Yesterday was Lucy’s birthday. She is 5 in people years, or 33 in dog years. I found this nifty online dog year converter. Apparently the 7 dog years to 1 human year thing isn’t exactly true – or so says this website. Anyway. It was her birthday. And she really wasn’t all that thrilled about […]

Because I’m obsessed
March 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, food
I think I’ve gotten a little out of control in this quest to perfect my Costa Vida burrito recipe. I need some serious help. . . really, its borderline obsession here. We had some friends over a few nights ago, and I thought it would be fun to try a whole array of Costa Vida […]

I’ve done this once before. Because a picture is worth 1,000 words. . . What do these pictures say to you? “Just make yourself at home” “The New Beehive” If you’ve seen the “Hair Chair” post, you’ll know why this is extra funny. “Singing in the tub” “Heavy Load” “Mom, I have a baby in […]

It all started February 7, 2008. That was the first night we rented from redbox. We’d heard good things, but hadn’t tried ourselves. You would think, being the technology geeks that we are, that we would have tried before then. Well, at any rate – now we are hooked. We’ve been averaging one movie every […]

Honorable Mention
February 27th, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, random
Remember that nifty little Valentine’s Day Craft contest Sandra and I entered? We didn’t win. But we did get an Honorable Mention. (Unfortunately that doesn’t come with $500) Check it out: http://community.kaboose.com/discussions/post/30132/ At any rate, the craft that did win is pretty interesting too. Its titled “Fragrant Heart Felt Ornaments”. It basically involves using wool […]

Potty Talk, Volume IV
February 26th, 2008 · 2 Comments · a day in the life, bridget
Well, Bridget is doing pretty well with all things potty lately. There are a couple of exceptions, like when she is playing with friends, and doesn’t want to stop playing long enough to go. It seems like we usually have 1 or 2 days a week that are “accident days.” On those days I usually […]

The joys of being 2
February 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, family
Bridget is loving being two. And she’s driving me insane. I think we average two temper-tantrums a day now. Usually over really, really dumb things – like my not letting her get a drink from the fountain at Home Depot for the 3rd time. Or because she can’t run away from me at the Cheese […]

A, You’re an antelope
February 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · a day in the life, bridget
So, I made the mistake of signing this song to Bridget the other day – and now she wants me to sing it to her all the time. She’s been walking around the house saying things like “funny, funny frog” or “yucky, yucky poo.” I guess it could be worse. But honestly, oops. I’m sure […]

Glass Painting

I found this contest a week or so ago, where you can win $500 for the most creative Valentines Day craft. So the motors in my crazy little head started turning. . . I started running ideas past people and getting ideas from others. The result was a dang good entry if I do say […]

Hair Chair
February 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget, family
A few days ago Bridget came into the computer room, where I was sitting, carrying her curling iron in one hand and her white step stool in the other. She told me she was going to do my hair. Smiling at her independence and motivation, and knowing that this was an idea all her own […]
