Life is beyond busy as of late. I’m kind of scatterbrained a bit trying to get it all done. Case in point, my recent Amazon.com purchase. Now I don’t buy cookbooks very often anymore. I have to reall...
I don’t know if I am singled out (I doubt it) but people have the perception often that since I run a dessert based blog that all I do is sit around and eat them all the time….and usually for breakfa...
One of the worst things about having to work from home (most of mine are) is all the things people presume. Many people dream of this and always want to know what it’s like. So here are some pros and...
No really…it has wheels. It’s my portable baking center! You know you want one.
If you watch Seinfeld did you ever see the episode where George tries to break up with a girl and she told him no? In my mid-twenties I had the same thing happened. I was dating a nice enough boy but...
I watched the Vow tonight. A very chick flick indeed and I didn’t force MDP to sit through that. I liked it on some levels (if Channing Tatum tells you he is your husband tell him okay…and then ask h...
I know, I know. Where have you been Peabody? The good news is that I have a little more income coming in the bad news is that I have zero extra time it seems as of late and well the blog falls under ...
I could only be so lucky. Happy Mother’s Day!
So I was looking ahead at my calendar only to see that coming in June is BlogHerFood12. Normally this would mean nothing to me other than the fact that I am going this year. I always want to go but u...
One time when I was a teenager and my parents went back to see my grandpa I was left to my own devices. I was left with grocery money (because I knew how to cook) and money for Chinese food (which is...
Today while watching some business leadership videos that the UW puts out, they were interviewing the former CEO of Starbucks. He said: “There Are No Stressful Situations ONLY Stressful Responses” Ke...
Just like everybody seemed to love Eat, Pray, Love and I did not…everyone seems to love the book The Happiness Project. I finally got it from the library and meh. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m all f...
I was watching the news yesterday and they were interviewing a man who wanted to remain anonymous (yet you could see his full face and most of his body…duh). He was down at the May Day protest that w...
Dear To-Do-List, Only one thing got done on you this weekend on you this weekend. And while it was nice to have clean towels instead of doing the smell test (you know the how bad does this smell, can...
Clearly you deserve a better post…but that won’t be today. :P It’s been a long week around here. People who are close to me know that when someone passes in my life I usually bake bread. Not sure why...
I had mentioned on here a couple post back (the Navy Bean Soup one) that I messed with a former principle but in a totally legit way so as to stay out of trouble (I really am a rule follower). Tons o...
“Are you happy with your life?” “Are you in the best shape you want to be?” While sitting waiting for allergy shots (you have to sit around for 30 minutes after you get them waiting to see if there i...
While my parents were here I made them watch Horrible Bosses. I am highly amused by that movie especially: Nick Hendricks: I was drag racing. Im a drag racer. Detective Samson: You were drag racing? ...
They say that comparison is a joy thief and whoever “they” are certainly got that right. Comparison is what makes women/men hate their bodies, where they live, what car they drive, what shoe is on th...
This is my moms Navy Bean Soup...kind of. The base is her recipe that I grew up on but I changed it a bunch...including adding bacon. :) If you want the recipe let me know and I will post it on here....
Someone I know, I can’t say friend anymore (even though I was at her wedding, baby shower, baby birthdays, etc.) has adopted a new policy in life. I’m pretty sure she has been pay a little too much a...
A series of random letters…. Dear IRS, I owe you money. And while I won’t be sending you that money on Sunday I do need to get on payment plan. I filled out my taxes but you won’t let me finish them ...
My Facebook was lit up today with what could probably be called Easter Basket Confessions. Lists of all the candies that people had eaten and how horrible they were for eating them…blaming the Easter...
I’m posting this recipe because I keep losing this recipe. :) I figure if I put it on the blog I can at least search for it on here. It’s basically French Onion Soup except that there are pieces of s...
Hello April! You arrived so very quickly. Things I learned in March: *I have amazing and generous friends who were there for me when I needed it so very badly this month. And what is best about them ...
I like watching the Voice. I personally can’t sing to save my life and on three occasions have had people offer me money to stop singing….possibly a new career for me? Anyway we always laugh at Cee-L...
MDP and I were roaming the aisles of our local Rite Aid in search of Mini Cadbury Crème Eggs…found them obviously . In doing so we were picking up all sorts of candy and commenting. One of them were ...
A couple of weeks ago on the way home from work MDP called and asked if I need anything and I told him yes that I needed honey. He got to the store and text me what size. I wrote back “bear sized”. “...
