door, and tried to look “normal” before greeting the mail lady. Sure enough. The box was the right size. I tore into it and […]
The One where God’s Plan Trumps ALL
Where do I begin? Hmmm. Kevin and I have been experiencing the hand of God is some undeniable ways these past days. Our plan for our lives has been, well, uprooted. In Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis says the only way to truly hand over our whole selves to God, is to “be ploughed up and […]
