Reading:
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - I borrowed this one from the library last Friday and am really liking it.  It’s set in the Middle East and I keep finding myself wanting to find a quiet corner to sit and read more of it - although, there was a bit of a [...]

25 weeks pregnant

Categorized Under: pregnancy 6 Commented

I *accidentally* kind of went off my prenatal vitamins again.  Actually, I just forgot for a day or two and noticed that my heartburn went away, as well.  So, I thought I’d do an experiment and see if I left out the vitamins a couple of days, if the heartburn would stay gone.  And, it [...]

Baby Talk

Categorized Under: Lorelei, The way I roll, pregnancy 5 Commented

There’s been a lot of talk about babies lately with a new addition coming soon, and Lorelei going through her “baby” phase.
“Baby! Baby!” she shouts excitedly every time a baby or child under the age of 12 walks by. We’ve tried pointing out the difference between baby and kid, but I’m pretty sure [...]

Someone take the spatula away from me…

Once again, no pictures.
I swear, I’ll do better.  Besides, I suck at keeping lasagna noodles all pretty and unbroken.  Luckily, they taste the same.
This recipe is for Spinach Lasagna and my father - the “slap on 80 lbs of beef and we’ll call it a day” guy - even gave it 4 1/2 stars.  It’s [...]

The Calm Before The Storm?

Categorized Under: The way I roll 2 Commented

Looking around, it seems like everything is calm - the air is still and nothing moves.
Except my heart.  It beats furiously, knowing there is something more.
Is it frustration over the events that have transpired today?
Is it the disappointment in having had so much placed on one event, and that certain event left me feeling perhaps [...]

Confessions…

Categorized Under: Food and Drink 2 Commented

[Right here is where there should be a scrumptious photograph of a yummy brownie, but I ate it before my brain even thought about the camera.  Oops.  Will a picture of my thighs suffice, instead?]
I’ve been experimenting with some new recipes lately, although most of them have been “real food” - you know, the main [...]

And, here is where I tell you about a couple of my favorite things…

AFTER KABOOST:

The kaboost is one of our new favorite things, it’s AWESOME. If you don’t know what it is, it’s this little thing that goes on the bottom of your chairs and is completely adjustable for pretty much any chair legs. It’s very sturdy and boosts your child up so they can sit [...]

Stolen

Categorized Under: Me me me., The way I roll 3 Commented

You know how much I *LOVE* lists, so here we go…a stolen ABC meme
(A.) Attached or single? Attached.
(B.) Best friend? My husband and my mom probably know me the BEST, even where I can say nothing at all and they just know somethings. But, I have a lot of other awesome [...]
