He looks sweet and innocent here, but don’t let him fool you.
I’m going to savor the tree as it looks in this photo- because I have a feeling it won’t last long.
The tree has been trimmed for less than one full day and Einstein has already reverted back to his old habits from last year. [...]

Shopping for this year’s tree, we saw this one and realized that it had an old bird’s nest hiding in the inner branches. We thought that was a good sign and almost picked it as our tree. But then we remembered the cats. And decided that maybe it wouldn’t be such a good thing to [...]

My emotions spilled out today all over everything. I was still out-of-town, visiting family, in a house-full of 20 people when I lost it and melted down. The normal stress of the holiday combined with my grief over how different I thought things would be for me this Thanksgiving washed over my brain and I couldn’t stop [...]

My extended family has grown big enough to need three separate tables for dinner, and the table where Randy and I sat came complete with entertainment. This little spider ran laps around the candle for the entire meal. We were mesmerized and couldn’t take our eyes off him. Stuffing and sweet potatoes, good conversation with family, [...]

In case you are keeping score, I found out today that Lee’s Famous Recipe Chicken serves actual honey, not honey sauce.

Randy strained or pulled something in his back so he decided to spend the day in bed to give it time to rest and heal. Tonight was dinner-in-bed night. We used to do this all the time back when I was recovering from all my surgeries in 2004 but we hadn’t really done [...]
Spelling Fails: Photo #207

I’ll be the first to admit that my spelling is not always top-notch and that I’d be up a creek without spell-check (and sometimes even with it). So it seems hypocritical that I get so much glee from noticing spelling mistakes made by professionals. So I was amused when I saw this package of peanut [...]
Crafty Supermarket: Photo #206

Today was the Crafty Supermarket and it was a bigger success than anyone involved could have imagined. More than 1000 people came out to shop from the 19 indie craft vendors. There was a line around the block to get in when we opened, and there was rarely a time when we didn’t have people [...]
