Another NaBloPoMo Gone By

{thanks} As another year of NaBloPoMo comes to a close, I thought I would take this opportunity to check in with my Happy Birthday 2011 List. Shockingly, (not really) a lot of the items on this list made it onto my 101 in 1001 list. As a procrastinator, this makes me feel great because now…

Food Fodder: Oh, How Pinteresting!

Well, Droid has returned! Except they forgot the SD card and the case, the SD card being the important point here. I was going to post my Healthy Hot Chocolate recipe today, but I can’t take pictures without the SD card! I mean, come. ON. I feel like I can’t have hot chocolate until I…

Monday Mosaic {101 in 1001}

You may have heard of this new trend floating around the blogosphere. It’s called the 1001 Day Project or 101 in 1001 or The 101 in 1001 Challenge, or The Longest List of Goals You’ve Ever Made in Your Life, or The Yay, My Life Now Has Purpose; I Need Coffee List or whatever. I’ve…

Saturday Shoppin’!

I was going to post my new recipe for Healthy Hot Chocolate today, but my phone had all of the pictures on it. I’m going Monday to see what they can do. I have a free upgrade *and* insurance that covers *ahem* liquid damage, so I’m sure everything will be fine. I managed to get…

Fill in the Blank Friday

But are we sure it’s Friday? It sure does feel like another Monday! This is how I woke up this morning: “HONEY! Wake up!” as my heart starts to race “The phone went in the toilet!!” Wait. What? (head smashed in pillow) “What do you mean the phone “went” in the toilet? Like, it fell…

Thankful Thursday {101}

In honor of my 101 in 1001 list being thisclose to completion, I thought I would do another kind of list. A list of 101 things I’m thankful for. I can’t do a link-up widget, but feel free to post your 101 list and leave your link in the comments! 101 Things I’m Thankful For…

Living With No Regrets

But I have my moments. I think we all live and breathe with an ever changing list of the shoulda coulda wouldas, but I don’t think that means we have regrets. There are times when I have a bad day or a situation presents itself where my list comes to the forefront of my mind….

NaNoWriMoment

First of all, Mom of the Year, here. I managed to write an entire post yesterday without mentioning that my babies are now 11 months old (uh, yesterday!) and are almost toddling. Yes, we’re taking steps and can reach the cable box. Time to redecorate! (Again.) Moving along… Hello, fellow NaNoWriMo-ers! I can’t do an…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {On Writing}

I wrote a sex scene, actually two, into my novel. It was (They were) to illustrate the relationship between my main character and her first love. It was an exercise in writing about body language and how, when you aren’t seeing or hearing that something is wrong, you might physically feel it. My MC describes…

Fill in the Blank Friday {A few of my favorite things.}

It’s Friday! This week flew by, and thank my lucky stars for that! This weekend we’re finishing the Fall clean up (until the next gust of wind blows the rest of the leaves down) and watching (of course) college football. We’re also going to start the process of moving the girl’s unused baby stuff into…
