Almost the witching hour…

Ok, not quite.
But it IS almost time to leave work, sit in traffic for 45 minutes – hopefully no more than that – and go pick up the Kiddo from daycare. (Hopefully the wings to her ladybug costume aren’t destroyed.) Then we’ll probably kill about 30 to 40 minutes and then head over [...]

Flu shots – do you get one?

To my recollection, I have never received a flu shot, not even while I was pregnant with the Kiddo.  I *almost* got one then, I stood in line at a nearby grocery store only to find out they only had shots for non-pregnant adults and elderly.  By then I saw no point at having to [...]

Contest and 25% off sale (take two)

Hurry – less than 12 hours left of the contest!!
 
 
Have I mentioned the bracelet is worth $60?
 
 
 
I’m not sure what happened, but my original post for my 25% off sale disappeared. Hmm. So I’m trying this in a new post.

Tag – you’re it!

So I have been tagged by Irene at Happy Healthy Families.  I’m supposed to share some things about myself that I haven’t mentioned here before.  This should be interesting since I can’t remember half of the stuff I’ve written about without going back to read it. LOL  So we’ll see how this works.
 

I developed my [...]

Another award – thank you!

Sorry I’m late with the thanks, girls.
Thanks to Jacqueline @ Mom to Three Sisters and Emily at Mama and Hustler??? for the award.
I’ll have to search for the next recipients for it later this weekend.

Reminder to take your meds

We got some updated information on my husband’s grandfather’s cause of death.  He had a heart attack, precipitated by him not taking his blood-pressure meds – for quite a some time, apparently.
Also, that he did not go in his sleep like we’d first been told (info was sketchy when we first heard) – but he [...]

When leaving comments…

Just a quick FYI – when you leave comments and have multiple URL’s you want to leave, or any URL for that matter, within the comments (instead of linked to your name by the software), don’t forget to set them up so they convert to a URL with the HTML code:

Otherwise it [...]

RIP Grandpa

My husband’s step-grandfather died on Friday.  We don’t know a lot of details yet, only that he went to lay down for his usual nap and his wife could not wake him a couple hours later.
We didn’t really know him too well, having only seen him at the yearly Christmas party (and occasionally other holidays), [...]

What’s for dinner?

We’re having gnocchi with marinara sauce & steamed broccoli tonight.  Yum!  Well, I hope so, anyway.
We’ve never had gnocchi before, and I’ll be making it myself – the easy way, with instant potatoes instead of fresh potatoes that I have to peel, cut, boil & mash/rice to a pulp.  I don’t have that much time [...]

In a funk

I should be figuring out what this week’s meals are going to be.  But I’m not.
I should be making a shopping list.  But I’m not, I just don’t feel like it.  And I don’t even know what we’ll be cooking this week yet due to the first item above.
I should be compiling a list of [...]
