Minneapolis!
It’s been almost 9 days since I was on an airplane. Must be time to hit the road again! I’m off to Minneapolis tomorrow. Just a quick overnight trip, not long enough for the Fiance to get in too much trouble. Speaking of that dude, our 9th Anniversary is on Saturday. That’s right…Halloween! He might not [...]

Tomorrow is October 6th aka the greatest day in my Mom’s life (hah). Yep. My birthday. As with all gift-giving events, the Fiance just could not wait till the actual day. He ’splodes if he’s made to wait. Over the course of the past three days he has given me my gifts…lots of yummy books! [...]

I made Julia Child’s boeuf bourguignon. It took me hours and hours. I should have bought meat that was already chopped up. Ouch. My wrist. Also, sliced mushrooms might have been a nice cheat. Oh well, you play…you pay. I was so proud of myself today. I thought I was Top Cat! But…I am not Top [...]

I stopped to admire the newly mowed lawn this morning. I still need to get out there with the weedwhacker to do the trim, but am super happy that the Fiance mowed down the field. While I was basking in the short-grass-ness of our yard, I happened to notice this new modern art piece… That boy is [...]

Alicia Paulson’s Posie Gets Cozy blog is a favorite read. I love her projects, the color palette that she’s used on her home makes me all warm and snuggly and dream of tea and toast. Tonight, while eeking out a small wifi connection, I saw THIS POST. Oh. My. Gawd. I swear an enormous light [...]

I have been on the road for what feels like a week. Actually, it pretty much has been a week. Outside of my cellphone this is the first time I have been on the internet in days!! Sheesh. Total withdrawal. Fiance is home taking care of the furry kids and sending me picture updates of [...]

Spent the whole day in a convention center. Book Expo! The top picture is fuzzy. I’d love to say we were drunk, alas, we were not. On the left is the infamous and hysterically funny Colleen Lindsay. On the other side of me one of my most favorite peeps in the whole world, Kuo-Yu Liang. [...]

We went to Chinatown for dinner. The Fiance has a serious Ray Ban addiction. They had faux Bans in a rainbow assortment of colors. Neon Yellow? How could he not? Apparently I’m engaged to Fred Schneider. Me? I had to go for the blue. The Fiance’s fortune cookie…it lies… Speaking of blue… After Penny’s sewing lesson last night, I did [...]

Some book signing dates announced for the Fiance’s book… If that jpeg is too small, CLICK HERE. Hope to see you there! I’ll be the chick sitting in the corner cursing at her jell-o mold and picking at her cuticles.

I declare last night’s dinner party a raging success. I know I had fun, I think everyone else did too. The Fiance made an awesome meal of marinated chicken breasts (as big as Dolly Partons’, per Colleen) as well as baked potatoes, corn on the cob and the always in demand, banana pudding. Simple and [...]

We’re having friends over for dinner tonight so we did some (truly) last minute cleaning last night. When we were done cleaning, I decided to pull out my rubber stamps and crafty paper and play. You know, gotta make a mess as soon as everything is tidy! The Fiance joined me and made a few cards. [...]

First I had to play with the pastry bag…so I wrote “Renovation” in raspberry jam. Yum! Then, made the cupcakes and splurted them full of raspberry jam. Finally, frosted them w/ Wiltons #21 spout and tossed some green non-pariel sprinkles on top. Preppy Cupcakes! So here’s where I failed… 1. I need to get a feel for [...]

18. April 2009
The Fiance had to work in the city this morning, with a migraine. Poor puppy! While he was stumbling through his day, he snapped this picture of Central Park…packed to the gills! He’s passed out cold now. Poor guy, he’s in rough shape. Even asked me to pick him up (he never does that) in the [...]

The other day I was feeling industrious so I planted 72 heirloom tomato seeds. Those of you who have known me for more than a nanosecond know that I have never successfully grown plants from seed. Yeah. Best of luck to me this year! LOL But tonight? Tonight was all about beer, margaritas and Frito pie [...]

10. April 2009
I brought home roses for the Fiance last night to congratulate him on all the book activity (#1 in Business/Humor on Amazon!!) and he put them in a beer glass, then placed the beer glass in a measuring cup. He’s so straight. No real verdict on Mom’s cat scratch fever. Waiting for my sister to check out her [...]
