Pizza. My boy wanted pizza this afternoon, finally, we might have a break! He’s slowly perking up, after three days of fever, fatigue, and general malaise – woo hoo! It’s so sad seeing him sick, breaks my heart. And of course he’s pretty tired of it himself, ha. Plus, he’d like to recover in time…

Nathan’s still sick. My stepdaughter also sick. John and I – so far, knock on wood, cross our fingers, whatever it takes – are still healthy and washing our hands like crazy (a la Suz). Enough with all of this sickness, it’s time for spring! And at 6:30 a.m. today, a lovely cardinal agreed with…

Nathan’s home again today, the third day in 2 weeks, sigh. He spent the morning with Carter and then I – after finally making my Byerly’s run! – swung by and picked him up. I don’t think he’s going to be much into eating dinner tonight, we’ll have to see. I’m making one of John’s…

There is no recipe I could post today that could top the dish featured on Planet Dan. I’m not even going to put the pic on my blog, lest someone think that I created this dish, so check it out by going to his blog. Yeah. Baby. There are definitely people weirder than I am,…

Nathan and I had a great night last night, but it had nothing to do with Chinese food or going to a movie! We decided it was too cold, and he was feeling rough with the start of a cold, and our timing was all messed up anyhow, so we innovated and ordered in from…

I love it when Siggy Roo’s jowls get stuck in his teeth, it’s so endearing! This weather is hard on the old guy, I can see him picking up his feet while he tries to pee – not easy when you have long, shaky legs. He pulled it off, but just barely. He’s such a…

Good morning! I intended to post last night about our delicious evening at Rudy and Ana’s. I even sat down at my computer, spread out my notes (I have to take notes to keep track of all the fabulousness!), put my hands on the keyboard and thought, am I nuts? I am so full, and…

Home with Nathan again today – ugh, this time of year, everyone passing around germs at school! There are kids missing every day, it’s so frustrating. But, so it goes. He’s here, luckily with his backpack and work, so he’s doing homework all day. He’s not happy about it, at this very moment, but he…

A fix-er up day for me. Or as my mother-in-law Dot calls it, maintenance (I love that term!). Haircut, highlights and blowout (right), pedicure (left), manicure (although the manicure was just a buff, I’ve pretty much given up on polished fingernails, just too high maintenance, and a short, buffed nail is quite elegant, thank goodness)….

Happy VD! I’m very grateful to have a valentine on Valentine’s Day. I hated VD in college when I was broken-hearted over some dude, seeing couples walking arm-and-arm around the campus, blech. I’ve been hooked up pretty much solidly since then, ha, maybe it had more of an impact on me than I’ve realized! Being…
