irony

The TELEcommunications service on our campus no longer uses phones, they only respond to emails.
There’s just something wrong with that.

thoughts on sewing

Rocks in my Dryer did a post today on sewing, encouraging folks who have not tried to give it a shot. It’s a good post and has some helpful links. My Mom is an amazing seamstress who sewed a lot our clothes growing up, not to mention all the drapes, bedskirts, some bedspreads, pillows, etc. [...]

what to do while waiting

I am learning the art of waiting… sometimes patiently… usually not so patiently… for this baby to arrive SOON!  Since we thought we were going to have a c-section on the 21st (baby was breech but flipped at the last minute- Praise the Lord!) I pretty much had everything ready by the 21st. So it’s [...]

4am

Consistently… for the past few weeks Finn is waking us me up at 4 in the morning. Somehow Jon sleeps through it but I am wide awake as soon as the cat gets going meowing and scratching and jumping on furniture and pawing at my feet… sigh.  (the picture is him sleeping… during the day… [...]

Of special interest to me are books that appeal to both guys and gals.  Jon and I really enjoy reading outloud to one another before we [...]

five ingredients or less- wfmw

I know the Five Ingredients or Less edition of Works for Me Wednesday is coming up tomorrow at Rocks in my Dryer…. and today I am on top of my game! My recipe for Mini Sausage Breakfast Pizzas is listed below. These are great because you can make them, freeze them and pop them out [...]

being satisfied

So I am not doing too swell keeping up with this blog lately! Things have been quite busy as we’ve been getting ready for the baby and everything else that goes along with that. Jon has been studying hardcore for the GRE and I’ve been… being supportive!
I learned yet another lesson from Finn tonight… I [...]
