Naughty blogger.

Yep, I am a naughty, naughty blogger. I haven’t blogged in forever! In my defense, part of the reason I wasn’t blogging was because I was sick with that sinus thing for a while, but part of it was...

I might have to give up my love of alteration, because it seems like I can’t ever update this list on time. Anyway, here’s my really short list: I have been sick for two weeks and I haven’t felt...

A really late Sunday’s Small Good Things.

I have been really sick since last week. It’s a sinus thing that has totally kicked my butt. I haven’t been able to spend much time of the computer because of how terrible I have been feeling, but...

It seems that I am not getting comments emailed to me, so if you have commented on something, I might not have seen it. Also, are any of you having difficulty commenting on my posts? If so, could...

Sunday’s Small, Good Things.

This was a good week! I managed to take photos of a lot of my small, good things. One thing that I didn’t get a photo of my Ma’s birthday celebration yesterday. I took my Ma and sister out to lunch...

Sunday’s Small, Good Things.

I had a stressful week and add a whole buncha snow on top of that, and you have one frazzled Mandy. However, there were some small, good things, with the majority of them happening today. Here’s...

Small, good things on a Sunday: The belated edition.

My weekends have been flying by and I was just too exhausted to type up a post yesterday. Here’s my small list of small, good things on a Sunday for this past Sunday. I had the best massage of my...

Tofu torture!

How does that title grab ya? Recently, I finally broke down and bought a tofu press, more specifically, the EZ Tofu Press. What in the hell took me so long to buy a tofu press? I entitled this post...

Super duper spicy soup and boozy hot chocolate!

I have been meaning to make this post for over a week now! I have been a regular gadabout for the last week or so and I haven’t had time to sit down and write this out. If your part of the planet...

Sunday’s Small Good Things.

What a busy week! Here’s Sunday’s Small, Good Things: I made a point this week to do more socializing and I certainly lived up to that point! I was finally able to get out and do some thrifting for...

Sunday’s Small, Good Things

This week was kind of stressful on a personal level, so I was really looking forward to hanging out with my best friend in Burlington, VT for her belated birthday shenanigans. This edition of...

Sunday’s Small, Good Things, a day late.

I was so busy on Sunday cleaning and reordering the house from the holiday neglect, that I completely forgot to update Sunday’s Small, Good Things. Here they are: Gruyere stuffed mushrooms. I made...

A new feature: Sunday’s Small, Good Things.

Beginning today, on this first Sunday of the new year, I have decided to launch a new feature, Sunday’s Small, Good Things. This feature, with the name a nod to Raymond Carver, will be the things...

Happy (almost) New Year!

Hi gang! Happy New Year to those of you in different parts of the planet. I had a really relaxing weekend, finally. Mark and I bought a new vacuum and we deep cleaned our furniture. Really...

A walk in the woods, a cure for what ails ya!

I wanted to do something a little special for the blog on Christmas, but I didn’t get a chance to do it, so I might do it on New Year’s Day instead. What I ended up doing on Christmas Day was going...

Soup and a pre Christmas feast!

Happy Christmas Eve, friends! I just wanted to take a moment to share with you the creamy dill and white bean soup I made the other night. It would be a lovely addition to your Christmas feast!...

Christmas!

Now, I have to admit, Christmas isn’t my favorite holiday, because my favorite holiday is Halloween. However, over the years, especially since we bought out home, I have been enjoying the season...

Good news day!

Oh blog friends, I have missed you so much! I am still without a camera, so I haven’t been feeling like blogging at all. However, I spoke with the camera repair shop and they said my camera should...

Sorry for the lack of posts and comments, my blog friends. My camera is in the shop and I don’t know when I will be getting it back. I am hoping it will be sometime this week. Until then, I will be...

Pumpkin pizza and cranberry wine. Yum!

On Election night, I made pizza and drank cranberry wine while waiting for the election results to come in. I kinda overdid it on the wine, but it’s delicious, so I don’t mind. Since it’s Autumn,...

It’s November already?

Hi blog friends! How are you all doing? Are you enjoying November? I like November, although not nearly as much as like October. Mark and I celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary on Sunday....
