Ada is napping in our bed again. She goes right in there, and says “good night mama” and then just takes a nap! Instead of screaming that we are the worst ever. So, toddler psychology–is it just that she is in my bed or is it time to buy her a twin size bed? She [...]

Okay, I bitch about the whole goal setting, self evaluation crap at work. I think I posted a Dilbert about it recently. The thing that I hate is that the goals are always based on projects that rely on other people, and if they screw up, it screws up my personal goals even if I [...]

I have one slow cooker (my newly arrived Cuisanart replacement which is so shiny and new) filled with your typical [...]

The phrase I've been using for James lately is “I'm under your tree eating your presents!” Yesterday was a busy day–most of it with just me and my mother. I took her out so she could pick up a few gifts. I picked up a few last minute gifts. We went out to lunch, and [...]

You know you were bacon for it! Originally uploaded by Mac and Mel Wisler Mo's Bacon Bar: applewood smoked bacon; alder wood smoked salt, deep milk chocolate. We got this for Christmas, and while I'm scared to eat it, I love it because I find bacon in unsuspecting places to be very funny. And I [...]
